They never really gave me a clear answer other than it violated their terms of service. I only assumed it had to do with the adult content.

 I'm sure if there is a technical issue SO can make it happen either way. I remember him saying if you have difficulties in seeing the forum email to .......... He is working to make this available to everyone at a very reasonable cost. Is it perfected yet probably not....a simple email stating the difficulty may solve the issue.

its not that he is trying to get money for profit here, he is trying to not come out of pocket any longer and I get it, its not a hard concept to grasp.

 I've been around this forum almost 4 years. Lurked for about 6 months before registering. I can personally attest to the honesty &amp; integrity of SO &amp; moderators of this site. Mods and other members have messaged me responding to my inquiries and taken time out of their lives to help me. Information here is invaluable. I will, as pathetic as this might sound to alot of you, admit that this forum helped save my life at one point. S.O. has been very generous with his time and money keeping the site afloat. I will admit, I would not have to the patience to deal with the shit SO and mods deal with on here. When people are willing to pay to travel to a different country and pay up to $3k for a procedure, then bitch about donating to the very site that probably gave them all the invaluable info to begin with I say this:

To the "numerous members who wish not to be publicly involved with this discussion"- Go start your own fucking site and pay for it yourself with your own time and money

 SO, if PayPal will not pay to PhalloBoards do you have another email address? I could try that.

Or maybe, some of these ranters can offer to have us pay $5 each month to their email accounts then forward to you by google wallet - that's part of the "fraternity" one can expect from an "exclusive" forum like this ...

 @dprice

As a multi-business owner myself, why is the small fee of this site such a dilemma for you? Fueling up one of my work trucks cost more than a lifetime membership does.

I don't understand why people are acting like it costs a fortune.

 For those that think SO "should" do something, change, modify things to their liking, etc - you're wrong. This isn't your board, and if he wants to sell his magic pet rocks on here, what is it to you?

The attitude portrayed by the original poster is ignorant and entitled. You have donated nothing, other than your little and loud opinion.

You want access to a knowledgeable community on what is undoubtedly a sensitive topic? Pay for it. Or don't, it's a free country. Websites aren't democracies.

And for those people who "can't" pay for a basic donation because of their severely depressed economic status, should never have the economic wherewithal to stomach a $3k tab for PMMA enhancement. So it's a moot point...unless of course, we change our discussion from ability to pay, to a question of financial priority.

If I see ads here, I'm going to click them - personally, I kinda want SO to be well-compensated for his time and effort. Those who wish to defy economic gravity and expect others to carry the financial brunt for their personal benefit, display a basic ignorance of economics and the incentives that drive them.

Shout out to the mods as well as SO for running, building, and continually donating to the community.

 I know at one point SO made it to where if you posted in patient progress and 2 pages and pictures your membership was free.

So to those 6 guys who can't or won't pay, why didn't you take advantage of his free offer while it was available before the paid membership took effect.

If you were lurking for so long you would have seen that said........

Just my 2 cents...
And oh by the way I've had no procedures of any kind and I donated back in December and again in January $100 was well worth the damn info I got here.

So why you whining about 50 bucks when you got 100's of posts and 1000's of pages for free
BEFORE YOU SPENT MONEY ON YOUR Dick!!

ALL that knowledge, insight, progress reports for free. Any of you 6 could have started progress reports prior but didnt, now you whine..... I don't get it.

You didn't want to contribute then for everyone to benefit, but you complain when you can't partake for free....

Thanks to the mods, SO and the contributing members, your collective insight and comments helped me in my decision against Phalloplasty

Please don't address "the moderators." The commercial side of the forum has nothing to do with any of the Mods as far as I know. Skeptical One is the Adminstrator. It might seem like a petty distinction to you, but as a moderator i think it's only fair you don't address us with your grievances, as we aren't responsible.
