TOPIC: PhalloBoards will become a subscription-based forum.

Aw man so its 100 a month or a year

Soooo glad you decided to do this S.O...This will improve the site so much. So if I go send $50 right now, I'll be a lifetime member right? With access to everything?

I've got my card handy. Just wanted to confirm what I asked above.

It's $50 now, $100 after this Friday.

Yes, members who wish to post a progress report with a minimum of one before & after photo-set can obtain temporary free viewership (which I'll clarify in the subscription thread)... and their membership can become a free lifetime membership if the thread reaches at least 2 pages in rich content (which includes thorough updates as well as discussion with other members of the forum). They simply would need to email me with their before & after photo set as well as a draft of their first post (must be thorough & detailed), and we can go from there.

The CCBill accepts a number of currencies, so yes, international funds can be accepted.

I'll do my best to encourage new reports but I believe there is a good 6 years worth of info here already that in itself presents a pretty good sample size & big picture.

I'm not sure I understand your question. Paying for a lifetime membership means that you wont have to deal with restrictions on this site once the subscription program goes into effect.

So after Friday, if you hadn't had any sort of membership, you will find only a small number of sub-forums remain visible.

I meant whether it's 50 or 100 it doesn't matter to me I will still pay it.

How much should I donate roughly for a lifetime membership?

I'll be using the forum for another year or so and will pick the most economical alternative.

At long last! Will there be a method of extracting the monthly subscription from my card? It's the only option available in my region for small amounts (bank transfers for larger).

Not open to discussion but what about suggestion? Why not make it flat, who doesn't like can leave the board? I consider that paying monthly over my lifetime will be a hell of a lot more than a one- or two-time donation, plus everyone should be reporting anyway ...

- The first hand reports about anything other than PMMA are extremely rare. I fear that a subscription approach will limit them even further to the point where there will be none. P

That is, to be fair, a very good point...

Hadn't thought of that.

Not really a good point. With that reasoning, imagine if this site didn't exist at all. You'd have zero accounts of first-hand experiences, and even worse, what little info was available was monopolized by unscrupulous physicians and patient associates.

I started this forum voluntarily & out-of-pocket. It's time the community return the favor.

The system for membership fees is already up and the implementation & execution of this program will happen sometime within the next week. For those who'd like a sneak peak for what to expect, here's the final forum draft: phalloboards.websitetoolbox.com/post/sub...38089?pid=1292510259

Just sent $50 through the donation app. Thanks for everything.

Cheers bro.

That's correct.

Look at the very top of any page. Click that link.

So when exactly does it start? I would like donate before it starts.
