TOPIC: Leechers asking for free pictures of yours - Don't give it to them

You can do what you want. But here is my case for not giving it to them. And really i would like to know any logical reason why you should give it to them - they plan to do a 4000usd operation, this place gives basically necessary invaluable information (partly of your input!), they add nothing to the forum but only want to leech, and somehow they \'cannot afford 25usd\' while somehow they \'need\' the pictures, while if everybody was them there would be no forum at all and no before and after pictures and no reports and a lot more people going to Elist whatever.I just got another really nice message to please just send him a before and after picture from me.I understand. There is an instinct to \'just help\' this nice guy. Perhaps i even feel special because i got a nice private message.I wrote him:----
Hi thereThe forum is dying.
The owner says he cannot keep the forum up.Because hardly anyone subscribes to the forum - it\'s 25 dollars.
(And for later years: when you do a good report, you are a lifelong free member)You are thinking about taking PMMA. This will be a total cost at eg 4000 dollars.With this forum here you get basically necessary super-valuable Information.
When noone pays, the owner has to pay out of his own pocket, and the forum will be gone.
Then you say \'nooooo, there should be a forum where people tell about the whole experience in great detail and post before and after pictures\'.I\'ll tell it harsh: if you plan to do a PMMA operation that costs about 4000 usd (even if it would only cost 1000usd), and you are too cheap to pay this forum 25usd, and try to cheat to get pictures so you don\'t have to pay - then i think you are really just an asshole. Sorry.You can do what you want, but I encourage everyone to not give people your photos, that you made, where you made the forum better, because you also got great help out of the forum - to leechers who then can proceed to not donate to the forum and not add value to the forum in any way and basically make the forum die.The \'Sorry sorry, i am sooo poor\' Bullshit just doesn\'t work when you are planning to do an operation that costs about eg 3000usd.---ps
These askings happen again and again.
I would actually disable the ability to message other people for anyone who is not a subscriber.
Then this BS would be stopped and Messaging would be another \'plus\' for subscribers(pps Private messages should be a privilige because private messages often are detriment of the purpose of a forum -> it\'s mostly 1 single guy who wants private personal coaching from another member. And noone profits but this one person, perhaps two. If it would be on the forum then hundreds of people now and in the future profit from it)

Well, your\'re a magnet because you have your stats posted.

Similarly, when I posted I got to 7\" and then 8\" in Girth the first message/post I get is \"Can you post/send me a pic\". I just ignore them unless it is from an contributing member. (Penis pun )

I send pictures privately because I don\'t want them online.

I only do it if I think they are genuine though.

I understand people not wanting things up here.

I didn't realize how important this forum was, and having donors was, until it was temporarily down.

We need people to support this forum going forward. Monitoring progress, especially years and years down the road is SO important.

Which reminds me, it's about time I donate some more.

Thanks for putting this into perspective.

I always thought $25 for 6 months (which is more than enough time to do a whole-forum study if you commit the time), $40 for a year, and $100 for a lifetime membership is perfectly fair given that the information yielded by the purchase amounted to less than a percent of the total cost of your future penis-enlargement endeavor (think travel, lodging, AND the procedure). Or think, $25+ to learn you decide to opt out of penis surgery, thus saving you thousands.

Furthermore, to be as fair as possible, members willing to put forward a quality progress report would be extended a lifetime membership at no charge.

For those who are worried about their information while doing transactions: CCBill is very secure and all I receive is the invoice # and your username in the email receipt. Those who simply think it\'s \"too much\" or \"unfair\" to be charged for invaluable information...well ask yourself this: do you really want to be cheap with your one & only Dick?

For the record, biggest reason I started charging for photo-viewing was that donations were far & few...honestly that\'s pretty sad given how much this forum has clearly provided. /endrant



p.s. the forum is no longer \"dying\" and it\'s been as healthy as it has since inception and 2019 will be a great year for PhalloBoards. Membership purchases played and will continue to play a big role in that.

Dream-
I completely agree with your take on this. So much valuable information here. If someone is seriously considering having an enlargement procedure done the membership fee is a very small price to pay.

I learned something today I\'m not a member yet but i also don\'t ask for pictures I\'m just gathering info at this point..I\'m not sure how long dr.c has been doing this PMMA procedure but i feel if i would of acted to fast when i first seen elist work i would of been another nightmare story of his..So with that being said i like to make sure no one member isn\'t gonna fall off in a couple years afterwards..but I\'m not sure if i was reading that right but are u saying u personally charging people to see your pics or are you asking them to become a paying memberof the forum because i wouldn\'t agree if your sending pics for personal gain but if your asking for them to support the forum that i could respect...but again i agree with 25 usd could save 4000usd but if even thought I\'m not there yet i wouldnt pay an individual money for a pic. Without it some how contributing to the forum itself..

I don\'t think Dream\'s asking for money for pics. He\'s talking about people who can\'t even make a measly $25 contribution to this form yet want access to everything, including pics. Seriously guys, ultimately this is a self improvement forum and any investment to improve yourself is a sound one. Do it.

People rarely post pictures anymore which is so annoying.

Frankly, I don\'t lend my attention to progress reports without pictures. Penis embellishment syndrome is real.
