TOPIC: PhalloBoards will become a subscription-based forum.

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.

Fair enough, forum provides immense value to me.

Thats good! its gonna help keep things serious and on topic! (less shills and crap)

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

Not sure I follow the analogy entirely , I do see his point Skeptical.

Ultimately if people have to pay to be able to post their feedback, new feedback will be reduced, the call is, is that a price worth paying.

Is there no way we could all pay the subscription which the site deserves but somehow allow people who are leaving a log to leave it without paying ? Perhaps leaving a new log requires no subscription but reviewing other peoples logs does?

The logs are such a vital part of the forums , it\'s the element that really helps people see results and decisions.

Where do we do the lifetime donate thingy Skeptical one?

Can I donate outside of the USA?

Aw man so its 100 a month or a year

ATTENTION:

Pending any sort of unforeseen technical hurdles, we anticipate the subscription program to go into effect this coming Friday. For those who are still interested for lifetime membership at a discounted rate ($50), you have till then to sign up. Otherwise, lifetime memberships will revert back to $100, and monthly, bi-annual and and annual rates are currently at $5, $25, and $40 (which may also change, but probably not by much if at all).

Sorry to be a dumbass but where do I pay the $50 lifetime from?

I\'ll also pay up, fuck it, 50 dollars I can afford for this kind of advice.

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

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.

Most everything is in place. The last technical hurdle I have is setting all the parameters for different account types on this forum. I haven\'t fiddled with those features in a while and the controls can be rather convoluted. Plus with my personal life & work, I can only predict a window of time: membership requirements will go into effect as early as this weekend, as late as the following weekend. Mid-June more-or-less.

With updated pricing lifetime membership is $100, but stands at $50 (50% discount) until the program is implemented. Since I don\'t know the exact day & time it will be implemented, it would suit those best to donate if they desire lifetime membership. Donations for the sake of donating is also appreciated. Otherwise subscription packages will include $5, $25, and $40.
