Firstly, most of this site will remain free, eg, forums and so on. It will only be additional "premium" areas that would incur a fee. These would be the picture viewing area, chat and a couple of other features.
Any pictures belonging to other pay sites, once identified, will be removed from the albums.
If you contribute pics, not sure how many we would specifiy a month, you will get free access anyhow. We would need to be satisfied as to age though so were still thinking on how that can be achieved.
One of the positives of this is that members will be able to contribute more explicit pics, so a lot of pics that have been denied or deleted because they show explicit sexual stuff and exposed genitalia will be allowed, once we have protection in place to ensure that those viewing those images are over 18.
Another positive is chat, which we will look to bring back and a few other additional features, possibly some video, maybe live chat with models, etc, etc
To be honest, bad parenting or not, the fact is we run a responsible site and we dont really want to draw unwanted attention to ourselves for whatever reason.
As I said originaly, I know a lot of people simply wont pay (anyone making a calculation of 5 x 16000 is in fantasy land - I expect maybe 50 - 100 paying members and maybe 50 picture contributors) and the issue, for those people that have said they wont be coming back, remember the premium areas of the site are only part of the site. The rest is in the forums, the community, the links and so on and those areas should remain free. If you come here only to view the pictures, and want to stay part of the premium areas, and have some original pictures to contribute and it stays free for you.
I dont think everyone needs to get upset by this. For my part, I think it is a necessary, and sadly inevitable development
cheers
John

Why is it important to unsubscribe? Just don't go on the site (you are obviously trying to attract attention to yourself) |
What brought that on ?
I'm off, don't want to know
Not interested any more
This was meant to be fun, but you take it all so seriously

With everyone that has uploaded images to your site while it is free are you going to delete all of the past images from people who do not pay? I have not uploaded many but even the ones I have uploaded I will want removed if I have to pay to see them, I am sure many others will want their pictures removed as well once they cannot access the photo's.

How about making it a dollar or something, since you only want to do age check anyway?

To guyinpanties - yes, if people want their images removed, we will be happy to do so. All they will need to do is contact us with the image names and brief description and we'll take care of that
To dime2004 - We have agreed on a price of around $5 for reasons stated above - ie. being able to add some additional features that some members have asked for as well as for helping out on costs for server and bandwidth. Sponsors help pay for this site but thats only through resells on paying subscriptions. You can understand that it doesn't amount to much. The main costs we incur are through bandwidth charges, and the main things that eat that are multimedia sections such as pictures. we also expect chat to add to that as well as an aditional video feature.
I cant understand why so many people are against this. To date this site has been completely free. We have tried to make ends meet through sponsorship upsells but thats not paying for much. Surely, if you want to use all the premium option on this site, for the price of a couple of beers a month, it's not such a big thing??
Once again, if you contribute pics on a regular basis, theres nothing to get concerned about. This site was always intended to be community driven and those that drive it through contributions will keep all their privledges.

plus if the forums would still remain free, what about the "hot panty sites" part of the forums? do we still get that?

well, what we may also do is contact some of the sites direct and ask them they would like their pics removed or if they would like accreditation for the pics of some sort which may well send some traffic their way. It's early stages for all this and theres stilla lot of things we need to consider and cover.

So why not just have a subscriber section for those who want to post sexually explicit pics?

The END is NIGH! I agree with whowhat1. I also have a feeling that the majority of the pic's on this site are from pay sites and the people(some) who claim to have the copyright of some pic's are telling porkies!!

if we are gonna do a age check...if it's possible why not just use a drivers license number?..honestly i would feel more safer to use my DL number then a credit card.any one who's any one if they are a hacker could possibly steal the credit card numbers and use it for thier personal gain.

Funny thing, When "How do I unsubscribe ?" is put out there..Thers no answer to that one..Im not paying 5.00 for this..The comment "Just dont go there" isnt the case when there is a recurring charge every month to my credit card ...I want info how to unsubscribe if possible.....
