Pantymagazine - Subscriptions

john · Site Admin Joined: Nov 02, 2005 Posts: 10039

We have received a couple of serious emails recently. These relate to "minors" that have registered for this site in order to view pics....

The latest email arrived this morning from a very upset parent and there is also an ongoing email exchange between Annabelle and another distressed parent which will we hope will be resolved shortly.

This brings us to the discussion re subscriptions.

We now firmly believe that in order to protect ourselves and this site, we have to have a cc check and verification system in place in order for us to be certain that those viewing the pictures in this site are over 18.

To that end, we will probably be putting in place a small monthly charge for subscribers who wish to view picture albums. The forum will essentialy remain free but if you wish to view pics or take part in chats and so on, then there will be a small monthly fee of around $5 a month.

What that will also do is enable us to put in place Chat and several other features members have asked for as well as helping us out with hosting costs, etc.

It will also mean an end to censoring of pics that are sexualy explicit.

We will also have in place a picture post count system whereby regular contributors to the picture section will get free access to all the features on this site provided we are satisfied they are over 18 years of age.

I think a small monthly charge makes sense and in reality, I know some people are concerned about giving CC details or simply wont pay towards the upkeep of this site. I firmly believe that apart from the safety it gives us with regards to age verification, it also makes sense for those that wish to use all the features of the site, including pics, chat and we will also look to add a video module, to pay a small monthly fee for those additional extra's.

I will keep you all posted on where we are with this.

cheers

John

Hi John

I support the move to a fee. Any chance of an option to pay an "annual fee" as I (and perhaps others) would prefer to have a charge to their credit card appear only once?

Cheers.

thanks for the feedback and support. Yes, we will be able to do an annual fee as well.

For picture posting counts, we will put these in place from when the scheme goes live but will of course also be open to those have contributed regularly to date.

cheers

John

That's a shame, I will not be taking up the 'offer' but recognise the inevitability of this. Please advise how I "unsubscribe" ........

To Pantyman

Why is it important to unsubscribe? Just don't go on the site (you are obviously trying to attract attention to yourself)

if you do this i will be leaving your site .... tell those parents its not your job to watch their kids, it's the parents

sorry

Fenman

Let's be honest about this .... modern parents leave a lot to be desired in the way they care for their kids - that's why these moves are sensible ones.

bull shit conservative, parents like that are the reason there are gang shootings every day were i live, they expect the village to raise them. while there out doing drugs or sucking @#$%. this is more of an issue then anything on this this site, this is bad parenting, your probably one of those people that think we should change our constitution too.

I used to have a really good friend that came from Flint. Fortunately, he moved away while he was young and became a very decent individual, and a good family man.
I personally traveled through some of Flint's neighborhoods within the past six months and all I can say to you Tommy is, 'good luck and keep up the good fight' Smile

.
I could go on and on about the problems with kids today, but I'm no behavior analyst so I won't pretend to be. All I know, is that I honestly do MY best to raise my share of what will hopefully become tomorrow's respectable member's of the world's society.
More good people need to have children to counter the trend these days...that's my theory, and I think it's a good one.

Oh, and unless my previous and upcoming pictures are counted, I will not be partaking in this site any longer Sad

Cheers,

yeah i can't believe a couple angry parents can do this to all of us. i mean, kids can find free porn all over the goddam internet. porn thats WAY more hardcore than anything on this site. i don't care much bout paying, but a lot of people do. we are gonna lose a lot of membership Sad

I have thought of something that *might be a problem, but I'm no lawyer either, heh.

Being that there are so many submissions on this site that are copyrighted to other owners, would that cause a problem if you were to charge a fee to view such items?

I know of at least three photos of mine that I have posted elsewhere on the internet over the past few years have been submitted on this site by someone other than myself or my wife.
It could be cool if every submission was original and you charged...very original too Smile

some real good points and some i don't want to dwell upon, i've been on this site for a very long time now, no i don't post pictures, i do enjoy the forums, and i comment on many of the postings, all i can say it was great while it lasted, ty for that pantyman, but i won't be paying to enjoy it . My opion, for what ever it's worth . 5.00 at 16000 members, not a small monthly amount.

parents always have a way to blame others for thier own fuck up's, just like the parents who let thier child play violent games such as GTA (grand theft auto) knowing the violence that is in the game. then when thier child acts out the game and hurts somebody they state "oh the my child was playing the game and the game made my child hurt someone" nope sorry parents, the game didn't make the child hurt someone YOU made the child hurt someone by letting him and/or her play the game, it's like owning a firearm and having it loaded sitting on the coffee table knowing the child is gonna see it and think it's a toy,who's fault is it if the child picks it up and blows his/her head off? not the child's fault,it's the owner of the firearms fault.like previously stated, it's the parents responsibility to raise thier own kids not anyone else's.it's really funny to me how they let thier child surf the net knowing what type of sites are on the net & they use no programs that will block the content then they bitch and rage how thier child was introduced to what they found and saw.

honestly if subscriptions are going to be enforced then i will also have to leave...i got other bills that i have to pay.it was good while it lasted.

and a big

to the parents who like to blame other people for thier own screw up's
