[Time For Vitor]

I have some excellent ideas for generating revenue

Mentioned this before but think it's perfectly acceptable to flip that on us.

"Due to rising server costs we'll have to up the monthly forum sub price"

Pretty sure all but the absolute lunatics would understand. We all want the forum to survive and those that scoff at an extra quid or two would soon regret it if it shut down. Spend more on a pint than we do here per month.

Thanks mate, we couldnt tweak existing subs even if we wanted to, people would have to do a new one. I think what we have is pretty expensive as is though - we don't get it all/Paypal take a cut.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, implement other avenues apart from PayPal to become a supporter, I'd even do a bank transfer.

There's probably thousands of other folk like me who decided to buy stuff whilst drunk on eBay and got perma banned just waiting to put money in.

Ta. Little restricted by the forum software and what payment methods they'll plug into 'forum supporter'.

We have a shop that accepts card payments though, and I did setup this thing;

^ But again it's not connected to forum supporter/sub

Expensive? Dude I spend more per month on a Twitch sub to watch otters swimming about.

There's options for £3.33 to £10 per month, that's a lot isn't it for words on a screen.

It's alright, @tommye is going to repair my house roof for cost price and then I'll just pay for the server no bother.

Wait, what, there's a £10 p/m option?!

Here's me asking to pay more and I already could, what a scamp.

Just tried mate, card can't be accepted.

Powered by PayPal

And that's selecting the debit card option, not the PayPal one. 'Kin thing has it's claws in everything.

Since August - it allows an option to select a style for no ads. We've got three on it, I'm sure how life changing they'll tell you it is @truebluejersey @Bohemian Toffee @tommye

Best thing I ever did

Life is wonderful now.
The birds are singing, the sun is always shining and the extras like the massages are magnificent.


Would defo recommend to everyone

Oh and the Groucho nudes are worth at least £10 each.


Phwooooaaaaar

Could just put the whole site behind a paywall. I’d rather that than it close down. I know you wouldn’t wanna do that but if you close down the site then a headlock to DBB is the worst of our worries.

Which one mate

Any one mate.

If you provide bank details, I’ll cancel the PayPal and will set up a standing order so you get it all.
