Paying for Membership?

[Rikardo]

Do you think it's a little too much to pay £44/$69 for 3 months?

[Tearlach]

Just a little, but it is great artwork, stories and games once you have paid and been here a month you will get full access. Then I think you will find it value for mony, after all the artists have to be paid, the web server ect and of course it has to make some profit on top of all that.
When you consider how much a good book can cost or an evening down the pub, then £14.50 a month does not seem so bad. 8) :D

Are you talking about Bon Bon?

Well, I'm not quite sure on the pricing for regions. We let CCBILL update the regional price settings.

But Bon Bon is normally $25 a month. We usually set the pricing so that if you get the bigger months, it's billed a smaller price.

If you consider this fact, that Bon Bon has been around for 4 years. And those who join now, and wasn't around when it first opened, you're actually getting a better deal.

I kind of hate membership business model or structures because those who have been long time supporters I feel should be rewarded with more Loyal Members content. If I had my way, I would track loyality status down to the number of months, and offer different levels of Loyal Content.

Sort of like how Habbo hotel offers rewards based on how many months you've been a member.

So at the end of the day. $25 a month for 3 months, gets you a ton of content that you skipped out on seeing. There are more than comics in the members area as well. Lots of interactive games that if you stop to think about it are worth the money itself.

So what do you think it's best, 1 month or 3?

[Tearlach]

I go with the three especially if you are just starting because you have to wait a month to get access to the members only extras and if you let the pay by date slip past then you will lose the access and have to start again.

[Rikardo]

so after my three months, am I suppose to pay for one month to get extras?

[Tearlach]

Oh no. I meant that if you pay monthly and don't have a direct debit for the payment you could miss the payment due date and that would reset your membership and you would have to wait a month to get access to the members extras.

What happens is that you make your payment 1or 3 months and you will get immediate access to most of the web site such as the games, pin up galleries and the like. However you have to wait a month while being a full member to gain access to all the comics.

So if I stay a member for a month, even though I'd payed for three months, I can still have extras?

No I mean that if you pay for three months, you will not get FULL access untill the first month of your membership has passed once the first month of your membership has passed then you will be given full access to the site.

This is done to stop people joining the site as a member downloading all of the comics, pictures and the like and then canceling their membership and getting a refund.

That's what I meant to say?

[Tearlach]

No problem. Also if you wish to join in on the Cherry Blossom Tears rpg then just read the posts in the game thread and add your fursona or the character you wish to use in the character thread, and join in.

That's awfully kind, but my charecter is more stuck to the PBB universe, and also I can't think of any charecters at the moment.

How do you know when your 3 months are up?

[Eechironin]

Will PBB offer 6 mo or 1 year for discount?

[Ronald]

I'm not sure. I can look into that as a possibility.

[Rune174]

That might be something I might want to try.

[Kiala_Tiagra]

discount is not a bad idea
