|
|
| For some of you who know, I've not been on the main site of PBB for nearly 3 months due to my lack of funding and the constant onslaught from the enemy known as bills. Even with my job, and still not being paid yet by the VA, I could not afford to get back in. Now however, I have just enough to pay for a 3 month subscription setup and still have enough to remain afloat. I'm surprised that I did'nt have to wait the usual one month delay, as I have instant access to the site's comic. |

| That's great to hear Rune! ^w^ And perhaps because you'd had loyal membership before, it may have carried over. |

| Not all of the comics are restricted by Loyal status, for the main comic it's just restricted on issues 3 and 5 and then I think most of the fan comics are Royal only. |

I'm thinking that Rune may have meant the whole image pages, as opposed to the jigsaw pages the non-loyal members must read.
As for the Royal Status carrying over, it is highly probable as Ronald mentioned a short while ago that he was implementing a new system for managing accounts and that this account would allow him to keep track of individual accounts and some such. In essence, this system would allow a member who has previous reached Royal Status and had to step away from the site for a temorary time to return without having to re-establish their royal status. |

| But thats why they have the time limit though so people cant just join cheap and get the comic, while the rest of us have been paying for that same content for months, so I highly doubt that he got all the content back... |

Silvador was mentioning a system that would keep track of an account, allowing accounts that had ALREADY reached royal status to resume that status if the subscription was discontinued and then renewed later. The waiting period would still be in effect for NEW accounts. |

| I looked it over guys, and I have full access to the site's comics. I pored over it all, and I can view every single page from each and every issue. |

See That doesnt make sense but at the same time it does, heres what I remember reading before I joined
Quote: NOTE: We may update/change the site later to include a Loyal Members area to reward those who have been with the site beyond a 30 days membership. If you choose to cancel, you will forfeit your Loyal Status, and forfeit any benefits of a loyal member. You can however, regain your loyal membership status by rejoining and stay beyond 30days. |

So you will be able to retain ONE LOGIN, but be able to "subscribe" to different sites.
Similar to how Battle.Net works and EA accounts or XBOX live.
Each membership is a separate "product" but the account will be persistent, instead of having to do multiple signups everytime your membership expires. This way I can track loyal status better for those who are taking breaks. |

| We might have to ask ronald about this because there was another instance where hank had to wait again to become a royal member, so why exactly didn't he get his royal content back right away and rune did?, surely this new system couldnt have just come into effect? And the point of the loyal system was that so older members couldn't just drop off and join back in cheap and get the same content as the people who were paying nonstop for that same content, if this system was for that then the loyal system would have been pointless... |

You have to give your old account information to Ronald and he will match it up to your new information. That's what he told me to do once I'm able to afford the subscription again |
