premium membership

It means the Admin are working on a way around the problem. Finding a workable solution is easier said than done. So have patience.

 

well I'm sorry, but what do you expect us to do when most of the payment providers don't want to provide us with service? It's not something we can just write magic code to fix.

 

Just got a new payment system going today. Hopefully this one will work for a long time.

 

I was testing out the premium feature and didn't set myself as admin yet.

 

Ain't gonna last more than 5 days? Any next plan to mitigate this problem? If none, then what happens next?

 

didn't even last 1 day, they gave us a week to stop using their service. So we're giving people the chance to buy premium for as long as we can, and then we will likely stop doing premium accounts because it no longer appears to be a viable business model. People who buy premium before the end of this week will continue to be premium until their time expires.

 

And so have you both think up of a new method in sustaining the site cost? A week is such a limited time to fish enough new premium members.

 

yes, we have only been given a week so a week it is.

 

we don't have a paypal account and aren't allowed to have one.

 

"Rethink the site", as in payment service provider?

 

as in change the business model because premium accounts are no longer viable, and ads don't pay well enough to support the site. So we need to work out another way of making the site pay for itself.

 

I might be able to do the manual payment after a while, will need to make it easier to upgrade people to premium manually then. It's not something that's really scalable, though.

 

I think this topic is better merged with this topic : http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=64073.0. They're the same title, OP, and discussion. What's the point of having multiple topics on the same subject?

In any case, I've noticed another rom sharing site (named similar to this forum) is facing the exact same issue. Coincidentally that site's admin is also creating a new site to replace it, as so was planned here.
