Why aren't more TT users 'Supporters'?

Roll up, roll up, only €10 for a good time

I am wondering why more TT members haven't become Supporters?

I am hoping that most are like me and just don't(didn't) know about it. I accidently came across the info on what it cost to run the website and how little it cost to support the website. I got to thinking about how much info I have received from TT members over the last 9 months of reading that 20 euro is nothing. Think about it where could I buy a guide book that would include all the information on TT plus the great debates and to top it off where to buy a pint of milk. wink.gif

So what are the other excuses besides ignorance?

Are you Bob in disguise?

Procrastination? I'm a supporter now, but it took me months just to get around to signing up.
seth17
No Bob's paying me an incredible commission of 0.00025 for every new Supporter. laugh.gif

Not really, I just started adding up what all this info would cost if I was buying it and realised how truly invaluable this site has been for me and wondered why...
Slackmack
Maybe there is enough freeware to please

I wish there were more supporters also. I think if you hit the 1000 post mark then you should be a supporter. Just my opinion.

I was a sponsor at one time, I also enlisted others to pay up... hell I was even a mod here but that was a long time ago and I'm just not here often enough to warrant supporting.

I think you should save your money for more inportant things. Twenty euros - that is two fifths of a blowjob.
What would you rather have? A blowjob every two and a half years or a supporter group membership?
I know my choice.

In exchange for giving this thread a "bump," I'd like to ask Editor Bob for a complimentary extension of my Supporters subscription. laugh.gif

Seriously, it is worth it, and EB definitely earns his shekels keeping up with all our sometimes off-topic posts...

Would fewer of my posts be deleted if I was a supporter?

Actually, if you hit the 1000 post mark you should get a free subscription - you're the one creating all the content for the site! Technically, those that browse the forums all day but don't write anything useful should be the ones paying.

Funny. I've been meaning to do this for months, but simply haven't. Laziness, mostly. I haven't filed my taxes, either, so that should tell you something. The latest excuse is I'm waiting for my new debit/credit card from postbank. It will be sooner rather than later.

Hah! If only. Hell, I'd probably pay double if it would cut the number of deletions by half.

Edit: BattalionBoy actually made me laugh. Dammit.

woof.

Yes, and you can fucking use far more fucking gratuitous shit-wielding profanity than usual.

Oh, and on the last Saturday of each month, Bob sends around 3 very hot and very accommodating sex slaves to do your bidding for a night (male or female, depending on your preference - he PMs you and asks in advance).
Slackmack
unfortunatly the dim slaves have no satnav and often fail to turn up

Speaking of ignorance, where is the link? I really knew nothing about donating / supporting...
Showem
Supporter payment link.

You can also get a 3-month subscription by writing an article that appears on the TT front page. Quite simple really, just follow Editor Bob's article guidelines.

So what would I get, exactly? A pass to the girly chat room where they snarl and scratch at each other in private? That can be had here publicly, for free! The ability to use more profanity is enticing, I must say. Can one hurl more epithets at other members with a paid subscription? see members naked (again, not in the girly room, please)?
leeza
No, mlovett, but for a measly €1.66 a month, you can see all the shit wonderful and exciting things people are writing about you many exciting and wonderful people in the Supporters Forum. ph34r.gif

Note: I have serious PMS (PMT) and cannot be held responsible for my snarky comments.
mlovett
oh lovely. sign me right up.

To some, the term bitch is a compliment. tongue.gif

in case you haven't heard
leeza
I have to say though, it really does get my goat that people who obviously frequently use, enjoy, and benefit from using the site can't see their way to paying what is really a ridiculously cheap amount of money in return for all they receive from the site.

I'm just sayin'...
veronicavonn
10€ for... a year? Or what?
How long is the "subscription" that you are paying for.

I do not see it mentioned on the "TT Supporters" page.

You'd be surprised at what a friendly, positive and supportive environment the ladies club is. There are loads of things I discuss in there that aren't even necessarily ladies only that I wouldn't in the public forum simply because the types of responses you will get.

Okay ER... let me get my first German paycheck (I start in November!). wink.gif

The form for a supporters' subscription looks like this:

Thank you Gen.

Mostly they're not so much great debates, as mass debates.

I see.

Still waiting for the autographed photo EB promised. Last I checked there was a two year wait list. then again the porn art links are wonderful.

I wish you'd join just so you'd come to the Ladies Club and weigh in on our "What do you find sexy?" thread. I have a feeling you'd have A LOT to offer!
llees
I keep meaning to, and eventually I will.

But it would be much faster if I could slip my €10 into Editor Bob's garter.
Gen
Have you asked if he takes cash?
llees
No. I'd only end up being discussed in the "weird unsolicited PMs" thread and, you know, my reputation might suffer.
bluedave
Peronally I would revokel any supporter subscription for whomever lurks invisible rather than supporting the board and showing yourself to be here.
llees
They might be gaining valuable information about divorce lawyers or swingers' clubs and not want others to know what they're doing. I think it's a legitimate board function, and they still show up on page views and such like.
