A Question about PremiumFollow

Ok, this has been bugging me for a while.

Why doesn't Allakhazam support Paypal options for all its subscription times, at this point in time, I do not have a credit card, and I am trying to remain in tight control of my money.

While I am prepared to support the site by subscribing, I would only do so if I could pay using something else apart from a credit card.

The point I was trying to make was having Paypal options for shorter periods than 1 year...

Just get the year. You wind up paying less. Most likely you will forget that it is going to renew, and have the membership for a year or more anyway.

Plus it probably isnt econmonically feasable to have the paypal option for shorter periods of time.

It's because paypal doesn't have the infrastructure to allow us to set up an instant payment with a recurring renewal system using it like we do with the credit cards, so instead we have to have people fill out a form and I have to activate the account by hand after getting an e-mail from paypal. Thus, I try to discourage people from using paypal by insisting they can only do it for 1 year payments. Even with the few paypal accounts we get, and despite stating in bold letters on the signup page that it is not instant and may take up to a week to activate, I still get constant complaints from people who sign up through paypal late on a Friday night and don't get activated until Monday morning. (One person not long ago signed up late Friday night, sent three escalatingly nasty e-mails over the weekend complaining they hadn't been activated, and filed a complaint with paypal promptly Monday morning -- and then was insulted when I sent their payment back later that day, cancelled their account, and told them to use another site since like most people in America I don't always work over the weekends).

I'm not the impatient type, but I understand Allakhazam's perspective on the issue. Back to saving money for the year then, i'll have a credit card in 6 months >.>

There are exceptions to every rule. If you want to sign up through paypal for 3 months, go ahead. Don't use that form though. Instead go to your paypay account and send the payment to allakhazam@allakhazam.com and include your account name and registered e-mail address in the notes so I know what account to register. Also, if you want the GCW subscription, make sure you include your mailing address.

That is awesome. I have a great deal of respect for someone who puts respect over business.
