Justin_Bkk Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 With Premium Membership at 50 US dollars a year now. Its not so cheap. What do you actually get for your money? Is it really worth the cost? I would like your opinion, premium and standard members. What did happen to the lifetime memberships? Any plans to offer them again? Peace. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since when we have this 1 years membership replace the lifetime one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyotokoala Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Yes.. You were lucky, obviously customer service is non existent.. A click of the button to re-pay the owner :shock: I run a website so not really getting the message.. I think it's a "nice" way of saying no :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyoiy Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Premium members get: - Unimited messages - 20 pages testimonials storage (which is not enough for long term member like me anyway) - 36 pictures on your profile - Who has viewed u - Who have added u to their favourite and/or friend list - You get authorise to approve friend request - You can see who sent you virtual kiss - More options on your setting page. Like Notification Settings (PM,Testi, Journal's comments, Favourite, B-day, Virtual Kiss alerts). Actually I dont remember what standard member have on setting page now. It been too long. what else? Actually, I paid coz 2 reasons, it was cheap for USD50 and I wanna pay for TF too cos its a site I use everyday. @KK : Well, I dont need much customer service thing. I think it was very cheap for USD50 so I never hope that Admin will sit and respond to all members' messages all day 24/7. But well, I never take thing as a business just because I'm a premium member, I always thanks previous site owner that he made TF site (I understand that he's a founder too so correct me if Im wrong). No comment about current Admin/Site's owner ( I know he's the same person). I haven't had any problem that make me have to contact him yet.

garlic Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 if you can't afford $50usd for this site you don't belong here...you need to be looking for another job or a second job... best of luck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stramash Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 The only way I could see the yearly premium membership being worthwhile is if the current benefits of free membership were downgraded from their present status. Of course, we forget that there are many 'hidden' members who rarely foray into the forums and do use the site primarily as a dating/contact site. What I can be sure of at the moment is that Rob will give answers when he sees the forum and will let everyone know any reasoning behind it and also any future changes.

Justin_Bkk Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Thanks for great replies so far, interesting topic. If TF still had the 50 dollar lifetime membership I would sign up. But 50 dollars a year! For what you actually get extra (none of which i really need), I don;t think I will sign up at these current prices. I don't know anything about the current owner/admin on TF, but I would be interested to know if they ever plan to offer the lifetime membership again.

I was thinking like why someone would bother asking if its worth before paying just USD50... it's just nothing, but I understand more when I read his post asking when lifetime premium will be available again and that's why I know that lifetime one is no longer avaiable. USD50 a year isn't expensive, just one dollar a week but it effect my attitude. Maybe because I know how much it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin_Bkk Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Garlic - It wasn't about if we could afford $50usd. The topic is asking members if they think that the premium membership is worth the money for the extra services that you get. Please note that not everyone here lives and works in the west. 50 USD can be quite a lot of money for some members. Peace :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babyoiy Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 i have met the admin once in a TF meeting , he s a nice guy , the problem is not here , most of my friends who have used TF ranked the website at the bottom in term of its dating services. Ah yes, I forgot TF is a dating site... @Justin_BKK: Maybe you buy one month membership and enjoy the show urself would be easier and real efficient.

Maybi Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 humm, i am sure the site has enough impressions every month to pay the hosting with the ADs. 3 messages day are more than enough for a woman. I guess men need more to spam the girls... The amusing part of the site is the forum, reading silly posts is a great time killer. If all the stupid users were gone it would become rather boring. Most of those who are active on the forums seems to be here more for the sake of a community than dating so if this would become a dayting pay site i am sure the tone will change as most of the users will be gone. It will be just the same as all the other pages. 70% guys, 10% pro camgirls and hookers. 10% desparate woman i would not pay a cent just to read the spam PMs you get here from the guys. I would contribute however if i knew that this was some cool nice, small private community strugling to pay the monthy hosting with the little money some users donate. This however is a page full of google ads and 53 thousand registered users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beej Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 i have met the admin once in a TF meeting , he s a nice guy , the problem is not here , most of my friends who have used TF ranked the website at the bottom in term of its dating services.I don't know how to translate the French phrase (trops de racaille) on the website , scammers phyicos etc etc all that simply because the website gives free members the possibility of messaging. TF has a good other features (forums and events) albiet Facebook is starting to take a Lead in that aspect. the only solution for TF to survive is to become a fully paid website , increasing the membership fee will eliminate those unneeded members from the websites , and will gives better services to those who use it . Great idea, why don't we make the phycos and unneeded members pay. Works fine as a website as far as I can see, I have a hot girlfriend, and many TF friends and I've not paid a penny.

Maybi Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I just found it very stupid why discriminating those paid members , and what s the advantages of the websites to let those free users message ??? And i found it very strange why a user with just 3 forum posts finds it very stupid to discriminate those paid membersand does not see the advantages of the websites to let those free users message ???

Because a lot of the paid members use the site for 'dating' purposes, and there are also a lot of female members coming from the same idea. But the majority of free members tend to use it for the forums and the community so dont really need the xtra messages, or to see who has viewed their profiles or sent them virtual kisses. At the end of the day, the heart of the site is the forum page and a lot of the people who use that are ordinary members. If you are looking for a tour guide come shag then pay for the privelige of finding her, but if you are just here for the craic then enjoy the free memberships...

Maybi Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 i dont get the part where a payment system would separate the good guys from the psycho guys, or do you assume that only good men would buy a premium account to use the "dating" services?

babyoiy Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I guess you never opened an inbox of female member profile ,if you happened do so , you will surprised by the huge emails coming from all sort of pyscho guys ,for those who use the forums or the journals or participate in the events they can surely continue to do so regardless of their membership statues.the essence of the discussion is that buying membership on TF is certainly not worth it and has no advantages , since the second class and first class users are treated on the same way And u did have a chance to? Your happened to see inbox of your female friend's or your gf's? or should I call Multiple Profile alert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you paid your money and didn't get your cock wet and now your crying like a baby because all the people that didn't pay the measly few bucks got some action. Pick your toys up and realize that a few bucks won't make you any cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
