Yes, the very annoying PayPal issue has been eliminated Superman

Good for you, good for us and good that Paypal is losing clients, what a joke of a company they have become.

Using PayPal is a very expensive way to do business, given how easy they make it for scammers to steal from businesses.  I am pleased to be able to get away from that.  And the worst part is, it can only be that this happens with their knowledge and consent, because no matter how much evidence and proof you give them, what patterns you show a scammer to have in scamming the business, what your policy is, 99% of the time they will side with the scammer and allow it.

There are very, very few such individuals we have encountered, but those few we have encountered have cost us untold amounts of money each year, and that is both because of the scam of having the product refunded habitually, as well as the fact that these individuals then turn around and post the programs on pirate sites for everyone else to access for free.

So we are moving away from PayPal, and towards a new payment gateway that will allow us to stop the scams PayPal allows and encourages with their behavior.  We may have PayPal as an option to pay with in the future, but we will not be using PayPal to collect the funds anymore, so scammers will have a much harder time from here on out.

Congrats on the impending store release as well. I know full well how hard this kind of thing is, believe me. I know it's a massive pain in the ass. It's insane the amount of crap that goes wrong during such things...

I saw your post about a possible release of DMSI for Oct/Nov now. I have to admit, seeing it constantly pushed back for "reasons" is frustrating beyond words. Given the history of it constantly being pushed back, even that Oct/Nov figure is very anxiety-inducing. You again mentioned the "need to keep the business going" thing, but yet I've tabled at least twice the idea of us paying full price to simply just have it finished once and for all. So I thought I'd bring that up again, given that UMS is finally being closed out now.

Trust me, it's BEYOND worth it to finally have it settled once and for all without seemingly endless pushbacks of it's release. I'm sure I speak for many others who are so fatigued with this. Let's just wrap it up, even if it requires another purchase to "grease the wheels" so it's finally done. Completely fine with this. To me, there's only one program that is more important to me as you know, that one is a ways off. Not counting ME of course lol, still eager to hear reports of that.

Shannon, I'm just trying to get DMSI done, AND give you another obvious winner for you to make that sweet $$$ off of. Since I've gone to the OF well twice and helped spark OF V2 and OF V3, I can't go back to the OF well AGAIN a 3rd time so fast, LMAO. I can't think of another sub than DMSI that can bring you in a good chunk of money, and it would also finally get it complete which is what so many of us are dying for once and for all. Please take this to heart.

All the best, my friend. Hope your birthday was good, and you had a boss steak.

Thanks for the input.  I actually had a great birthday, GF pulled one out of the hat for sure.  I didn't have steak, though, I had snow crab, fish, shrimp and scallops.  My other loves.  Smile

There's no way I can start working on DMSI sooner than mid September no matter what I do.  I have to finish the store this month, get it going, get bugs worked out and so forth, and what I am working on right now in the background in the little spare time I have is an experimental prototype that will be useful for building DMSI.  This prototype is not intended for sale - it's developing an experimental technology and an experimental approach to solving something that's been challenging me for a long time.  I chose to work on this while the store was taking up most of my time because the result is going to be a more advanced skeleton script, and on top of that because the side effect is that if I can make this work the way I want it to, I should be able to translate that into useful for improving DMSI.

I guess when you look at it that way, I am working on DMSI.  Just not directly.

What comes out of this research and development experimental program may become 5.8G, also.  

I'm doing what I can, but the situation is really much like having my arm pinned behind my back right now.  The new store is going to free me up a lot and the end of dev on UMSv2 is going to free me up a lot also.

I would pay full price as well, Since I am in the process of starting a Dating/Attraction business right now & about to be in Colombia where there is an abundance of beautiful woman, I wouldn't mind the extra boost from DMSI. Not that I feel like I can't achieve success where I am currently, but I feel like this next DMSI is going to be something really special. I think it would help me with my business, building it faster.

DIdn't realize it was your birthday, Happy Belated Birthday !!!

Thank you for the birthday wishes.  Smile I'm doing what I can in all directions.

DMSI 3.4 is going to be designed to work in two ways.  One should be long term/permanent effect, and one will fade without use.  No matter what I do, you're never going to project the aura without being constantly instructed to do so.  That is just the way things work.

I’m willing to pay the full price again if that helps. Maybe you can publish it ASAP for the people willing to pay the full price, and make the free upgrade a couple of months later so you don’t break your promise.

That is an idea I will consider.  Thank you.

Happy birthday Shannon, glad to hear things are a bit more chipper in your life.

But fark, been off this forum for a while and log on thinking you know what I'ma buy UMS now only to find it's likely going to jump up in price massively.

Such is life i guess, I'll have to do this subscription business until UMS helps me bank enough to buy the damn thing., Also subscription? when I mentioned this as an Idea to help you out with cashflow in between subs Shannon you growled at me asking saying something like 'don't you think we would have done that already if we thought that was a good idea?'.

Thank you for the birthday wishes!  

I believe said we would have done subscriptions if it was POSSIBLE.  At that time, it was for various reasons not yet possible.  I liked the idea, but was very frustrated that I could not use it.  I had the idea before that, and checked it out, which is how I knew it wasn't yet possible.  No growling intended.  Smile

The store will open with current prices in place, and they will be in place for 1 day.  After that, it will go up.  So you still have  chance to get the current price on UMSv2.

We have most of the issues worked out I think, a couple more to address  we seem to currently be missing a few programs in 5.75.xG and figuring out how to make it possible to get everyone's account re-activated.  Aside from that we appear to have everything else working as desired.  Store should open sometime tomorrow (19th) if things go my way.  It will be ASAP regardless.

Belated birthday greetings @Shannon and all the best for this next phase of IML. May the subscriptions keep the wolf from the door and allow you to grow IML....


Now about that ......affiliate program......You can of course set the condition that an affiliate's commissions are withheld for a certain period, and/or choose affiliates from an 'inner circle' who are more closely associated with SubShop/Talk... like our brethren right here on the forum.


RE: Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5 - ncbeareatingman - 08-18-2021

So after tomorrow OFv3 will be what, 258$ Bucks?

Thank you.

Affiliates would need to be much more closely monitored than just that.  But I'll bring up affiliates in the next staff meeting.  So far the last few times it has come up, there were a lot of good reasons not to have an affiliate program.  We'll see if that has changed, and if there is a way to implement it if it has.

We have a few issues that have predictably popped up at the last moment that I don't yet know how to fix, like... the last five program I created being nowhere in the product database... and I have to learn how to fix that if that task turns out to be mine to handle.  So tomorrow is the goal, but the reality may not be opening tomorrow.

Doing the best we can as fast as we can though.

@Shannon

After the store, UMS and DMSi, would you consider making a Self Worth/ Deservedness sub?
