@jesuisunlapin i think making the site to where it only caters to an audience who can afford to use it is going to cut out alot of the users poly's descision gained them

Thank you for all suggestions! It’s important for us to keep the website design esthetic without trash ads. We just need your patience to test many options and find some way to cover the costs

@jesuisunlapin What you say is true sweetie, it must be very expensive, and many places do charge. Many haven't the funds, but skip that starbucks coffee, don't see that over priced movie, skip at makeup item, it is a matter of deciding how you want to spend your money on. All of us pay an internet fee to run our computers anyway, we all manage that, a few bucks a month is worth it too, to keep a site going. If you own a computer or phones, i-pads you are not destitute in the first place. I can see both sides too.

I do believe there are alternatives to a mandatory subscription fee. We have seen Wikipedia request donations and have success. I know that Archive of Our Own also does something similar and has opportunities for people to donate their time as well - for things such as ensuring tags are used correctly by members and dealing with abuse of the website.
I think, as has been previously suggested, it would be good to have one-time payments for certain perks eg. perhaps paying to enter URSTYLE-led (not group-led) contests, maybe even URSTYLE merchandise.
I think it would be worth the time and effort of testing other methods before resorting to a membership fee which would likely result in a loss of members - especially considering that not everything is always working smoothly yet, and I suspect people would be unhappy to pay for something that is not always working properly.
I understand that it could be annoying, but URSTYLE is still a very new website and I think we need to make these allowances, at least for now. -
@sjlew ditto!

@studiopatco Of course the bank can block incomprehensible transactions to questionable resources and it is obvious. There's nothing strange about it. I have been telling everyone for a long time that you should have your own trust if you are a big business so that you don't get caught like you did with this project. Specialists from https://astra-trust.com/ helped me to create my own offshore, so now I am not worried about the safety of my own capital. And this is very important.
