Monthly Update - April 2025
🕑 Added 2025-04-09 17:01:25 +0000 UTCThis update will be mostly an extension of last month one, as it was pretty much lose and vague. In this one i'll detail more in the changes that the support system has undergo.
Mentions:
I'm surprised that even after the change we didn't lose much people. Let's hope we get back to the usual sooner than later. As always, many thanks for stay despite the issues.
Changes in Detail
Is no wonder that the prices raised, mostly due the Yen getting more devaluated over time. In compensation i enhanced some of the benefits.
- Tier 0: This one actually got cheaper, from 1.30 to 1 USD (200 to 150 JPY) to emphatize the support meaning of it. People in this tier still gets monthly mentions.
- Tier 1: Price rised from 3.05 USD to 5 USD (500 JPY to 750 JPY) and commissions discount increased from 5% to 10%. There won't be more Monthly packs, instead pics are published directly, so this Tier is utterly for full resolution and clean images without the new watermark.
- Tier 2: Price rised from 7 USD to 10 USD (1000 JPY to 1500 JPY) and commissions discount increased from 10% to 20%. The intent is to retake the poll events to add lost value to this tier.
- Tier 3: Price rised from 11 USD to 15 USD (1500 JPY to 2250 JPY) and commissions discount increased from 20% to 30%. Along the Behind Scenes material, Raffles are planned to return for next month once more people migrates to the new tier. Timelapses are pending to edit to add value to the behind scenes.
Migration:
April: New Post will be posted in the new tiers. Old ones will stay untouched for now.
May: Old Post will be moved to the new tiers.
June: The old tiers will be deleted, leaving only the new ones.
Keep in mind that i had to delet the Old Tier 3 due a conflict with the New Tier 2, apologies for that. Also i deleted Old Tier 0 as no one was subscribed there.
New Sites:
In case of future issues with Fanbox, i took the measure of open new support sites as alternatives. They work as follows:
- Patreon: Should work pretty much the same as Fanbox, but with USD instead of JPY. Also still supports PayPal for new accounts, unlike Fanbox from some time ago which new accounts can only use Cards. Also it has Discord integration, granting access to archive and event channels in my server, unlike Fanbox which requires manual verification.
- SubscribeStar Adult: This one requires a subscription to even follow the account, uses USD and only works with Cards, but is overall less strict. Use it if you can use Cards. Also counts with Discord integration. ADVICE: To date of this post, my account is still in verification, won't be visible till is approved, but i can still prepare post there.
- KoFi: This one is tricky. I can't post NSFW there, only thumbnails, news and the few SFW paywalls. Tho has Discord Integration, so you can use it to get access to the archive and events channels, also has PayPal support. Use only if there's no other option or if you want to give a bigger tip.
Plans Ahead
Right now Commissions are closed, as i have to basically rework the whole branding of the site, As well rethink some pricing things, like NSFW Fees and Percentages. In the meantime, i arranged enough to make posting and events funtional. For May i should have everything working again. Also the idea is to continue the Compensations and Start the next Poll for this month, I'll dedicate a post for both later.
By the way, I modified my LinkTree as i mentioned before while figuring how to use Cardd. As well i changed that Doc File i used as a queue for a Trello, so the logistic should get a bit more dynamic.
For now, i wish you progress and Luck, and a Happy Easter š°š
