Unable to subscribe and S&S

    Hi. I want to subscribe to Boards and have a creditcard (well, it's my boyfriend's but we both use it) but can't use PayPal currently (due to some scammer on eBay sending me an unsolicited amount of money for something I was selling via a card they had stolen- long story) as my account is frozen while PayPal investigate the other user.

    I want to get access to Sex and Sexuality but can't without subscribing.

    My questions-

    1) Is there anyway I can subscribe, using my Visa card, without going through PayPal?

    2) Can I get access to Sex and Sexuality some other way? I am (well) over 18 and should be able to prove I'm not a minor. Can Mods/Admin give access to non-subscribers in my situation? If they can, I promise to click on at least one ad on the Boards homepage per day. :D

    The only way to subscribe is via Paypal as far as I know. Contact one of the S&S moderators, Thaedydal, Talliesin, tSubh Dearg or gandalf (cat. mod, meow) and they might be able to help.

    PM user Ruggiebear. Think he helped someone somehow before.

    It's really, really not worth it.

    Subscribe by all means, but the option of large custom avatars should do more for your libido than the tales of geeks and their sex lives found in the S&S forum.

    I will give anyone access to that forum who can demonstrate to me that they're of a suitable age such that we're not going to end up in a tabloid with a silly headline. Users have been granted access without subscribing on that basis before by some mods I think.

    /ducks and covers before the deluge begins.

    That's fair. Might liven the place up a bit :)


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 10,501 Mod ✭✭✭✭ecksor


    There will only be a deluge if lots of people can easily prove their age.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 10,501 Mod ✭✭✭✭ecksor


    I will let you in if you promise not to send that.

    I have pubes.

    If I send you a MMS of them, will you let me in?

    Christ, you really don't want people to read about the freaky shit you get up too!

    Everyone subscribe, its worth it just to read how monkeyfuge got himself out of a sticky situation with a welsh transvestite.

    I know that was just you with some saran wrap putting on a Welsh accent that you probably learned from Anti.

    I'm starting to understand where the Paranormal forum gets its name from, not to mention the mentality behind some of its members...

    Spankeh will require advance notice before 6th visits his sister so that Spankeh can run as far away as he can possibly can away from THAT YOKE UP THERE ^^^^^^^^^

    Ok, I posted "If anyone can demonstrate to me" and yet now people are pestering the S&S mods who probably have enough to be doing already.

    Read what I wrote before you go PMing people for access.

    Also, before you PM me, ask yourself "Will this convince a very sceptical person, or will I just make him cranky by timewasting?" PMs of the form "I'm 18, honest. No really" won't be pleasing. Something along the lines of "Yeah, remember the time you met me in a pub and I had a long grey beard?" is the sort of thing I'm getting at. On the other hand, any ingenius Internet based schemes will be read with great interest.

    You could have something like the series of questions used at the beginning of the original Leisure Suit Larry game to determine if a person was old enough.

    I'll let you in on a secret Spankeh ... thats not really me ;)

    Yes it is, I've met you in Real Life and I have a photogenic memory.

    Though, thankfully, you weren't wearing the above attire.

    Cheeky ****ers !

    That pic bears a striking resemblance to Captain Chaos in the cannonball run.









    Can someone please make it go away?
