    Doesnt matter. they are the consumer and they have a right to ask those questions, and regardless of whether it could have been answered in a pm, a lot of us prefer it be answered in public. It keeps us informed without 1000 people having to pm as opposed to one speaking out in public.

    blah, blah, blah.

    We split ONE set a month, the Girl of the Month. We show at least 8 full sets a week + video in HD or HQ.

    Why did you feel the need to bring what seems like a personal message into a public forum? It sounds like a pathetic whine to embarrass me? If you had a question you could easily have emailed me?

    Business is business, we don't do it to lose money but we do believe in producing excellent value for money, alongside a product that we're proud of. There is no other transsexual website that offers the value for money that we do.

    Many members are grandfathered in at the cheaper rate, some even at $19.99 a month - their cost will NEVER rise.

    You can shove that "sounds like greed" comment up your arse also!

    I don't think he was trying to embarrass you, but one must understand that things do go up in price, like my ass...too bad the 99 cent store doesn't sell porn huh?

    For me it's very simple, the bigger the archive and the most time the site updates the more it can charge so I see no problem shemaleyum increasing their membership.

    Well, free market. He doesn't really have to explain anything but then a customer always has the chance to cancel their membership. The OP did come off a little bit rude, and that probably crawled up Senachi's bad side. Although, I also don't see anything wrong with asking about the price increase on a public forum (just could have done without some of the snide comments).

    Believe me, I do. Seanchai's right; the price of other factors that contribute to the site is increasing. So I really can't fault him.


    William Escalade is no more. He's done his service to the site.

    What's the big deal?

    Yum has every right to raise its prices; it's called the cost of doing business.

    I can imagine Seanchai is busy enough with all his ventures and he's heard enough complaints about price increases already.

    ARMANIXXX - You stop payin those inflated fee's and trust me, they'll drop back down in a hurry........
    Maybe true, but if the SMY sites continue to flourish, the increase is justified. THAT, is the free market at work!

    Hmmm 35 a month does not sound too bad really. Look at a more mainstream site like Scoreland. 30 a month. Updates every day with 1 maybe 2 photosets. That is about 8 or so a week.

    Shemale Yum updates weekly, with about 8 or so updates so equal. Not every score update is video nor do most of the photosets come with video. Shemale yum tends to have video as well as photo with the update.

    So . . . sounds good to me, has been really cheap for a long time, but prices are going up all over man.

    Plus if you are a cheap bastard you could join one of the grooby sites that has the alternate join Shemale yum for discounted price as a bonus.
