If you want to make the most of around 76 updates for only $60 (or less for packages) you only have until the end of this month!! 21 days!!!!!
I am really sorry to announce that from the 1st January 2015, all mostwam 6 month memberships will no longer be available for purchase.
All regular updates will continue for members who have joined before that date, so none of you will have to worry about not getting the regular updates that you have paid for.
We are toying with the idea of having one month memberships with only four updates at any time in the members sections, but, for now the plan is to switch to download stores only.
I would like to thank all of our regular re-joining members for their continuing support and apologize to you all for taking away the membership options.
Lisa, I assume the casual buyer (like me) will still be able to purchase sets as and when they want. Do you mean that a monthly membership will entitle the new member to download only any four sets in that month?
However, I would recommend against offering a membership with only four updates in the members area at a time. Should a member not care for the updates that are available at that moment, it could irritate them. It is hard to gain a customer, but sinfully easy to lose them.
Going the download store route allows those that are interested in your content to grab whatever they want without running the risk of feeling cheated.
I personally prefer the membership sites over a la carte downloading (save for a few select producers), but an extremely limited members area wouldn't quite work for me. (I offer this as a perspective, not as a demand or request for a different plan.)
Please excuse the unsolicited advice. I try to help!
People who join using a stolen card, download the entire contents of the members area, then upload it for free, and those who download and enjoy the stolen media. Not to mention, someone who would join for a month, and download everything, then come back years later and do the same.
In an ideal, honest world, I would love to allow access to all my media with a membership, after all, we want it to be seen and enjoyed, but, we'd go out of business in a year.

No, they'd get 8. There would be 4 in the members area at any time, as a new one goes up, one drops off.
Just an idea though, we'll see how just downloads works for a while.
As someone who has been a member of your sites, on and off (mostly on) since 2005, I'm sad to see the memberships go, but I can't blame you if it winds up being bad business for you. Sad to hear that you've been having issues with people ripping you off.
On happier news, that Katy set is fantastic, and that last pic of her is one of the very best recent ones.
Love you, too
!
