Wszystko o iStripper

I also agree that disabling customers from using Mastercard entirely would be a bad idea. It would ***** loyal customers who have been using Mastercard to purchase from Totem for possiblly years. There are also a lot of customers who would not be willing to change banks or open a card with a new bank just for use with iStripper since it would be a pretty involving process. There are also those customers that this may not even be an option for for one reason or another, including, but not limited to location, living, personal, or financial constraints of one kind or another. Another problem is that other card companies are VERY likely to follow.
I wonder though, if it might be possible for them to get around this by having their users pay through ePoch or Paypal? Thus payments would go to ePoch or Paypal and not to Totem directly I suppose? Then again, ePoch or Paypal may eventually have to follow the same rules?
Discord is a good option but does have some constraints. An example is that certain topics would have to be pinned, such as user created content such as custom fullscreens. The other problem with Discord, is that users may need to create a second account for adult content. I'm not sure if it is possible for anyone on your friends list to currently see what channels you are using but it could become a thing in the future, so I would also advise using a second account for this just in case.
I was also wondering about having the forums hosted on an official fan forum that isn't related or run directly by Totem, but rather by the community as a free forum? Maybe the iStripper Workshop could host it? There are a lot of pretty official fan forums for various video games out there, and they are quite often more popular than the forums on the official page/website. Of course some kind of agreement should probably be made to prevent people from posting anything illegal or pirating content, esp. iStripper content, but I'm sure something could be worked out.
The downside though, is that either way, we are probably losing use of some of the forums that people earned by purchasing cards. That being said, I very rarely even post in those forums since they are cut off from most of the community anyway.
Maybe a community tab could be added to iStripper or quick access to fan created forums/Discord channels? A disclaimer could be added to this tab, that expresses that these are not a part of or run by Totem.
