thanks fellas for the suggestions! although i noticed a few of them weren't available in the girl store so i am guessing those women are some of the originals that only have access when you reach one of those platinum levels.... bummer

Yeh, they seem to be balancing it as they go on, curvy girl friday seemed to be a thing for a while.

@Z22 My gut feeling tells me I'm also at a lower rate that that - I may try check and try validate that.
Yeah my preference also lies with the slim woman and the curvy types so seem more common although last week seems to have been on the slimmer side because I got them all :-)

@Scuderia, i think it was said you need to buy ~215 cards a year to break even. For me i think i have a lower rate now because the curvy body types are more common now, i prefer slim women. I do think the variety is a good thing though.

@TheEmu Apologies if I ask something that had already been explained I did look - clearly not hard enough and didn't find anything. Thanks for the answer.

@Z22 Exactly that was my "food for thought "The less cards we buy the worse the deal becomes" so we need to determine if we are going to buy enough cards over the course of the year for it to be worth it.

I would expect the majority of members who would subscribe to be a triple diamond - that's clearly the customers you what to ensure you keep for life and thus the reverse psychology may work here, and that's once you have subscribed you will then buy enough cards for it to be worth it - simular the Dollar Auction - and buying a lot of cards is nothing uncommon for a triple diamond member, this just kind of ensure that we keep doing that.

And I'm fine with that! Storage capacity is more of a looming issue that I'm going to have to address in the near future anyway.

@Scuderia

I have read many posts asking for a subscription to be added, istripper used to be subscription only.

From the looks of the members list the vast majority of users that have thusfar subscribed are tripple diamond users (cba to check individual card counts to see if they have full collections) but it looks like that with the discount the week on week revenue totem will make will now be less that it was without the subscription. For members that buy every card this is a no brainer even if it works out as $1 a year less regardless of when the additional discount is applied, for people like ourselves that pick and choose, the less cards we buy the worse the deal becomes.

Great - another card I can't get because I don't gamble. I guess you don't like my money.

@Scuderia - as has been explained a few times already discounts do not add (consider the effect of three 50% discounts) they are multiplicative after taking each from 100%. The result this time is that 45% combined with 20% is that a normal card is reduced to 11 credits.

Ok so doing some maths and as a triple diamond member I already get 45% off so a new normal card is 25 credits less my 45% = 13.75.
So where does the 20% discount get applied ? is it my 45% plus 20% = 65% which should then effectively make the cost for new cards 8.75 Credits
OR does if get applied to my already discounted price of 13.75 less 20% equals 11 credits
Depending how you do the maths there is a big difference between 8.75 and 11 credits per card

And then depending how may card you purchase in a year the former (8.75 credits per card) may be economically benificial while the latter (11 credits per card ) may not ?

Clearly there is the drive to have a subscription revenue model as we have all seen with so may other industries and providers, but does this offer real value for the subscription been paid?

Here Belka Sexy legs

Belka one boob out

Belka Sexy panties.

Pay a little more for quality, me it does not shock me. I can understand that totem want to make money.

"A business is like a hot air balloon ... " 😂

Thanks @Number6 , It actually helps ***** the boring hours when I’m not on the road. On the road there are other drivers just about as crazy as I am, adverse weather and crappy roads to contend with. And don’t forget that there is Bullwinkle, Bambi and the 3 bears. Well maybe not the bears this time of year.

And I had you pegged more as whale (both in size and buying habits) than as a trained seal, but then I remembered reading the reprimand that you wrote to another user.

Arf! Arf! Arf! Arf! Arf! Arf! Arf! Arf!

Ah! a seal....

You've not met my brother then?😊

Why do you judge people that don't agree with you.

Why not?

It probably helps ***** some of lonely, boring hours when she's on the road.😟

Especially when they bite!!😊

... and the trained seals

Sorry @Chicky

As one of the trained seals😊 I currently buy every card as they come out so it seemed a no brainer for me.

Also I wanted the Sky Blue SEC card so the Joker didn't last long.

Why do you judge people that don't agree with you.

I am a collector and have all the cards so far so I like the Premium Member ship.

Well I am not a collector, nor do I have all of the cards. All of that is irrelevant since Totem has introduced their version of premium membership. At the moment it seems to be a good thing, but later I can see a lot of evil emanating from this thing. Whatever, what’s done is done and everyone will have to deal with any consequences arising.

Premium memberships, like everything that Totem does, has the approval of the silent majority in addition to that of Totem’s minions, the Apologist and the trained seals

At least we still have the option to not buy into it if we choose not to, unlike some of the other things that have been imposed upon the users

Extra 20% off if you buy in the first 10 days of new casd release.

The "premium customer service" does not indicate you are getting any extra or new services. Only that you will receive a "priority response". Hard to quantify what that is, as it is not defined in the promo. All customers should get a timely response to a service problem. Indicating anything different is foolish.

I am a collector and have all the cards so far so I like the Premium Member ship.
I don't mind at all getting my cards for 11 credits. If I did not like it I would not buy
it and for sure not ***** about it.
I'm sure almost everybody has a credit card, if you have bad credit you get a low
limit and a high rate, if you have good credit you get a high limit with a low rate.
That is what business is all about.

Does anyone Gamble at the Casino's

What LEVEL player Card do you Have..
You Know you PAID for that Card Right...
And each New Level Card Has Perks, including a Premium Member Line for most everything...
Premium Drink service, Premium Customer Service Line, Premium Dine Line...

Most Any Service Oriented Business these days, offer Some sort of Paid Premium service..

How about your Road Side assistance?
Top Level now Offers 15 minute or Less Premium road side assistance..
If you have the Basic, you will wait 1 to 2 hours...

No, didn't get the picture in the PM, which is not surprising with this software. Sending PM pictures has been buggy for years.

And there is no 10 down on pg 7, in this thread anyway. And looking at pg 6 10 down is very surprising to me. Thats the leader of the resistance? I would have never believed it!

He looked prettier packing the protest sign too.

@pantalone - You are correct, though I was thinking more of companies like Redhat, Debian, Suse and other Linux distributors plus others with different products but the same business model.

some that only charge for "servicing" (called support) and provide their nominal product at zero cost.

...and there are some that mine data about our dirty little online habits and sell it to advertisers, including (!) politicians. At least we have no evidence that Totem does that! And, so long as they don't use me as "product" to boost their revenues, I don't care if they offer a whole range of optional extras.

Totem are the good guys. They tell us what they are selling and we have the option to buy or not.

A great many software companies charge extra for customer service

Indeed - there are even some that only charge for "servicing" (called support) and provide their nominal product at zero cost.

I can't believe any business would offer a premium customer service option for extra cost. All customer service should be the same (and excellent) for everyone.

A great many software companies charge extra for customer service. That's part of their pricing model. TANSTAFL (There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.) Some companies build customer service in as part of the purchase price. Some don't. Some companies even have alternative levels of support. If I never will need customer service, why should I pay for it? One piece of software I use, ERwin, charges about $780 per year and my client pays it because I need it. Microsoft once charged me $500 for a single support call. To this day, I resent that but I paid it.

It's working - thank you very much!

@CrackCrazy - I see "superior customer service" offered very often by other businesses. For example "priority check-in" and "priority security lines" at airports, also priority response for servicing mechanical, electrical or software problems. I do not like or approve of these things, but they are very common.

I can't believe any business would offer a premium customer service option for extra cost. All customer service should be the same (and excellent) for everyone. I should say in the past that I always found the customer service to be excellent. Maybe now it will be downgraded for those not wanting to go "premium"? A really bad decision to tie any aspect of customer service to paying an additional cost.

How would you define important problems?

It could be anything... from ***** to poor purchase decisions... software errors to accidental deletions. Trying to get people to pay for preferential service is not the best way to fairly treat your customers. This on top of all that gambling, special cards media options to VR only and change of website... tends to suggest that the company is changing, and looking at the response in the forums (not the silent majority), I'd say not for the better.

@njarnb - For some of us the cost of going premium is MINUS 40 euro per year - we will actually pay less than what we currently pay. Furthermore, in order to continue to receive exactly the same product as they were getting last week NOBODY has to pay a single cent more than they used to. Why do you ***** about having an extra option.

He is not the 'leader of the resistance'. Or is he?

I'll be debating on getting this Premium promotion until Thursday, even though i'm not a every card collector the first week of this offer does give us a Joker coupon.

That would give me a clear lane to have the Ginebra card, and after that i'm pretty much out i wouldn't have to play anymore gambling games for the foreseeable future, after looking at the upcoming girls (even ones i like) i don't see myself having to deal with the games.

The premium is 59$ a year with reduce prices (and other advantages). That I'm is just that we still have too buy an extra 49$ to credit account right after (or before). Can't pay a year suscription price of 500 credit plus extra 10$ without at least some credits in it (amount still to be determined) this just what i'm saying here...

... and if there are 1000 problems in the priority queue? This will mean that 'priority' is dealt with first and everyone else second. Priority should mean the most important problems first, not the amount you pay.

You don't put out the fires in the first class section before you address the rest of the plane! ;)

How would you define important problems? Bug reports? those wouldn't have priority for an individual. Broken software? That is almost always on the client side unless it is a beta. There is a very little they can do if you have deleted registry files or have messed with .exe. You also have to remember that many pms come from America, during overnight hours in Paris...so they can easily be ordered by premium, then by time received, then processed the next morning.

I appreciate this premium offer even if it cost me 59€ the year. The 20% promotion over 10 days is a good idea ( ***** forever ) and the 4K resolution is just perfect. That's not how i'll be able to stop istripper 😄.
I ***** your games of chance and i stop it 😠 ...Here, i know why i pay 👍.
Little Candy ...Many models are very beautiful ❤️💜💛💙💚💙💛💜❤️. Good job.
Thank you Totem 👌😉

@shodan084
Customers problems shall be looked at still by the team, even if you aren't Premium. But, as in a train or a plane with first class ticket, you have some privileges in addition because you pay for that.
Everyone remains respected and treated equally on the forum, the rules don't change. We have already some specific marks for the Wall of Fame of the month, and the ones who get these marks are treated equally.

Premium...

...Priority response from the customer service...

Treated as a second class citizen by customer services. If you haven't paid enough your problems won't be looked at...

Highlighted profile...

What happened to that "everyone must be respected and treated equally on the forums" spiel that was rolled out? Does this not identify people who have and have not invested money in advance? I find this deeply worrying...

I have a 4k HDR curved monitor , but running 3k cc+ model - ( excellent quality in 3D )

Anyone trying 4k model - 4k HDR curved monitor , what is the quality ?

There is no review ????? - how good it is , not on a 4k flatpanel -

Ok After more than 2 year finally another Release of the iStripper PlaylistManager

Version 2.12.0 is now available for Download

Main reason is the new iStripper Version 1.2.238 which makes some changes to the models.lst structure. The previous Version 2.11.7 does not work with these changes.

But there are also 2 new features:

New Option-Menu entry 'Include Playable Transitions'
This new entry allows you to disable the playable transitions
Some users were annoyed by the little clips with the girl waiting or trying to get your attention being included in the playlists. Default is still that these clips are included just like before.

Changed Advanced Option 'Only Enabled shows'
I changed the option to include only VG Favorites (an attribute that doesn't exist in iStripper) to an option to include only shows that are enabled in iStripper
This way the option is still useful

Migration Menu removed
Version 2.11.7 had another menu that offered a function that was useful when migrating from VirtuaGirl to iStripper. Since this function isn't needed anymore it was remove

Technical Update to Java 8
I updated to Java 8 Compiler with this release.

To get the new version you can go to this website: http://www.kp3d.com/vgmanager.html . There you can download either the full version or just the jar file for those who already have Version 2.11.7.

Enjoy!

@Romla
To do that, you must use the function [linkset]yXXXX[/linkset] where "y" is the type of collection (a, b, c, e, f or d) and "XXXX" the number of the card you want to link.

@d00bies and @pointZero, I'm absolutely with you. Because of this reason, Totem will never ever be willing to give us a way to buy those Joker Cards. It's sad, but it's so.
Money 💰 unforunately makes greedy. 😕

Totem should make themselves clear, that we don't speak about simple additions, we speak about complete shows.

A solution could be, after 6 or 12 months, for excample, Totem should offer the cards all members. The cards could be a little bit cheaper, like other special cards, for example Estonicas - Gotham Sexy.

Look at the number.
Example i27271259
That is member number 27,271,259
yes the 27 millionth, 2 hundred and 71 thousandth, 259th member.

It doesn't mean there are over 27 million ACTIVE members, but since starting VGHD, over 27 million Members have used or still use the product.

If only 10% of them are still active, that is still 2.7 million members

Over 27 million signups, that's HUGE !
It also includes free signups. People who signed up and are/ were happy with only the previews.
Active members with purchases is way lower than 10%, perhaps as low as 1%.

Maybe less than that. I know Virtuagirl was around since 1998 I think and that was doing the hayday of dial up and the internet boom.

I saw some members posting card pictures which are linking directly to the card in the store after clicking on them. I tried to find on the forum how to do that, but had no luck so far. Can someone help me with this? Thanks.
