Furrygirl, I have been in this business since long before you could legally even think about it. "Business standpoint" is simple: 10 years ago anyone could get processing for anything at any time with little or no requirements no checking. People abused it, and over time, the restrictions on processing got tighter and tighter.

Right now, processing is damn tight (to the point where IMHO it artificially limits the total potential revenue in the industry right now).

The CC companies have set rules with the processors for what they can and cannot process.

Asking for that coverage to be exanded is going against the trend that has been going on for ten years, and is (IMHO) not very likely to have much success. More importantly, considering how little V&MC really thinks about our industry (we are a drop in the bucket for them), asking them for more open space is, IMHO, just a likely to get the opposite result, where some of the more "out there" but currently acceptable things that you site as examples get shut out too.

V&MC can do that in a blink without as much as an explanation.

What do you think the true revenue would be for these sites? Do you think there is 5000 signups a month @ $35 to be made here? Or is it more likely that the niche would attract a few hundred long term loyal members?

If the members are loyal like that, why not just accept money orders or something? Make 1 year memberships, and see how many members you can get.

I don't deny you the right to run the sites, but I understand and accept that V&MC has no interest in processing for them anymore. They have made a business decision. You may not like the decision, but there it is.

Now, on another subject, Furrygirl, I am very very personally insulted by some of the comments you have made about me here. You have spread lies, falsehoods, and made totally misleading statements about me. I look forward to a full and complete apology for them.

Good luck waiting for that. You've been nothing but a condescending misogynist prick to both myself and Trixie throughout both of these theads, but thanks for giving me a laugh.

I couldn't care less if you're older than me, and if harping on your age is the best you can do to prove your point and address all my questions, you're not worth talking to. I prefer to debate with intelligent people who have actual evidence to back up their arguments, but you can't even do that. *All* your arguments rest on hysteria and "everyone knows". If I wanted more of that line of debate, I'd go pick fights with creationists or people who protest abortion clinics.
