Datalounge snatched my money!
This has happened to me before, and I just ignored it, but what if I should want to quit the Datalounge?
I must have something set up so that Mediapolis automatically charges my Visa card $19.99 once a year for the privilege of posting here. So -- how do I get that to stop happening just in case I want to leave?
Not that I want to, mind you -- just sayin'. I'd just like to be in control.
TIA

Think about it, OP. When you die, your credit card account will be closed. Mediapolis can't charge a closed account...

This issue needs to be resolved through your Visa account. Log into your online Visa account and search around until you find the section that lists vendors with whom you’ve set up autopay. Turn off the auto payment to Mediopolis/Datalounge. Problem solved.

Click on account at the bottom of the watched thread list then go to subscriptions status and you can change or cancel it there

It's not like OP"s cats will be able to notify Mediopolisc of his recent owner's "accident."

It constantly amazes me that people join this site and don't check out all the buttons and see what they do, I have done that to everything since I was a kid.
I find the little bell in the upper right hand corner interesting.

It is a testbench page, a work in progress. Nothing to see there - yet.

Andy is a 100% top. Nothing goes in that hole. Exit only.

Are you in California? California's new law just went into effect that subscriptions can't automatically re-up without a positive OK ("express affirmative consent") from the payer at each renewal.

You should be happy OP you get to post here for $19.99 a year
While the rest of us have to pay. $1.99 a month that equals out to $23.88, what will you do with the $3.89 that you are saving?

Don’t contradict Muriel, R14. It IS a testbench page, a work in progress. Nothing to see there - yet despite it being around for well over a decade.

It seems appropriate that the DL website is frozen in time, like many of us eldergays.

I just noticed that my yearly charge went through this week. This is now my fourth year of paying. The only reason I started to pay as that the time restrictions to be able to post for free increased hugely, but I’m not sure if that was a one off thing.

Considering how many hours a day I spend on this fucking site, $19.99 a year is a bargain.

Since Ginny died and Julie took over billing, not a damn thing. Your heirs will still be paying for Datalounge in the year 2092.

I don't mind paying, but I've been put in "you are not allowed to post comments at this time" jail about seven or eight times since last November.
I am never profane or rage-filled, but hold opinions that differ from the accepted views on a number of issues (yes, that issue) and have my comments shut down to punish me, but still pay full price. It is annoying.

Me too, r28. Once I suspect it was Sussex squad trolls, the other times I don't know, though another time I believe it was due to my ripping someone for using the unwitty, moronic "BEARKING" tag. That's the level of pathetic we've reached. If it keeps up I'll be off here for good as it seems to indicate the site has been overrun by trolls and morons who are one in the same as Facebook commenters.

How much would it cost to purchase DL from Mediapolis?

When subscribing to a website, particularly porn, use a virtual credit card number, which Citibank offers on their cards. For a porn site that I plan to subscribe to for only one month at the introductory price, I use a virtual number that has a near expiration date and a dollar limit the same as the price I’m expecting to pay. That way I can’t be charged more and if I have any trouble cancelling the subscription, the virtual will automatically expire soon making it unusable, or I can immediately deactivate that virtual number and block any additional use. You can create multiple virtual numbers, so you can use a number for just one purpose and deactivating it has no effect on your real card or any of your other virtual numbers.

Go to Mediapolis’ office in a fur coat, a turban and a checkbook, r32.
Offer Muriel $10,000, if she agrees to give you the keys to Datalounge if she agrees to move to Buffalo.
If she says it’s too little, offer her $25,000 to move to Fresno, or $50,000 to leave the country.
Make sure you have wave the checkbook in front of Muriel’s face. Tell her if she doesn’t take the cash and LEAVE NOW, she’ll be getting a visit from some paroled lesbian gang members who will remove her from the offices by force.
