Gentlemen. Good morning. Very pleased to finally make the formal announcement, and after many weeks of development the day is finally here. You can see we practically re-wrote the site in recent weeks and we’ve added a boatload of long anticipated features which we have advance-previewed to most of you already.
Recent major upgrades:
Membership Tiers
We now have 3 membership levels. All 3 are currently active.
1. Guest Basic member + Forums Participant
2. Ghost (+ extras & exclusives)
3. Galt ( + everything we offer, including an ad-free experience + pro stuff)We preview-tested the “Ghost” level to separate the brand new members, mostly because of belligerent hotheads and women signing up. I alone have deleted 12 females since 01.01. We created an “approval buffer” so every new join could not just start littering the forums…. and then making off like vandals wasting everyone’s time and attention. Moderating it took too many dozens and hundreds of hours away from production, so we decided to do something about it. They don’t get to do that anymore.
Our first 11,000 members have already been upgraded “Ghost” – by us. Free forever. We were going to begin with the first 10,000 only …. but so many recent new members have been terrific with their forums contributions and our delays required we bumped that number up. Everyone else up till now #13330 who has requested forums participation posting privileges has been granted them. As more members join, the numbers will increase.
However, episodes like this one today are now a thing of the past. We don’t have the ability, time or resources to allow these assholes in here anymore.
If someone like that wants to participate, they will have to PAY.
And when they have to pay and are forced be genuinely invested, they will stop doing that s~~~.If they still continue…. we will still boot them, but they didn’t get off for free.
So there is now a “queue” for forums participation for the time being. The forums are extremely busy and every minute spent moderating is time away from growing the site and production. A truly invested individual can now “approve themselves” for the forums by choosing an upgrade plan.
They can either wait for us to grant posting privileges when we have the bandwidth and time, or pay $5 minimum for one month, upgrade themselves to “ghost”, and make themselves a participant on the spot under the same house guidelines. Even though it’s pennies per day, it’s something that shows they are GENUINE and REALLY interested in being here.
Those are the only kinds of members we want. Those that care.
This also places a “value” on everything we provide to everyone else and makes everyone understand that what we’re doing here is not free for us and represents an ENORMOUS cost and expense that we have absorbed since inception. Nothing will change but by adding a monthly “price” reminder, members will know that live chat, favorites system, private messaging, forums moderation, and keeping this site for MEN ONLY is all WORK.

For the longest time MANY of you – SO MANY of you – have been so generous with offering donations and support for our efforts, and we have refused to have the conversation. The outpouring of well-meaning and generosity has been overwhelming and we thank every last one of you most sincerely. We simply won’t accept “donations” because we don’t have to and it’s staunchly against our principal. We would rather provide actual, tangible products and services that you can really use and enjoy….. and several members have retained our services for outside projects.
This ain’t no Anita Sarkeesian lazy parasite outfit — where she holds her hands out for $165K to make 3 youtube videos in a year. That’s bulls~~~.
We also heard all of you who said “we WANT to contribute – please make it possible”. So we did.
Since everyone can enjoy the site, anyone who wants to can “upgrade” to Ghost can – even if they are a “Ghost” member and a participant already. You can upgrade for $5 for a month… two months… a year… whatever you want. And you can cancel at any time without reducing your level. This will keep existing members and any contributions you make FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE and it’s 100% VOLUNTARY – and it suits everyone at every price point.
We’re giving the products and services upfront, and leaving it to the members to decide if it’s worth something to them. Members will now decide what we will put more energy into. If the demand is there, we’ll create it.
Examples:
• Unlimited Private Messaging which you can initiate (basic members can only read & reply up to 5X)
• Unlimited archive Favorites (now in the archives) /favorites
• File / Image uploads and archiving (available on Ghost profiles soon to support videos and audios too!)
• Unlimited Forums access
• Live chat forum /chat
• MAKE YOUR PROFILE PRIVATE (a hugely requested one!)
• Free HD Screensaver downloads (when available)…. you can see the breakdown on /upgrade .

As a big plus, for paying Ghost members, we’re even offering a mgtow.email address for everyone – which is service we created in partnership with a big international domain registry. More info on that is on the upgrade page. That was hugely requested and now it’s a very exciting reality! Monthly members can keep the address for as long as they are monthly subscribers. So you can be YOU AT MGTOW DOT EMAIL and separate your personal email altogether.
Use it across the Manosphere and we hope it will connect the community more than ever. Nobody needs to worry about “doxxing” … EXAMPLE: if Sandman or Barbarossa wants to be contacted by anyone, they can be Sandman @ mgtow . email and anyone can reach them without them giving out personal info. Service provided by MGTOW.COM but kept completely separate from the site.
We think this is really epic.
.. and you’ll even get a receipt emailed to you like this:

I think that about covers it for now. Since this kicked in only about an hour ago, some features will need to be “hooked into it” so (for example) if you’re a Ghost member, the “live chat” button will be “ON” for you. That sort of detail will be tweaked over the weekend. Likewise , basic members will lose the “heavier” features that can slow the site down – like the “members online now” feature which will be reserved for Ghost members. etc.
We trust everyone will find this fan-f~~~ing-tastic, and may it grow MGTOW.COM into the site we imagined it would be. To the future, infinity and beyond.
Thank you very much, and a spectacular weekend to you.
MGTOW | Development Team.If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.Topic: I’m not convinced
I may be what you call a blue-pill man. You can call me whatever you want, but I’ve seen the red pill and I don’t believe the hype.
First let me tell you about my situation, so you can see where my perspective is coming from. I’m a 38-year-old single man (never married), and rent a house with a roommate and her three girls. She fits the whole stereotype of the entitled, carousel-riding woman; each girl has a different father, and I’ve seen her chew up and spit out boyfriends en masse. And she and I are pretty good friends. At the point you might legitimately wonder if I’m gay, but no. Just socially awkward and not good with women — in retrospect, this is probably just as well.
I just finished listening to a video called On Bachelors and Fathers by Barbarossa. I don’t mean to pick on him or his video; this is just something I see as part of a larger trend with MGTOW content. It looks to me like grains of truth are being taken and blown way out of proportion.
If you haven’t seen the video, it talks about a man who works long hours and gets little time with his child. When he actually is home, his wife uses passive-aggression to undermine his relationship with his son. This is an utterly soul-destroying commentary. But it is also literally nothing like my childhood or that of anyone I knew growing up. It is also nothing like most of my neighbours. My dad enjoyed walks in the park with me, and taught me how to use his camera and develop photos in his black-and-white darkroom. At my friends’ houses, I usually saw one parent just as much as the other (except for one of my friends who’s dad was a truck driver and always gone).
Today, when my roommate’s girls go across the street to play, I see the other kids with their dad just as often as their mom, either going out for a ride or playing with the sprinkler in the front yard. I even occasionally see emphasis on the importance of fathers in mainstream media. Just recently, I heard about a father-daughter dance on the radio, and one of the radio hosts gush about how happy she was to see a young woman spend more time with her father and how valueable that was.
I can go to work and hear the guys talk about what they did with their kids. During a period in my life when I was a regular churchgoer, I remember whole families doing things together. Now I grant that mothers are a clear majority at public parks, but by no means are men absent. I still see a significant number of fathers and children there.
Canadian law on parental leave is gender-neutral, and I know two guys at work (a machine shop, not many women) who took a couple weeks off when they had new babies being born. Both times we took a collection around the shop floor and came up with a few hundred dollars — enough to take the edge off the absence from work.
I believe Barbarossa. when he gives this account of a marginalized, alienated father. I see how bad it is and I know the problem exists. But I don’t believe that fathers are being kept away from their kids en masse. This looks to me like a gross exaggeration, and I’m just not buying it.
