UPGRADES

[KeymasterKeymaster]

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.

seconded. I only joined Monday, but feel like i’ve been looking for this movement my entire life.

I don’t believe i chanced upon this. I was destined for it.

I’m in awe. Hat’s off to you Key master! The work it took and takes from you is mind boggling. Thank you !

I share that joy with you. We obtained the dot com 2 years ago today, opened the doors on APR 06 and the forums 3 months later wth NO IDEA what would become of it. Yeah we knew we could make a killer site, but there is a real pulse nobody predicted here and if we listened to others, it wouldn’t be so.

Lesson learned: Don’t ever listen to anyone who tells you it can’t be done.

A more common thought than you may realize. It’s definitely a “calling”.
Arrived the same way myself.

This was a bitch to implement, but after the weekend I hope to exhale for a week or so, then we’ll be back at for some new surprises.

THANK … YOU. Your comments and enthusiasm have been very inspiring.

Just wrote you a personal email to say thanks. Very thrilling for us, M52. Touched. And exited! Our first successful member upgrade! Please respond if you want about your mgtow.email – if you want it.
Instructions are in the message. You have full choice of what address you want. It’s the first.

Thanks again.

Oooo..
I my go straight “Galt”.

Need to accept PayPal and Bitcoin too. Will accept a year instead of just monthly?

It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion, it is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning; it is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

Don’t tease me. Galt level full email box is ready today. You can have it today. But a 100% ad free experience has to be hooked into the upgrade – so give us 2 days for that. Everywhere there is an ad on the site, we have to say “if this member is Galt, don’t display any ads”. We haven’t done that yet. just so you know.

Any Galt members will see no ads at all – unless it’s our personally approved book sponsor, and that’s not even in the forums.

Also we’re trimming down the ads somewhat for Ghosts too.
( missing on the list. )

Yeah I can give you a coupon code for a year if you want to go upfront – “2 months free” or 20%. I’ll message you about that. And paypal is doable just not automated yet. I’ll reach out to you. Were not expecting Galt signups so quickly!

And I forgot to mention we created a scratch and win!!! (for newbies mostly but anyone can play and I’ll just send you one.

Thank you! ALL.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

[OldBillParticipant]

Done and done, Key. Don’t worry about issuing all the various benefits, I’m just grateful that I can finally help this site in some small way.

Edit: Just read some of the other comments, Key, and I’m interested in a yearly payment too. Thanks again.

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.

I’m too broke to PAY attention!
For now lets just say I’m financially spoken for!

Well done. Thank you Keymaster for creating this site. I consider it to be the center point of the MGTOW universe.

Pretty great features, I can see myself using some of these, in the near future.

Thank you KM and Team, for continual advancements and improvements to this ever growing site.

[CaliParticipant 753]

Yes! Great job, KM! As many men here have said before: You are saving lives every day through the work you do here.

Just a misogynist virgin hiding away in his mother's basement. Nothing to see here...

[Anonymous 7]

Thanks KM. I will be upgrading

[ILiveAgainParticipant]

hahahahahaha Hahahahaha (in a super villan style) …. while stroking a white cat from the comfort of an exec chair…

SO …. IT BEGINS …..

Well girls ….. um …. it was nice …. but …

MEN DOING MEN STUFF. The ship is built …. tested … improved … and now loading up.

[Prefer Peace to PieceParticipant 10809]

Great job Key.
Outstanding quality and continuous improvement.

How do we sign up for a year?

[AvidAvariceParticipant 223]

Man, I didn’t think this site could get any better – you guys just keep rolling out surprise after surprise. I feel a sense of pride just as a member, so I can only imagine what KM and co. feel. Thank you, excellent work!

Will there be an option to still display ads and/or not trim the ads as a ghost member? If the ads pull some income for the site, I’d rather keep them displayed – it’s the reason why this is the only site I have my ad blocker disabled for.

[Jan SobieskiParticipant 28791]

I’m in, if nothing more than to support the site.

Love is just alimony waiting to happen. Visit mgtow.com.
