I posted this over at .tv but here it is for you all to see. There's a lot more to say about this but I think most will be revealed once I get the new .tv up. I'm tired of charging for something that I don't feel right charging for. I'm determined to keep tinkering with the recipe until it's right.
It's been an eventful week :)
Dearest visitors,
First of all, I would like to thank you for your support over these years. And with that ominous statement out of the way, I’m pleased to announce that I am making StephTheGeek.TV free from this point forward. I am canceling all rebilling accounts effective immediately, but the site will remain up and active in its current state for at least a week for current members.
All cams will be free to the public, but the photoshoots and videos will be sold à la carte in the future on the site sexygeekgirl.com (nothing there yet). I still have a lot of fun with them but I need to do it when I want to, not when I feel like I should. The lucky few with lifetime memberships will have free lifetime access to all future photos and videos on this site. Anyone who has a three or six month membership with time remaining past December will receive a coupon to use on the photo/video site as credit for your remaining time. StephTheGeek.TV will become my life sharing project site, and StephTheGeek.com will remain as the personal and community site.
While the membership site has given me the financial means to explore new technology in the field, I have been feeling boxed in by the desires and expectations of paying members. This feeling of obligation has been inhibiting my creativity and dedication to my true passion of sharing my life online in many ways with as large an audience as possible. I’ve found new excitement in this little experiment of mine, and I’m afraid it’s not something that aligns well with a commercial endeavour.
Also, the rebilling and membership access part of the site has been my biggest source of frustration since the beginning, and hey, I could use a little less complication in my life right now :) The site will still cost hundreds of dollars a month to run, so I will be accepting donations on StephTheGeek.TV, but only as an optional gesture of support for my continued exploration.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns!
~ Stephanie
