Is Jacob still active in this post? He said he would be reading all the replies and giving feedback. I haven't seen any replies from him since the first page.

I've seen some good questions and really good responses from the community, but I'm really hoping to see Jacob's input on some of these questions.

I've lurked Fakku since god knows when-- I seem to recall looking at the site as early as 2008 or earlier. I've been a subscriber from pretty much as soon as Subscriber content became more interesting than the free, but there was a lot of unlicensed content that I still enjoyed and could not find elsewhere. That content being removed now means I have to search on less reputable sites that do not do anything to reimburse the artists/publishers, rather than Fakku, which makes very concerted efforts to reconcile and work with the content creators.

I understand the decision and I see where it came from, but I think there should have been a better way of handling the loss of years of translated content. Where else do I go? A huge amount of content was just removed from this site.

Again, I'm not sure what a better decision would be, but this wasn't the best one by far.

i've been with fakku since the 7th grade and last year i got my bachelors degree. i'm not exactly pleased with the huge decision but i can say i support whatever you guys do. jacob and company do good work and have earned my respect (and it was great meeting jacob in CT about 5yrs ago).

and although i only plan to subscribe maybe 1/3 to 1/4 of the year, i've purchased every book and will continue to come back on occasion. because as much as i really like the high quality content that gets put out, i don't really like how sometimes it's mostly NTR being put out for like 3 days and that's kind of a turn off. but as you guys said, the longer this system exists, the more content will be added to the library. so i really look forward to subbing again after waiting 2-3 months to catch up on the backlog.

but if you really want to keep my subscription the entire time, you'll need to give the buyer an extra incentive or je ne sais quoi because although i support the decision to not discriminate against any tags, it periodically results in some "wasted" days for new content assuming one has gone through all the previous titles. it results in some days-- after reading the 2 new vanilla releases of the day, i'll go through the list again to find anything i didn't want to read before only to desperately dig up some bakunyuu/NTR content only to result in bad feels but that's a personal problem i guess...

Likewise - the discussion will reach almost 20 pages, and it's motly personal feedbacks. I think we deserve some responses.

It is the best decision. It is the morally correct decision (wow... Morals on a porn site)

But it doesnt mean its a favorable decision.

Dammit, that's what I get for maintaining a bookmarks folder instead of using the site's favorites feature. :(

I think you should make an announcement for this, like the little red banner, so people don't ask this a hundred times again.

People not reading is not the fault of a website. You could have it big bold and flashing and someone will still say that they had no idea. This is just the nature of human intelligence.

Well im not sure how many ppl here are from europe, but i actually think your goal is quite nice, somehow selfish but nice - want to support it, but you're still missing the chance to intigrate other payment methods - I mean when you're thinking about it, it was quite stupid removing everything and still only being able to "SUPPORT" via Credit Card.. just my personal opinion - I think that a lot of fans now feel like being kicked out..in Germany its uncomon to have a fucking credit card - jesus frickin' christ! :'D makes me sad - till this matter is not solved im not able to support anything wont get one "just" for fakku. *sob sob*


What kind of payment methods? Do you know what typical adult German sites use for payment?



You let it sound like im stupid or something. Well my opinion is this, Hentai for me is more like actual art - on the other hand porn is just porn, nothing you actually can form the way you want it too. So why is it such a biggy to hope for other payment methods? - Im just saying its hindering people like me in supporting you, if thats such a big deal then be it.

He's just asking for what payment methods are available/typically used by people in Germany. Nothing condescending about it.

Oh thank fuuuuuuuck for that <3

*dances*

I'll dearly miss good old Fakku, but this was the most important thing for me ^^

I can't pretend I'm happy with the loss of everything Fakku started out as, and the main stuff that made it such a great site, but ultimately this is Jacob's site and his decision.
It has been a pleasure and a privilege being here, and I'm sorry it all had to end like this, but good luck in your future endevours.


The only thing I was really upset about was not bothering to tell us before wiping out the favourites, which made (I'm sure) a lot of us feel that everything we'd invested in the site was meaningless and we simply weren't valued.

So thanks for being nice~


I would however strongly recommend putting a post or advert about this somewhere obvious (rather than just page 19 of a massive thread) so people get a chance to hear about it.


P.S. Just one ore thing... anyone know how best to go about reading the exported file?

I'm asking so we can look into implementing alternative payment methods that are common for customers in Germany.

Im Okay with the change. You also mentioned paysafe is this a possible option?

I believe they were one of the companies to deny usage.

Can you not sell digital currency on Paypal? ie: "Top up your account." You're not buying adult material you're just updating a virtual wallet. I don't see how paypal could object to that.

If paypal find out about it as a loophole in their system, the punishment is harsher. Its not a risk fakku should take. Adult sites has always been like this. The only true payment method has always been CC. There might be other ways, but im pretty sure they are more obscure or more risky.

Maybe you are, because you could just tell us how a german pays for porn online if theres no creditcard. And hentai is still porn so it still falls in adult content. Maybe then fakku and the members can get enlightened with options available. And maybe they can find alternative methods for you.
