Yes Toby, We work with a program called Magic Members, and the only payment system we display is CCBill ... so on the joining Page you will see this :
and the payment process is made by CCBill don't worry
Once the Username and the password choosed, you will be redirected on a CCBill payment platform ( the same as the regular website )
once the payment completed, the username and the password are validated in our system and you can view the site
The same password will beused for all access to all other functions in the site : Forum, as we got rewards for participations some got access to blogs, download etc ...
Some reasons for this, even if this has been a pain to set up ....
1- The CCbill .htaccess didn't work properly with Wordpress system, and created external servor errors
2- Once fixed, the system detected the User/pswd, aand also could be shared by other persons .
3 - This new system close by section the views of the content, so we will use in the next weeks Pay per View, a Download System, different access for members etc ....
Oh as I am here :
There is an Help Page for joining page here
Also there are two chatroom , one in the free zone on in the memberzone, for permanent support
Another thing, to stay with CCBill ( or Epoch ) with Wordpress there are two possibilities : Magic Members or Amembers . No way out because none of CCBill or Epoch can set up properly the security on your WP site. if you are on WP of course
If You have any similar probs, feel free to contact me as we tested the two ways
