Won’t make a big deal out of this but I kinda think TER should credit the vip days many of us lost when the site went dark.  

What IS kinda of a big deal is the new payment plan that is based only on recurring monthly payments from a credit card.  I’ve used my card for years  for the purchase of vip but definitely prefer buying quarterly or a 1 year membership .

I want to be supportive. Is there any way to purchase a vip membership without recurring payments ?

Was thinking of renewing VIP (though it's been a long time) but I'm not really interested in the recurring charge approach. That along might lead to decide not to.

I see no reason to pay for something that is completely worthless!!!!

There will be no reason for TER to come back in some form of it previous self, if people pay for the shit that TER VIP is today.

Knowing how little benefit you get if you are in the US, I think TER should have a separate rate for us living under FOSTA.  I was a long time VIP, and would renew for the limited benefit of the occasional international girl that visits my City, but not the full price.
