+Random Terrain Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 please be respectable to our guest, no offensive or vulgar remarks will be allowed I'm not sure it's possible to be respectable to a person, but I bet people could try to be respectful. OK, so we can't make offensive or vulgar remarks, but I see nothing about video chatting in the nude with offensive and vulgar words written on our bodies with lipstick.

Dan Iacovelli Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Effective 8/1/2012 the ebook versions of the programs will no longer be free the reason behind this is because I saw howmany people d/l the ebook and rather then not getting any profit for the sale I figured to start charging for it and get a small proffit from it. ebook prices: 2011 program: 1.77 the current year(2012):1.66 these are basically the prices it cost me to do copies for the show (I will only get about 60 or 70 cents profit from the sale due to base price(.99) and 10% for lulu.com cut, still it's good) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
