Everything You Wanted to Know About the New Whiskey Multi-Pass

" @jakob187:  I'm honestly not sure if that's supposed to be directed at me.  I never said their ads were intrusive, I said I didn't notice any, that's the opposite.  I never said I had any problems with the usability of this site. Infact, I consider it a pinnacle of Web 2.0 convention in the realm of comicbook media.  I never even mentioned podcasts and I have never heard of them splitting those broadcasts. "

" @jakob187: Smart of you to debate this over here. Giantbombers are flipping out right now. lol "

" We love you guys regardless, it was not meant as a slight against our respective communities. Bottom line though is that we want to keep doing what we are doing, but we've got to eat, know what I'm saying? "

LOL... I was just wondering this morning about this site's cost/benefit ratio and how well it worked for Babs and the gang. Guess I know the answer now.  
 
Ok, so the reasons listed here don't even come close to anything that would make me pay for a premium account. We'll see if tomorrow this changes. Just hope the non-premiums dont get stuck with "incentive-to-pay" sucky accounts.
 
And can you believe I only just realized that there are links to all those other sites mentioned right at the bottom? 

 Definitely in the camp who found the second video a bit backhanded. I know that wasn't the intent, and understand the need for income, but it does make it seem that there could be potential "Subscribers versus Non-Subscribers" battles which I have seen destroy communities at other websites....and given how community driven CV is (and presumably the other WM websites)...the video actually makes me a bit nervous about the future. I believe in the good at CV and what has been said (that there will only be add-ons for subscribers and no changes to the free content), but one can't help but wonder...
 
Given that I've cut down my own pull list in recent months, there would have to be some facemelting features announced tomorrow to get me to pay. Love the site...it's fantastic and wonderful, but I gots a budget (for now) and only facemelting can change it.

 I'm a bit skeptical about this. Before I pay anything, and since I've pretty tight on money being a college student and all, and seeing I couldn't care less about the extras being offered for paid subscriptions, I'll wait and see how this plays out. It's not that I wouldn't pay a subscription for CV and GB, but right now I don't see any advantage to it. Besides, you don't accept PayPal and I don't have a credit card. 
 
Time will tell.

Whiskey Media folks: I only have an account with Comic Vine, and have only checked out the other sites when something was linked to them from CV.  However, if the Multi-Pass allows me to have one account for all the WM websites, I'd gladly sign up. 
 
On the downside, I truly hope what's free now is going to stay free.  I'm currently in a financial situation where I cannot afford to pay for something like this.  I wouldn't even have Internet, if one of my neighbors didn't have an unsecured wireless signal. :}   ...Comic Vine is one of the things helping me keep my sanity right now.  Not that one guy's situation should change anything, but I imagine I'm not the only one in those circumstances, and on behalf of those folks, I'd just like to say I'd miss this site, if I suddenly couldn't get to it.  It's a fun way to pass the time and discuss my hobby with others. 
 
I'm sure I'll check out the Big Live Show thing tomorrow.

I used to play PC games online for years and there was always one common trend. If you found a server you really enjoyed playing on and visiting regularly then you often donated a few pennies their way to keep it up and running. 
 
The same applies to Whiskey Media's membership plan. You donate to a company who happens to provide a massive amount of content free of charge in order to keep that content and that company flowing normally. In return they make sure you not only continue to get your regular content as you've been used to for years now but you also receive a few neat bonus extras as well.  
 
$50 a year for ALL of the Whiskey Media websites is a pretty neat deal given how much video content they pump out. How regularly they all provide podcasts and arguably how expansive their respective wiki databases are becoming. Hopefully clearer heads prevail later down the line, for now lets all enjoy watching the knee jerk reactions and have a good chuckle!

 Will pay even 100 euros a year to support the whiskey media guys! Bring it on...    

Where do I sign up? Is this "Paid Member" multi link, account stuff activated yet? 

I`d like to see 5 Paid Members jump on this :
 

I'll check and see what this all entails tomorrow, but at this time I don't see me shelling out ~$50.00 or whatnot yearly to view items I've always been able to view for free.

My Money! Not Yours!

Hello people of Comic Vine. I hail from the land of Giant Bombington and I come in peace!

How awesome! Already linked them all, but I didn't seem to change my Screened username (The "B" as in Bigheart711 wasn't capitalized there)

" I like how the Anime Vice  seats are in the back getting vomited on. Lol. "

lmao I noticed that as well.  "

Fun fact: The multipass killed my freakin' auto log ins. I can't get on my main because I forgot it's password and apparently it's not linked to my present e-mail. >:(

Why does it say I have six months to sign up? What does that mean?

I found a way to make the help feature work again so i'm going to use that now

Bit too steep for me, especially once it's converted over.

Are we supposed to be unable/forbidden to make alternate accounts on CV now (for RPG characters and whatnot)?
It would be nice to be able to log out (from one's multipass) and then log into an alternate account without having to delete one's browser cookies...

Is there any way, I can log into my other accounts...I made a mistake by using this account for the multipass, but now I can't log into my Main account...I'm really worried now, cause I am active in the RPG sections here so...Can I somehow unsignup for the MultiPass 

" Why does it say I have six months to sign up? What does that mean? "

Because I used Facebook Connect, I didn't have a password, so when I created a Multipass it created this stupid account instead of linking to my actual account: ( Does anyone know how to fix this?

So if I pay for this shit....I better not get banned or I want a refund!

I really just can't believe that I'm not able to log into my other accounts...This multipass is stupid...I don't even use the other sites...

I've been here for almost two years and I aint leaving until they charge is mandatory or the features I enjoyed go away

I would considering paying (though not $50/annually) if they could guarantee spam accounts could not be created solely for the purpose of spamming blog posts and if the forums had a more structured feel. I'm not opposed if the CV forum was powered by vBulletin, honestly.

I knew this day would come...

I'd like to see some images of the mobile page and know what the "profile enhancements" are before I put some money down. Anyone have any of that info or has it not been announced yet?

Will the videos be posted later, after the fact?  Or will the Live Show only be a one time thing and never posted to watch later?

6 months to convert or else????.... Can anyone recommend a site similar to what comicvine was???

" I knew this day would come... "

" @JoeRiccadonna: I really don't see the benefit of paying myself. I'd like to have the mobile site but that's the only feature that I"m really interested in. "
