MediaMax - Pay PER Upgrade - WTF
 

So I purchased a legal fetish tube on here not too long ago..
I was going to use the audio feature to promote phone sex.. and video branding too..

I go purchase the upgrade to the media max software...
and they want to charge me for EACH versions upgrade...

Here's what he said:
My question to him.. is couldn't I just get my server to backup my videos for me... in the database? and just delete everything and start over?

I think he sees a chick's name and is wanting to rip me off...

switch cms'

how much cost that , full price? Maybe you get 60$ update just for next version of softer, and 60$ for next etc... If not you need to buy FULL price software.

That's great and good but I wouldn't know how to convert this old one to the new one...

I bought this tube because the media max seemed so simple... and I think I've gotten way, way, way in over my head.

Full price is $299.. which I paid for.
I paid for a BRAND NEW version license..
But he's telling me to upgrade.. I've got to pay for each stair step...
So $299 + the $660.

My question is.. can't my server just backup the database part with the videos and members.. delete everything.. and install it as a stand alone?

I realize there are fancier, more expensive ones out there.. but this was simple and fulfilled my needs...

Now I just need to hear from one of you script dudes if it's possible for me to back up the members and videos database...

fuck that!! ...I'm guessing you should be able to backup everything from the sql db and the folder the videos are located ?

could always hire a coder to import the old data to the new cms, make the new cms seo links or video links identical.

That's what I"m guessing too..
but I don't know for sure...

Or would a coder just be able to do a cold install of the newest version... and take the backed up database and videos.. and reupload them to work?

Ugh. They're also telling me that because I purchased the account... I need to pay for video branding again...

I told him that the previous owner never used the video branding upgrade.. thus they never did the work that came with it... so I should get the 5 mins of uploading and linking...

But they're really trying to shaft me.. and I think it all has to deal with seeing a chick name like "Brandi" in the emails...
If I were a dude.. they would not be pushing me around like this...

It's kinda like the air filter at the oilchange place....

It's always nice to do your homework before buying a site.

But goodluck

Well if I'd have saw that the upgrades were pay for stair stepping... I wouldn't have got into this.
But they don't have it on their sites that the upgrades are stair stepped and you pay for each individual ones.. ANYWHERE...
