Yeah, About that Fanbox Update
Added 2022-11-19 18:47:23 +0000 UTCSo for anyone who had missed it, Pixiv has announced an incoming change in policy of what sort of contents are banned from monetization.
While the full policy will not be available until the end of November, there is a good chance that a majority of all R-18G content on Fanbox are gonna land into "Privated" prison, or just outright account suspension purgatory. The new changes will be in effect starting Dec 15 2022. What a great way to welcome the holidays!
I am looking for alternatives to Fanbox, but western services' content policies are not promising. And all other Japanese alternativs require a JP bank account from as far as I can tell. If anyone has any ideas, I am all ears. I will also announce my new home here, when I find it. My ko-fi account is still up if you still wanna gimme a tip now and then (https://ko-fi.com/veiledsos).
This account will continue to run and I will make my usual updates. I will also start privating some posts that will be easier to be flagged by the new policy (from my own understanding anyway). But if shit does hit the fan, then I will be privating everything in this account. So I suggest everyone to download everything that you want before Dec 15.
The good news is, the Pixiv gallery remains unaffected so I will still be able to post content there. This will not affect my usual Friday night streams either.
I know the current situation looks grim, but I plan to just take it easy. Enjoy the holidays and then figure things out as they come. And I suggest you all do the same :)
As always, thanks for all the support. You guys are what's keeping the R-18G community going.

2022-11-27 06:26:22 +0000 UTCWell PM more private. I think it can be fine until you don't post any guro on to the site just normal picures. Or sending links thought discord maybe more safe. Of course i also want to move (subscribestar maybe) but that takesw time and i want to use the fanbox until that.

2022-11-24 16:14:59 +0000 UTCI think you can use something like Google Drive to post. In post use "normal" preview :)
2022-11-24 07:05:22 +0000 UTCOh jeez. I always thought that wasn't possible until I dug around. There's a newsletter feature! Not really PM, but that might work. I didn't realize this until now :|. Will still kinda depend on the rules set out by Pixiv. I think, at the end of the day, if they really start enforcing BS rules, I will just move entirely. At that point, I wouldn't want to give them a dime.

2022-11-23 23:45:35 +0000 UTCWhat about keeping the subscribers and posting normal pictures... But sending download link in PM - for the fans? In Pixiv you can easily send PM to your fans.

2022-11-23 20:17:47 +0000 UTCPretty much all R-18G artists I know have been banned from there

2022-11-22 11:30:40 +0000 UTCWhat about Patreon?
2022-11-22 05:54:40 +0000 UTCthere's a better option. tip.cc has an automated feature where you can pay for premium for limited duration like 1mo. https://tip.cc/guides/discord-role-store

2022-11-21 05:15:36 +0000 UTCHonestly even without a policy change that sounds cute as heck and I'm super for it

2022-11-20 05:48:32 +0000 UTCseems to be coin based.... Will look into it

2022-11-20 00:49:39 +0000 UTCYeah I have been thinking of ending every image set with like a behind the scenes set kinda ending where all the actors are just there smiling at the camera :p

2022-11-20 00:49:23 +0000 UTCI have been very reluctant to start a discord server just because I will have another thing that I have to manage. But if it comes to it, it might be a good idea...
veiled616
2022-11-20 00:48:16 +0000 UTCYou can set up discord and use tipbot to accept payments
vicodan
2022-11-20 00:27:33 +0000 UTCAnyway a possible simple solution might be to just distribute your artworks behind mega links (in password protected archives) like most do with uncensored versions of their artwork.

2022-11-19 23:03:14 +0000 UTCI think your way of handling it is the best,it is useless to lose our heads already when the full policy hasn't been disclosed yet, btw i was reading the fanbox post and it mentions "non consensual" and i wonder if it would be possible in the future to just stick some "this is consensual" flavor text and get away with it

2022-11-19 23:01:27 +0000 UTChttps://subscribestar.adult/tos you can read the terms of service for subscribestar adult, might help you make a decision.
2022-11-19 22:40:45 +0000 UTCI suggest start a discord chanel first. You can gather your followers there and you can inform them about your new plans. I also suggest subscribestars too altough i heard that verifying your site is a long process.

2022-11-19 22:17:42 +0000 UTCAh, I guess I misread it then.

2022-11-19 21:32:29 +0000 UTCI believe that is only Subscriberstar normal, They have an adult version as well. Though they have yet to verify mine as well.

2022-11-19 20:04:26 +0000 UTCI still buy a decent chunk of guro from gumroad though. I guess its not enforced heavily.
donte
2022-11-19 19:57:37 +0000 UTCThis is Gumroad's prohibited content.... https://gumroad.com/prohibited
veiled616
2022-11-19 19:28:12 +0000 UTCLook into Subescribestar or, maybe even more friendly, setting up a Gumroad store
michealdark
2022-11-19 19:21:30 +0000 UTCThis is in there policy: https://www.subscribestar.com/prohibited_content I can use that as a temporary alternative, but it seems like it is only a matter of time. And doing another big move would rally suck
veiled616
2022-11-19 19:21:11 +0000 UTCWould subscribestar not be an alternative? They seem to be very lax on what content is allowed to be posted.
