Hi, nothing has changed on the site. Its still $29.95US for North American users and $24.95 Euro for Euro users. In europe, its all in euro so we're not sure what the problem is. Euro users pay less than US since they are paid in euro. This is why we adjusted the US pricing for US users. We're just following the market price and ensuring the users gets the best for the money for US and European markets. We don't control pricing. Maybe we should all thank Mr. Bush for his wonderful loss of US value for the last 3 years.

Hi Raven,
Just want you to know that I appreciate the DDF sites giving those of us with dollar-based accounts a break in spite of the exchange rates. I'm sure it hasn't been easy.
Under the current presidency here, the national debt is greater than every single previous administration COMBINED. I don't know how Bush can be called a "conservative." Real conservatives don't do things like that! And the real ones, the fiscal conservatives, are more than a little ticked off.
But Bush alone couldn't have done it. It took a broad enough spectrum across his party and the electorate to keep him in office in 2004. We have them to thank as well.

I'd better correct you Raven, cause the facts you stated are simply wrong.
NOT all european countries have Euro as their currency. And 24.95 euro is more than 38 dollars! Right?

Exactly. In Europe, users earn their revenues in Euro. In the US, people earn their revenues in US dollars. So European are paying $24.95 Euro and in US there paying $29.95US.
Denys could have simply said its $24.95 Euro everywhere but decided not too because it would hurt the US users too much. The Euro value is 1.6 compared to US dollar. All these problems are because of Mr. Bush. Denys is making ZERO profit these days because of the loss of the US dollar. We are all very lucky Denys is still willing to create new sets for all of us. Even models now are requesting to be all paid in Euro dollars (they used to be paid in US dollars). So before complaining about rate exchanges, you should understand our situation and what we have to deal with. We're simply doing our best to provide the best rate for all users, no more. no less.
Thanks
Raven

Raven, I am sorry but you are wrong again!
I can assure that I am not "earning my revenues" in Euro, just like millions of other people over here.
Don't you agree that 24.95 euro is more than 38 dollars?

Hi, I guess you didn't read my messages. We're all very lucky the price isn't $29.95 Euro everywhere (even in the US). Denys is pulling all the strings to be able to offer US pricing for US users. Instead of complaining, look at the other side of the coin. We didn't decide these pricing changes. Mr. Bush did when he screwed up the US dollar.

Before I answer to your comment, please do understand that I am a member of 1 By Day right now, and have been a member on some of the other DDF sites too, and I like it!
BUT, why do I have to pay 38 dollars to join, whereas an american only has to pay 29.95?
Listen, I live in a european country that has it's own currency, NOT Euro, just like Great Britain or several other countries. You stated that we all earn our revenues in Euro, but this is wrong man!
I don't like Mr Bush at all, but I won't blame him for this.
In my world, asking people to correct "facts" that are wrong, is not to complain.

This is our last email on this subject. Denys didn't have an easy decision to make but either we had everybody paying $29.95 Euro (over $44US/month) or we had US users pay $29.95US and Euro users pay $24.95 Euro which is normal since Europeans live in Euro dollars. If you country doesn't yet work in Euro there's nothing we can do about that.
Think about it, if the US dollar was worth 1.6 Euro, you would surely be paying $29.95 Euro or more. You lucky its not the other way around. Thank Mr. Bush for all this nonsense. It has hothing to do with us.
End of thread.

I totally agree on this being the last comments.
You told me that I didn't read your messages, which I did!
But did you read mine?
I DON'T GET PAID IN EURO, just like millions of other europeans.
And btw, there's no such thing as a euro dollar.
The people of my country decided on NOT to join the Euro, even if we are part of the European Union. We were told that if we voted no to this, we had to return to living in the stone age. But what happened? Today our economy is one of the best in the whole wide world.
Never blindly trust your politicians!
