I've always thought they ought to start using paypal. I also love how the emails are touched with plausible denyablity even while they try to help us.

You were expecting easy? By the way, I think that was your fault.

Burn would like to take this opportunity to NOT apologise to all members.

After many days of analysis, Burn has determined that there was a security issue with FunPub's e-commerce system. FunPub appreciate all of you who have sent in your details, but would appreciate it even more if you would stop doing it as it's dominating their work days and has become quite a struggle.

So please, think of the children, think of the kittens, and most importantly, think of Burn when you renew your membership this year.

I'm sure there will be a new thread on this shortly, but Crave.com just got sold. I'd crap my pants if FunPub bought it.

IMPORTANT - INTERNATIONAL MEMBERS PLEASE NOTE YOUR RENEWAL DATE!!!

I cannot stress this enough - I was freaked out, noting that my membership ran out on (what I thought to be) March 6th, 2012 -

In my profile, it reads '06/03/12' - US users read this as June 03rd, 2012, whereas most European and other countries as well, read this as March 06th, 2012 - I thought I needed to renew, but I'm good until June.

It was mentioned as a question on the TFCC Facebook page from an International user - only then I thought of the US date format - please double-check your renewal date!

I for one, am delighted threefold:

I don't have to pay out (again) for an overpriced International Membership to get Runamuck;

I don't have to organise time out of work to go to the bank for an International Money Order

...And, I don't have to give FubPub Inc / the TFCC any more money this year, and probably won't ever again - my first time getting these 3 exclusives, and the headaches, heartaches and arse-aches I have gotten from dealing with the TFCC these past couple of months have probably put me off dealing with them for life!

(that being said, all bets are off if they bring out something equally decent next year! )

Well, I sent in my renewal via snail mail. Hopefully it arrives there safely. I also hope that, come Botcon, they have a lot more cash lines than credit at the club store. Because I have a feeling there's gonna be a lot of people using cash only there.

OK... So as of right now, who all has not received order confirmation on their Over-Run?

It is totally 100% safe to use your cards in gas pumps, ATM's, walmart, Mcdonalds, dating websites, etc. Credit card scammers worldwide only target Funpub members.

Yeah the club is not the only place in the world that has had their security compromised, but they apparently cannot even tell that someone broke in, even though it's blatantly obvious. So why should I trust that someone isn't just camping on their site waiting to break through their lackluster security again? It is after all just a business run out of some dudes garage.

And for many people this is just one of many mistakes the club has made over the years. It's been said many times here already, but it's just a "final nail in the coffin" type of deal. I'd only been with them for two years and I was already sick of them, I'm actually relieved I'll never be dealing with them again.

I contacted FunPub regarding International Membership renewal and was told that I could mail a money order in, or if I chose to, e-mail (across a number of e-mails) by credit card details which they'd then process manually.

Given that i'll be using a pre-paid credit card, e-mailing will be a better option. Even if my mails are intercepted, it's only a pre-paid and will only have enough money on it to cover membership.

What I don't get is why they're not allowing paypal as an option here: it's very straightforward to just send money that way with our address. Not to mention cheaper than mailing a payment, but I digress.

Teaches me to wait till the deadline was close.

I couldn't have put it better myself. This is totally the final nail in the coffin. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the end for FunPub. I can't wait for someone else to take the reins of BotCon and give us something other than the same old shoehorned figures and masturbatory fan fiction.

Nobody should be punished because they wanted to wait until the deadline to renew for such a shitty, lackluster club as this. Nobody.

I think the least they could have done was give everyone who might have been effected by the credit card theft a free renewal.
