USguy wonders aloud:
What ever happened to *BiLl*HiRo?
> Bill's photo album
> His other album
Sassy young Japanese-Brazilian guy who was living in Nagoya a couple years back. Wasn't he hot? I could so imagine being his boyfriend (if I were younger and single, haha.)

Where is he now?

Really nice photos of him here:
> jap_84 on Asoboo
(He even dedicated one to me.)
Last time he logged in was June 2006. Yikes.

I suppose Bill moved back to Brazil.

GREAT TIP!
Have you ever wished you could browse JguyUSguy while at work but felt too nervous/embarrassed by the "adult" images that others in your office might see? Well, yesterday I decided to find a Firefox add-on button that would allow me to hide graphics but browse the site. And I found it! It works!

(Please note that you won't see the "hot" premium or insider content listed in this search UNLESS YOU ARE LOGGED IN. There are huge benefits to logging in while you browse JguyUSguy. If you're not logged in you won't even notice this activity. A whole layer of the community will be invisible to you.)

If you lack premium access and don't feel like paying for it, there's a kind of back door to "hot" files. Just go to the "LIVE!" page and keep reloading the page in your browser. You can find EVERY premium file that other members are downloading. Try it. It's a good trick.

GREAT MOBILE BROWSING
Did you know that the latest imode phones now enable "full browser" mode? You can check JguyUSguy while on the train. For example:

I just upgraded my DoCoMo handset to SO705i. You can log in to Groupee, and use full web functionality. (But it's a bit slow.)

Photo albums tip

Aug. 20 - Navigation upgrade completed
You may have noticed that we did our best to make navigation a little easier on JguyUSguy. It took us about 4 days to do this. If you have time, please click around and test the links. If you find anything messed up, please email us and let us know:
http://jguyusguy.org/contact/contact2.php
Thanks!

New site navigation
It's been too long since we've updated the top navigation. Time has come again. So, sometime this weekend, be sure to check the home page and see if anything looks different to you:
http://jguyusguy.org/

Premium members have spoken
We sent a questionnaire to your premium brothers

In the email we asked them why they chose premium.

The idea is to help the undecided decide. Consider this like a consumer report. If you pay for premium, we want you to know what you're getting.

In the emailed questionnaire, we made a point to let the premium guys know that we wanted honest feedback, and we got it!

Below, we present all of it. Mostly positive. Some mixed feelings. Plus one or two very negative responses.

It's all here. Nothing has been withheld.

Main question:
Why did you purchase premium membership? I.e., why (or how) do you value it?

quote:
First of all, coz i wanted to use the INSIDE FORUM. I was using so much of the website, I wanted to have full access to everything it provided.

quote:
I became a member for many reasons, firstly I felt welcome and love the many topics that are posted for comment.

quote:
I have been enjoying the site for along time for free. I know a lot goes into making and maintaining the site and the premium is a reasonable price for all that is offered by Jguy and USguy. I have been in two LTR with Japanese men one for seven years and the current one for 13 years. This site has been informative and has helped me to understand the dynamics of these relationships. It is great to read about others experiences as well.

quote:
Well, I would like to say I find lots of sex friends here, but actually only now and then. I think I purchased the premium thing for three reasons: I want to contribute to the site because I get lots of enjoyment out of it; the new bargain rate for lifetime membership is hard to pass up; and although I enjoy the free areas a lot, I don't want to miss anything by not being a paid-up member.

quote:
I purchased a life-membership -at the then full price- because I believe in paying for services received from individuals, as both Jguy and USguy unmistakenly are.

quote:
I did not purchase premium membership per se. I don't think I would have paid for premium membership, and premium membership was not a factor in the decision to donate money. I wanted to donate money to the site for a long time, but wasn't in a financial position to do so. JguyUSguy means a lot to me, since it opened up a world of possibilities for me, and helped me realize who am I am and that who I am is something to be proud of. It really meant a lot to me at that time to know that there were lots of other guys out there just like me. As such, I wanted to contribute to the continued existence of the site so that it might help others in the same way.

quote:
Loyalty to the JguyUSguy community. I'd hate to see the site go belly-up, or for the eponymous JguyUSguys to spend all their hard-earned loot keeping it afloat.

Areas that premium guys like
We asked premium guys: What premium areas do you use most often? Why?

quote:
I like it to read all the threads and to have access to everything without restrictions. Also of course the ones with the porn links from Taddy :-)

Greetz from the Netherlands

quote:
Blush blush. I guess the porn stuff. But not so much anymore. Really, what I most wanted was the ability to post goofy pictures wherever I wanted. Bandwidth hogs R us.

quote:
I mostly use the areas with pictures. I also enjoy reading some of the groups, especially those pertaining to relationships. I will most definitely renew.

quote:
Probably the INSIDE FORUM the most?! I get to have access to all kinds of interesting information.

quote:
Well, I do enjoy the pictures now and then.

quote:
All of them actually. The threads are more interesting there because of the pics and comments.

quote:
I'm not sure if I've used any of them? Unfortunately, I don't have much free time lately, and participating actively on the site in a meaningful way is difficult given my other commitments. I'm kind of shy, anyways.

Other comments
We had said in the email that we wanted their true feedback and that we were not looking for them to flatter us. One member responded,

quote:
Damn, I was in the mood for flattery.

We also explained that we wanted to hear only from paid premium members (not the members who earned their premium status by volunteering, in this case). Here are some overarching comments premium members made about the premium areas of JguyUSguy.

quote:
Damn straight. No different from any other paid service. I pay the bucks, I get something for those bucks. Besides, you guys didn't whine when I used your site to plug my books. S'least I could do. Of course, if I were slobbery rich like some FRENCH DUDE I know, I'd be ponying up a lifetime membership. But, alas...

quote:
PS I just sent 30,000 yen to the furikomi account number I was given a while back with the intention that it should pay me up as a new permanent member (at the new bargain rate) plus a small contribution besides.

quote:
Overall I think it's great, and I'm glad I paid for the premium membership! But I was not certain whether to pay for a life long membership yet. Wanted to try it out for a while first, then decide.

One respondent was very disappointed. It seems that he expected lots more porn than is currently traded in the premium areas. You can see here that he didn't get what he expected:

quote:
No I wont be flattering - I am so disappointed in this membership. But i justify it by thinking that i am helping in a small way to keep jguysusguys alive. i have also been thinking about getting the new lifetime membership for just that reason. but i am on the fence about it Why? because what you offer in terms as to what i want is not worth going to the site and that is "Porn" i want good porn. I with you didn't offer me anything and just come right out and ask for a $$ contribution instead . its almost silly for you to say " Look what you get with a premium membership" - oh wow ! disappointment thats what i get. Do you know for instance that "Porn Tube" link/Bookmarks - does not have the links it offers in other groups? such as the Thai links. So i went and signed up ells were - plus i have two other pay sites. I think you should go all out on the porn and charge a monthly fee. What i do like - everything else.

We want members to keep in mind that we don't produce porn, and JguyUSguy is not a generalized "Asian" website.

In the premium forums, members post images and links. Some of the links will rock your world. This is content from guys who know Japan, Korea and Taiwan very well. But we don't aim to present "Asian boys." We don't know South Asia at all. We're in the north, y'see. There are commercial porn sites that offer you "Tokyo boys" and what you get are obviously Thai boys in the jungle. There is no jungle in Japan. So, if you're looking for an "Asian boy" fantasy, better to use some other site. But if you're looking to explore Japan/Korea/Taiwan male reality, you'll meet knowledgeable men in the JguyUSguy community.

Here's what you DO get in JguyUSguy premium:

members trade pictures and links
you meet members who are knowledgeable about this part of East Asia, especially Japan. They are able to distinguish Japanese material from Korean and Taiwanese, etc. But there is also material for East Asian guys interested in Western pics and links. Yes, that's right. Half of JguyUSguy members are interested in non-Japanese guys.
members inform each other about all sorts of things - sex, cruising, culture...
the Inside forum is a space where members feel free to be more open about their lives than they would be in the public areas. It's a cool space.

quote:
I want to thank you for the work you guys have done. It is an important service and more then just a site for looking at hot cute Asian boys! The issues discussed are real and important to those experiencing a different culture and relationships of all kinds across cultural lines.

quote:
Being a great admirer of Japanese guys this site has everything one could wish for, and the membership fee is very good value and well worth supporting. I greatly appreciate the hard work you guys do to keep things running.

quote:
I definitely would not renew the premium membership for the sake of having premium membership. I like just plain old JguyUSguy the way it originally was, totally free and open. But, I totally understand the huge financial burden that the site has placed on you guys, and charging for premium membership makes a lot of sense as a necessity. So, I'm not knocking you on it. But, personally, I wouldn't have paid for premium membership if it hadn't been for the reasons I explained in answer 1!

Some members will be able to get value directly out of the added access they get with JguyUSguy premium. But, if you have a busy lifestyle and won't use Inside and the porn threads, it may not be worth it. Note, though, that every respondent mentioned that they wanted to support the community. If that's your only reason for purchasing premium, go ahead! Consider the extra access as icing on the cake.

MAJOR reduction in premium rate!

Lifetime premium 56% off!

Yeah, so we did the calculation and realized that members who chose lifetime membership for $499.99 wouldn't start to see a cost benefit over the yearly $36.99 until the year 2020, which is ridiculous. (How many of us will still be sexy in 2020??)

In fact, only one member (Kazuhito fan) has purchased a lifetime membership at that rate.

Well, we decided to reduce it to $220.99 !
(around 26,000 Yen or 161 Euro or 108 British Pounds)

This kind of membership...

- pays itself off in 6 years (In other words, you'll be premium for free starting in 2013)
- gives you permanent access to all site areas and functions
- gives you a star next to your name
- supports the community more than you may realize

http://gay-japan.infopop.cc/eve/premium

Also, the lifetime $220.99 membership is the only type for which we'll accept alternative payment methods. If you prefer not to use the Groupee payment system, contact us about using PayPal, furikomi, check, or even cash.

Lifetime premium. Now 56% reduced.

Cheers,
