it's like i'm begging them to take my money and they tell me it's better if they don't.

i didn't tell anyone to get it and then quit. i just said you can DL videos. i spend 3 hours a day on a train with no internet. MG comes out with vids everyday, so you usually want to keep a sub to it.


and your opinion means shit to me. you can stick it up your ass. got that, buttpuppet?

I was being serious. 100%. Why not? It's annoying to not have PayPal. If they add it I'd always go back. I mean I was going to call and ask that they bring it back, but in 10 days, if it's not there, I'll let it go for a while and see what happens. I doubt that 2 people would make them bring it back, though. I'd also like them to make it so that you can actually search on the site. If you search something that has a keyword that results in more than one page of results, if you go to the next page it just takes you all the way back to "page 2" of ALL the videos. Also this is minor, but they could fix some spelling errors. "Guilhotine"? Not a big deal, BUT I feel like they need better servers. After 100 videos their site is starting to go way slower. At least it seems that way.

Their content is 100% what keeps me on there. It's like the best pizza place in town that has 90 minute delivery speeds, but you get it because it's so good. The HD too is beautiful and the audio is great. Navigating MGinaction is 200% easier.

EDIT: Not trying to seem overly critical. But MGinaction set the bar very high and in this economy, if you're asking people to pay that kind of money and you have a corporation like RVCA helping run things, I would think some of these problems should be non-issues. I work for a web design company and lots of this stuff is actually very simple.

Nah, sticking with MGinAction for now. Especially in light of them donating $3,000 to Hurricane Sandy victims.

They just started this new teaching method with Marcelo teaching and his two black belts demonstrating. I actually like it a lot. He's been going over issues he noticed with students during the recent No Gi Worlds. It's really good stuff.

Not the videos. Look at the country the servers are located. Why have servers in Brazil if you're serving to US clients.

They are probably on some cheap shared hosting though. I'm not sure how or where the videos are hosted, but they are pretty fast.

well, that's great, then. i was afraid i was going to be the only sod left without their stuff. i think we'll be better off just sending them emails, making sure they know they're losing business over something this stupid. and they are losing it over nothing.

yeah, there are some bugs. haven't felt it that problematic because i check it out daily and watch every video hours after it's been uploaded, so i rarely search. but i can see how that can be annoying.

exactly!! everything about the actual content is splendid. the quality of both audio and video is great and rafa's instruction is brilliant. almost every single video i've watched has given me at least one "a-ha!" moment. i know people say you can't compensate actual mat time, but i'm telling you. some of the details i've seen him show have really helped me out in the last month, especially with passing.

what drives me mad about this situation is that i know how these things are setup. i'm a webdeveloper, i've done my fair share of paypal integrations into websites. you need a form and a landing page. the landing page is where paypal lets your servers know someone paid for their shit so you can extend their subscription.

for them to say "we don't accept paypal anymore because now we have credit cards" means that someone developed a new landing page for the call-backs of whatever service is handling their credit card payments and removed their paypal landing page. and this is all invisible to customers, this is just code running on the server, somewhere in the back. instead of extending it to include credit cards as well, someone actually took enough time to disable paypal. the blame either lies on the developer (which i doubt), or whoever is managing them and is clueless about how internet trade works. i'm actually thinking of offering my help to develop a system that can handle both, free of charge. i'll even keep paying for the damn content, as long as they let me do it, the bastards.

it is kind of like a clerk at a convenience store telling you they don't handle cash anymore because before, some people wanted to pay with credit cards. so now it's credit card only. you're literally begging the man to take your money for their great stuff and they refuse to, for no conceivable reason. it pisses me off.
