Where did you find the money? I'm guessing most of you with IPB boards are adults who don't have to convince your parents to use credit cards etc. over the internet. I'm thinking of starting a business if I move to IPB in order to pay for it.

I cleaned the garage.

I bought it from saved birthday money.

I pay monthly (Paypal/Solo) with IPS Hosting and tend to scrounge around on streets for money.

Visa

Sounds like fun. In fact I do that all the time.

saved my allownce for ever (I get 20 USD a month) lucky when I got the year it was on sale

Bought my yearly License with my mastercard plan on renewing it with the same card

I sold a kidney and my right little toe.

They're on my mantlepiece now :-"

the powers of VISA

The community don't want to see the picture I have above my mantlepiece of you... :-"

The first two were paid for with money for website design for the respective sites, the third was with money in my bank.

Paid with NOCHEX / SOLO

It's strange you have that above your mantlepiece.. your poor parents!

Donations received for open source projects.

Isn't that abuse? :-"

Bought a lifetime licence back when 2.0 was released with my own cash I saved. Paid via PayPal.

Pay?

Rub it in STAFFER! lol

One of my Administrators on my site bought the license while on sale, and gave it to me as a sorta "early birthday" present. Gotta love good friends like that.

I give kudos to my parents.

And then another kudos, to Ross.

(waits for a non-customer to post his/her way of purchasing )

Visa or Mastercard.. I can't remember!

IPS staff personal servant for-the-day. It wasn't pretty

Just kidding. Visa.

A marvellous thing called a job.

Selling tacos.

havent gotten an allowence from mommy and daddy in about 17 years.

I forgot to mention HOW I paid. I had worked a few hours overtime and I had saved a bit of it.

Now I'm looking at blog, then MAYBE a perpetual license.

Money from my own pocket/bank account, via paypal. How that money got there was allowance, birthday, etc.

Anyone wanna donate so I can get perpetual?

I have more than enough money (about $2,000 saved up over eight years), but my parents don't want me buying things over the Internet, no matter how hard I try to convince them that https:// = secure.

Shouldn't that be liquor?

And why are your parents so lost regarding the web? Have you tried to educate them?

Exactly.

But back in the days when I was a customer, I paid for it with PayPal. Money came from my web development projects.

I gave Charles some personal favors.

Dont have the cash yet, but im working through some web design for charity groups (who insist on paying for all expenses and a small builders fee), Unfortunately, the board cant figure out why they would need IPB, and I cant make myself say "You dont, i do...but you can pay for it..."

I had enough money recently, but I had to (yes had) to upgrade my 4 and 1/2 yr old POS computer. So I used my IPB money to build a new system (and w00t was it worth it :D:D). But im very close to having enough for a yearly license

Well, I kidnapped Matt and held him ransom. I was hoping for $1mil, but all I got was this lousy IPB license.



Money order with the money saved up from allowances, bought during the 2.0 sale.

Same. Well... I pay with my Visa/debit card, but I do hosting as well. Leased license, very reasonable. The hosting isn't bad, not bad enough to where I'd go looking for cheaper hosting and have to worry about a yearly or perpetual license. Especially since my board's just for fun, not making me any money.

Are you kidding? I paid $400 for them to go to a computing class for three weeks, and what did they get out of it? How to turn on a computer. They are completely illiterate when it comes to computers.

But it doens't matter anymore; I finally bought IPB

I hijacked the Dickie Dee.

I sell my self to get IPB ahh okey, the first time i buyed IPB 1 year license i sell my 512 Kingstone HyperX PC3000.

The second i buyed IPB was for life, the i have spend it up in that year of my other license...

Ps. I still miss my 512KHX

Just had the money in my paypal account from skins that I had made.

No, why?

Pay? Who pays for this stuff...

Visa card

How I paid is that I ordered 2 credit cards and ran up a$1200 in debt, in the process of doing so I ordered IPB, the gallery, and the blog.

I'd assume all the people who still use InvisionFree, Forumer, the trial versions, etc.

I was kidding, myself being a customer and all...

I have a donation option I hope I get the money via donations (see my sig), so that I can buy a license via Paypal .

Oh, yeah, me too! :-"

I paid for mine with my own money, but brought in enough donations throughout the year from my PayPal Donate link and Google Ads to make that money back, plus pay for my year of hosting.

AJ

I started my own web design business (in my siggy) because I am only 13 and cannot go out to work and get money.
