I don't see myself implementing other payment platforms... And really, what I meant was, we're cutting ourselves from underage users and people from countries where PayPal and other systems are a problem, like Russia from what I've heard.

There is that to it, sure. But if the payment system can sanely support other platforms, why not?

The paid subs system needs a rethink because unless a payment provider supports something that's basically PayPal IPN, it's almost impossible to support properly.

(I'm aware that SMF's SVN had two other payment provider modules in it. I'm not sure what state these were in but I don't believe they've been BSD'd, so it's not even as if we can ship with those.)
When we unite against a common enemy that attacks our ethos, it nurtures group solidarity. Trolls are sensational, yes, but we keep everyone honest. | Game Memorial

They've certainly not been battle tested the way others have, but the main reason for lack of inclusion was that they're not really up to date - and if they're not maintained for that reason, they're probably not maintained in other ways too.

Yes, no need to report bugs that only show up on Wedge.org and not on the Wedge demo site, because obviously Wedge.org will soon be running Wedge itself... (As you can see from the new demo site I posted on the Friends board.)

My parents live in France (Brittany for those that want to know specifics) and have no end of problems with PayPal and other online payment services - they have no house number (small rural community and such ;) ), and most online payment services insist on receiving a house number, and there are many that "auto-locate" their address and get it completely wrong because their address has accents in that are left off the auto-locate services...
