It is largely quiet, but you do here from customers now and again. And usually it was about how shitty the website was (not sure how it is now).

It's $20 per subscriber, so perhaps it balances out the low subscriber count. However, it can't be cheap running that site. I'm not a financial or technical expert, but off the top of my head…

Again, I'm no expert, but if you ask me, the only way I can see this site continuing past the next few years is if the people running that site partially pay these monthly costs with their own funds. And that might not be feasible, depending on their financial situation.

But someone had to create that super-complicated anti-piracy method that makes art incredibly difficult to steal. Did MifMaf do that himself, or did he hire an expert programmer to write that code?
>Dunno about the admins pockets but the site has run pretty long like it is.
All the secrecy makes it hard to determine just how well they're doing, but since been around for 4 years, they've been doing okay. Again, though, how long can this really last?

>The lifespan of a paysite is an interesting topic but we know very little to tackle it.
Yeah, without enough information, we have no clue how well TCP's doing. Even a few details would be very revealing - MifMaf and RocketManatee's personal financial situations, monthly subscriber counts, graphs, etc.
All this secrecy tells me that they don't want you to know the details, which, in my opinion, means one of two things (or both, even):
1. They're incredibly incompetent and/or want to prevent anything embarrassing from being revealed.
2. They're secretly profiting greatly from barely doing any work (I.E. only a tiny number of images released per month).
#2 reminds me, though: Given the variety of artists working on the site, you would think they would all contribute at least 1 image per month. But, if OP's "1 image per two weeks" is true, then that means artists are lazy/too busy with real life stuff.
If the admins took their responsibilities seriously, they'd message the artists, saying something like:

According to Carnival Tricks, I think it was answering to a comment on FA, artists are required at least one image per month now,

Ah, well, at least now you're paying $20 per month for a dozen images instead of 2. But the lack of communication is still a problem, if that's still happening.
From what I can tell, the art produced by TCP artists aren't so special that they need to be locked behind a paywall. I've heard suggestions that it should instead be a per-artist subscription, where you pay to only see the work made by artists that you like, That does sound preferable to $20 for differing art styles and possibly end up being a mixed bag.
I would try subscribing for 3 months and see if I could get any images, but I really don't want to spend $60 for a gallery whose work I can't easily save. Plus, I don't know how to use the script shown here: >>1344

I kind of see the per-artist subscription like this: You could spend a few bucks here and there for the ones you want, or pay a fairly large sum for all of it. The large sum for everything would be cheaper than individually subscribing to all of them.
For instance, you could subscribe to individual artists for, say, $3 per month, per artist. Or, you could pay $20 per month for all the artists, which is cheaper than individually subscribing to everyone ($36 for a dozen artists).
That, I think, would be a far easier pill to swallow for a lot of people.

I wrote that as a C# source file, you could get its corresponding exe file from pasting it in something like Visual Studio and compiling it.
Once it's compiled into a .exe you basically just put all your images into a folder and run the program from command line or a batch file with the directory as its command line argument.
I didn't post a link to a compiled version since I doubted anyone would trust an exe from a random internet stranger though I guess I can later.
It literally just goes through each file in the folder you specify, opens it as an image file (will crash if you have non-images in there probably), and then increments every even pixel value by one (i.e. 254 becomes 255, 14->15, etc). This makes the least significant bit plane pure white which is the same as erasing all of the information hidden in the LSB plane.
If cushypen wanted though they could change up the watermarking like simply moving it to the LSB plane of the red channel and anyone using the program would be fucked anyway.
I might make a fancier version that creates a subfolder containing all of the least significant bit planes for each image so you can check to see if your images were dirty to begin with and also to check if your converted images are clean after.

LSB is just a quick way to say Least Significant Bit.
In color images you have 3 channels: Red, Green, and Blue. Each channel is a greyscale image that when multiplied by its color and then combined with the other channels creates your full color image.
Each channel is basically a big matrix of values where each value corresponds to how intense the value of pixel is (0 for full black, 255 for full white and then you have everything in between for various shades of grey).
Now if you know how binary numbers work you know that for an arbitrary number like 123 you can convert it to its binary representation (01111011). What this means for an image is that each pixel value of the greyscale image can be converted to binary as well, which converts your one image of values 0-255 to 8 images of value 0 to 1.
Just like in binary each image contributes to the final value in powers of 2, like for the previous value of 123 (01111011) its 0*2^7 + 1*2^6 + 1*2^5 + … + 1*2^0. So the rightmost bit in this case is the Least Significant Bit and it only contributes a max value of 1 to the number while the leftmost in this case can contribute 128.
What cushy pen did was make it so that the LSB plane of the blue channel contains your IP/username by making it full white and then writing down the info in black. You don't notice anything since just like with a binary number, the least significant bit can only change the final number by 1 at most, which out of 255 is not noticable.
My previous image shows a bit plane decomposition of the blue channel of a cushypen image.

There would be a very large number of methods that would work, it's quite a simple watermarking method, though if I were to do it I would probably have the program open the image, grab its blue channel, make every pixel value odd (full white LSB) and then subtract a black/white image containing the user's info.
The user info image can easily be generated by the program as well.
The thing about this watermarking method is that it is heavily unreliable. Due to the fact that the LSB contributes so little to the final image, it immediately gets destroyed during the lossy portion of JPG's file creation. Even at max JPG quality the LSB gets modified a lot.
With this in mind the only reason people have gotten banned so far is their love of .png or they've gotten unlucky with their full quality JPGs.

Well there aren't many options and I guess it's kind of useless since the only people with access to the program that removes the watermarks would also have access to the program that removes whatever new watermarking method he decides on since I find it fun to sort of reverse-engineer them.
Like if he switches to wavelet or fourier domain watermarking it may be a bit more complex to remove though basically any watermark that's impossible to see with the human eye gets demolished by jpg compression anyway.

Drunk, and I'm hungry for some quality art. In particular, RM, Crinkleken, and KK Bunny's shit interests me quite a bit. I guess some other artists have shit on there, like Carotte and Pink Diapers, but I don't expect much from them. The first three's siteripped shit really makes me think the potential's there for some art that gets me going, and I just spent the money while I'm inebriated.
Bottom line: I'm fucking drunk, feeling good, and have that defeatist attitude that the fucking site is apparently doing well enough that it's not fucking going away so the only way to see those artists' work is to wait 2-5 years or whatever for a rip, or to just pay some money I can realistically afford for hopeful access to the archive and new stuff.

At a glance, it seems like I've got access to a bunch of shit. At the end of the day, I could do without all the furry shit, and of course I'm only getting whatever the artists choose to put out, rather than a commission, but whatever.

I can offer help with how to run that program. Right click on the executable and create a shortcut to desktop. Go to the new shortcut and right click it and go into properties. Look at the target, it should be something like "C:/derp/executable.exe". Just append the full folder directory to that so it should look like "C:/derp/executable.exe" "C:/derp/diapers".
I don't have much experience with C#, but basically it takes the input (this case "C:/derp/diapers") and assumes it's a directory path. A folder's filepath is just the path to that folder.

I wrote that file, to compile it you actually need to use a compiler for C# like Visual Studio or your own preferred IDE, I could compile it though who would trust a random .exe from an internet stranger.
Pasting it into notepad and saving as .exe will do nothing, it actually has to be compiled.
From there using it is fairly simple, you just make a batch file that contains whatever the .exe is named (in my case it was CushyPatch.exe) and then a space and then the directory path in quotes.
e.g. CushyPatch.exe "C:\AllMyWeirdPorno"
This will take every file in that directory and attempt to patch it, if there are subfolders or non-image files it will most likely crash since I didn't add error checking.
If it really improves my odds of getting better fap material I may write a GUI version of this so anyone can figure it out.
Overall though my program is unnecessary unless you REALLY want lossless images. If you're okay with jpg then just save it as quality 11 in Photoshop and boom no watermark, the lossy compression removes the watermark's bit plane since it's not noticable by the human eye.

I'm not sure on the details myself, but I know that the major movie studios have the technology to embed watermarks in the audio and video which can survive lossy re-encoding and even recording in the cinema using a camera. At the most basic level the trick is to duplicate the information enough times that some copies will always survive, although that redundancy may be created using fancy maths (as is done with RAID).
>Sure. What do you mean by installing binaries?
Well, if it was a python script you'd need to install the python interpreter and Python Imaging Library. If you're on linux those were probably bundled with your OS, but on mac/windows you'll need to install them separately.

Drunk anon here. Sorry about blueballing, but haven't paid much attention to the site so not too much to say. Perhaps that says something about how much it's worth it.
Anyway, did a three-month stint. I'll find out in a couple of months if it was money well-spent.
It doesn't look like there's any pics that are being held off from me, so if everything is available, I can say I expected more to be here since the last leak. In total, I guess there's a decent amount, but unless you're into furry, male, AND female, all three, it doesn't seem like it's worth it. If you're in it for a few artists, or a specific subset of art, there's not much.
I remember looking at the update archive. From what I can recall, in the past there have been as few as 7 new pics in a month, and as many as 21 or so in one month.
In the forums I saw a member list. I think there were around 300 members, some of which were recognizable names around DA and FTT. Don't know if they are all current subscribers, since I imagine it's possible that they could have stopped paying but still have their names there.

The full archive could just be hidden until you've been subscribed for long enough. I can't really say for sure, though.

Oh yeah it was mostly site stuff. I think there were a few about upcoming livestreams.
That's something to note, actually. A number of the artists do livestreams will do requests during them, presumably at random and only if the request is the kind of art they normally do. You can commission them to finish the piece after the fact and discuss the price then. It remains a sketch otherwise. I guess this isn't new info as the previous leaks listed some pics as stream requests or whatever they were called. I don't know if that means most of the finished art by certain artists such as RM or KK Bunny are simply commissions or what, but if that's the case then I'm not sure how I feel about that. Unless it really is worth it in a couple of months, I feel like a chump paying just to access other people's commissioned works/paying for the opportunity to commission an artist. That concept just has "scam" written all over it. Again, we'll see.

You haven't actually refuted anything. You've just made vague accusations of ignorance without specifying why any of what I wrote was wrong. In fact, every response I have received has been entirely lacking in substance.
>>7857 was implying that because a single image takes a long time to draw, it should cost a lot of money to look at it. That is "economically ignorant" as you put it because it ignores the fact that an arbitrarily large number of people can view an image without depleting it in any way. His argument would be valid if he was talking about the price of physical paintings on canvas, but pixels are fundamentally different. I also pointed out that commissions for specific pieces are different, and that you should expect to pay more for those because you are effectively the only customer.

At no point was that implied and at no point should it have been inferred.
A single image takes time and skill to make, therefore it should cost money to have it made as time is a finite resource belonging to the artist. The key here is that you are paying for its creation, not its viewing.

If the question had been
>Why does it cost this much to commission cartoon porn?
then your objections would be valid.
As it stands, I had every reason to infer that he was saying that it should cost a lot to view, since the thread is about Cushy Pen and you don't need to commission a new piece every time you want to fap.

Drunk anon here. This site is throwing me off a bit. Looking through the previous posts, I swear I'm seeing shit I didn't see before, which is bittersweet. I'm happy to get more shit, but I'm also irritated that they're still holding off shit from me. Furthermore, I've not been notified in any way whatsoever what new shit's been released to me. It could just be that I didn't remember any of it, but it really seems more likely that there are pics being held off. For example, according to the site, there are pics that were published and included in the last siterip, yet pages of that RM flight comic which were released earlier were not in the rip. I'm just not getting how it works.
But anyway since I've joined there's been a roughly even mix between female, male, and furry shit. It seems like female has been the least, but that might be because that's the only shit I like. According to the archives, 29 submissions in June, 27 in July, and 7 so far in August.
One quick note is that it seems that if there are previous submissions that are gradually being revealed to me, they don't include certain artists. For example, while looking through past submissions I haven't noticed any new Rocket Manatee or KK Bunny pics. Whether they're being held off even longer or they're just exempted from the gradual-release thing, I don't know.
Apologies for being lazy with this. For the time being, that's it. For what it's worth, the gradually-released shit, assuming it was actually gradually-released, hasn't made me much happier with the site.

If you don't understand any of these steps, just google "how to [x] in windows" or something.
First, open up a terminal window. You can usually find this in Start->accessories->command prompt or something similar. You should see a black box with blinking cursor in it.
Now, there are a few commands which let you navigate around your system.
cd some_directory takes you into that folder.
dir lists the files and folder in the current folder.
cd .. takes you up to the folder above the current one.
You should see the current directory next to your cursor in the terminal window, like
C:\some\directory>_
Use these commands to navigate to the place where you saved the script. It probably helps to save the image in the same folder.
Now type:
python lsb_cleaner.py imagename.png
substituting the filenames for whatever you saved stuff as.

Let's say you have a bunch of images in C:\data\cushypenrip and you want to clean them.
If you give it the command
>python batch_lsb_cleaner.py C:\data\cushypenrip
then it will create clean copies of each image in that folder called "clean_xxx.png" where "xxx.png" was the original filename and extension.
If you create a new folder, C:\data\cushypenrip_clean, and give it the command
>python batch_lsb_cleaner.py C:\data\cushypenrip C:\data\cushypenrip_clean
then it will put those copies into the new folder instead of the old one.

The fact that there wasn't anything new from him in this leak and his name is gone from the profile page confirms at the very least that he's not part of the site anymore. Whether he's gone because he was booted, decided to leave, or some other reason is up in the air until mifmaf or someone else on the site confirms it.

If you read the rest of the thread such a system dosn't sound far fetch for them.
The biggest issue that people have with the site is the fact that most people don't want to pay for content they don't like therefore they won't see so blacking it out could work as a sedative but still is a terrible idea to not give people a choice on what they want to see.

Actually, a lot of effort goes into ways to prevent people from viewing content they've paid for. That's the main function of DRM. It's easier to torrent videos than it is to get them playing off legally purchased DVDs or blue-ray disks.

Story time!
Once upon a time, way back in August 2010, a young lad named Mifmaf saw that KK Bunny/Kit Kiama was getting some attention with his "shark week" onesie pictures and decided that "By golly, I want some of that attention too!" So he drew a young lass named Gabby with a big round padded orca booty. And it was good.
Flash forward to January 2011 and the orcadiaper is the new hotness around the Halfchan diaper threads. Pretty soon we had a writefag working on a story and the Japs pushing out new orcadiaper pics by each passing day. Things were looking up, hell they even got /cgl/ to discuss on how to make one of these suits.
Alas, things were not to be, and all that attention went to young Mif's head. The orcadiaper fad died down, glorious nippon stopped producing arts, the writefag disappeared, we never got even a prototype of a suit, and despite overwhelming negative feedback and pleas not to, Mifmaf started a paysite for his and other artist's diaper art, which we know now as The Cushy Pen.
Fortunately, Gabby lived on through Mif's art on the cushy pen. Unfortunately, due to Mif being a demented brony furfag, she was made into a pony. Proving that Bronies ruin everything.
However, a few months ago, someone actually made a orcadiaper suit for a halloween party. God bless that deviant motherfucker.
