This will replace the current, more complicated PayPal system. I hope to have the site rebooted and "changed over" within the week.

Please bear with me while I figure something out. PayPal purchases are not affected.

So the funding of Bitpass accounts has been disabled, but customers have through next week to clean out their accounts, so I'll be leaving the Bitpass links up temporarily. Bitpass, one of the two payment methods at Telltale.

I've also received word from customers that Bitpass has instituted "maintenance fees" on the remaining balances of customer accounts. If this has happened to you, contact me.

I'm sorry to put customers through this. I've had few complaints with the Bitpass service until now. ]]> alex 2007-01-20T15:20:50-05:00 The Outcasts of Poker Flat http://www.telltaleweekly.org/audiobooks/2006/12/the_outcasts_of_poker_flat.php
