Not getting a penny from me, I'm too cheap!

How is everyone?

I haven't heard a peep here what's going on guys?

Shlogging away, I think I'm ~30 days in

He definitely is! LTI's tenacity is literally the stuff of legends. Follow his thread from the beginning, it's like reading a biography of a marine or SEAL. He didn't take no for an answer and kept "shlogging" (whatever that means...but it sounds like an onomatopoeia...) and look where he is today!

A real inspiration to me and many others! I'm coming after you!

I will be paying 166 - that is so much easier than saying "I fell," "I acted out," or even "I watched porn/masturbated."
I would almost rather pay double if it got me out of figuring out how to say it.
As far as recommitting, I am also a little hesitant, seeing how futile the situation is, although something about Hakolhevel's reluctance to recommit is making me want to do it just to show that I can (even though I clearly cannot).

You may be able to do it, I'm not commiting not because I'm giving up but because it's not the solution for me. Hopefully it is for you.

FUnny, when I acted out I was thinking of just paying without posting here becausbecause I was to embarrassed, I guess my post reflected my embarresment.

Maybe we can do something else for guys who fall more than two or three times?

Like less money, or shorter time or less money if they called someone first etc, whatever would make sense for each person?

Just an idea what do you guys think?

@Moish what are the stats ? Who’s still in etc.
we only hear about the guys falling we need some positive news..
I am(myself guilty of that)
B”H still going strong slipped a few times with inappropriate touching but stopped.shortly after.

A cumulative amount of clean days would also be nice to know even if guys fell out they still contributed 

I think your correct maybe a tiered system would work better, it seems that the cash payments are scaring people away from the challenge , when the whole purpose of it is to motivate people to not fall .

I understand that some of the concept of the challenge won't be achieved with this idea. Nevertheless I will present it. Please share your opinion.

How about changing the idea to custom challenges. Meaning anyone can customize their own challenge with their own objective and punishment, instead of it being a group challenge with specific rules and guidelines.

Sounds like a great idea…It kind of sounds like the whole Gye site in simpler terms, would it become redundant this way ?

I hear your point. Although this can serve as the thread for accepting challenges and punishments...with the camaraderie of others joining with their own.

Sounds like you may be on to something..

Cordnoy if you are reading, please note how I avoided using the b word.

I've spent money on fallin'; ca$h payments would not prevent me from fallin'.

I hear you, for me it wasn’t about the money & more about doing something together with others. 

What we can do (and this won't help for firs timers who are scared off) is say that in order to join, the initial fine for a fall remains in place and if someone want's to rejoin after a fall they can negotiate. This will make it different.

We may also make a smaller amount for bachurim who don't have an income.

Just my thoughts.
