UPDATED 11 JAN 2020
“3MD” Membership Levels – make your choice below:
Pirate Level • NUX MadMax Level • IVAR THE BONER Viking Level • CALIGULA Roman Level
Please pick your “3MD” membership level below.
You have to pick at least the free PIRATE LEVEL plan to have any kind of access.
Scroll down all the way to make your choice.
The Pirate level is free.
It is basically the entrance level to having a Scaffies account, and do some very basic things.
You get for free:
- Contact Forms for admins, newsdesk, and Dr Radgie
- the content-, forum– and group– Overviews
- the Chat (one-on-one and groups)
- My Badges
- My Scaffies Wallet
- Questions & Answers
- the Kramtoad-to-Scaffies Transition
- access to Scaffies Merchandise & Logo Gear
- and some basics.
Everyone will initially be at the ‘Pirate’ level – and you can choose to upgrade (and later downgrade again, if you like) to any of the other levels.
P.S.: if you sign up for NUX below, you get to see the Pirate Report from which the icon picture comes (up-front bonus: if you click on the Pirate icon, you can see the entire picture of what happens to the balls of captured pirates at sea).
If you are a member who is a student, low-rank soldier (E-3 and below), low-pension senior, with no/low income, from a low-GDP country, please use the NUX “Special Considerations” plan below. Optionally, you can include a one-time-only donation on top of the monthly $5. Only use this if you are eligible for it – we have to trust your honesty. If you live in a country affected by financial sanctions thus without access to western-world credit cards, please contact the volunteer admins for a different solution – we do not want to lose you over sanctions! admin@scaffies.nl
“NUX” is the main membership type
for 90% of all previous Scaffies members.
With this $5 per month plan, nothing changes for you from what you had previously from 2013 to 2019 (except for contributing a Starbucks-coffee-worth each month to the site).
‘NUX’ [“nuts”?] is also the model we discussed at length for months, took two votes on since November 15th (and before) – even do so still: now. About NUX & NUX quotes.

The following membership types are only for those, who want to support Scaffies more – this is entirely optional. They are for the 10% of the members, who have supported Scaffies in the last six years at some level, and those who may wish to join this team of generous supporters. In return there a few select extras, and the pride badges which go with the commitment:
We have to define the levels somehow to make it work with the membership system, thus the various pricing options to accommodate all the various pledges.
The Viking level is basically what the special benefits were for all those 221 donors, who supported Scaffies financially in the first six years, and kept it going.
It has the same capabilites as ‘Nux’,
- plus the private Hard-Core Scaffies (HCS) and Extreme HCS groups – formerly known as rewards for the badged 221 Donors of the first six years
- plus exclusive access to the IVAR group
Monthly, 6 Months, or 1 Year recurring memberships.
The Roman level Power Member is a new role & level.
A few members want to go above and beyond just donating substantial cash to the community.
They want to engage on a much more intense level. You cannot express more how much you are into ballbusting than with a CALIGULA membership :)
CALIGULA Members
- add status and generosity to the ‘Ivar The Boner’ level
- plus access to special features which we will also be implementing (“Caligula’s Balls Orgy” and more)
- plus all capacities of the IVAR level
- early “word” and access to new ‘stuff’ on Scaffies
- plus exclusive access to the CALIGULA group
- plus exclusive access to the Paying Membership Directory
Monthly, 6 Months, or 1 Year recurring memberships.

You can pay with all major credit cards.
Stripe provides the embedded credit card field, which shows up here on the site. Scaffies does not (!) see the information you enter. You are only asked for the card information (which we also do not see! – of course) – no other personal info. The system handles the automatic credit to your membership level – we see nothing more than that. This is perfectly safe, millions of people use the service every day – Stripe is a major vendor in the arena. The membership service system used here is provided by PaidMembership Pro, which is used by over 80,000 other sites. It only asks you for the card information – and that works! This is the default, and it works automatically.
The memberships themselves only show up as “3MD“ (short for: Mandatory Monthly Member Donations) – we figured not everyone wants “Scaffies” to appear anywhere.
This works all fully automatic, so the volunteer admins do net get involved at all, except for customer service in case there are questions.
P.S.: one member interested in a yearly Caligula membership asked how safe Stripe is. Here is my answer:
