Yep, that seems to be the decisive factor. I've def got the content and quality -- it's just that I've noticed over the last six months that trials converting to recurring were dropping, more and more. Lots of people signing up for the trial and going IMMEDIATELY to the cancel page/button; it's as if they didn't even really look at the site -- which tells me they were returning folks who knew they could cancel and then come back in to download all the new content in a week or two OR they're evidence of the new, 'savvied,' porn shoppers; folks who swoop in via a trail, slurp up as much bandwidth as they can and then bail.

I've gotta say, with the economy as fucked up as it is right now, and everyone getting their Xmas Visa bills, etc. etc. -- it's sorta scary making this radical of a change to my sites business plan; but something tells me I just gotta do it. Ya know?

Still, I'd like to hear from more of you who dropped trials and just went with a standard mothly fee. How'd it go?
