Been away for a week or so and good to see an interesting thread.
It is cheering to us as well as it says a lot of things we thought when starting our site a couple of years back. Why do people want to join a site when for month after month when they can download it all in the first day?
So we made the join fee high $20 but the rejoin cheap $10 for 3 months... or they could join for non recurring 3, 6, or 12 months so that they could leave the files on our site instead of having them on their home/work/priests computer.
Surprisingly a lot of people join for more than the cheapest rate.
On the quality / quantity debate ...the demand for updates and quantity has made a race for the bottom both on content and quality.
I think punters don't want 100s hours they want really hot girls shot really well.
High Definition cameras are modern and very good but there is no high definition on the internet, Hell there is no standard definition on the internet.

Blu Ray is a compressed High Definition format and it needs 12 gig an hour. HD is a sales ploy - be honest.
We make less content but better, choose just the most beautiful girls, put them in a short erotic film, light it well, put some good music, say 5.1 sound...
where they going to get that on a tube site ?
