Adult has been in our rut so long that we aren't really going out and seeing how people are interacting and demanding their products, so we are using the same old same old and wondering why things have changed. The demographic of the users of the internet is NOTHING like what it was 5 or even 10 years ago, and the kids that are now legal to buy porn and grew up with a lot of net savvy just aren't doing things the way their predecessors did.
That's part of it, sure, but alot of these sites I'm talking about still have the same amount of visitors, but those same visitors are not buying as much as they used to. It's not as though all of these surfers have moved on to other mediums and I'm still trying to use the old medium to attract them.

So while all of the stuff you mentioned is important, and is the future, it doesn't change the fact that the economic downturn has put a big dent in people's discretionary income, and that more than anything is what's hurting our sales right now.
