PORN, meaning pre-made photos and videos, not live shows etc. They want more of this girl or more of that girl, to do this or to do that - that's what real members are asking for.
Sure having some interactivity would never hurt, but it's not going to change much either. If your entire member area is ripped and available for free to download from pornbb or empornium, having a fancy-wancy interactive website is not going to bring your lost sales back.
PORN is the main attraction for surfers, not live cams not interaction whatever. Sure some of them love live cams, but not the whole lot. If you think that is not so try making an free site with lots of intercation and zero free porn, and a site with lots of free porn and zero interaction, and then see what happens, which one of the two surfers will start flocking to. No need to waste your time though because we all know the answer.
Fighting piracy is the only way to bring our lost sales back, everything else is a waste of time and resources.

by your comments in this thread, with all due respect have no idea what interaction is. And yes I have run my own websites before and dealt with customers. Interaction doesn't just consist of "live cams" there is soo much more to it. How would you know if it works or not, you basing all of this off of receiving emails from members "looking for porn". How do you know if you added the right kind and amount of interaction to your site if the members would eat it up or not. You don't know, you never tried. You are just making assumptions and missing it.
If you really believe " Fighting piracy is the only way to bring our lost sales back " then you might as well unplug your server now and walk away. Fightng them is a waste of time, you are delusional if you think you going to win or stop it or hell even slow it down. Making changes and adapting to it is the only chance you have. The only thing you can accomplish by fighting them is what steve is doing and that is nickle and diming the ones you can, that you catch watching you stolen content. that is it.
