I have an idea...people are so used to looking at these pretty tours with all flashy graphics. Do it all in ASCII instead! They'll whip out their wallets and spend the moon!

Oh, to the OP: Your idea is interesting but just not sure it'd work. I think ultimately everyone is fighting for the tiny percentage of people who have never been to a tube, piracy forum, torrent, rapidshare, etc. OR who haven't specifically seen what you've got on those sites yet and it's soo good that they have to pay for it. I think if someone went to a forum and saw they had to register to even see the pictures, most of them would go "fuck this" and go elsewhere. It's not like several years back where "register for free!" was a big deal. Now people are bombarded with sites that want them to register for free. I think you'd have to give them SOMETHING just so they know they'll like what more they'll see if they registered.

As for the whole "make porn cheaper" argument, I can see both sides of the coin...on one hand, if you find someone who's going to pay for porn, they're probably not the type to go "jesus christ, $30? I don't think so!" On the other hand, the kings of "holy fucking shit get your fucking wallet out right now for this shit!" are successful infomercials, and their price points are almost always $10 or $20. I realize different things warrant different prices, but the economy sucks, more and more people have likely either been burned online or have had memberships to things that they've forgotten to cancel and see the additional charges on credit card and flip out.

I'm just a surfer - not in this biz except to sell domains to you all, but that's just my take on it...just because big players aren't right now doing particular price points doesn't mean they wouldn't work right now. I'd also like to note that while it's a cam site, MFC's most basic token package is $20 and they're tearing shit up right now. That doesn't even buy you much that you're not already getting and they still hook people in. For the $10 price level, a good hook IMO would be that for the cost of a movie ticket, you're getting X amount of videos, images, etc.
