But that doesn't make it good for paysites.... actually, it's a pile of shit when it comes to content management. Something could be made for it to make it easier, but it wouldn't be based on any part of the core cms.

Small sites (content wise) do great on it, a site with a large amount of content, would be downgrading by using wordpress.

Your cms sounds fine, you don't need crazy features, it needs to be crazy ass simple. I've worked with every major cms in our Industry, and the one thing I miss is stupid simple!
Thank you.

It can have any feature the user requires, just need programming in. We thought if we write them all in it becomes more confusing, more pricey and less suitable for most sites and webmasters.

I'm expecting the simple version to come in at a price that everyone whose serious should be able to afford. $1500 isn't much for a one off payment for this type of solution.
I use ours everyday and it was originally written to handle the $5 sites, with magic join links.

3000+ sets or videos.
1,000 domains
With revolving banners so each site we wanted to promote would be promoted within the site, the member was viewing. Plus the mother sites.
Managed under one system and content could be on one or every one of the domains.

Speaking basically, we would enter in the details of all the domains, one off job or update as we build. Then as I add content I would import, from our original DB, the details of every scene, models and attributes then decide what site it would be listed on and when.

As the idea of the $5 sites never took off we had a CMS we didn't need and stuck Astral Blue on it. Is it time to change that I wonder and launch $5 sites.

With of course the magic join links for the clowns.

Elevated X is $650 for the first month and $150 a month afterwards, are the prices tied or can be raised lowered in the future? Our CMS at $1500 would be less than the first years payment for Elevated X $2300 for the first year.
