Update system for member areas

I had a thought... Im not sure if anyone has done this or is doing this, but it seems like a good idea. Please give me your opinions on this. pros, cons.

Say you are just starting a brand new site with 16 episodes in the member area and updating with a new episode every week.

In this case, you would be adding a 17th episode after 1 week, 18th episode in 2 weeks and so on... Therefor, if someone were to signup for the site 4 months after it opens, they are going to see 32 episodes in the member area. Where the guy who signed up the first week open only saw 16 episodes.

Why not just have a system that makes the surfers/members see the same 1-16 episodes no matter when they signup. Then 1 week later #17 is available, week 2 #18, and so on...

So now, if member A signs up today, in 4 months he see's 32 episodes. When member B signups up in 4 months, he only sees 16 episodes. It's like a linear process, one members user/pass will show diff amounts of content in the member area when you login.

If nothing else, this would be great for sites with limited updates. Say you only have 50 scenes for your site, you start with 16... in 34 weeks you are going to run out of updates. So your later members are going to think you gave up on updating. Whereas with this method, you would be good to go for 34 weeks of updates no matter when a member signed up. That's 8 months of updates to keep your surfer happy. Not many last that long anyhow.



Sorry soooo looooooong~!
