I run a reasonable successful forum, with 17,000+ members. The key to turning over coin is to make sections subscriber only.
Due to the nature of my site, the uses are as tight as they come, but by giving them an email address (no storage limits), avatar, subscriber lounge and some other options. The site makes £6 per subscriber per year or £15 per subscriber for a one off lifetime payment.
Now I know this is not much in the adult business, but in if you think about it logically the above features really cost nothing and other sites are giving them away for free.
My advice is to offer your members something that none paying don?t have and you will get people wanting those features.
