    How much validaty is there in Visa's threat to cut recurring memberships?

    Not that there won't be solutions.

    I am very curious since I know I am prepared with Pay-Per=Minute and Pay-Per-View technology.

    Are you?

    www.Prodinix.com is the cure.

          Doubt it, the adult industry aren't the only people who use rebills.

                i would have to think that AOL recurring and adult membership recurrings are a little different from one another,no?

                      Call it what you want to call it, this is a simple business thread that got three interested people contacting me already, how is it that you get your business??

                      Oh i see, you don't believe in marketing huh?

                      SPAM is good.

                        Only in the eyes of Visa, not in the eyes of the law.

                        This is a pretty creative way to spam your products....however,

                        1)I wasn't aware that Visa made any such threat.

                        2) If they tried to pull the plug on recurring for us but left it in tact for any other merchant(s) we would have serious grounds to file suit, there would be an injunction and business would continue as usual until the lawsuit went through the court system (2 years at least)

                            SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                              You call this thread marketing? I call it fearmongering.

                              The little respect I gained for you in your previous threads about buying out programs etc is gone now.

                                    Actually I've been hearing this buzz since last year w/ little real facts. Not to say that there isn't some truth to it, but one of these years, some webmaster, or adult media company will start a bank, or someway to do business, and BAM,... another solution.

                                    Let's face it, no matter what people do, the adult industry always has, and always will find a work around as long as their are horny lonely folk.

                                    Should You Email Your Members?

                                    Link1 | Link2 | Link3

                                                  Visa has talked about doing that many times. I think that in the long run, they will find that it is not in their best interest to do it.

                                                    I've never said anything on a message board that I wouldn't say in person.

                                                    I only do business with people that I like and respect.
                                                    You fail both tests, therefore I would never do business with you in any way, shape, or form.
                                                    You don't have to be brave for that.

                                                    I'll ask again.....what's your source for Visa cutting recurring memberships or did you make it up?

                                                    Also you seem to have conveniently ignored my post about the lawsuit that we would most definitely file and the injunction that we would most definitely get if Visa were to stop allowing us to rebill.

                                                    Since that would be tied up for years in court the need for products like yours wouldn't be so urgent....that would be a good reason for you to ignore that post wouldn't it? Then you wouldn't be able to pull your chicken little bullshit in order to drum up business.

                                                              THREAD TITLE - How much validity is there in Visa's threat to cut recurring memberships?

                                                              According to your title the threat HAS BEEN MADE by Visa and you're asking whether or not they'll follow through with it.

                                                              MORON

                                                              So my question is who at Visa did you hear the threat from because none of us knew there was a threat until you told us.

                                                              Oh, and its "hearsay"....if you're going to call someone a moron in a post the least you could do is spell check it.
                                                              Something I read once about the speck in your friends eye and the log in your own.

                                                                The fear that stopping recurring membershipas would harm this business shows the lack of faith you have in your product and the industry you work in.

                                                                We are no longer a new baby, with people seeing us for the first time. 95% or even more of the surfers going through the adult Net have been there before. An even higher percentage of the buyers have been here before.

                                                                so we are not living off a one time impulse buy, we live off repeat customers who think $1 a day for a good porn experience is good value. If they can only join for a month some will rebill at the end and others will move onto the next porn site. Which will lead to more buyers looking for a new site to join.

                                                                Porn consumers buy on a regular basis, they are not impules buys. Surfers as young as 14 are surfing the adult net for years before they make their first purchase. And the belief that someone joins up and the recur month after month because they forgot is stupid.

                                                                How many guys would do that on an impulse buy and then not charge back at the end? How many sites do you think he joins before he notices all these monthl charges for $30?

                                                                The end of recurring billing would not be the end of the business, but it might be the end of retards who think a sign up is a fluke and a rebill a mistake.

                                                                  According to your title the threat HAS BEEN MADE by Visa and you're asking whether or not they'll follow through with it.

                                                                  MORON

                                                                  So my question is who at Visa did you hear the threat from because none of us knew there was a threat until you told us.

                                                                  Oh, and its "hearsay"....if you're going to call someone a moron in a post the least you could do is spell check it.
