Deluxe Pass - not good

This membership was purchased FIVE HOURS ago and is still not working. The fact that the username will be active within FIVE MINUTES is clearly stated on the confirmation page.

Paid via Paypal and received password. Not working.

Contacted them via ICQ. No response.

Requested a password reminder 5 times in the past 5 hours. Nothing received.

It's just lovely how quickly the money is taken from a subscriber's account, but how slowly everything else takes place. What? Is the whole system broken or something?

Worsening conversion ratios are bad enough, and with porn being mostly a "spare of the moment" purchase, I'm not too convinced that many surfers would act so impulsively the next time a paysite membership is dangled in front of their nose.

I understand the problems as a webmaster and this STILL pisses me off. I'd hate to think how Impatient Joe Surfer would react. Wait 2 hours... I've been ripped off... get on the phone... holy chargebacks!

And how would this reflect on me if I'm promoting Deluxe Pass on my site. Is that guy likely to purchase a membership to a different site from me if he ever visits my site again? Uh... no.

This is not good for business. Sort your fucking shit out.
