I visted your signup page and this is what i noticed.
First you have a cross sell i believe, which in my opinion should not be 'pre-checked'....or hell, probably shouldn't even be there to begin with, since your about to charge them $38 bucks for your site alone....anyway, which reads below:
"Special Offer to New Members!!!
Click here to signup for a 3 day NO CHARGE Membership to Porn Turbo - Three Day Trial Membership. After 3 days, Membership renews automatically at $38.61 every 1 month. "
then, there's the fine print for your AVS below the cross sell which reads,
"There is NO CHARGE for the intial 30 minutes preview. After the preview you will receive a 1 day trial membership for only $4.95(unless cancelled). Thereafter you will be billed $39.21 every 1 month(s) until cancelled. "
30 minute preview?
I'm so anal about charge backs, that if i were to do this, I would go as far as putting both of those "fine prints" ABOVE the cc fields where surfers enter their CC information. Make triple sure that they see it.
Right now, both the above fine prints are below the CC fields where the surfer enters their info.
Look, I'm not at all sticking up for surfers who don't read the 'fine print,' but lets be honest here. Most have their dick in their hand when their signing up. In my opinion, it's stuff like this that gets this industry into trouble in the first place, causes tons of charge backs, and brings heat on everyone. Not saying you get chargebacks mind you, and not saying what your doing is wrong either...cause what your doing isn't wrong. The surfers just better read.
But get enough chargebacks, and Visa won't give a shit if your wrong or right...period..end of story.
If i was the surfer and didn't read all of it cause i just wanted my access to drop my load, i would see a $70 charge on my card. Instant chargeback.
These days, with Visa being up everyones ass, you have to be extra extra careful. Once your TMF'd by Visa it's all over.
I don't know.....to each their own i guess. Just my opinion though. And don't take my word for it. I don't have much information to back my words. Hopefully some others will post and either agree or disagree and give some input.
Well, flame if you must. 
On another note, it's a beautiful site. Nice work on the design and layout. Congrats on your launch.

Hello Mike,
This is not some special signup process we came up with.
We currently use the stadard epoch flexpost which is in action
on literally thousands of adultsites for a long time. It is proven
to work very well and rather conservative compared to what
you see nowadays coming from other companies ;)
