I do not mind. The problem is still there, there are no answers yet to the issue. Each person who posts it each week gives different insight and that often spurs different answers in the thread. I see it as an ongoing dialog to try to understand and adapt to the problems we face today.

If you want to survive today and keep making $$$ you have to build something with the following elements:
1. Offer something the tubes dont
2. Have something the surfer can't resist to wait or he can't finds somewhere else (so you get an impulsive buy)
3. Have a design that makes him only horny but not satisfied. You want satisfaction? Then there is a price.
4. Forget about free stuff in your site, let the thumbnails to fuel his imagination... "is she nuddie or she's wearing a thong? Man, I need to see the larger pic to find out... ok I got to pay for that" ( pay to see the flop)
You ARE NOT selling satisfaction these days. You are selling EXPECTATIONS and you must charge high for that and only one time (forget about recurrings, thats bullshit today). Call it "aggresive marketing" but thats what works today in Porn. Some of you might have values and morality (...ok Im kidding with this) and will not agree on this, but thats the true reality in Porn. Otherwise do what the url of this board says and start selling cakes in the neighborhood.
For sure there is a market for the "I Pay to see the Flop" customer (I tell you this as experience). Good luck all in 2010.

Great post by the way, I agree with that.
As a paysite owner myself (yes I read the thread) I do appreciate such threads. Even if the majority of people responding to them are not site owners themselves. I do trust in the overall intelligence of a large collective with at least some experience in the business. I know others read them as well and just may not post.
Just like I know many site owners who are either afraid of posting or just do not want to jinx themselves because their sites have not taken a hit and are still doing well or better than well. Perhaps they just do not want more competition or people rushing in and doing what they do just all wrong.
It is hard out there. Hell my shit is down too with most areas. We all know there is no magic wand nor no time machine. We are not in denial. We just do not want to rush into changing or adapting to quickly when that may not of been the right thing to do.
