I have 40-50 members who do exactly that. I will see their emails like clockwork every 4-6 months.

I would like to think that the ones that ARE reccuring are just supporting the site, love the content or a mixture of both. It is true that niche tend to support their "community" much more than the average surfer that is signing up for huge megasites with access to 5 billion more when they sign on as a member.

Foot, PH and Nylon surfers are also much more likely to promote mom and pops than huge porn houses. Which, quite frankly is saving the ass of fetish niche right now imho...
There's another form of recurring this industry never got. The recurring where the customer kept buying porn from the Internet.

We were so focused on what we needed we didn't realise that even if he left 1 site he would soon join another and the whole market was a merry go round of customers.

Until a guy gets pissed off with buying porn on the Internet. He keeps buying porn on the Internet.
