Everyone has debit cards now, though, so that whole checks thing is a legacy holdover that needs some work.
I find that a lot of non porn surfers (and quite a bit of my audience is outside the mainstream of adult) are scared they could somehow get charged if they click a join button with no explanation.
But you are also totally right, especially with the evolution of mobile, that those teeny buttons are... Well, teeny.

I don't want to go into any more about your sites in this thread because it is not the time, nor place for it.... except what I'm going to say below
A pre-join page is good for really one thing... that is collecting emails. It, in my opinion, is not the page to offer a bunch of ways to join, or options to.
When I talk about a site making 100% more money, I am talking about using the pre-join page effectively, then customizing your join page via your own merchant account.
Take anyone of your sites... bypass the pre-join... land directly onto epoch or ccbill, default the monthly option, I bet you see 30% more sales that way. The reason is because you are likely seeing 95% credit card joins, and your pre-join page is really just a deterrent at the moment.
