It seems that many webmasters here and on other boards think that recurrent billing for memberships to adult-related content is causing the CC companies some concern. So here's a simple solution (from a simple mind):

A few days before the customers membership is due to expire, an e-mail is sent... "Your membership to goatse.cx is about to expire. Please visit goatse.cx/confirmrenewal.htm to confirm renewal of your monthly membership within xx days."

You can have them enter just their CVVS number (or whatever info will confirm that they agree to be rebilled) instead of having them fill out the whole billing form again. If they do not want to be rebilled, they ignore the e-mail and their membership expires. If they miss the e-mail but really like your site, they'll sign up again once they find out their u/p doesn't work anymore.

Whaddaya think?
