So basically what you're saying is that after you stole Tommy's webmaster page and banners you bought a membership so you could steal the members area layout too?

It's my experience that the design of the members area is the most important factor in the retention rate of members.
I started my own paysite almost a year ago. The conversion rate of the tour was quite good but only 15% of the trials was converting to a monthly membership. Most of the the monthly memberships didn't convert to a second month.
Two months ago I redesigned the members area and now 70% of the trials is converting to a monthly membership. Now I'm waiting to collect more data about the average membership length, but when I see the increasement of the trial to monthly conversion rate I assume the average lenght would increase very much.
The content is stil the same: 12.000 pics carefully rotated in the membership area with every two weeks a brand new set added. But the members thinks every two days a new set is added.
Because of my own experience I think the design is more important then the pics. Unless the quality and number of the pics is very bad and very low.
That's way you always should buy a trial to check out the membership area of a site when you are going to promote one of the smaller paysites.
