That combined with your vast knowledge (that they passed up for a new content provider, much hotter I must say) means you know more than the people that have come and gone and come and gone and come and gone since you started in this biz. Even though 3 or 4 generations of site owners have retired this decade you still know more with your site. I hope to die with that much knowledge one day.
I was agreeing with you about limited trials. We do not do them if you noticed, because we feel the number of poor site who use them put off as many as the trial converts. But maybe we should give them a run to see.

Yes people have retired in the last decade and I'm still here. If you knew me you would know why I'm not sitting on a beach in Thailand and trust me it has nothing to do with money. But then you know nothing about me.

Their content rocks. I'm not a big lesbian fan but they really have some sexy stuff.
And that's why they have become a very big program after the early easy days. Also where did you ever see a banner for them on the boards or anything else promoting them up to a year ago?

They got big by one method, converting and retaining. The traffic followed.
