The members also stayed, on average, about 1.5 - 1.75 months, regardless of price. So you have to take that into account as well, when judging price points.

Take a site at $10 per month with a decent join rate and retention rate of 2 months. Compare it to a site at $30 / month with a better than decent join rate and retention rate of 1-1.5 months.

Just takes time fucking with the numbers and arriving at your own solution I guess. I don't think there's a magical price for any site.
