I can only speak from my own experience, but based on the support emails I now get from guys who can't figure out that they have to scroll to see more of the site, or that you can't press a photo and make it play, I can only come to the conclusion that these guys are new to the internet. These are the guys I want and will fight for.

That in mind, I believe a large portion of guys joining pay sites these days are noobs because they have not yet found the porn boards or tubes. Or maybe they have and they don't feel comfortable with them yet. Whatever the case, they are still paying customers until that changes, then you lose them forever UNLESS the only place they can see what they want to see is inside your members area. Then a few may come back and join again.

Outside of a few guys here and there, I don't believe you can convert those who are comfortable with tubes and porn boards into paying customers again. So in that aspect, you are correct. But I see those guys as already lost and I don't care about them. I only care about the guys who are getting online for the first time. I want them. But it's very difficult to get them because Google gives every tube known to man better placement than most pay sites. Thus the issue I speak of.
