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.
I see your point but I do think some of the forum guys would buy. They are the "collectors" and aren't happy without having every image and video on the internet that fits their tastes. That is one of the reasons I think a better pricing model would help convert some of them, they simply could not afford to pay for everything they want.

If they could buy a rip of your site from you personally then buy updates of single videos / photosets I'd imagine that there are many that would. Now whether or not the price point that would work at would be OK with both you and them is another issue.
