Maybe you should just buy content and host it yourself? (hint, hint). Either way buddy, call me or IM me when you get a chance and perhaps I can give you some insight on this.

I would speak to Stan... They run a pretty solid operation over there and were very helpful when I had some billing issues that needed to be resolved.

Adultcentro is the best and most flexible(most of the time ;) )

Talk to Stan, i know people that run paysite only based and AC and they bank.

i'm sure you will get it sorted.

Hey MisterPeabody,

It looks like you already have a solution to your problem, but if you are ever interested in giving Plug-In Feeds a try I would be more than happy to set you up with a free trial. Capping and throttling bandwidth usage is no problem at all, we have many clients that need such a setup plus we also send out e-mail alerts whenever an unexpected spike in bandwidth happens to help catch problems before they start.

Feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] or ICQ me at 147479144.

If you don't mind my asking were your spikes in usage from your site getting cracked or from actual member usage habits?

I am curious since you apparently were on a "throttled" bandwidth plan so just wondering if you could see the bw then it shouldn't have been a surprise why there were fluctuations...

(btw.. Just wondering since we have been doing feeds for years and certainly meaning no disrespect to you or the provider.)

One month it's $400, next month it's $1000+, and so on.

So after relentless chaping of my anal cavity I have decided to STOP this endless ass assualt insanity and look for other feed companies to bolster my Members Area.

So who else wants my business? :)

Thanks Sly, just may do that. I usually don't look to "replace" companies I work with so much as "add" new features for members. I'm also using Webmaster Central (who I love). But I'd be willing to check out your stuff at least. :)





No disrespect taken, at least on my end. Now, the time you said I butt-fuck guinea pigs on weekends, now THAT was disrespectful as I do not fuck on Sundays, just like Connie Francis (how old AM I?). Wait, was that you? Never mind, sorry. Forget everything I just said about guinea pigs and butt-fucking...

ANYway: not to air private business on a public board let's just say I was under the impression that my useage was capped when it may be the case where it is not for some reason. We're investigating that.

If the useage was coming from Members, uncapped, then there's less of a problem, or perhaps a problem with just a few mems. What kind of feeds you gots? :)

Ill have to agree with this guy. Your members must be liking the plugin content better than your own for some reason or another. Add more of your own content more often. That's really the only solid solution

Not necessarily - everyone has to weigh the pros and cons...

Purchased content - cheap is also non-exclusive; you get what you pay for so exclusive means more expensive and if you want specific models then you face model issues, which also carries more responsibility for age verification so therefore more liability, and there is more work to maintain the CMS... all of which carries the benefit of real exclusivity... which is only really good if you are also willing to protect it at all costs, time, legal, etc.

Leased feeds, frequent updates, less liabilities, less work maintaining it...

At the end of the day, renting feeds can make a heck of a lot more sense financially speaking though many think otherwise without necessarily thinking it through imho... and I am speaking from all sides of the equation, as a feed provider and as a lessee of feeds as well as a buyer of exclusive content.

X2K Feeds can help you with some additional feeds and pricing if you would like hit me up for a demo we have tons of niches, daily updates and lots of usage plans..

IF it were possible to buy content at the same rate and consistency that a feed company could provide I might consider it. BUT then there's the issue of "working with" all that content I'd be buying (instead of "renting"); editing, FTP-ing, CMS, updates, ay yi yi!

But also, and this is to the above commenter, too, even if I updated a site with my own exclusive content three times a week some members would still cancel, or gravitate to the bonus content to surf through while they wait for the next update to the site they joined. Plus, they get an entire network of 28+ websites, so at least two or more sites in the network are updated every single day, 7 days a week. :)

A feeds company can provide content I could never shoot myself (too expensive) for only a few hundred a month. Great deal for all involved I would say.

All right Captain, but only because you're already a Doobie Brother in good standing...:D
