With all the recent criticisms recently over models fan club sites, I have a brilliant idea. Why, instead of charging like a bull straight into the fan club when it's just started, give it a month or two so that it can "bed down" and then the potential member should get a better idea of what activities are, or are not, occurring?

I can see your thinking guy but what about the sites that need turnover to produce the new updates? How long is a good "bed down" period? 6 months? A year?

I think you'll find many a good producer with a website might go down well before this .

Not that anyone cares about the producers. That vile, wretched and debauched lot who must be having a whale of a time knee deep in filth living the life of wine, women and thong.

I see your thinking. The money from new members equates to new updates.

The "bedding down" period I suppose depends on how much content there is at the launch of the site, and how often are the updates.

I'd give a site perhaps 3 months and if it's going well, then join.

Its always a risk. It does help if theres an "updates" list on the outside though.
I guess theres a lot of sites that are effectively dead and you won't find out until you've joined.

The thing is it shouldn't always be a risk.

The industry often asks why it struggles and one of the reasons is because of the mistrust that surrounds it.

There shouldn't be a need for a time to 'bed down' the product should be there and if things go tits up, the shit hits the fan or another business reason happens then the business should be prepared to face the consequence and more importantly rectify the problems.

The "Oh well its porn..." excuse is no excuse.

I agree with you. A couple of years ago I was a member of another Brit girl's site. Very well known name on here. First thing that started to go wrong was no updates but we kept on because the webcams (sometimes 3 a week were fantastic). Then, at 24 hours notice, they stopped.
When I emailed what I thought was a supportive sympathetic message I got flamed.
Knowing the arselicking that some forumites indulge in I didn't post about it but I did give her site a very negative review.
But do people read those reviews?
If everybody who had domestic/marital problems stayed "off work" for any length of time most would get the sack.

There are very few purchases that people make where they allow for a 'bedding in' period of what really amounts to 'unreliability'. People's expectations in terms of quality are that it is 'fit for purpose' ... it's arguable whether it would be a 'goer' to charge much less for a short period of time on the understanding that the site is 'bedding in', however once people get used to paying one price it's unlikely they want to start paying more in three month's time. It's much easier to put prices down rather than up.

Surely the best option is to get a quality product 'right first time' ?

One day (but don't hold your breath waiting for it) the people doing the arselicking and defending those who are damaging porn will realise that they are adding to the problems and in do so hitting their own pockets (if they are in the industry) or maintaining the quality of product we see with its restrictions.

Having seen on another forum agreed rates for anyone working on it I live in hope that those in a position to change attitudes within the industry get together again and create something that improves the website situation.

There's a lot of post removals going on. I guess this one will go to.
Looks like the mods favour the girls over the punters...punters meaning the people who actually pay for something they don't get.
