As many Styx members will tell you, since the subscription money has been coming in we have been able to invest in more material, more girls, better outfits, locations, etc

When the members make suggestions on material we go out and shoot it- how can you do all that when a large group of so called wetlook fans are always looking for a easy way to grab everything for nothing?

The quickest way to get prices down is for more people to join the various site (not just Styx) and support the producers- if we can share ths cost of production over a greater number of people then we can make the prices really low.

At the moment producers are having to produce material from the proceeds of support from around 20-30% of the community.

They also don't realise that many of the producers actually subsidise a lot of the "free" material that appear on many sites- including much behind the scene support that they don't see- income taken away means less to go into helping a lot of the other sites, hence less free material

The selfishness and stupidity of some in this community takes your breath away at times

So far I haven't made a decision either way but your idea is one option.

So you want us to run a scheme, where the discount we offer to people for paying their membership in full early is given to people who do not?

What do the people who do pay six months in a single payment? Do we offer another discount to them? This could go on and on until we are paying you to visit our site :)

Alternatively we could have a system where people would PROMISE to pay us for 6 months and not cancel their credit card payments.

The reason that we eliminated the 1 month system is because so many people wanted to "cheat" the system we had in place- how much confidence do you think we have in people after that? What proportion of people will sign up, pay a single $10, take all the archive and never pay again? Maybe you won't but there's hundreds of people who would, and how do we know who we can trust?

When we put out free material, 3,000 people download it and 7 bother to say thank you- how many would bother to continue paying us?

The site contains 15.5 hours of movies and 6500 pictures- if you sign up for $69 you get all that, plus over the next 6 months of your membership you will get another 7-8 hours of movies and around 4,000 pictures.

If the $69 is too much in one go, then go out and buy 24 hours of movies and 10,000 pictures over the next 6 months- but in tapes/DVD's and picture CD's. If you can provide me with evidence that you can purchase all that for less than $69 then I will give you free membership! It will mean buying full length feature tapes at less than $5 each!

I think that instead of griping you ought to show some appreciation that Styx provides so much wetlook material and at the lowest possible cost. Picture for picture and movie for movie we are the cheapest you can get- but at the same time offering arguably the best quality around
