I want them to see the real thing.....the amount of content...the diversity
my updates, the quality of the pics/vids... I want them to see the real
members rating and voting for updates....since thatīs the real power
of my site.....
------
if you can get enough members to participate in the voting & surveys etc, i'll be very surprised ...
Its a great idea, we've been working towards this with our purve members areas in stages over the last 6 months, doing 1 section at a time ... trying to get it perfect first go means longer before you can start sending traffic to it. The thing with interactivity is you have to have a LOT of members to start getting them involved.
As for leasing it, you may find there's more money in this side of it, unless you are confident you can generate enough traffic to justify the time spent on this paysite idea ;-)
Our main goal for moving to a dynamic system is updates with the press of a button. As we are a magazine as well as a porn site, we update features every month and its time consuming doing it the old way. We have some parts of this working such as surveys ... you enter a survey at a central admin page and click 'publish' and off it goes and adds itself to the all the paysites and archives everything else & displays the categories etc. Eventually our writers will be able to submit articles into their own templates and I will click 'publish' from somewhere in the carribean ;-)))
Anything that saves you time can potentially make you money ... or at least save you time. LOL

All the features are allready there....as I have been building content
management systems for quite some time....the voting/survey stuff
is will benefit surfers.....I wonīt be asking them for advice....it will
be presented for example like this....
Tomorrowīs updates....Iīll show 3 different girls/couples.... the members
decides which one will make it.....just by clicking the pics.... the same for
rating...each set or vid will have a rating function in the interface....no
difficult options....whenever they see something they like...they can rate.
Also I will have toplists of items/categories/etc based on hits/views...
So itīs slightly different than running regular polls....I guess youīll see
when I release it...hehehe...Iīll put some screenshots up soon of the admin
and the frontend....I have quite a bit experience in building this kind of stuff
the tech part is the part I donīt worry about.....
Iīm currently adding a feature to create static pages at the push of a button.....
for example for galleries....itīs no use pulling all that info from the
database at every request.....and also a caching layer for image files....
damn things always turn out to get bigger than I innitially planned...thatīs
so great about these boards....a few know a lot more than 1 and I get
suggestions I would initialy have never thought of....
Thanks again everybody for your input......Iīll setup a board discount for
interested people once itīs ready....
Vick weīll work out your special discount.....hehehe letīs first see if you
really like it once itīs done...
