Maybe trial joins have outstayed their welcome?
Is this technically possible? What about having paysites serve up different join pages to different IP #'s... so that people with a history of cancelling after the trial period are served with a join page that only has full membership option available and everybody else gets the trial option? This would only work with static IP's and has some inherent flaws but if its easy to do..... why not do it? Paysites who work closely together could share the IP information from each of their db's.
Anyhow, the billing model needs an overhaul sometime in the near future.
