Diana: You get into that "what I really want and how I really work" thing that makes commercial programs harder to work with. There are some really good programmers out there that can do the work, but the good ones are usually booked many months ahead!

I realize this to some degree.
Ok, so let's talk about this and see where the programs really lack. If you look at most adult sites here is their structure:
index
tour (2 to 10 pages)
samples
/members - cat1, cat2, etc.
Affiliate program
Most CMS's are now allowing you to build AVS and TPG on the fly. That's a good thing, I suppose but I see that as another module or program. Then again management of content is just that so it probably doesn't matter.
Hmmm I think I'd like to see a product that easily lets you build adult sites. It includes plug-in features that give you easy access to permissions (that are reasonably safe) full automation of publishing content where you want it and how you want it and the ability to have template control.
Speaking of PHP- I don't currently own any PHP sites but I think I'll be moving towards this pretty soon. I always trust my gut when it comes to these things because I'm not a programmer...I'm a business woman and as a business woman I research and evaluate the options that best suit my business now and in the future. Based on my experience as a business woman I know that NEW always needs time to debug and settle. I never buy anything that's just been released for an important project. I consider myself a trend setter and will be the first to try a beta program as long as it doesn't affect my bread & butter.
I like the clean styles and modules of PHP. I just don't understand (yet) how to make it work for me. There are scripts out there I know can be modified to work for me.
Here's what I want in a nutshell:
I don't want the standard tour. I prefer publishing the newest updates on the home page with samples. Then there's an archive. I want non-members to see what kind of updates we have.
I want non-members to at least register to see larger samples & I want to harvest those people.
You upgrade to levels of access.
Content is content - html, video, audio, etc.
I don't own all my content but the content I do own that old and out dated, I'd like to lease out, trade or give away.
I'd LOVE to combine CMS with a community script like PHPNUKE that allows access controls via subscription that passes the info yet keeps it on my secure server. The most popular processors.
Does anyone have a rebilling script that works with Authorize.Net?
