Mutt: I'm going to try and answer your post and other points raised in this topic without it turning into an outrageous spam fest for our products.
These days plugins are a much harder sell than they were back in 1998 when Richard first launched the BritBabes library - even with superb quality content *cough, cough*. There's more competition and there's more webmasters who've been burned by having crappy, non-updating, over-priced plugins.
Our view is that plugins have to add value to a pay site - either in encouraging sign-ups or encouraging member retention or through cost savings - otherwise there is no point in having them, plain and simple. Some plugins certainly add value and without slagging off any of our competitors, some don't.
Our experience has been mixed, some have been very straight-forward sales & clients and some have wanted to haggle down to the last penny, I guess that's true of every sales operation though. For the most part, the people who have been straight-forward, easy sales if you like, are the ones whose businesses we have seen grow. It seems that people who count every single penny forget how to make pounds.
Richard based the script that manages the plugins (based on his old Brit Babes script) and designed the products we sell based around his own frustrations with the plugins he'd looked at for our own pay sites.
(This is the spammy bit now)
So, what he built was a plugin system that:
- is completely customiseable (and I mean completely);
- clearly updates daily for image galleries with a full set and twice weekly for the video one with a full-length scene;
- has full access to the back-catalogue with no content rotation;
- has good, paysite quality, reasonably exclusive content;
- doesn't have any additional bandwidth charges;
- has full access stats on request.

(end of spammy bit).
Now... where do I get an Oprano button from?
