Help with new paysite

[RAP]

Ramster, thanks! Your help is really appreciated. Do you mean you looked at the tour and didn't like it, or that you didn't see a tour?

I modeled the site after some successful sites in this genre. But they use several methods of bringing visitors into the site. Mainly, there is either a front page like mine, or an intro page with only three or 4 buttons, like Members, Join, Tour. I would like to know what people think might work better.

Thanks again, man. Any more comments would be greatly appreciated!

That's a good first page, mostly. I'd go with a more traditional kind of menu instead of the symbols at the bottom, and change the "Free Tour" to something like "More", so it doesn't scream at the surfer that it will cost money.
That's the same reason I hate the 3 button sites, "Join" "Members" "Tour"
At least give the surfer a chance to get half a hardon before you tell them it will cost to really get off

Good advice, thanks. Just one thing, what do you mean by the symbols at the bottom? |confused| There are icons at the bottom of the front page, but they are just informational dressing. They occur in the tour as well, but nowhere else in the site.
