This is highly illogical... lifetime members is a one-time payment. It won't bring you more revenue in the long run, atleast not for some users. I have already bought a years membership twice because lifetime wasn't available to me.
I agree. Hey I got an idea, if you want more money CH then get rid of your yearly and start requiring monthly subs. Oh and retire as many trainers as you want, Just remember that the more you retire the less value your site has to clients current and new
Also - if you went monthly - I would gladly pay 15 or 20 a month if you un-retired games that people still love (GTA, Sims, etc..) And think of all the extra cash you guys would have I don't think it would be feasible to unretired EVERY game you guys have, but just the ones that were popular or considered great.
Perhaps you can consider adding in the A La Carte options for single users! E.g. 1 guy wants a trainer for a game and odds are that 1 guy will be the only one using it, in this scenario I would give the option to purchase the trainer, but do it for a price that is worth it for the staff. For some rare games I'd be willing to pay 80-100 dollars per single trainer, and maybe 3-500 bucks to pay for the next 10 patches if they choose that option. I would be using this option a lot. Plus you can offer those to the rest of the site once made making the site more valuable because maybe a few other people would like those trainers as well!

15-20 a month is A LOT of money to some people. A lot of people, myself included, can't afford that amount of money per month. Add to that the cost of buying games and maintaining your PC and it is a REALLY big deal.
