    Do you have any cookies for digitalpoint.com other than the Google Analytics ones (the ones that start with __)?

    After tweaking here and there, I finally got to order form but... bold text stopped me cold
    in my tracks just before I pressed Order. Given my history of 3 bans in last year alone
    and 8 points more on my horizon, I think I will hold my horses and wait until hell freezes.

    :D

    I would recommend experimenting with the CTRs of time delays..

    Sometimes I come on DP and go right to my settings, sometimes I scroll down.. Different delays before it comes up may target different sorts of browsers[read:users who browse].

    As far as annoyance, well this exact thing has become commonplace marketing practice nowadays. I wouldn't be surprised if the "No thanks" link went to a special "10 minute only" offer with a timer, for half price or something (I clicked Tell me more)

    Anyway Good luck

    Yep... was already planning on doing some analysis once we get a large enough sampling to look at things like time of day (and taking into account local time/location based on the user's IP address).

    But there are no plans to make it any more annoying than it already is. Once a plenty if you ask me... Premium Membership is something we want to "offer", not force down people's throats to buy so we shut up about it.
