Let's say that they make £250,000 per week from members on this forum, that's £1.3million a year on just calls they're potentially losing on revenue.
Now lets look at how much they could lose if 1/5 of the members on this forum bought 1 picture per week, which works out at a further potential lose of just over £1.5million a year.
So basically, they are prepared to continue to piss people off on this "just a forum" and risk losing out on a potential increase in their revenue of £2.8million per year and focus on the casual viewer who might just buy 1 pic or a one caller.
In my opinion, pissing members of a forum dedicated to the babechannels off, is just suicidal.
Maybe I should be their accountant
Well, for a start, Cellcast would probably have you delivered to Monster Joe's Truck & Tow for failing to account for £11.7million...
All jesting aside, the general conversion rate for most forms of advertising on TV and the Internet is usually between 1% & 3%. Using the 50,000 members of this forum as an example (probably not an accurate figure considering the moderators have mentioned people with around a dozen alternate accounts each in some cases), that's between 500 & 1500 customers. Going on previous experience, it's more likely to be around the 1% mark on the Internet.
Using that advertising example again, for the estimated 700,000 viewers across all the babe channels (not just Cellcast channels), you're looking at a figure between 7,000 & 21,000 customers throughout the year.
With that mind, considering Cellcast probably get at least 50% of the market for calls/pictures/videos, the figure of 10,000 potential customers you stated is more likely to be Cellcast's total amount of customers across all their free-to-air channels combined.
I'm here to help - if my help's not appreciated then lotsa luck, gentlemen.

RE: Babestation - General Chat & Discussion
Don't want to stir things up but I doubt 10,000 members of this forum are regular viewers.
As Winston said, it's more like a 1% conversion, but we'll stick with 20% for this example.
yes there are 50,940 accounts on this forum, but on the first page only 20 of those account have logged in this year. Using that as an average would take that number down to 33,960 active accounts on the forum. But again, if you look at any of the pages in the members list past 100 you'll notice a pattern. It would appear a lot of the accounts on this forum are bots.
So let's say 20 (regular forum callers) * 100 (pages of active accounts) = 2000. You're 1/5 has shrunk from 10,000 to 400.
Only the forum admin would know the amount of active forum users, say within the past 6 months. So don't just grab random stats from thin air.
