Other. I read reviews, watch previews, read comments, check cc processor etc. for days and even weeks.

It's all about the content for me.

The "I consider it a few days" - is pretty good...so that's my vote.
And of course, it's the content - but that's what it's all about, is it not?.
So a new site (never joined before) or a well known one, I do not rush into it - anymore. Yes, the term "consider" is the deal...

I picked other because I don't normally join on impulse and I also don't take days to consider my decision. Once I find a site that interet me then I take a look at their preview section and search for reviews.

I consider it a few days... at the end of which I consider it a few days more... then I don't consider it for awhile... until I'm reminded of it again ... when I usually start the whole process all over again.
Hence a marked number of fewer subscriptions than the norm.... which naturally effects my number of reviews ... thereafter and ultimately resulting in (as one will notice) my lower trust and score ratings.
This case arises because I sub at a couple ongoing reduced pay sites offering me a diversity of bits and pieces of what I could easily find elsewhere, anyway... sans any pirating, of course.

Most commonly, I consider it for a few days, or even longer, but every once in a while, in a fit of mania, I'll just join one on impulse.

Other for me, if I see a site that interests me i generally just add it to my list of bookmarked sites I might get around to joining one day. With around 100 sites bookmarked and a join rate of usually 1-2 sites a month some sites will sit in that list for years and never get joined, some may even close down before i get around to joining as happened recently with the Marketa 4 You site...that one really pissed me off. If i come across a reduced price special offer for a site on my wish list though that might bump it up to the top of the list and trigger an impulse buy.

Usually consider a couple of days or more.
There are very few sites that satisfy my straightforward but very specific needs.

Considering I'm pretty much joining the same sites over and over again, I'm usually just waiting for the content to build up. That and timing things so a new join will overlap a change in month due to my monthly bandwidth cap.
In the rare event that I am considering a new site, it's usually something I look at for a while, from a few days to a few weeks. I'll read the reviews here and on TBP, maybe reviews from other sites, then go for it.

When I surf I almost always get a bunch of potential sites and pick one of them when I get tired of the site I currently belong to. I quit one site and usually join a new one on the same day.

I have a list that I generally choose from. I have some near the top but sometimes randomly decide to go for a less prominent one if the niche particularly appeals. A special offer from a site on my list definitely bumps it up!

It's rare that I make an impulse membership purchase. I normally read everything the TBP and PU has on a site first so I can avoid surprises.

Although I may consider for a few days in a stupor.

I usually consider it over a few days. I read reviews, but often choose sites that others have not reviewed.

After I narrow it down to about 3 or 5 that i think i would enjoy joining the rest is pure impulse.

In most cases, it takes me a looong time between first discovering a site and finally joining it. I'm very deliberative about what sites I join.
