| Pros: |
+Pornstar list, but...(see cons)
+Each model page links photos and videos, however...(see cons)
+There is a site search, but...(see cons)
+ZIP downloads for picture galleries and you don't even have to VISIT the gallery page to download them as the ZIP download links are on the homepage
+Every video and gallery has their associated date tag (unlike other sites which remove them off the updates page)
+Update schedule is pretty good (1 pic gallery and 1 video per day), and is certainly better than competition (KarupsPC/HA and ATKGalleria)
+Video downloads available in split and full scene.
+Newer vids are in HD (700x394)
+Content FEELS exclusive (but for the most part it isn't. Lot of Matrix Content vids)
+Comes with a few extra network sites which are good (see bottom line) one of which is completely dedicated Lonnie Waters!!! |
| Cons: |
-Pornstar list is just a list, no headshots, and its just one long list of names, no separate pages for each letter
-Videos on model page is not linked very clearly. There is a text link at the bottom which says "Go to [insert model name]'s videos". Would prefer if they were linked like the pic sets (main image of each gallery is shown on model page)
-Site search does not do string searching, it all searching by tags and genres.
-Videos only available as WMV
-Preview images for videos lacking - only one preview image per video
-Associated image galleries not linked on video page (and vice versa), that is assuming there are galleries which were taking during the video shoot (which is not always the case)
-Stream links are same links as download and therefore don't work in opening embedded WMP in FireFox (they just act as download links)
-Vids and pics have watermarks (albeit subtle ones), moreover it is only recent (all updates on and after Nov 15, 08). Older vids/pics have no watermark |
| Bottom Line: |
Overall a very good site. Its competition is KarupsPC (and KarupsHA), ATKGalleria, PixAndVideo and 1By-Day and unfortunately I'd put it at the bottom of the pile though, but its not like its far off. The content is good, the quality of videos and pictures are good, and I think that the recent addition of watermarks is indication that they are moving away from just republishing content from studios like Matrix Content towards producing their own content (which is a good thing). Their update schedule is certainly better than Karups, and on par with PixAndVideo and 1By-day. They just need to work on layout (which is certainly lacking when compared with the other 4 sites) and improve the site search capabilities.
I am not overly pleased that the HD resolution isn't standard resolutions like 480p (720x480), 720p (1280x720), but its not a deal breaker.
There are a lot of models and a lot of content, so there is definitely something for everyone. Just improve the layout (which hasn't changed in years) and it puts the site right up there.
On another note, there is no bonus material. The "bonus" material is just a bunch of bonus galleries and videos that could otherwise fit in the standard non-"bonus" library. It is a little outdated too.
Site is a little expensive but it is on par with the competition:
GMGB = $25/mo
ATK = $30/mo
PaV = $30/mo
Karups = $30/mo
1By-Day = $35/mo |
