Cons:
- regular price is to high (tbp special is good)

- no hardcore
- softcore sometimes to "soft"
- danni isn`t that hot at all
- settings of videos look often the same
- a lot of "bla bla" in the videos
- often music in videos ( a killer, even if i can`t imagine a lapdance without music :) ))
- dl a bit slow
Bottom Line:
oh no, one more danni review i was thinking by myself, but sorry i had to write it.
curiosed by the newer reviews and the high ratings i tried that site once again, even i was a member about three years ago, and once again i was sligthly disapointed.
it is hard to discribe why in my opinion this site is average. if you see the videos with all that women it looks at fist good, but seeing a third and a fourth video it is getting boring.
no, or not really action. the softcore makes me sleep.
the features of videos :NAKED JOKE OF THE WEEK, IN BED AT DANNI'S, VIRTUAL LAP DANCE, sounds a little bit boring and what surpise, they are boring.
ok i am not an abby winters fan at all, you all knew it, but i never thought that danni is goning to be abby winters with tits :)
the LIVE EVENTS and weekly 'mini-movie' are the only mini highlight of that site, but they are also a little bit boring. i can really say why, but all in all this site doesn`t get the point.
i don`t recommend that site because of it`s absolutly softcore content and the same looking movies. even if they would offer me that site for 4,95 a month i won`t come back until there is a little bit "harder" sofcore ore real hardcore.
(sorry to all danni fans)

Pros:
Really, really good models. Shay Laren, Danni Ashe (doing current videos), Dawn, Gianna, Peach, Vanessa (what a nice surprise), Erica Campbell, Zuzanna, and Jamie Lynn are some of my favorites.
Considering they have their own sites, I had no idea that people like Shay and Dawn were on this site. And it's not just a few token videos either. Sweet.
Cons:
Occasional service outages in the form of incorrect downloads (sizes) and urls not resolving. This happens very rarely (Maybe 2% of the time). Odd navigation: I'm on the front page, I want to get to Honest Bra, what do I do? Answer: scroll way down to the bottom, click on Site Map and find it in there. How about a Features dropdown right up top?
So, obviously not much of a con. And anyone thinking that users who can't find stuff are just stupid doesn't know what they're talking about. The rule in UI is: don't make your users think. Ever. But good UI work is rare, and this place certainly doesn't suck.
There's also some extra clicking in the form of list and detail pages. They could have both by offering downloads on listing pages instead of just detail pages. When I see a list of videos for a model, I already know I want all of them. Making me click on each...
No hardcore, which is more of a plus for me. I don't like my soft and hard mixed-up.
Bottom Line:
Now that they are no longer using DRM, it's an F'ing smorgasbord. Every day I find a new model and I literally say 'I can't believe she is here too!'. The site really is quite an accomplishment. No other site has all my top models from the past ten+ years.
What's better for softcore?
I've been a member on and off since the mid 90s (it was my first pron subscription). The improvements are great and the growth in content since '98 is downright impressive. (Did I mention Shay Laren videos?) Sweet googley moogley!

Pros:
No DRM!
Top Models
Large collection
great variety of scenes / themes
great photography and direction
keywords help search navigation
Lots of breast content
Cons:
not all of the original videos have been remastered.
Some photosets are small.
Bottom Line:
If you are into softcore, then you must have heard of Danni. I have been a member from time to time and the latest version has even more stuff. While they got rid of some of the old "extra content" links (like SoftBodies, etc...), I don't really miss it. Also, getting rid of DRM will get me coming back.
Danni has always maintained a wholesome, safe site, where the models seem to be having a good time. Sometimes the content is a little too safe.
The models play an active role in the content as in the "My Own Video" series.
It even reminds me of the old Playboy - with Danni playing the role of Hef. I love it for it's candy sweetness, while others may hate it for the same reason.

Pros:
- TBP Price of $19.95 is very good, includes access to videos.
- Picture size varies from barely acceptable 1000 high end to 2000+ high end and all can be downloaded in zips.
- More content than I realized they would have. I am estimating over 3,500 videos from a site that I thought was more about pictures than videos.
- Download speeds are very good, as I get right at 1,000 kb/s which is a little above average for me.
- Some high end models that I didn't have much content of like Sunny Leone, who I had all but forgotten about
- Some hardcore content as well, which I didn't expect.
Cons:
- Navigation seems to be moody, if that is possible.
- Older picture sets are barely worth the time it takes to download the terribly small 5 meg sets.
- Videos though coming in at 1300 bitrate, 640 high end, really don't look that great.
- Definitely not 100% exclusive content.
Bottom Line:
This is a site that I have debated with myself about joining for over a year.
About once a year, I remember one of my favorite porn stars, Cherie Roberts, aka Kitana Jade, and I had seen where Cherie had some content here on danni.com, and decided it was time to take the chance and join this site.
What I found was pretty good quality pictures, the photography is very good, but some of the older sets are just bad quality/resolution. Well over 1,000 models to choose from, including a lot of the very softcore models like Cherie.
The navigation is if nothing else cumbersome and clumsy. I don't know how many times I clicked something only to get something different than what I clicked. And I hate using the back button on my browser. How hard is it to give me a link to click on to go back?
Anyway, the Cherie content was more of the same, tease, tease, tease, but I did find plenty of content that I liked. The videos have a good blend of softcore, g/g and what I call hardcore masturbation. The women are top-notch, which definitely helps the score out.
The videos are not looking that good on my monitor. I'm not for sure why, as 640 high end usually looks good enough, but still the content in said videos was good enough to keep.
I didn't find any videos that are DRM protected, so that too is a bonus. Having zips with the picture sets does make me feel a little less critical of the small resolution on the old sets too.
Overall though, I would recommend it for a month

Pros:
- Large Selection Of Models
- Hi-Res Photos
- Zip Files
- NO DRM
- Virtual Lapdances!
- Live Chats and "Events" With Models
Cons:
- Fake Body Parts Everywhere
- Oldest Material Is Dial Up Quality
- Danni Not Very Present In Recent Material
Bottom Line:
Shay Laren did a nude live chat here that is archived on video. That's a selling point! The site is always doing live events, which they archive on video, and we aren't just talking about random girls for hire, like Met-Art. It gives the site a certain club like feeling.
This site has a ton of material dating back to the 90's. The photos are zipped for your convenience. The newer photos are 2000px. The oldest photos are glorified avatars.
A ton of videos also, 1000k bitrate, I couldn't get the size. Nothing special in video quality, but a lot of variety, they have a whole section of virtual lapdances that are very intriguing.
Of course you will see the famous "In Bed With Danni" videos all archived here. Danni doesn't seem to model too much anymore, although she has some current sets. A lot of these "sets" have only 1 photo! But she does have a lot of her voluptuous self archived.
One major turnoff is the large amount of models sporting water balloon implants. Yecch. Thought this tasteless trend went out in the 1990's.
With the TBP special bargain, the site comes at a good value.
If my review comes across as a bit "blah", it's because that's how I feel about the site. it's OK, just OK. At one time, way back in the 90's, this may have been a revolutionary internet event, but now it is way back in the herd IMHO.
Was a member approx. 6 months prior to this review.
Pros:
- Professional models as well as professional shoots
- Huge size of content
- Great price thanks to TBP (I had to pay full price when I was a member)
- Great quality of pictures and options to choose from
- Content is dated and website is well designed and structured
- Content is exclusive
- Live interaction with models (In Bed with Danni)
Cons:
Edit 18Apr07: DRM NO LONGER VALID ACCORDING TO LATEST NEWS
- DRM! DRM! I can't believe that site having 12 years of experience is still sticking to DRM (the only non-DVD site left I think). Even Suze.net un-DRMed vids recently.
- 1000k bitrate and poor resolution of vids doesn't really impress when you have 6000 clips to choose from
Bottom Line:
Mostly softcore content but very good selection and professional authors make this site to be on top. If they only removed DRM protection (this brings rating by 10 points at least) and moved to HD I would definitely come back once.
Edit 18Apr07: DRM NO LONGER VALID ACCORDING TO LATEST NEWS
Current Member for over 1 year (at the time of review).
Pros:
Huge inventory of exclusive content.
Emphasis on big breasts
Recent videos are usually well designed and good resolution
Cons:
Photo quality and quantity could be better
Uses error filled DRM. DRM permits no access after cancelling membership.
Customer Service is virtually non-existent.
Frequent broken links and discontinued content remains in indexes
Bottom Line:
Has its moments, but has deteriorated severely over the last 12 - 18 months. Unless the new owners (Danni Ashe is no longer in the game) step up to the plate and make some big changes, the site is no longer ready for prime-time.
Follow-Up:
Since I wrote the review, Danni.com removed the DRM (finally!) but all previously downloaded material can no longer be viewed. Connection problens are the worst in the biz, but the more recent material is excellent. I came back to give them another chance and increased my rating from 75 to 85. I get the sense that they are trying hard to recover the ground they lost over the years with DRM. The score will go up more when they let members log on more than 50% of the time...and access all content.
*Newbie reviews and ratings don't count toward a site's overall score/rank until the user reaches the Rookie status level (5 points). This rule is needed to help prevent fake (or heavily biased) profiles and reviews.

I noticed that someone below commented that the videos are NO LONGER DRM protected. However, the TBP data above indicates that the videos ARE DRM protected. Can a current member please help resolve this conflict? Thanks a lot.
I noticed at erohtica that a sample gallery of Jana Jordan (aka Jana Foxy) from Danni had samples at 2000px. So I joined after being away since July '06 (TBP price of 19.95).
Basically, the current pics back through Nov '07 are at 2000px, then there's a "phase in" period (Sept and Oct) in which some galleries are at that size and others get no larger 1024. A small number of the sets are really great, IMHO.
However, it's not all exclusive. "Breakfast at the [Hanna] Hilton" is at the Penthouse site with pics up to 4000px! Could there be more like this?
Well, just the same, I'm glad that the Danni site is making the step up in pic sizes.
I read Snowdude's comment that the DRM has been removed. I've never been a member on Danni's site. The preview doesn't help much, what is the content like? Are the models mostly American or are Euros blended in too? What I'm looking for is something like Twistys? Thanks ahead of time.
Just if anyone is interested: Danni.com got a new design
You won't see it in the preview - at this moment, anyway.
And they're probably still working on it, cause their server is slow like....
I'm sorry to see Danni's gone worse.
The photos aren't getting any better and the videos are getting more and more blurred. The models are almost the same as usual.
What's happend to this site?
We need a new, serious review from TBP.
The best thing you can say for it, is that the DRM is gone.
Is there anyone here who has taken a recent subscription to Danni.com who has a Mac? I was wondering if it's now possible to download all the movies to Mac, including the hi-res material, or whether one is still treated like a second-class citizen, limited to downloading the poor-grade stuff. Thanks
Whether it's getting frosty down in Satan's domain or the folks behind Danni.com just finally came to their senses, DRM has officially been banished by one of its most ardent supporters. I've been a member of the site with and without DRM and I can honestly say that there was absolutely no chance that I'd ever have joined again had they kept DRM. Why they thought this was a good idea in the first place is beyond me since the vast majority of users want to download their porn for that moment when the mood is right and the hard drive is ready to spin. ;)
It remains to be seen if this change will actually revitalize the site or return it to its former status as one of the top softcore sites on the internet that it was 10 years ago, but it's certainly a step in the right direction. Personally, I think the return of Danni Ashe to operating the site would definitely accomplish that, but since that's not in the cards we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
