+ Tons of content to see.
+ Large, regular updates.
+ Content looks pretty good.
+ All exlcusive material now. - A bit on the expensive side. - More download options would be nice. - Pictures could be a little larger.

Pros:
- Huge amount of content, both pics and vids.
- Zips for photosets.
- Search engine
- Model rating system, plus section for highest rated models and sets.
- Pics viewable in two sizes.
- Hard and softcore content separated.
- Several updates per week.
- Navigation is good.
Cons:
- High-res pics offered but at 1500x1000 they are still a tad behind some high-end sites.
- Most softcore vids seem to begin with an interview/chat session, which is a negative for me. Would rather have interview sessions separate. This is a minor nit, of course.
Bottom Line:
Karups HA is undoubtedly one of the best sites going, with amount of content vying with just about anyone at this point. To give you an idea of how much material there is here: in the softcore video section alone there are twenty-four vids per page, and there are seventy-one pages. The photo sections are just as impressive.
That aside, the site has all the bells & whistles one might expect at a premium site, which I listed in the cons. The drawing point for me is the photo archive. Though I could be wrong, it looks to me like a few well-known photographers had sets here in the old days: Toby from ATK, and Donovan Philips from DonnysGirls, to name two. If I'm wrong on this I'd be very surprised.
The newest vid I downloaded is 640x480 and shows a bitrate of 2683k. Newest pics come in at 1500x1000, which is nice, but 1600x1200 would be even better. Once again, a minor nit.
This is one of a small handful of sites which I have stayed with for a second month. Even with a fast connection it would take a long time to collect it all, and then you'd be very busy indeed.
Anyone interested in adult media would be remiss not to sign up here at least once. I seriously doubt that many people would find it terribly disappointing.

Pros:
- Over 550,000 photos online
- Over 1000 different girls to choose from
- 400+ Harcore movies and 1600+ softcore movies
- New updates 5 times a week
- Almost all exclusive content - fresh
- Navigation easy plus model index and ratings
- Photos available in two sizes with zip files
- Download speed is very good
- Keeps the amateur feel
Cons:
- Movies available in only one size and format WMV
- Photos largest resolution is 1500x1000. Not bad but would like to see larger to meet new standards
- Hardcore selection is good but I would like to see more focus on it.
Bottom Line:
Karups Hometown Amateurs is a very good site and it seems they have worked hard to improve the navigation and listen to their members. They just announced based on feedback that updates will now contain both photos and movies instead of one or the other. A nice addition.
I wish they would join in and start offering a higher resolution photo size in the high 2000's or even 3000's like some of the other top flight sites are doing these days. Also for videos I would like to see the addition of a high quality flash video as well.
I got my membership for $25 through Paysite Discounts so the value is definitely very good considering the 5 updates a week with over 3000 new photos and about 7 new videos each week. You definitely have lots of different girls to choose from which is a bonus and why I like joining these kind of sites.

Pros:
- Huge collection good looking young women, around 1000 models many posing for first time.
- Updates past 15 months have good quality photos around 1500x900 resolution sharp pictures with no blurring.
- Photos have a natural feel to it with no forced expressions pictures exaggerating the shy and naughty nature of these models.
- Good range of variety of posing (some hardcore) and location in the photo shoots.
- Lots of candid videos of decent quality.
Cons:
- High resolution photos only from 2006. Quality of photos before 2005 not the best.
- More of a photo site. Lots of videos not worth downloading older videos not of good quality.
- A bit too expensive $29 monthly and no really good multimonthly offers.
Bottom Line:
When I was a member back in 2006 this site didn't appeal to me much as the quality of photos and videos were not in par with the times. They used to rely on quantity rather than quality.
The sites have changed for the better recently to such an extend that I feel it is one the best amateur sites in the web quality being even better than the age old similar website Atk galleria. You can make out that the managers of this website have recently become picky choosing very good looking girls and trying to get as many first timers as possible.

Pros:
+ Wide array of Softcore Pics and Toys
+ Totally amateur, Super Niche Selections
+ As with most porn sites, HOT SEXY MODELS, some are familiar pornstars!!!!
Cons:
- Not a lot of hardcore selections
- Repeats of previously viewed models reappear as current updates, but with a new set of pics (Really cannot determine If this is good or bad)
Bottom Line:
OKAY IT'S MY TURN! :)
This website consists of plenty of softcore pics. Any person with a need for viewing gorgeous models simply posing and teasing the camera will over-indulge here cause of that. The only reason I did not give this site a 100 is because not enough hardcore, and in the harcode categories, it's the same guys doing the same thing. In an amateur site , I expect to see models with their actual boyfriends, more like a amateur couple sex site.
You have a bit more of a handful of model catagory that provides you the opportunity to view her in all galleries: Softcore, Hardcore, Athletic, Use of Toys, and are involved in Ethnic posing for the camera. Some don't do hardcore, ALL DOES SOFTCORE, a lot does toys.
Niche variety is TREMENDOUS!! If you do not explore all of them, you may miss some really good hidden vids and/or pics. I cannot determine download speed because I basically was viewing the website from my T-Mobile Dash.
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
- More content than you can view in a month, nearly 1,000 models.
- Video quality is very good, 640 on high end and are downloadable in full scenes.
- Many of these models are amateurs that I have never seen
- Navigation is pretty good at times, frustrating at others, but you get the hang of it.
- Photo quality is above average and available to download in zips
- Price seems high, but the price doesn't seem too bad when you see quanity/quality
Cons:
- The navigation is at times frustrating, especially at first. I found myself clicking the back button too much.
- Not for sure how long this site has been running, but the older content looks like mid-90s based on the colors, just not a lot of interest in those.
- Some of the picture sets just seem to end out of nowhere, will explain in BL
- Maybe this is just a pet peeve of mine, but I don't care for the lack of payment processor. Will explain in BL
Bottom Line:
Let me get those two negatives out of the way. When you join the Karups sites, you get an email that has a cancel link and you also have a link inside the site once you join to cancel. It works for me, but I would much prefer to see CCBill or Paycom handling the payments. The too fast ending picture sets. It seems like some of the sets focus too much on certain parts of the set, 5-6 pictures that are very similar poses, then it just ends. The sets have plenty of pictures but not enough variety in the poses.
Now for the good stuff, anytime you hear near 1,000 models, you know you are going to be busy for awhile. Models come in many varities here, ethnics, plain, busty, babes. The problem with that is the same on all sites like this. You may go through 30 models without finding one that you even want to click on. The navigation does help some here since it helps separate the models into groups, but then again, that means if the person putting these sets into groups has a different opinion than yours of what is ethnic and what isn't, well, you're going to have to do some digging.
The quality is very good considering the insane amount of content. For me, this is what really helps this site. The full scene movie downloads, zip downloads, high resolution pictures and above average movie resolution really does make the site worth its price. I was pleasently surprised overall by the amount and quality of content, and can recommend this site without hesitation!

Pros:
+ Thousands of vids
+ Large majority of vids are hardcore, buy there is a nice mix of both soft and hardcore.
+ More than just BLONDES!
+ Good quality vidoes (see cons as well)
+ Easy site acces
Cons:
- Videos are split up, so you can't do a 'full video' download
- Pricey (but is it worth it...)
- Newer vids are better resolution, while older content is hit-or-miss
Bottom Line:
I saw a link to this site on another site and thought, "why not!"
Since I'm a huge fan of softcore/ solo action, this site had alot to offer. Differing body types, not all the same hair color. Its nice to see a mix from time-to-time.
It's a good amature site, but really expensive. If you have to keep a closee budget, I'd go else where. I personally went for a bigger site with more content with more frequent updates.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
+ more then 1368 softcore videos
+ more then 336 hardcore videos
+ nice and attractive girls
+ all kind of breast- and hairtype
+ solo clip duration around 6 minutes
+ regular updates
+ no drm
+ no dl llimit
+ easy login system
+ exclusive content
Cons:
- websitedesign isn`t nice
- videos are split up in to 2 pieces
- no dl in one part
- older videos have lower quality
- no extras (webcam e. g.)
- other kara sites are not included in the price
(e. g. Karup's PC)
- price is to high
- dl speed 80-110 KB/S
Bottom Line:
if you search for mass solo mastrubation videos then you have to become a member of that site.
there are plenty videos with every kind of girls you can think of, from hairy to shaved from small to big breasted, from dildo to handplay, from soft- to hardcore.
ok, the dl speed isn`t really good but because of the splitted videos it`s also acceptable. also the "sometimes" talking in the videos isn`t quite good but hopefully the don`t play music :).
all in all, if you compare this site to the other with similar topics, then i have to say that 1 By Day is the better side.
there are more videos and the video quality is higher. also the list of special interests is bigger.
if they lower the price, below 20$, i think this site is realy close up to the leader of those kind of sites.

Pros:
- Lots of great looking women
- enough pics and videos to keep you busy for a long time
- Many of the videos are candid
- Clear authentic sound quality with some close oral sounds
- Nice hardcore. Nothing too brutal
- Plenty of softcore (my preference)
Cons:
- Limited video format: split in 2 (softcore) or 4 (hc)
- Could be more creative: Kinkier stuff, more teasing by women, experiment with makup and fetishes.
- needs better search engine (not big issue)
- more oral teasing and and oral sex.
Bottom Line:
Great site with lots of good content. I like more solo videos and shots. They are focusing on the amateur angle, but they could take more chances on new angles.
*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 figured i'd make this a comment rather than edit my review, since I doubt anyone would notice that.
I'm going through the older pic archives and for many sets, probably more than a dozen so far, the first four or five pages are simply repeated, extending the set to eight or nine pages. Naturally this makes the zip-file larger and you wind up with a bunch of superfluous files.
Is this an accident or is it done intentionally? If it's accidental, might I suggest fixing it? If it's intentional, I'd ask what the purpose of it is?
I've avoided downloading certain zips I otherwise would have wanted because of this doubling-up issue.
I was browsing around and took a peek at the site. Clicked a girl's thumb and it took me to the join page. Whoops! But we know that's pretty common. My mistake (was hoping for an enlargement or more sample pics, like they do at ATK Galleria).
Clicked to close the window and ... a box came up offering an unspecified "last minute discount." At the same time, another box came up with lines showing up (being typed) from a "live agent," it said. I think someone was there, reaching out to help me.
I finally figured out how to escape with my virtual, window-shopping self.
Just wondering if there's any reliable research that shows this kind of approach works. Me, I'll just go in and rejoin some day. Devi looks like being part of the "rationale."
Seeing that the webmaster of this site seems so responsive I thought I'd ask the question here.
This is for the subscribers to the site: Are the sets a good mixture of "portrait" and "landscape" style or are they shot mostly in "portrait?"
This is for the webmaster: If they are mostly "portrait" is there any chance of getting the photographers to take more pictures in my favorite format. To me it's a joy to see the whole screen of my monitor taken up by picture. "Portrait" with today's pics takes either too much scrolling, or too much reducing.
I've had enough time to read the reviews, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I'm not gonna stay with the site for very long, as it is just too pricey for me. I've had no problem with the content... its just the price.
In this day of Amateur meaning porn star, does this site have any big name porn stars on it, where the content was filmed maybe early in their careers or is it 100% amateurs? I haven't been on a good amateur site in a long time.
I was a member here a few years ago and loved the site, but when it came time to cancel I wound up having to email the webmaster and threaten to put a stop on my credit card. I hope this problem is taken care of. Probably is, since I see no mention of it in any of the reviews.
Been away from this one for a couple of years. There are some real improvements:
-thumbs in the "latest updates" section
-dates in the galleries
-zip or singles options of 1024 or 1500 in sets from early Feb. 07, and you can download a whole gallery at once (used to be a tedious one-zip-file-per-page affair)
-see nygiants' review for more
One problem, though, is speed. I've gotten a fair number of "404's" and had to reload pages, or the last few thumbs X out and have to be reloaded. It's too sluggish.
Another is getting back to a section from a gallery. Say, to return to page 4 of "Babes," there's no link. You have to copy it in the address bar and have it ready to paste-enter to get back.
A problem they've always had is that the girls have the hands on their butts in too many shots! Like, 9 out of 12 butt shots on a page. They need to do more "oh baby you're so good" butt shots, if you get my meaning ;)
