| Pros: |
+100% exclusive content
+Long list of network sites organizing content by type
+New updated layout makes it very easy to see new additions to the network
+HiRes caps are available for scenes
+Site is friendly to dial-up users as all movies are offered in split files, with choices of HQ or LQ.
+All movies offered as MPG or WMV
+Older movies are still are very high quality
+Newer scenes offer non-split file download.
+Superb download speeds
+PlatinumFeeds DVD archive site provided as bonus. I love this bonus site, ridiculous amount of DVDs on their site, although you can't download them by conventional means, have to use a stream downloader, and the movies are not split.
+Continuous creation new network sites (see cons also).
+List of upcoming scenes provided with expected date of arrival
+You can download that controversial scene with Courtney Simpson where she is wearing her ASU cheerleader uniform, although the hi-res images blur the ASU text. |
| Cons: |
-No organization by performer over all sites like other network sites offer (RealityKings, BangBros, Brazzers, etc.). You have to go through every site to find stuff.
-Update schedule not great (~1 scene/day), but has improved over time
-Some of the network sites use the very old layout (which is like night compared to day when compared to the newer layout)
-While they have a long list of network sites more than half of them have not seen an update in a long time (2007, and sometimes even 2006)
-Mixture of video standards. Oldest content only available as 320x240MPG, newer movies offered in non-standard 5:4 resolutions (450x300, 360x240), older content available in standard 640x480 and 320x240, while some videos are stretched 720x480. Rather annoying.
-Older content only offered in split files, no joined file available
-Watermarks are on all videos
-Continuous creation of new network sites detracts from updating older network sites.
-Site directory does not list last-update text. |
| Bottom Line: |
Overall it is a decent purchase, although I wouldn't recommend holding on to it for anymore than a month at a time. All the downloads have no DRM and they never remove any content (as evidenced by the fact that they never removed the controversial scene with Courtney Simpson and her ASU uniform), so you might as well just buy a month here and there, like I do. $29.95 is expensive in my book, but you get more than you would with DVD sites because 100% of the content is exclusive.
If you have never had meatmembers membership before, you have not missed much and you are joining at the best time. All the content is the same and they just keep updating the site for the better, improving the layout immensely. The current layout is the best it has ever been - it is easily navigated and you can see when content was added to the site and keep track of new additions. Back in the day there was no list of recent additions. You had to go through every one of their 30-some sites and check for new additions manually, and at that time the layout on each network site did not list dates, or a nice thumbnail layout like you will find now. If you want to know what I mean, if you join MeatMembers goto the Meatholes site. That site still maintains the very old layout, where you have like 20 pages (where there is no page directory, but a set of back and forward page buttons), and each page has 5 scenes per page where you scroll down these excessively long pages to view the preview images of the scenes. All the scenes are titles like "Scene #103", "Scene #104", etc. No dates. That was the dark days of this site. You pretty much had to write down the last scene number you saw.
Later updates to the site added a new additions list but missed a lot of new additions, still requiring users to go through all 30-some network sites to find additions they missed.
However, even with the improvements you will still find yourself going through all the network sites (you get used to it eventually). The last con I listed "Site directory does not list last-update text", is important. Even though the layout has been updated and you get to see all the recent additions, there is no text anywhere showing you when the network sites were last updated. So you have no clue if a site was last updated 2 years ago or yesterday without visiting it manually. So I still find myself going through all the 30-40 some network sites to see if I missed updates.
And this is why I put MeatMembers in the "average" category. There is a lot of things it can improve upon:
1) update the layout on some of their network sites which have not been updated to the most recent (e.g. MeatHoles)
2) list the last updated date under each network site
3) provide videos in standard 4:3 resolutions
4) standardize resolutions (too many different standards available)
5) remaster oldest content |

| Pros: |
- Large network at a reasonable price
- Almost daily updates
- Fast downloads
- Most scenes have pictures or vidcaps
- DRM-free |
| Cons: |
- Full movie downloads only for some sites' latest movies
- Very slow member site
- Non-exclusive content: DVD-ripped content
- Most sites not updating: some sites have been abandoned since 2006 |
| Bottom Line: |
This network had a lot of potential when I joined. There was a large selection of sites (53) with different themes, although most could be grouped into anal sex, facials, and lesbian sex. The price was right at $29.95 for all sites access. However, I was disappointed when I finally got to the member's section and realized that most of the videos on the site would have to be downloaded in parts.
After combing through all of the network sites, I have found the following to have full movie downloads as of 11/12/08: Anal Cum Junkies (1), Anal Lick Fest (2), Cat Fight Gang Bang (all 30+), Fucked Up Facials (3), Its Facials (all 10), and No Cum Dodging Allowed (all 9 since 7/18/08). Out of 53 sites, only 6 had any full movie downloads at all. Also, many sites have been simply abandoned, including Double Dip'Er, Creamed Cornholes, and Riot Whores, which haven't been updated since 2006.
Some other things of note: navigation is very slow, even on a 20mbps down cable connection; despite slow navigation, download speeds were reasonable; many movies appear to be DVD rips from a similar DVD series, such as Hellfire Sex.
Overall, I came away disappointed by this network. I'm glad that I didn't pay $29.95 for any of the individual sites as that would have been a waste of money. For the entire network, I think it is a reasonable price. But know what you're getting first. |

| Pros: |
- 46 Sites included in this big network
- If you like extreme hardcore, this is about as extreme as it gets.
- Some of the sites have up to 640 high end on their videos
- The sites with pictures do have zip downloads
- Good download speeds |
| Cons: |
- Only found 4 of the sites to be interesting.
- Price is too high, there are other networks with similar content with better quality for lower prices
- Most of the sites were on the small side, I think they could easily group some of these together.
- Some of the sites videos are below 400 on high end, come on people, it is 2008, 640 just about has to be considered the happy medium
- Even the sites that had a theme that I was interested in, didn't really live up to that theme |
| Bottom Line: |
This was one of those joins that I wasn't for sure about, but I saw where they had some Sativa Rose content and a few others that I like so I will take the one month plunge.
Most of these sites on this network just scream, "generic" content. They have several blowjob sites, and I will never understand why they need more than one site, just put them all on one. I am starting to think networks do this, not just to be able to advertise a higher number of sites than their competition, but also thinking that most people won't fool with visiting the 6 different blowjob sites.
The quality at best is average on the videos. Most of the sites best quality videos are 445 high end, a few do have 640 high end. Having picture zips is always a nice feature, but all of the sites don't have pictures and the pictures aren't high resolution.
The overly violent content will definitely make some not even consider, so let me add that while I have seen worse in porn, the violence level here is pretty high if you are offended easily. You get a lot of throat gagging.
I'm not really into the models who have pounds of make-up on, especially when their eye shadow ends up smeared from being choked.
Best sites, the POV ones are pretty good, Catfight Gangbang is pretty good, Hellfire Sex is pretty good if you are into goth looks and Tease it Out is pretty good. I didn't keep anything from the other sites. Overall, I can't recommend it unless you like extreme very hardcore sex. |

| Pros: |
+ Some very solid sites
+ Lots of content
+ Great selection of girls
+ Nice selection of niches
+ Movies have screen shots
+ Some sites are updating making the movie and picture quality better |
| Cons: |
- Some movies have missing parts
- Some sites haven't been updated for while (Some 2006)
- Picture options were offered with some movies when there are no pictures in the link
- really messy navigation, most have sites follow the same navigation system, about two have one that are even worse!
- No search function at all
- Movies are broken down into parts, the least I have seen is 4 the most is 25! (Only the older ones had 25) |
| Bottom Line: |
I enjoyed meatmebers content, this website does a few things right, yet at the same times really needs to work on certain things to make itself better.
What works for the website is the great amount of content and all the niches this site has to offer, I really enjoyed the reality websites this site has such as Frank Wank and Midnight Prowl. The websites that are being focused on have great content and is getting better over time. The girls that are shown in the movies, are all very attractive, there were barely any that I thought were very unattractive, and nice range of popular porn stars and some amateur girls are shown here. Finally is the content, some content on this site is original and some that is not, overall I did enjoy most of content, I also enjoyed most the niches that were offered.
What this site needs to work is the navigation!!! It is very simple, yet at the same time I did not find it easy to find the content I liked, no search function at all makes it hard to find the movie you want. Movie quality is inconstant between some sites, and the older movies. Also that most of the sites are not being updated at all. The web-masters seems to have no creativity in the layout of the site.
To warp things up, I did enjoy this website. If some of the websites interests you specifically the ones that are being updated then it's worth checking out, it does take time to get use to site's navigation, but once you figure it out, you can spend a lot time here |

| Pros: |
-The quantity of content on this site is quite high with nearly 50 different sites on a variety of niches
-Most videos are of decent quality running around 1 mbps on average with multiple formats (WMV & MPEG) and a lower quality download/stream for dial up users
-The best sites in my opinion like Meatholes, Hell Fire Sex, and RiotWhores have very extreme sexual encounters and the reputation of Meatmembers on these sites is well deserved
-Many recent pornstars can be found at the various sites |
| Cons: |
-At least half of the sites seem to be abandoned and don't update anymore, so while they have achives with videos and photos, their inactive status makes the network smaller than it claims
-None of the videos are available to streamed or downloaded as a single clip
-Nearly every site in the netowrk advertises hi res photos, but most don't or only have a few, leaving just vidcaps
-Other than the best sites named above, the majority of them aren't extreme and rather tame by gonzo standards |
| Bottom Line: |
When I began reviewing sites on the Meatmembers network I was very pleased with not only the extreme nature of the best known sites but also with the creativity and uniqueness. However, as I reviewed more sites I began to sense a pattern of falling quality into the more average networks out there.
Navigating the network is easy with a central page linking all the sites with recent and upcoming updates. It's a little cluttered, but with that much content it's hard not to be. Each site offers a vidcap list of performers with clear links for videos and photos below. In most cases they worked fine and preferred settings for video quality were saved throughout the network. My only complaint was some broken links on a couple of sites which just seemed a bit lazy to me.
Video quality, while not HD, was adequate for a braodband connection averaging around 1 mbps for streaming and downloading in two different formats (WMV & MPEG) and a lower setting for dial up users. Just about every site's episodes had vidcaps but most sites, especially their older content, had very little hi res shots even though links for them were always shown.
There is little doubt that the flagships sites of this network offer some pretty extreme content at very good quality, but after awhile the content is about as routine as it gets. For me that took away a lot of the luster. On the plus side is the amount of content you get for $30 and if you like extreme at all I suggest you give this one a try. |

| Pros: |
You get access to multiple sites covering a variety of categories, and each day you're provided with two or three scene updates, which seems reasonable. If you like hardcore action that's not always respectful of women, this would seem to be a logical choice for you. Each site in the package has an archive that often allows you to choose from among several past scenes. It offers "extreme" content, such as Midnight Prowl, where women have sex with strangers in porn shops. |
| Cons: |
Several sites in this package no longer update, and even those considered "active" haven't updated in months, so users are provided current scenes from only a limited number of truly active sites. This is rude and crude stuff mostly ... reality video with a jiggling camera and inane interviews. Also, the package allows for no crossover search in the event you wish to know if a model has done scenes for other sites in the package. (Many models overlap.) |
| Bottom Line: |
Guys into hardcore likely find this package worth the money simply because of the number of sites (and the number of archived scenes). It is what it is; it doesn't pretend to be anything else. It's a caveman's delight. |

*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.
