| Cons: |
-****Watch for CROSS SELL at bottom of sign up page, I had to scroll down to see it!****
-Pricy at $35 per month
-No zips
-Videos not named in a useful way "035HD.wmv"
-Are required to log in at seemingly random intervals anywhere from a few hours to a few days
-Download links expire when log in expires, but not all is lost, I will mention this again later
-They do require those retarded "guess the magic letters" pictures at the log in which screws up download managers from automatically logging in |
| Bottom Line: |
I just want to be clear that this review is for the network as a whole, not any individual site.
First I must say that there is a lot of content here. The site advertised over 750 GB which I believe is accurate. That 750 is assuming you download the largest file sizes and does not include that smaller duplicate files. I did not download this whole network, I know I know, it is out of character for me. However, I did download 612 GB of it so I can give you a fair representation of what you can expect.
This network offers a number of different niches and some of them are pretty unique. The anal smoothie is certainly exclusive and the videos of the girls prepping for the scenes is not usual either. While I do not think everyone will like this, I find it to be a nice touch.
Let talk about the videos themselves for a moment. Some of them look like old VHS tapes, likely because that is where they came from, and others look up to par with some of the better video sites. Golden Hardcore features porn from the 70's and similar times when the technical quality simply was not there and that must be expected. Much of the newer videos are shot in HD and look wonderful, as they should when they are as large as 2 GB in size!
I do have to be honest here, the pictures were nothing special but they were not bad for a network. I did not download any of the pictures because they did not offer zips and the hassle seemed to out weight the prize. Normal I would download them too, but I had a lazy spell.
Logging into the site is a bit annoying. Every time you log in it takes you to the network page where you pick the site you want. A new window opens and then you pick videos or pictures. So you have to refind your position every time you get logged out.
Another annoyance is that you can not navigate back to the network page from the individual sites, it seems to be a one way street. So you need to keep the network page's tab open as well as a tab for the site you are working on.
For those using a download manager, I use IDM. When you queue up a bunch of downloads there is a possibility of them stopping, even mid download, when your log in expires. Do not fret though. There is a random string of junk at the beginning of the URL, simply replace it with the new and resume your download. :)
Quicky Rundown
Size: Claims 750 GB, I believe it
Video: 640x480 @ 2.41 MBit to 1920x1080 at 7.47 MBit and everywhere in between
Average video size: About 500 MB
Size Range: 6 MB up to 2 GB, even spread
I downloaded 1600 videos with that 612 GB
Join this site? Yes or No?
Overall, YES.
Watch some trailers first, if you like what you see than go for it. But, only for a month. Get what you want and get out, it simply cost too much to hang around long. If there is only a few things of interest go for the full access trial.This network has a mix for great and terrible, you just have to weed through it.
Happy Hoarding! |

| Pros: |
$5 2 Day Trial
20+ Sites
Good Download Speed
Mediocre Search
Download Manager Compatible
Dedicated Site to Mya Pornstar
I love the Mya site, although it is not updated anymore. She is one of my favorite pornstars. |
| Cons: |
Most sites do not update.
A lot of sites are 90% BJ
50% of videos are non exclusive.
Pornstar IQ site is a waste
Mediocre Videos
There are better sites for old "DVD Box" videos. Why waste time with the ones on this site. |
| Bottom Line: |
The content quality is average. The actual video and download are high quality. A lot of the recent updates have been for Pornstar IQ, which is not hardcore, and Swirlie Girls, which is 90% BJ. If listening to girls talk and suck is your deal this is still a mediocre site for that.
Is this site worth it? It is definitely worth $5 for the unlimited trial. Just make sure to cancel, or you will be stuck paying over $30. Pillage for 2 days once a year, and this site has served its purpose. |

| Pros: |
+ Decent 2 day, $5 full access trial through TBP
+ Mostly exclusive material (more than 50% I'd say)
+ No DRM
+ 5 sites have HD video
+ 13 sites to choose from
+ Network wide search function for girls, acts, etc. |
| Cons: |
- Primarily a video site, although they advertise pics they generally aren't that good
- Quality varies from excellent to total crap
- Prechecked membership boxes on signup form
- Some of the usual 3rd party bonus sites but can't view the content (lure to sign you up only)
- Pics have no zips and all pics for the set appear on one page and individual pics come up in separate window
- Sporadic updates |
| Bottom Line: |
This is a network that doesn't quite know where it's going. It has some more mainstream sites but then throws in some more extreme sites. The network advertises pictures but for the most part the quality is average at best while sizes go from 1600x1200 to useless small screencaps. The vids are the most consistent in quality and quantity with the standard being 640x480 wmv with decent download speeds and some HD sites tossed in.
The following are the sites I'd score in the 70's:
Iloveyouceleste; Iloveyoumya; Iloveyoumelanie; Iloveyoumadison. All sites have about 32 vids and 22 pic sets (1000x720). The vids go HD here (up to 1440x1080). All the girls are relatively attractive and they do solo, HC, toys and lesbo. The girls often appear in each other's sites so there is a lot of overlap. Each also has a pointless and brainless diary.
Attackmyass. Has pics, 35 sets, up to 1500x1000 but most are 1000x750). Vids, about 80, are average. Mostly outside content with known pornstars.
Pleasebegentle. Younger pornstar sex with 66 vids and only a couple of photosets. Vids are average but good quality.
Chopsticksluts. Nonoriginal asian porn with average quality at best.
The following, in my opinion, fall at or below the "Mendoza Line" score of 70:
Pornstarsolos: 77 average sized vids and 60 pic sets (most 800x1200). Nothing original here and some photo sets are just partials.
Asssmoothie: This I don't quite get. You see girl, girl strips, girl fires up the blender, girl lays on floor and dumps goo in her booty, girl pushes goo out the tail pipe and then it goes down the hatch. Breakfast of champions, mmmm. This is the same setup for virtually every set; all 150 vids and 52 pic sets. They have HD vids here which is a waste because if you've seen one you've seen 'em all.
Swirliegirls: High school nerd abuse? Not really, just another site I don't get. Every scene (25 pic and 25 vid which are OK) has a girl in a toilet doing some violent bj stuff and then getting her head flushed. Tries to be brutal but most of it isn't. Again, everything is the same in every scene.
Herlastfuck: This is like a slow motion car wreck, you know it's going to hurt but you just have to peek. The vids are average at best and the pics are worthless. It's all seriously ancient eastern euro women looking for some rubles after the Soviet Union collapsed and their pensions disappeared. I couldn't bring myself to wach the 86 yr old woman give a bj. Fat and nasty is the theme here.
There are a few more sites here which, again, have varying quality and pretty standard content and rate high 60's or low 70's but they don't merit any real discussion. With such a range of quality, only OK photos, and sporadic updates I couldn't score this site in the 80's. Given that so much is average, average be the score.
I did the 2 day trial and that was more than enough to take what I wanted and get out. Don't bother with the month here |

*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.
