I do but it's not a big difference. If a site would be an 83 but has a low price, it will bounce up to maybe 85-86. If it has a high price, it will drop to 80-81. Biggest time price factors in is when a site has very little content and isn't updating. But a site with little content and no updates is going to score low anyway.

Pros:
- This site continues to push the technical quality boundaries and probably has the highest production value of any site.
- Numbers will be broken down in the bottom line. The video quality is and has been at 1920x1080 for a good while. The picture quality also is an impressive 2400x1800 in "large" quality and come zipped.
- While the update frequency may not be comparable to some of the big networks, they average between 10-11 updates per month.
- The settings on this site are different from most sites you will join. From tropical locations to indoors at large houses to farms and lush fields. The outfits are also fitting of the settings. The only site I know of that goes through this much setup is ALS Scan.
- You'll be hard-pressed to find a model who isn't attractive.
- Download speeds are excellent (95% of max)
- Navigation is easy to use and also gives you the options to search by year, model name, age, nationality and location.
- Will further these in the BL.
Cons:
- Probably the only real valid con. I think there should be more pictures in the photo sets. Maybe 300 even. It's a con that's a compliment. The pictures are some of the best I've seen, but they skip a lot of the teasing seen in the videos.
- I'm still going to complain about the price, but I only join it once per year so it's not a very big complaint. I use it as my Christmas present to myself.
- This one was more frustration than anything. There was a few days where the site would open, models could be viewed, but when you clicked on a model, it wouldn't let me go into the download section. Lasted 3-4 hours each time. It only happened twice though.
Bottom Line:
This re-review started out as one of the harder ones I've done. I have mostly joined networks the past year and at first found myself frustrated with the update frequency of In The Crack. Keeping in mind, I had all the content I wanted coming into 2011's updates. It almost was enough of an initial letdown to stop me from rejoining this year, but they had 4 Jinx/Jynx Maze updates and that pushed me to join. As the subscription has went on, my respect and enjoyment from this site keeps growing. This will be slightly different than most reviews I write.
Production values of this site have made me notice production values. I wanted to bitch and gripe about the "only" 11 or so average of updates per month, but when I started looking at the sets, I realized it wouldn't be possible to make that many updates. They have settings ranging from tropical beaches to large houses to country/farm settings and the models' outfits fit the settings accordingly. When I compare this to the majority of sites I have joined in the last year where the setting is almost always the same, the outfits are almost always the same or similar at least, it made me look at this site differently.
On August 13th, 2007, ITC had their first 1920x1080 video, ironically, featuring the model August. Considering this site has been around since 2001, it may sound like half their content would be lesser quality, but it's not true. ITC's original problem was lack of updates. So for once, a lack of updates in the early years of a site's life is going to really help here. An example of this: For the year 2002, they had a total of 11 updates...for the whole year. In May of 2011, they had 13 updates just for May.
As of February 20th, 2012, they have 622 scenes. Of those, 509 have the 1920x1080 option. Those 509 have three video options, 1920x1080, 1280x720 and 640x360. The earlier 113 scenes have two video options of 640x480 and 320x240. This made me re-think complaining about updates since they are releasing 100+ updates per year now, combined with the high production value and high technical quality. Another thing I have noticed about their content is if they have a model I collect or consider a favorite, their content of her will be near or at the top of my list of her content. This is especially true of the pictures. Now I have a complaint.
If I could change one thing about this site it is that I would add more pictures to the sets. With all the time and probably money spent on the best models, settings, outfits, why not bump those picture sets up to 300 or more photos? It would flesh out the updates too.
Possible con for some and I originally listed it as a con in my last review, but I think there is a reason for this. The videos do not have a full scene download option, they are each broken into parts and the parts represent a certain action you're going to see in each part. One part is pissing, one part is stripping, one part is masturbation, one part is close-ups and you get the drift. I would guess these different actions require moving to different locations in the setting and also think it gives the members a choice of what they want to see since I know some are disgusted by pissing, even the close-ups, so you can pick and choose what you want. A full scene option would be nice, since if I like a model, I'm going to download all parts anyway, but I'm more neutral on it than calling it a pro or con.
You will occasionally get the feeling of the scenes being formulaic, but I'm thinking that's what they're going for. You're going to get what you expect from each scene. This is again where I think more photos in the sets would make an improvement.
Another thing I think could help here is more girl/girl scenes. By my count, out of the 622 scenes, they have 17 girl/girl scenes with at least one being girl/girl/girl. Their lesbian scenes are easily some of the best I've seen. I don't even think it needs to become a regular part of the site, but maybe 1 or 2 per month just to break the monotony of the formulaic solo scenes.
With all this being said, I think they suceed at creating a different and unique porn site. I would estimate after this last membership that I have around 90% of their content and have yet to delete one scene. That far outweighs giving me 1,000s of scenes that I will only keep a handful of. It's one of those that I can't recommend highly enough. I do think viewing the content with an open mind, noticing the production value, the work that is put into the sets, adds even more to its value. I still won't join more than once per year though. In a way though, maybe that's a positive too? Instead of joining every 3 months and sifting through the tons of updates, I know I'm downloading most everything new for the past year.
I really like Team Skeet and their webmaster is helpful if needed. It's an especially good network if you like the schoolgirl niche. I think they do it better than any site, plus their male talent isn't overly obnoxious or chatty. I also like their Latina site, more so than just for Latinas. Nearly all the girls on it are amateurs. A few will show up on another site or two, but you don't see a lot of common Latina pornstars on Oye Loca. You get the feeling they have to put a lot into these scenes, travel, hunting the models and from the way the webmaster talks they are a fairly small operation without a lot of staff.
I've been in a relatively negative mood lately with sites. I would have picked 21 Sextury just based on them being consistently good for so long, but I don't like the new format and the newer content just doesn't compare to their older scenes. Just did a full subscription to Videobox with Evil Angel/Vivid channels added from the start, added Kink channel in the last week to get the prorated price and felt mostly ripped off. The servers were slow throughout the membership and they now have some kind of server reset each day. If you're downloading files when it resets, the files will be broken. For the whole month of membership including the 3 channels, I downloaded around 90 GB. That's at a total cost of roughly $45. Was on Nubiles a few months ago and had the same impression I always do with them. Everything is very good except they get models very early in their career and the models are much tamer than they have become in other scenes on other sites. Still a good site and buy though. Haven't been to DDF in over a year. Haven't been to TD in over 2 years.
No DL limit for me, but the cancel hijinks are back
This probably isn't any different than the comment posted a few days ago about cancellation problems with Brazzers. Reality Kings likes to make canceling a pain too. I can at least say that I didn't hit a download limit and topped 10 GB per day each day of my membership. And I did sign-up through the promo discounted email if that possibly could make a difference. That's the sort of good news. Then there's the bad news. I'm going to post this just in case anyone joins and isn't familiar with the trick cancellation process. It may be unfair to call it a trick, but it's just as bad as cross-sales, which by the way, like another PU posted, I have joined RK many times, never missed the cross-sale until this time and it got me. Kind of strange they got both of us, but hadn't before. So watch out for that one since it seems to be working for them.
Okay, when you go to cancel, you enter two of the possible four things they ask for. It will locate your account and give you this message.
Are you sure you don't want to stay?
You answer "No thanks"
Another screen opens with a special offer price and asks if you want the special offer.
You answer "No thanks"
Third screen opens to confirm one more time. The options are.
Yes and
No, I've changed my mind.
Come on RK, that's just wrong. After clicking two no answers in a row then wording the third one so the person would click no again? Which would stop the cancellation? None of this would be so bad if they didn't use very poor grammar on the first question to make it where you click "no thanks" to get you in the motion of clicking no.
Luckily, I had been through this process with Brazzers before and I bitched about that one too. So maybe RK will drop this stupid cancellation process like Brazzers did. It's bad enough the missed cross-sale canceled out the $5 I was saving by joining through the promo email and even worse that a more than dozen time member has to watch every word to cancel. It will probably be another year now before I join again. How's that for marketing strategy?
And hopefully others will read about the cancellation process and be aware of it.
Really depends for me. I've tried to differentiate in my reviews. In reviews of sites that I personally enjoy the content of, I will review more from the perspective I have towards the content. If it's content that I wasn't into as much personally, I try to review it from potential members perspectives who would enjoy the style/genre. Based on that, if it's a site that I don't personally enjoy, I do take into account how much content there is, but if it's a site I do enjoy the content of, the quantity becomes less important to the score.
I used the comparison before. If a site has 2,000 scenes but I only keep 20 scenes is it really better than a site that has only 40 scenes, but I keep all 40 scenes?
With that said, that's why the sites with the lesser appealing content to me personally get a different scoring system since I figure others more interested in the genre would keep more than 20 out of 2,000 scenes.
I have been having the same problem messmer. I mainly use VB2 and it's not even showing up part of the time. Also having to download 5-6 files at one time to get a decent download speed.

Pros:
- Kiara Mia is a very pretty solo model who is hard to find content of.
- If you try to leave the site after taking the tour you are offered a lower price of $19.75.
- Some pictures have extremely high resolutions, some go near 6000 long end.
- Site is fast
- 13 similar solo sites included in membership
Cons:
- Where to start? First of all the site has no downloads to speak of. You can't download the videos and though some of the picture sets have a download link, it doesn't work.
- Really old style of updates, including up to 10 parts/updates for ONE photoset. Videos are also updated this way and can be streamed.
- From looking at two of the bonus sites, Isis Taylor, Nina Mercedez, those sites also offer no downloads.
- To ask $30 for this group of poor sites with very low quantity counts is borderline criminal. Honestly, I don't even like this model anymore. That's how disgusted this site made me.
- Speaking of criminal, some of the videos and picture sets are from Brazzers and Aziani. I'm sure they have rights to use those, but I already had those videos from Brazzers and Aziani.
- Archived webcam shows are poor. One includes Kiara fully dressed until the last 2 minutes, just sitting and talking. I joined a porn site not a "tell me about your GD life site".
Bottom Line:
I probably could have went on with cons for another 1000 characters or so. I am not kidding when I say this or exaggerating, I cancelled my membership with this site within 9 minutes of joining it, according to my ccbill receipts. I got burnt on some solo sites a few months ago. Made myself write, "I will not fall for those solo sites anymore" 500 times, then fell for it again.
There is a little good. I tell you though, you're going to have to work to get the good. The good is you can use a legal bulk image software downloader to download all the photos in each set.
Every set that has a "download this set in zip" link gives me a 403 Forbidden message when I click it, so using the bulk downloader was the only choice since I'm not going to go back to 1998 and do right click save as on each photo.
Most of the pictures are 1500x1000, but I would say 15-20% are in the 3500x6000 range. The reason I had been drawn to this model was a set I saw on Reality Kings that had her in it for about 1-2 minutes. It was one of those sets that has 15-20 women in it. She really stood out in that video and I had been looking for content of her ever since seeing it. I did a few sets on Brazzers, but haven't had much luck anywhere else.
So these pictures, despite being a pain in the ass to download, are pretty rare. There also are a lot of pictures. The thing is, there isn't a lot of sets. For those that were around porn sites in the early 2000s, you'll know this practice that this group of sites practices.
Here's what you see when you join. There are 20 photo sets per page and there are 15 pages. That's 300 photo sets. Right? Or roughly. Hell, lets say 250 photo sets.
Looking on my hard drive, there are roughly 50 photo sets. These include sets as small as 15 photos of Kiara at a gay/lesbian celebration. I don't have 50, my count is 37, but I grouped most of the candid ones into one folder so I'm giving them a boost when I say 50. I can tell you that there are roughly 4,000 photos. You can do the math. They have 250 or so photo sets listed, 4,000 pictures, there's roughly 15-25 photos in each set. Now for the fun part. You'll find photos that went with a set updated in late 2009, in the late 2010 updates and have to drop them into the right folder.
I can't support that. It's misleading, it's 2012, piece photo sets together over 7-8 updates is a hassle and a cheap way to boost the content count. This wouldn't have been so bad if the videos weren't done the same way, but they are. This gets worse too. Besides only allowing streaming, they release a video in parts, 2-5 on some, then they release the "full" video as a new update.
This site's earliest content is dated 8-3-2009. That means this site is nearly 2.5 years old. It has roughly 40-50 photo sets and around 20 full videos. Based on this pace, the site has been up for 129 weeks, thanks date duration calculator and has roughly 60-70 full scenes or photo sets.
I can't tell you how pitiful that is and it's still updating too. They list their updates now as 3-4 times a week, but they are tiny pieces of full sets of photos or tiny pieces of videos. Plus you have to go through the hassle of using an image downloader and can't download the movies.
On the blog, Kiara has posted one time that I see. On her twitter which is linked to the site, she mostly brags about how much money she is making. That didn't help my perception of her. Oh and lets go back to late 90s, early 2000s again, she has a wish list too of all the things you are welcome to buy her and send her. There's something to be said about models who are satisfied with people willing to pay money to look at them naked.
Technically, the photos are good to excellent. Nice resolutions, colors, settings and poses. The videos vary in streaming quality since some do come from other sites. Some look to be 720p, maybe, others look to be in the 480p range.
The webcam shows are still active, I think. There was one in the last month, but there was a full 6 month lull in these also in the archived section. Sadly, the best ones are the ones of her just talking. The others are webcam recordings of photo shoots. That's exciting, huh? Lets watch photo or video shoots from a blurry camera across on the other side of the room!
Not to worry to the webmaster or Kiara, I'm not making fun of you all. I'm obviously the dumbass here. I will enjoy the pictures though after 6 hours of loading a bulk downloader. Oh and on that, a few of the newer sets have broken image links, so you can't even use the bulk downloader on those. I gave the site 5 points for having a nice looking site and a rare model. That is how my recommendation for this site will work.
If, like me, you just have to have those 4,000 pictures of her and don't mind the hassle of the image downloader then you might not feel too ripped off. Otherwise, unless you just like throwing money down the drain, don't join this site.
I had been wanting to try this site out since they have 3 scenes I wanted so I signed up for the trial, mainly because it was through ccbill. Once inside and signed in, I can't do anything. There's no way to download a scene because the icons for downloads are not clickable. If you right click and "save as" you receive an "index" file. They have added a second bonus site called Argentinian Porno, but it only has 8 scenes on it. The two sites combined have a total of 42 scenes.
I'm guessing they have removed the full-access from the trial or it could be a problem with the site too though since it doesn't even recognize me as being signed in. The two options that I can click are, "Purchase scene" which is $15.99 to buy one scene and it says, "YOU DO NOT have to be a site member to purchase an individual video/ scene. Please click on "Pay with credit card" button to proceed with the purchase. Every Full video/scene is $ 15.99"
The other option that I can click, "Create a new account". Just to make sure, I cleared out my cookies and tried it again with both IE and Firefox, but I still get the same result where the site looks broken or the trial is equal to no access since you can only view a 2 minute trailer, which most free previews let you do.

Pros:
- A re-review that I didn't think was needed until I used the new format of the site some more, one of the biggest collections of exotic women on the internet and the new format of the website makes the site work much better than before.
- Newer videos have a 1280x720 HD option, a small (.mp4) version, a standard .mp4 version and a standard .wmv version. Older videos have standard DVD resolution with .wmv and .mov files.
- New site formatting and layout is really nice. This may be hard for some to appreciate unless you were a member back in say 2007-2009. BL will expand on this.
- Newer picture sets are 3000 high end and come zipped, also has a custom zip option. Most of all the photo sets are at least 1500 long end, outside of the random very old sets.
- Search engine has improved greatly.
- Pictures, retain an amateur feel...done professionally.
- This one will also show up in cons, about 75% of the time, site is giving me 100% max download speed, very impressive.
Cons:
- The biggest con is one I don't think I had ran into on here before, but the improved search engine could be making it easier to find these by accident. I understand that exotic means "different" to some, but women with hairy armpits and hairy arms and hairy legs have a place on ATK Hairy. I will go into it more in BL.
- I am still impressed by the update schedule that I talked about in my previous comment on this site, but it may be a little different than it first appeared to me, one of the day's updates, each week, looks to be from ATK Archives and while I listed 10 videos each week in the previous comment, it then dropped to 8 the very next week, then went up to 9 this past week. It's not a big con, but I did want to note the change.
- Only other one, sometimes the site is painfully slow. I do think 80% fast, 20% slow is pretty accurate. When it's in the slow speed state, I have to download 4 files at once to reach 75% of my max download speed.
Bottom Line:
The majority of my feelings towards this new version or format of ATK Exotics are very positive. I don't remember how many updates they used to have, but it definitely seems like they are updating more than I remember and the addition of HD .mp4 files on the videos is nice though I have never looked to the ATK sites for videos, preferring their photo sets. The videos are improving too though.
I want to go into the one big con since it's purely subjective. I had noticed messmer's comments on ATK Hairy, about how some of the sets were going with too much hairy. I'm not against pubic hair and do prefer some pubic hair. I don't really care for the full bush, but if the model is hot enough, the full bush won't even completely turn me away. What's the deal with the women with more underarm hair than me? A few even have the outline of mustaches. I understand that it is natural for some women to have more body hair than others, but lets have them with their arm up in their thumbnail.
Seriously, it's a very big turn-off. I noticed one of the hairy underarm ones has her arm up in her thumbnail. That's not too bad to see since it's a small picture. I think the re-review score would have been a little higher if I hadn't started running into these extremely hairy models.
It's not a big con on the updates including a day of Archive content, but I did want to mention it as well as the movies going from 10 a week for 2-3 weeks straight then dropping to 8 then up a little to 9. Neither of these would stop me from recommending or re-joining the site since I think the site does most everything right.
Onto the good, I really can't say enough for the positive changes in the site. I don't know when these changes went into effect, but they weren't completely there the last time I was member which was in January 2011. The search engine is much better as well though they still have the tags I don't see as very useful, but the ethnicity tags seem to be working perfectly and it's a multiple tier search so you can easily search for "Latina" then specify the year "2011" and it works.
Also am very happy to see them doing more sets of black women. They did some in the past, but now, at least for this month, the black models are getting as much coverage as any of the other ethnic groups.
Glad also to see the HD videos. I also don't think ATK's sites need to go to 1920x1080. Even though I download the videos of the models I like, I prefer ATK's pictures of them and the videos are just like icing on the cake at their sites so 1280x720 is plenty good for me, they also are not the overly huge files, most of the HD ones are running in the 500 MB range.
I tried the custom zip feature out. I don't think I remember a site having this that I have been on or I may have missed it in the past. You click to create a custom zip and it lets you pick what resolution you want, though this changes based on if there is a higher resolution available. You then see the images in the set and click each one you want added to the zip. Pretty nifty feature. It reminds me of Videobox's old "make your own clip" feature.
One thing I noticed that the new format has improved. I am finding models from 2006 that I did not have in my collection that I wanted. I do think this is because of the much easier to use site and search engine, but it's just as much showing how bad the old format and search engine were too.
It's hard to believe in this day and age of porn sites refusing change, that just 3 years ago this site's navigation was terrible, they only offered photo zips in parts and more times than not, I would visit it daily for the first week then wouldn't go back until near the end of the membership. This time, I have visited daily and allowed it to recur because there have been so many models that I have missed in the past that I can now find. They deserve the praise for that. Do something with the hairy models, like keep them on ATK Hairy or even slap a "Hairy armpits" icon on them. I don't mind that others like that, but I doubt those who do and join a site like ATK Hairy would want to see quite a few perfectly shaven models either on it.
In closing, the speed of the site and speed of downloads is seemingly the best I have seen when it's going good. I hadn't seen my download speed go that high on any site, but it does have its slow time which could just be peak hours. It's a fair enough trade off since the fast time is more frequent than the slow.
On recommending it, I would recommend it over all exotic/ethnic model photo sites now and even to those who have been a member in the past because it does come off as a whole new site. They also do have a few free cam shows each month, but they're never on when I have access to the computer.
I went with "other" for a couple of reasons. One, I hate download limits of any kind. My first "punished" review was of Kink's Ultimate Surrender back in 2007 or so, where I removed 20 points because they had a 10 GB per month limit. I probably wouldn't have been that upset if I hadn't run out of GB limit before even downloading, all of the star of the site's content, Dragon Lily. Of course, 10 GB per month was just crazy. Reality Kings back then had a 1 GB per day limit which was nearly as bad. Bang Bros always said they have a 500 MB per day limit, but I never ran into it.
I have wondered about some sites lately like Reality Kings who had a Year End Blowout, $9.95 "trial" deal through freeones in December. As others had shown me with Naughty America, they use the 1st month low price of $9.95 and list it as a trial. I never downloaded enough on NA to find out if these trial low price first month memberships were limited. Which if so, could explain Reality Kings making their limit active again. I am almost positive that the freeones deals reverted back to the regular price after the first month, unlike most of the TBP deals that allow you to keep the discounted price throughout the course of your membership as long as you let it recur. Just a thought since we all know how nearly all porn sites can be these days when it comes to trying to get a large number of new members at one time.
The reason I picked "other" though, my cable internet company sent me a postcard this time last year that said I had gone over the 100 GB per month download/upload bandwith limit. Which I had no idea I had a limit. Once I showed them that I wasn't doing anything illegal with the bandwith like file sharing, they backed off and told me not to worry about the "limit" but did show me where AT&T U-Verse internet has a bandwith limit listed in their terms, Charter internet had one in their terms and Comcast internet had one in their terms.
They do seem to be pulling away from it though. If however the Internet Providers do start limiting how much bandwith we can use and the number varied in those I saw from 100-250 GB a month, it wouldn't make it that unrealistic for sites to start limiting since we could only download theoretically 3-8 GB per day based on those internet provider limits. I hope it doesn't come to that, but I would think if it does, there isn't much other choice available but to accept it.
I went to join Videobox a few days ago, going through the TBP link, I am seeing the $12 price slategrey mentioned, but when I went to pay there was no option to add Vivid and Evil Angel like before. So I tried it going straight to it and reverting to the "old site" there was the option of joining Vivid for $10 and Evil Angel for $10, which I had planned on joining both.
This is where I'm confused. Since I know the Kink channel is only available through the new format VB3, if you join through the old site, I know you can switch to VB3 during membership, but does it still allow you to add the VB3 only channels? Though I still prefer the old site, I think this confusion could be a sign that it's time to either revert back and stay back on the easier to use old site or go ahead and move forward with VB3 only.
Different options from one format to the other is just asking for this type of confusion. The other reason this is confusing is VB has sent me promo offers during active memberships that say, "Add Evil Angel for $15" or "Add Vivid for $15". If I join through the old site, I can add each of those for $10 each, from the beginning of the membership.
It does somewhat. I'm sure Shap, formerly of Twistys, helped his site's case with an open mind to criticism and friendly disposition to even those who were being critical. On the other hand, I've known a few webmasters, won't mention her name, that put their site on a blacklist for me just because of her attitude. I tried and tried to give that site a chance since I did find her attractive and found the niche she did interesting, but couldn't talk myself into joining it. Others, especially the big sites, I don't expect much interaction from them and look over their lack of interest in opinion from their members as long as they keep delivering the content that brought me to the site in the first place.
I had noticed the comments about the ATK sites receiving overhauls and the Santa Claus of porn sent me a promo offer to rejoin so I was a bit, happily, surprised at the new changes. Everything now looks nice and colorful, easy on the eyes too. It doesn't feel like I'm looking at a site that hasn't been changed since 1998. So the initial appearance of the new format gets an A. The models are improving too, in my opinion, I have already found a couple I hadn't seen anywhere before, that have over 2,000 photos each already.
The update schedule is now much clearer and easier to find. By my count they are updating with 7 photo sets per day on Monday-Saturday and 10 videos on Sunday.
That's an impressive update count, 42 photo sets and 10 videos per week.
The newest pictures, tried 3 different sets from 3 different studios, seem to be coming in at a consistent 3000 long end resolution.
The newer videos have an HD option that is 1280x720 and they do run very smoothly. I had been having some problems with HD videos causing odd color blotches during playback.
Very impressed overall so far with this longtime favorite that I've had my share of complaints about over the years. The site is finally catching up to the models. I may even give Galleria a try after several years of being away since this one has impressed me this much with its changes.
I had meant to get back to you on the wording in the terms, but the holiday got in the way. My terms say the same as yours and I think you might have nailed it when you said "A site can certainly impose whatever conditions they want, but those conditions should be clear and applied equally to all members." While I like that RK doesn't seem to ever impose the limit on my account, it looks bad on the ones of us that review a site or post a comment that says no download limit then they impose it on others. Even worse is when they let me download unlimited. Let you download less than 10 GB per day one day then let you download much more the next. I have tried to figure up some kind of rhyme or reason for how their DL limit works, but I can't.
And the type of models is another reason PU works so well, if members read multiple reviews. I was ready to be blown away by Teen Mega World after so many high reviews only to be letdown because nearly all the models were slim. RK, on the other hand, as you're seeing is full of curvy women, which is more my preference.
I definitely would for a month and have several times. Raven Riley's site is a good example. Her site is worth even the $30 price to get all the content she has on it.
I had meant to reply to this earlier since you may collect Lana. I wouldn't have believed it, but I found a very explicit set of Lana at Kink's Fucking Machines, really surprised me seeing Lana on there, but the set was worth more than this whole solo site was. Also found 3 lesbian sets of her on Brazzers which I wouldn't have expected either. For some reason I always had a problem with confusing Lana Lopez and Luna Lane so I first thought those were Luna, but they are Lana including maybe the "cutest" femdom set with Lana dominating Ella Milano. It looks like it hurts Lana just to act "mean". But those three sets are much more than I'm used to seeing her in.
Thanks for this info slutty, it goes to show how much the tour does hurt them. Heading into a slow period at work and have joined 3 sites, but none are Wicked Pictures, even though I had it at the top of my list to try out. I never had paid much attention or joined it until I saw it showing up in the toolbar of the members area on Brazzers. I think sites could at least give a model list with number of sets even without samples, just to let a potential member know who all is on the site and how many scenes. I'll join it eventually, but it probably has been pushed back another 2-3 months at least.
Yeah, I agree about the wiggle room. Someone else had posted that they were told by RK that the limit was between 60-70 big files per day. I have tried hitting it the last two days, but can't. I tried the same thing I had asked you about, downloading the biggest files possible, 48 GB one day, 62 the next. I'm now even wondering about location you download from since I'm not that advanced in technology, I wouldn't know if longer distances cause more stress on servers. Either way, they have always been loose about their rules. To put it in perspective, over 4 memberships this year, I have the entire sites, 8th Street Latinas, We Live Together, In the VIP, CFNM Secret, Mike in Brazil and Mike's Apartment, just add the newest updates when they come out and randomly add from the other sites when it's a model I like. And this too is my lack of technology understanding, but comes from my experience buying hard drives. Amount of gigabytes are rounded or never are the number we see. Seems like member Justme explained it in the forum one time, something about binary numbers, technical gibberish that I don't put forth the effort to fully understand.
Last thing, you may be onto something with the part about downloading from them everyday. I only have 3 days a week that I download and even then I sometimes have more than one site membership, so it could be that my limit, since not downloading sometimes for as many as 6 days in a row, builds up, if it's cumulative. And if I look at my RK folder on my external, it is a total of close to 1 TB this year. Four memberships 10 GB per day x 30 days = 300 GB per membership or 1.2 TB. I'll try a few more times over the next 2 weeks of this membership and see how much it lets me download.
Do you ever have trouble with Media Player Classic Home Cinema requesting updates? I like it as well as I do VLC, mainly because I like the spot zoom feature, but it keeps telling me to update Direct X June 2010 or something like that.
On a past related note, I was messing with VLC the other day and had it open a second window that had full controls while in full screen on the on the other screen. Have no clue had I did it. I remember we talked about that feature before. I haven't tried it lately, in-laws are in for the holidays, but I am thinking I pushed one of the number pad buttons since I was seeing if I could make VLC zoom like Media Player Classic does.
And on the poll, I picked VLC since I use it the most.
I'm curious about something. Are you downloading HD videos? I'm a member right now and wasn't even testing it, just general downloading, and downloaded the entire CFNM Secret site. I separated them by model so I don't have a definite number, but I know it had to be upwards of 100 GB total, but there is one catch, I do not download any of the HD videos. In the old days of the download limit, it was only imposed on the "big" files. Those are now the basic wmv files, 640-720 high end res on those videos. I still just download those. I'm wondering since it did used to be specified as "big" if the HD ones have now become a part of the limit instead of the basic .wmv ones?
Either that or maybe it's because I sign up through their promo emails from being a member off and on since 2007-08. The old block didn't even work that way. Used to you would get a message that said "you have reached your daily limit of "big" files" but you could continue to access, you could even download the parts of videos and pictures. Check that out one day and see if they are imposing it on the basic .wmv full scenes. Maybe it's a perk of signing up through their emails?
I'm not trying to sway you away from the RK channel, but it's very limited compared to the RK site. Using the TBP price, there isn't that much difference in the RK channel and the actual site. I know there has been some talk about RK's download limits, but believe me when I say they are not that bad. I have photos on imageshack of folders I downloaded a few months ago from RK. I did 5 days in a row, averaging 64 GB a day and didn't hit a limit once. I don't know if the limit is now on HD but I don't download their HD clips since they are long anyway, 30-45 minutes. A few years back, RK was pretty strict on DL limits, but they really have loosened up on them.
I have been intrigued by the Kink channel too. Though I don't really go for the harder content, I have always liked Ultimate Surrender, Public Disgrace and Fucking Machines. Plus I like anything with Dragon Lily in it and it seems like she is on several of their sites I haven't been on. Glad you mentioned that about prorating the price. I didn't know they did that. I may have to give the Kink channel a one week try the next time I join VB.
No idea what happened here, but everything has changed. There were new updates, but I don't know if they have moved them to the DDF Network or what. This site itself is rotating old content if you look at the calender. Also noticed Eve's wiki page has been stripped down to hardly no information. The single site join price has dropped a couple dollars to $22.95, but gives you a nice heads up that you can get the site with the DDF Network now. I don't know if that means Eve has retired or what, though her performance quality had really been suffering in the newest sets I have seen of her so I would rather her retire then stick around and be boring.
I think this is a really good add to their network since it was selling by itself for $25 and I personally had joined it multiple times over the last year.
Eve Angel solo sites have forever ruined holiday sets for me. Nearly every year for the last 7 years Eve has had a bunny rabbit costume set for Easter, a foot fetish Halloween set where she rubs her feet into a pumpkin and I think at least 7 in Santa outfits.
I had joined this site after a promo email from Met-Art. The content, while mostly exclusive, isn't exclusive as a whole. I couldn't put a number on the amount of exclusive scenes since I don't collect all these models, but I can give some examples that may explain why the one member review here talks about technical issues with the photo and video quality.
On Eve Angel's content here on The Life Erotic, at least 6 of the 12 sets they have of Eve are from the old Eve Angel site, including a set, Eve drinking milk and pouring it on her body, that dates back to 2004. That photo and video set and the old stairs set (listed as Stairway to Heaven on Eve's old site) from Eve's site were released as exclusive on The Life Erotic. And both were released on The Life Erotic in 2011. Both of these sets are 6-7 years old.
They are posted as HD, where as the original ones were on Eve's site in 640x480 resolution. That could be where the problems with the video is coming from that the previous reviewer noticed.
So, check the model list and the available sets before thinking you're going to get content of a favorite model that you don't have. Overall, the site's not bad at all. They do have some really nice models I haven't seen before, but there was a letdown when I went to get some "new" Eve content only to find out it's up to 7 years old, repackaged as new and exclusive. This would be easier to look over if they didn't have a banner across the top of those sets that says "Exclusive".
