I think Drooler and Roadie answer your question in their reviews of this site.

Mr Fountain's Review
Agreed, good review. I've always been impressed with the quality I've seen on tgp sites but the high price has sort of held me back. Should they offer a discount I'll probably be there but not at $35 a month for a nonhardcore site.

I checked "other" simply because I don't think anything will change. A while back I thought there would be more trial offers and discounts with the downturn but I really haven't noticed any changes. Porn is cheap enough that the bulk of the porn consuming public (they probably don't spend as much on it as us regulars here at PU do) probably won't change their buying habits. I don't see updates changing because as the economy tanks model fees and production costs won't go up and probably go down. About the only change I could see is more nonexclusive content or content recycling increasing but that only covers a small percentage of sites that regularly offer exclusive content.

Mmmm, tough one to answer. There is definitely the fantasy of aspect of porn that does not mirror reality. For example, I am not eternally 21 years old and hung like a horse ... though sometimes I might think I am ... but that's my own neurosis to deal with ;) As such, I don't expect perfection from my other simply because "the wild thing" isn't biggest part of the relationship like in porn so sometimes you compromise on the bod to get the best for you. However, I ain't complaining.

I have to admit, yours is the most original mathematical scoring system on a review that I've seen so far. Thanks for the heads up on this; I sort of figured it didn't have much new to offer.

Hey Ace, sorry I think I forgot to mention the split vids as part of my earlier review on this site. Yeah, it's not really worth much except maybe for those who like pics and are willing to download one by one.

Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
|
| Pros: |
+ Daily updates back to July '06
+ No DRM
+ Good sized pics (most 1600x1065 or larger) and all have zips
+ Many HD vids (1280 wmv) and rest come in up to 512 or 640 wmv
+ Some exclusive content and a good content mix (about 2/3 HC and the rest is lez and solo)
+ Decent $15 month discount through TBP |
| Cons: |
- Navigation and technical issues caused unnecessary pain and suffering
- Lots of nonexclusive photo sets and partial sets
- Quality can vary from OK to very good
- Not DL manager friendly
- Issues with having to keep logging in
- Incomplete model directory
- Large-ish opaque watermark in lower right cornor on all pics and some vids |
| Bottom Line: |
The bottom line here is that this site initially comes across as being in the same general family as 1byday or Pixandvideo but it's really more the red headed step child as it ain't getting, or giving, enough love and is stuck with the second tier material.
When you log in you can view the material by model directory, some general categories or the monthly calendar layout. The model directory is incomplete so it's easiest to view by the calendar. You don't know if a certain day is a pic or vid unless you hold your browser pointer over it (files ending in F = photo, V = vid and A = both although there are very few pics to see in these). There were also a few other technical glitches I came across but nothing too bad.
Click on a day and new window pops up (must turn off pop-up blocker). Then you select the vid size or photo. Sometimes you get another window, sometimes not. This makes it ill sutied to DL managers. Don't open any other windows or make browser changes because you'll be logged out. Don't leave the site unattended for more than 10 minutes or you get logged out. After a few hours you'll get logged out. Each time you have to circle back to where you left off.
Photos. Most of the photos are nonexclusive except for the photos that have matching vid sets (most sets don't have pics and vids, just one or the other). The nonexclusive stuff ranges from the older and more obscure stuff not many have seen to the stuff on every megasite. Some of the nonexclusive stuff gets pixeled at the 1600 level. The exclusive sets can be incomplete in comparison to the vids and are smaller (most come in at around 60 to 80 pics). There are some HD pic sets (3500x2300) but you'll be pressed to find more than 20 per set and they download seperately and copy the the regular resolution pics of the set so it's more of a novelty than an attraction.
Videos. The vids are pretty good except for the first few months were quality is average. Pretty much all the vids come in up to 512 or 640 wmv and the download speeds are OK. The quality on the vids is generally better than the pics and there are more vids than photo sets on this site. There are more HD vids with the newer material (2008).
The updates (daily) vary. Some months you get a bunch of pics, others a bunch of vids. When the photo and vid sets match, the "mate" set can be weeks or months apart.
The actors are all euro models except for some of the nonexclusive stuff. Most of the women are attractive but not many total hotties like the more premium sites. It claims to be brutally HC but there's really nothing too brutal about it but there is some anal and dp action.
Overall, the site isn't bad considering the price and the amount of content. If you can get over the technical issues it's not bad but the quality does vary, especially on pics. I wanted to give a higher score when I first joined but for now an 83 seems appropriate in my book. |

Sorry to hear about the lack of new content and mediocre quality and download speeds. For anyone reading this, if you're interested in the Evil Angel site(s) you'd probably better go now since they're being sued for obscenity and they might not be around beyond the Spring of 09.

Man, I submit a poll and after it appears I see that I made a typo. The second answer should have been 10,000 or less, not 100,000. Me, I'm not up to Drooler's level because I edit down my photosets but I probably got about 150k.

Isn't that kind of the point of porn? Isn't this poll just asking us to confirm that we're all a bunch of pervs ;-|)

Great review. I'd seen the site before but never checked it out. I also appreciate the MST 3000 quip; probably my favorite show from the 90's although it faded a bit the last season or two ... never has so much pain been so hilarious.

I had one site years ago where I forgot to cancel and it took a few months to track it down and get rid of it (didn't save the email either, stupid). The worst is the prechecked boxes. I've been burned on that twice. Most recently I got stung by that but managed to get the charges cancelled through my credit card (the site never contested the refusal thankfully). I think the prechecked boxes are the biggest scam for porn newbies.

I only keep about 100. More than that and I'd probably never get around to looking at them since I'm more of a pic guy. Occasionally dump some of them but have about 50 ones that are definite keepers. I couldn't see having thousands since I know I'd never watch them all and would find it too difficult to search for what I'd want to see.
Just curious if anyone has built their own, or knows of a commercial product, that lets you easily sort and search vids by just typing in some key phrases. This idea just sort of popped into my head here.

As long as you're not flaming someone then you should put your name to it. If you're gonna flame someone you shouldn't be here. If you can't handle the possibility of a bad rating in this anonymous cornor of cyberspace I'd hate to see how you react to bad news in the normal world.

Jeffrey99's Review
Thanks for the very good review. I thought about joining here but was a pit put off by the fact that it looked like most of the photosets topped off at around 20 pics. Is this the case or do they have more pics than that per set?

Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.

| Pros: |
+ Good $10, 5 day full access trial through TBP
+ No DRM
+ Daily Updates (1 scene or set per day)
+ Pics go up 2300x3500 with multiple sizes and multiple zip formats
+ Full preview allowed before joining
+ HD movies (HD in quality but not size)
+ Good search function, easy navigation |
| Cons: |
- Nonoriginal content
- No more bonus sites
- Some pic sets get grainy in largest sizes |
| Bottom Line: |
This is a site that has loads of potential but can't quite get there in terms of the final score.
This is probably more of a pic site than a movie site which is fine by me. There are about 375 picture sets which have 140 to 200 pics ranging from 1000 to 3500 pix (you can zip in three different sizes). The size is great but some sets get grainy. About 20% are hardcore, 15% lesbian and the rest are solo. Pics also have a slideshow function.
The vids, about 80, have a few percent more hc scenes than the photos. They come in at 640x480 with a 4200 stream rate (my download speeds were generally good). The quality is very good. You can download clips or full scenes (full scenes come it around 500mb sizes) and they run about 20 to 30 minutes.
They offer daily updates, good search and a calendar look showing the updates of the day for each month if you like. Navigation is easy. They also offer a great preview where you can look at the vids available and every thumbnail in every photoset.
With so much great stuff why not a great score? The answer is the nonexclusive content. They rely heavily on Viv Thomas material so if you've been a member there you've seen a lot of this. I recognized almost all the hc sets from Viv and other sites like Twistys and Karupspc and Sexybabes. Most of the softcore looked familiar as well. Some of the pics didn't stand up to being enlarged so big and some colors got a bit fatigued as well in the process.
Given that this is a Newsensations spinoff I think the score could have been helped by tossing in a couple of NS sites as bonuses. The bonus sites mentioned by earlier reviews now seem to be gone.
If this site had some original content and/or some decent bonus material I'd be pushing the score to near 90 but the nonexclusive nature hurts in this case.
If you haven't been to Vivthomas or some of the more mainstream porn sites recently then I think this is good site to visit. For those who have I think it's a question if you want the bigger pics (Vivthomas doesn't put his pic resolution as high as they do here) or to update your collection. I don't see any reason to stay for longer than the trial given the lack of exclusive material unless you don't really have any of this material. |
