Good review, I think you sum up the experience well. We both see the same thing, but our marks are different. You have to enjoy those really thin models or there is very little to enjoy. If you do, the newtork is a paradise.
Thanks slutty, I don't think they're all screen caps but I think most are. It's a big surprise because given the excellent HD quality of the vids you would think they would pay more attention to the pics.
Thanks Stas. My main concern was not to put people off the network because those who love slim young models will love the site. I'm a mean miserable bastard, and though my mark was lowish compared to some other members it wasn't that low compared to others I have done. It's just personal taste, and for some this is a must see, at least once.
Thanks Ik, looks like we agree. Much as I dislike the TeenCoreClub network, and the contempt they have for customers, they do a better job of showing off the models.
Whatever happened to puppy fat? When I was a kid, teen girls had puppy fat.
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
No DRM, no download restrictions, and no pre ticked cross selling dirty tricks.
Established company using Epoch as agent.
No regional discrimination.
A number of sites with a wealth of material and many pretty girls.
Not many tats and fake breasts.
$10 discount through TBP/PU.
Good quality high spec videos with the newer updating sites.
Updates are dated.
Model index.
Reasonable easy sign in. Once you have signed in you can go to any site on the network without going through the process again.
Pics are zipped.
Videos can be downloaded complete or in shorter segments.
The HD quality of the newer videos along with the unglamorous way they are shot, gives a real sense of two people having sex.
Cons:
Awful, truly dreadful, uninspiring home pages, which all look the same. making it very hard to choose clips.
Surprisingly poor selection of pictures. Some look like video caps. Those that aren't video caps, or aren't badly lit, I find to be unerotic. Personally I think they do not make the most of the model.
Too many skinny girls. Teen does not have to mean anorexic.
Navigation is difficult because everything looks the same.
Some sites don't update at all, and the quality is quite poor on these. Private Teen Video and Home Teen Vids for example. Here you get too many close ups, or angles from a distance where you cannot see anything, and terrible dark lighting.
Too many condoms - mainly on the older sites.
The lighting and camerawork is better on the updating sites but the samey uninspired photography and camerawork makes everything, especially the models, look the same.
Little in the way of stripping, showing off the model's body, or build up of plot.
Bottom Line:
It is just a personal thing, but I found this to be the most disappointing network I have visited. The girls are mostly of two types - white blonde and skinny, or white brunette and skinny, with little ethnic diversity. They all look very much alike. The way the videos and pics are shot exacerbates this impression. For some members, the thin girls will be an absolute plus, so I admit this is all about personal taste. I wish I had seen the Exotics4me review before I joined. It is very accurate imo. Add 10 points to the score if you like thin young models but subtract 15 if you don't.
Overall I found the network to be disappointing for photos, They often look like screen caps, and even those that don't do not, imo, capture the full beauty of the model. The one notable exception to this is the sadly defunct Nubiles HD where they have very good high definition photos. I found dimensions of 2048x1360 and 3168x4752 here, were mainly well lit, and made the models look good.
Some sites mostly do high. medium. and low quality videos in wmv, but the specs vary from site to site. High is generally 1280x720, medium is 860x480 and low is 480x270. However sometimes high quality is only 720x576. Some sites do high quality in wmv, medium in FLV and low in MP4 for portable devices, Fuck Studies in addition offers Ipod/Iphone Format and Mobile Format. Photo specs vary. 960x1440, 1024x768, 1280x853, 2048x1360, up to 3168x4752 on Nubiles HD, but once again the quality on the older defunct sites is not so good with specs down to 720x576.
You can download short two minute clips or whole videos. Streaming is available which I found to be good quality and customer friendly.
I think they try to give an impression of individual sites with different content on sites like Tricky Masseur and Beauty Angels, but for me, it is all very much of a muchness. Certainly the newer sites have much better video and picture quality, as well as content. The defunct ones are poor quality by today's standards. Poor in terms of both video and picture spec, poor lighting and poor camera angles. They are also a turn off for me, as they use condoms a lot.
I have tried to be as objective as possible. Obviously this network was not to my taste. I found the samey homogeneous nature of the videos and pics to be uninspiring and seemingly produced by a company that is using a painting by numbers approach. Despite this, if you are into slim young girls TMW will certainly be of interest, and I recommend you check it out. Despite the relative shortage of quality pictures, the video quality on the updating sites makes this a must see for those into a certain type of model, because there is plenty to see and download.
I am one of the few dissenters here. I joined them once and never went back. No customer service, the worst download speeds I have ever encountered (down to 1kb/sec on occasions!), regional discrimination, worst of all was the way the videos had the wrong dimensions so the bodies looked distorted. I have to admit I'm virtually on my own with my contempt for videobox.
Varies by case. I decide only after a number of reviews and after I get to see what the site has available. So any views both positive or negative help to complete the whole picture.
This one could be good. I have a feeling there aren't many previews because there aren't many videos. They look to have a good Exploited College Girls type of site as one of the three or four available. I received a spyware/virus warning on this site concerning dangers about giving your details. I'm not brave enough to subscribe to a potential trouble site.
This is true. I put that in my review. The other two sites that come in the package - Picking Up Pussy and TNA Tryouts do have the higher definition downloads, but not 18Eighteen. Don't know why.
Excellent review, and not just because I agree with it. I joined the network myself recently, and do not particualrly like the idea that young should mean emaciated or painfully slim. If I get around to doing a review myself, the score will be in the early eighties not nineties. The picture quality and camerawork on some of the sites is awful. Some of the scenes are much too dark, and yes, the models do all look alike. Okay, they are either blond and skinny or brunette and skinny. Like you, I think Beauty Angels is one of the best sites in the network. But overall I wasn't grabbed by the network, which may mean personal taste as much as anything. Overall I found it a disappointment.
Hi John, RealSpankings has moderate to hard spankings and is quite good, but Lupus/RGE is stronger, and generally well directed. Her First Punishment/Rusian Slaves/Nettles/Russian Discipline is all one and the same thing. They are the same production company with different names. They are harder than RealS but maybe not quite as hard as Lupus, but have truly awful direction and editing, and a really annoying top. By far the hardest is Mood Productions, who aren't even linked to from PU/TBP because of legal reasons. Dallas Spanks Hard deserves a mention too. He has a very good reputation for customer service, as do RealS, but I wont subscribe anymore because of download limits. He is similar in strength to RealS. Hope this is of some help.
Thanks Exotics. Tremendous review, by the way, and everything well explained. I have been close to joining in the past, but I was a little worried there would be too many gynaecological close ups. It now goes back top of the list.
99 per cent. FFS that's high! I thought you preferred softcore to hardcore too. Gotta respect your opinion cos you are one of the most highly respected members here. Have never been a member of this network, but now I'm tempted.
LOL - I hope Wittyguy remembers this one for his yearly awards.
In answer to the question I quite like DP occasionally, but the drawback is it's very hard to see the girl, as she's buried between two guys. So so it's okay on occasions.
Another good review. I would put this site near to the front of a list of sites ot join simply becasue of the no hitting, spitting or slapping policy.
I wouldn't give any site a 50 becasue of a slow download speed, but at least this gives another view. I don't know why some sites are slower for some people than others. I do know my least favourite site (a well known video site) that a lot of people on here love, gave me consistently the worst DL speeds I have ever experienced. Given the comments it appeared to be worse for Europe. Hugow is from America so that can't be a reason for the slow downloads for this site. He gave it 90 when the speeds were okay. Down to 50 is a big drop.
The content sounds good, so I'll have to check this one out.
Thanks to PU and TBP, I think this sort of thing happens less than it used to, nevertheless it still does happen. It makes people afraid to give their credit card details, so download for free instead. There are a lot of reputable sites out there, but you still sometimes see that old rip off, fleece em once, cheap gangster mentality.
It was another good review Frosty. One of those cases where the review is better than the network. I'm never subscribing to any site that only scores 30.
Forget it. It would be one of my least favourite jobs. Same as being a musician. It's okay being a fan, but I wouldn't want to be part of the industry.
