Pros:
This is a HUGE site. There are remastered scenes here, but there are 246 pages of scenes with 30 scenes per page - so over 7000 PLUS Bonus scenes from other Grooby sites - just a mammoth collection that includes virtually every important trans performer of the past couple of decades plus a whole lot of performers that would be exclusive to this site. Updates are consistent -5 new scenes per week with downloads on new scenes available up to 2160p. It's a Grooby site. Grooby sites are all very professionally run. Joining, cancelling, communicating with the company if you need to, should not be a problem. If you want to plumb the archives, those scenes will work as well, though of course they will be at lesser resolution. Each new scene also comes with a photo set so photo fans are taken care of.
Cons:
This is purely a personal preference. I'm not the biggest fan of a lot of their models. A lot of their models are not attractive to me. Saying that, I'll go back to the Pros & say that a site with 7000 PLUS scenes that has a lot of performers I'm not attracted to is also going to have quite a number of scenes with models that I am attracted to - and since there are so many models exclusive to this site, you can spend lots of time roaming the site to find those attractive models - yeah, this is as "con" as I can get about this site - oh, and it's not a cheap site. I joined with their Black Friday special.
Bottom Line:
Bottom line is that if you are interested in trans porn, this site is ABSOLUTELY worth a join - immense collection, regularly updated, Bonus sets, included, well run site by a reputable company - I should mention one of my favorite tools for finding models I would very likely otherwise miss - one of the options under "Scenes" is "Random Scenes" - click on that and the site will generate a number of scenes. It's very rare that 1 of those scenes won't be appealing to me and often it's a model I never heard of before and often it's a model who has multiple scenes here. They have other tools & tabs that can help you find scenes you may particularly like such as a "hardcore scenes" button if you're looking for those "Scenes You Might Have Missed", "Top Rated" & "Trending Scenes" tabs for helping you find material that you'll enjoy. I gave it an 80 based on my tastes in their models but clearly there a lot of good things to say about this site.
I decided to check out this site again, not having been on in a while. Beware, because apparently the long-time videographer left and the current videographer doesn't know how to work a camera - I have yet to find a recent video that isn't blurred and washed-out looking garbage. The girls might be great looking, I can't tell because the current stuff is so badly shot. I had a complaint previously about recycled material but now recycled material is what you should wish for until they get someone that knows how to operate a video camera.
Crazy the damage that they did to themselves years ago when they broke the network up into separate pieces. They spent years building a Naughty America community, had a very active forum, used to do multiple live shows a day including a morning show that was really just promos for upcoming scenes at the site but was always very well attended - then they just killed the whole thing. People who had continuing memberships for years had those memberships ended at the end of their term and join one of the confusing new networks. All so they could reverse course and have 1 network with some bonus content you could access for an extra fee if you wanted to. Christian XXX, who worked there as a producer/director/agent/performer, etc for years threatened to tell the whole store to Holly Randall years ago, but he wound up deciding he would only tell it off screen. I don't know how good their new content is, but coincidentally I just joined for the first time in years today, mainly to check out my faves from the past.
Can't say that I'm surprised about the lack of communication. The last few times I've glanced at VideoBox, it seemed to be just a dumping ground for the most bargain basement porn possible, not a site that was putting into any effort into anything. Too bad as there was a time when they had a blog on the site where they told customers what studios they were making deals with, asked for input on what customers wanted to see, etc.
Excellent site. If you enjoyed this site, I HIGHLY recommend Frank's T-Girl World, which is also a Grooby site. I find Frank's choice of models to be the absolute best in the world of ladyboy porn
Agreed - great site, especially when you consider the incredibly deep archives. I was a bit disappointed in the current new videos until they started adding Angelo Godshak's stuff. His stuff, Rocco's new stuff and Joey Silvera's occasional new TS scenes are my favorites.
You actually don't need to do a separate login to get to Nubiles.net. If you just scroll down on the home page, it lists all the sites that are part of NubilesPorn. You'll see Nubiles.net 2nd down on the right - click on it and you're in. At least that's the way it used to be - lol. I just tried it, it made me log in again.
You could just take away their "comment" privileges. Reddit does that. Hell, it happened to me on a Reddit group for reasons I'm entirely unclear on since I don't post nasty crap. But there is a group I'm in where I can peruse the group all I want, I'm just not able to comment on anything. Such is life. If Reddit groups can do that, adult sites could certainly do it.
You could solve that problem with moderation of the site and still allow comments. If someone is leaving a toxic comment, take it down. If not, leave it up. Back in the days when Adult Time allowed comments and not just this "Report" crap, 80% or more of the comments I saw were positive. With AI, you could probably even program in "alert" words so that you knew where the comments were that might be worthy of a review.

The discouragement of comments on adult websites continues. Many adult sites that used to have full-fledged forums, such as Twistys, Brazzers, Naughty America, Nubiles, etc, did away with them long ago. Now we even see sites that used to have a space for customers to put comments eliminating those, such as AdultTime, who now only has a place for customers to "Report" videos - perhaps this is so, if someone runs a Youtube hit-piece on a creator that AdultTime is "platforming", people can let them know - "hey, did you see that people are claiming that so-and-so did nasty stuff 10 years ago" and they can take down their material before the credit card companies start asking questions. It's an unfortunate trend.
This is a site I join periodically because a lot of their stuff is really damned good, excellent quality videos and photos. I was stumbling all over since I joined this time trying to figure out how to download zips of the photos and bts shots, which I'm sure I've been able to do in the past. I figured I was missing something and was feeling embarrassed when I sent a message to their C/S - to my shock, this is the response I received: "The photo download link is no longer available on the site. You may now grab the image(s) of your choice then drag and drop them on to your desktop."
Thanks for the review - Karups and the ATK sites used to be favorites around here years ago, but I can't remember the last time I saw someone review 1.
If you haven't tried Grooby Archives yet, I would recommend it - it's an archive site, naturally, from across a range of Grooby sites. They add new updates once a week, but if you're into deep diving, they have the current site, plus they have the 2 previous versions of the site all still available to explore. I can't guarantee that there are no sets that fail to download, but Grooby is pretty good at keeping things running.

Pros:
Consistent updates - 18 a week - updated weekly
Years of archives, all easily accessible, all work
Good navigation by model name, alphabetical order, top rated list, etc
Grooby quality - in almost all their sites, they run a tight ship - everything's going to work well, including the deep archives
Variety of models - the models come from a variety of their sites - Brazilian Transexuals, Grooby Girls, LadyboyLadyboy, Black T-Girls, Shemale Yum - usually, there are 3 Brazilian sets, 1 of which is t-girl/t-girl, 3-5 ladyboy sets, 5 Black model sets, 5 white model sets per week.
I like their suggestions - if you find a model or set you like, the site if very good at suggesting other sets for you that you will also like.
Cons:
The presentation is very plain, for the most part - the model(s) will be in a hotel room posing, usually starting out clothed, then stripping and playing with herself, showing you her ass, etc, then cumming. There aren't much in the way of production values, there's not a tremendous variety of types of locations, rarely any story or scenario, a lot of models are completely quiet through most of the scene.
Bottom Line:
The # of updates and depth of the archives is the selling point of this site, to me. Even if you were only interested in ladyboy models, 5 scenes per week is a good update rate for most sites and you get 13 other scenes as well. Personally, it's the Brazilians and Asian models for me, for the most part, but with the depth of the archives, you will have early scenes of most of who have become popular trans star performers here, because no company has produced a fraction of the trans content that Grooby has. To be honest, the only Grooby site that I've every had regrets about joining was their Japanese site because the last time I joined, I found it to be all retreads. Other than that, Grooby is producing tons of trans porn material - most of which is, as I described above, very basic - model in a hotel room playing with herself. The question is whether you find the models attractive or not. The site makes it very easy to browse before joining so you wouldn't be buying a pig in a poke.
Great site - my biggest complaint is the navigation - Try to search by a model name or to search by letter, you can go make a cup of coffee before the information comes up and then it's completely random - Renee Rose followed by Rachel Rivers followed by Rosalyn Sphinx etc if you're using what presents itself as their alphabetical search. They do have the "Models" search, which may be better. Updates are weekly these days, which is nice.
Great site - the best currently updating site I'm aware of for Asian ts models. Grooby is doing less & less promos, haven't announced their annual Customer Appreciation Week, which used to be a great opportunity to get deals. We'll see if it even happens this year.
I suspect its a money issue - it's just a lot less expensive to pay 1 performer rather than 2. Go back even to page 5 of their updates and 20 out of 24 updates were boy/girl - that's substantial savings to eliminate the paycheck on 1/2 the performers in the vast majority of your scenes.
One might think that with the availability for trans models to work on more sites than in the past that Grooby might have more trouble finding attractive models. Doesn't seem to be the case. I'm not a current member of this site, but the roster of models in their newest scenes is as hot a group of trans models of various nationalities as I've ever seen. I would say the same of their Asian T-Girl site (an all-Asian site, as one would expect), Frank's TGirl World (also a Grooby site - pretty much all Asian or Brazilian) as well.
It's a pretty confusing site, but their C/S has always been responsive and honest in my experience. If you ask them what you get for ...., they'll give you the honest answer, might even offer you a deal.
Like many sites, there was a whole different level of engagement with fans on VB in 2010. They had a blog updated multiple times a week where they would discuss which studios they were making new licensing deals, they would solicit feedback from members, they would promote "coming soon" DVDs, etc. Now they have very little to brag about so no blog, no talk of new deals, no coming soon, just plop, here are today's updates.
For porn fans that don't mind a streaming-only option, I just discovered quite an enticing site. Adult Empire, the biggest U.S. DVD site also has a streaming-only subscription, AdultEmpireUnlimited. It advertises streaming-only access to 165,000 movies, 700,000 clips for $24.99/month or $49.98 for 3 months or $149.94 ($12.95/month billed annually) for 1 year. Certainly beats the hell out of Videobox and their rotated selection of bargain basement updates.
Lots of Gay and bi men content these days as well. Perhaps you have your filters set so you don't see that content. In the past week, they posted a scene from Chaos Men on 7/12, a bi scene from Let's Go Bi on 7/11, a bi scene from BiFuck on 7/10, a gay male scene from Blake Mason on 7/10, a scene from Pride Fuck on 7/09 and a scene from Jerk Buddies on 7/07
TBP's listed prices for this site are out of date. Current prices:
$39.99 - 1 month
$79.99 - 3 months
$150.00 - 6 months
$250.00- 1 year
Grooby sites know that they're delivering unique content and they aren't afraid to charge for it. They also very seldomly discount and when they do, in their annual sale, which is any time from August to October, almost all the offers are to existing customers only.
They are posting new material 5 days a week on the combined site. I haven't been a member for a while, but if I recall correctly, you also have the archives from the individual sites. For my tastes, the best ladyboy material in the Grooby universe of sites, and maybe anywhere, is on Frank's TGirl World. Not 100% of his models are Asian, but probably 90% and he's got really good taste.
