I'm not sure how this is uncharted waters for ALS Scan - they had that BTS scene with Tanner doing her boy/girl shoot for Club Sandy that included all manner of penetration.
This is the first shoot that they have done where they booked the male talent, I guess.
This may partly be their response to the market and it may be them wanting to go with the flow with their models.
One of the most memorable parts of this last year's Caribbean beach shoot for me was Tanner crawling up to Jeremy while he was doing vid, asking him "You want to play never-never land?" He said, "What's that?" and Tanner said "Well, you've never been in my mouth before" and went for his cock. Jeremy cut away with the camera but I wish he hadn't. They're booking pretty naughty girls who like playing with cock and are good at it and perhaps they're feeling like they ought to bring 'em on and see how it goes.
I dunno. It doesn't upset me if they get hot material. I have to say that others who have ventured into hard-core don't do so well.
Nubiles.net's boy/girl scenes aren't good. Sarah Peachez' blow-job scenes aren't exciting, neither are Jana Cova's. Phil-Flash's ventures into boy/girl aren't as good as his solo-girl & girl/girl stuff at all. But none of them have gone to only-boy/girl, so I feel like they ought to do what they want to do because the lack of restrictions probably makes them happier about doing their sites.
I feel the same way about ALS Scan - maybe their boy/girl stuff will be mediocre, but if it keeps them feeling excited and refreshed about doing the site, then their other material will be better for it.
It's true, it's true - I'm not currently a member, but I'm sure I'll be back - absence does make the heart grow fonder, after all - and Twisty's vids have gotten better and better. If the photo-shopping were decreased, I'd probably not even be taking this break, but that's life, and it's not a bad thing to take a break anyway.
OK, I need to edit my response, because when I tried further navigation in the Babes.tv archive, it crapped out 3/4 of the time - so I would say that that Babes.tv archives are there - but the navigation sucks and you might have to try multiple times to actually look at what you want to look at.
I asked about the money-back guarantee - received a response, but their headquarters in Canada had to receive the request within 30 days of your initial join, blah, blah, blah - considering that their parent company is being sued right and left, I doubt that they are honoring any refund requests.
Yes, if you go into Babes.tv and click on "Archives", you'll have to enter your log-in info yet again - and then you're in the archives - I believe it's complete - no reason to believe otherwise at this point.
I had left this site and the whole network a couple of months ago, received an offer to rejoin at $9.95/month and get access to all of their sites for that one price:

Since I had never been a member of BeTheMask.com and their other separate sites, I thought it could be worth it.
IE caused a colossal bummer - I logged in with my new member info - instantly received a "Your Account Is Blocked" message - I hate that! Nick couldn't fix the problem today - this evening I got a prod to download the updated version of Firefox - did so - tried logging into their site using my new log-in info in Firefox - no problem - IE - You suck! Firefox - it works - working is good.
The news is that Babelicious is now THE single site being updated. They promise new exclusive material coming up and that's really needed. While they are now posting photosets with 3 sizes - with the largest 4000 X 2567 - it's really un-distinctive material photoshopped by somebody that was wearing a blindfold, apparently. The newest Anita Pearl vid posted the other day looks like it was licensed from InFocusGirls - looks like the location they use to me.
So they have one site to focus on now, and I wish them well and hope they have some exciting exclusive material - shit, they were able to do very cool material with Babes.tv not that long ago, so here's hoping!
Sites seem to vary about the labeling of re-mastered material. ALS Scan has heavily promoted some re-mastered releases - put them out as bonuses. I thought they looked like crap, personally. Perhaps enough people did that they decided to just remaster some stuff that wouldn't look like crap - the stuff I mentioned above looks good - and don't make a big deal about it.
FTV Girls has promoted some re-releases, I've noticed.
1-by-Day used to do clear labelling, then they stopped - probably for the marketing reason.
I suspect that for the majority of the porn-loving public, new is considered better than "back in the day" or other re-packaging of older material.
No - you can download zip files of the photo-sets, but I haven't seen anything mentioned on the site about these CD's. I would bet that they still have all of the photo-sets up at the site if they did previously. So you can get them again in zips.
On 3/02, they released a Brea BTS vid - don't know if it's a re-release but it's not newly shot
On 2/28/10, they released an Angelica Crow photo set - I believe most of her stuff had been released on ALS Angels - so these were probably unreleased extra pics, though not newly shot material
On 2/26/10, they released a Shelby & Amy Lee vid - again either a re-remaster or not, it's not newly shot
On 2/24/10, they released a vid from their St Johns trip - probably a remaster
On 2/16/10, they released an Angie vid that was probably a remaster
2/12/10, the St Martin vid is probably a remaster
2/08/10 - the Kylie vid is probably a re-master
2/02/10 - the Tori vid is probably a remaster
So that's an idea of the frequency
So from 2/02 to 3/02 there were 8 posts that were re-releases/re-masters or otherwise not newly shot and 28 posts that were newly shot/released material - one of which was a bonus with almost 2 hours of vid.
With ALS Scan, they release material based on popularity as well as the owner's tastes - so they do have some material that I would classify in the new category, such as the 2007 Caribbean trip HD vid because it was a new release - but that's 1 out of 28
It doesn't really matter to me. There have been porn performers that started out with an "I'll do anything" attitude and didn't enjoy where that got them, so they dialed it back to what they were comfortable with. Stephanie Swift decided to do a contract run early in her career with a company that would have her doing all kind of crazy stuff, then became a contract girl with Wicked, partly because she had grown her fan base by doing such awesome wild performances.
I leave it up to the performers. I don't agree with the "quit holding out on us" attitude by a lot of male porn fans toward adult performers that only do girl/girl or only do partial nudity or don't do anal.
The real question is - "Are they doing hot stuff?" There's a lot of lame porn out there and I believe that hotter porn is made by performers that are comfortable doing what they are doing - if that's non-nude and it's blistering hot - I'm happy with that. If it's only solo or girl/girl and it's blistering hot, I'm happy with that.
Performers should do what they are comfortable with and give their all when doing it - or they should do something else.
Karla's site has gone to a new pic set every 2 weeks, rather than every week, which was the norm for a while. The rumor is that she stopped working with the site at the end of 2009, so they now have to stretch remaining new content for as long as they have it.
Since the webmasters haven't responded to the thread in a forum that they have previously participated in and responded to, I think the rumor is most likely true.
A warning to members and prospective members - the updates have been cut in half and may have a complete end before too long.
It's the problem with solo-girl sites - if the model decides she's done with it, then that's it.
Megan Summers, who used to have a site with Phil Flash, was supposed to have her new site go live this past Monday. She told her new webmaster over the weekend that she was done with modelling and didn't want the site to go up or any of the new material to go out publicly. He was classy about it and just agreed to her wishes, but I bet he had sunk a fair amount of time and money into getting the site ready for the launch.
Yeah - NA is unique for the sheer goofy fun that they have - it's not about stunts for them, it's about "this will be a cool thing to do - we'll have fun", whether it's bacon lollipops or sharing dog biscuits with porn stars or buying a hula chair for everyone to ride.
That kind of relaxed atmosphere really helps the Live Shows, because you see some absolutely blisteringly hot show because of it - Cassidey was amazing when she was there, Madison Ivy was incredible, Kacey Jordan was wonderful the other day, etc
She was hilarious today! That bit with the hula chair - so fucking funny! Seemed to have completely cured her too - before the "chair", she still looked a little under the weather - after the chair, she was totally scumptious!
In the "Why I absolutely LOOOOVE Lauren at NA" category - I've got quite a crush on her - check out the archives of her interview with Sunny Leone (if you can bear to look at Sunny's fake boobs) from 12/02/09 where Lauren goes on a huge fashion rant about how great Sunny's clothes are and how anybody that doesn't like the outfit is a stupid fucking ug-boot lover - ha ha - hilarious - just beautiful!
Agreed - this site is doing themselves a dis-service by this kind of false advertising.
If some material is "coming soon", advertise it as "coming soon" - as a prospective member, I would likely find that enticing.
Advertising material as currently posted is not a good thing - it's a bummer to join a site expecting to be able to download the material and find it to be not there.
And it's not necessary. This site has a ton of material - a ton of really good material - they would be wise to take a kick in the pants from this thread and be as honest as possible about what material is currently available and what material is "coming soon" if they even want to mention what is coming soon - to me, as I say, I would find it more enticing than a turn-off.
Lauren says what Lauren thinks. To expect Lauren to say what you want her to say, well that's not very fair. If you want to do Live With Messner, you should say what you think about fake boobs.
Lauren's also interviewing porn babes and I think she wants to pump them up - when she's not showing off how much smarter she is than they are - lol - she likes to kind of torture them a bit that way.
Does NA promote the whole big-boobed thing? Yeah, they do. Could they go against the grain and say "We're sick of fake boobs and we're not having porn babes with fake boobs on our site?" I suppose, but I doubt that they would be as commercially successful a site.
I've heard Lauren express pro-natural-boob sentiments when she's reviewing scenes, but she's probably as conflicted as I am - I like natural boobs - but confronted with a babe who looks smoking hot with enhanced ones, I'm gonna tell her that she looks fantastic and I'll definitely want my hands and mouth on them. I love Lauren's delight when she gets to get her hands on nice boobs - like a little girl that just got a ride on a pony.
Whether or not there are NA staff here, there are people in this forum that are VERY active NA members - at many/most of the live shows, active in the forum, etc. I've had people make comments to me - helpful ones - in NA live shows based on comments that I have made in this forum.
So it may be a case of a comment "dropping off" that forum and reappearing, or it may be a case of a helpful NA/PU member e-mailing an NA mod and saying, "you know, it might be a cooler thing to do to just let that comment stay".
I dunno, but it's a possibility.
NA's a site that deserves the positivity, in my opinion. They are trying to have a very good site, they are very good to their members in many ways, such as hiring active members' faves to do live shows on their birthday.
But sites that are cool sites are going to stumble too - just like people who are cool are likely to fuck up once in a while. That's just human beings, you know?
Cluttered and confusing it is - but photosets are easy:
When you first log onto the site, you'll see the "Set of the Day" in the upper left hand of the home page and "previous sets of the day" just to the right of that. Then if you click up at the top of the home page on "Pics", you'll see 221 pages of "Sets Of The Day" and you can click on other tabs - "Member Review", "Staff Picks", "Remixes", "Misc"
There are a lot of photosets, many of them are very cool.
Now vids - that I can't help you with. I've never found any sexy vids on this site.
I wouldn't be surprised if some day they do a re-design of the whole site behind the scenes and spring it on us - I could imagine fantasy navigation where you put your cursor over a pic of a model and get a few second of vid of one of her hottest scenes.
Maybe if they feel that they've done all the upgrading needed for a while in their content and equipment, they'll turn their eyes to the design.
Re-designs, though, can be one of those "be careful what you wish for" propositions - Babes.tv, for instance had an older-looking site, did a re-design and had a less distinctive looking site at the same time that their content fell off a cliff - so it wasn't exactly a cause for joy.
In the main, my view towards the overall design of a site is "if it ain't broke, don't worry about it." The key thing that ALS Scan needed to do was to get their navigation in hand - and they've done that in the main, since you can now see all of the solo content of a model by clicking on her pic - and get pointed to the group and bonus shoots that she was involved in.
I wish they would lay off the freaking photoshopping, which you correctly list as a major con - I keep being drawn back to this site - but the photoshopping makes their posted sets boring - so my former excitement about this site is no more. Nice vids, but without photosets that are also enjoyable it's a site that's killed 50% of its updates, far as I'm concerned.
If you like Lexi, I would recommend Naughty America - she does frequent live shows there, many of which are archived to be watched anytime, and she's a whole lotta fun. They have 9 scenes with her too.
There was a lot of potential with this network and for a while there was a lot of good stuff being posted, but not lately and I can't recommend it, since I didn't find it worth extending my own membership.
Actually, since my membership to PremiumPass expired recently, I'm in a position to know that you could download the contents of this site in a day or two - there's not a lot there.
PremiumPass has added the number of sites in the network, but the update schedule on each site is not impressive, web-cam shows are every 2 weeks or less by individual performers, and the CamZ network has gotten more glitchy as time has gone on - so some cam shows never happen or are full of freezes and crashes.
Overall, this network became more frustrating than it was enjoyable.
Anyway, if you like clothed tease that leads to stripping and nudity and toy-play, you'll be happy with this site.
If you're offended by or dislike the stripping and nudity and toy-play, you won't be as happy - and then there are the hard-core sets.
For my tastes, it's a great mix because I definitely like the clothed tease, which gets left off a lot of sites' work, and when you have girls this cute, it would be a shame not to see them all nekkid and working their hot pussies.
