Actually, Monahan, those phone sex things are still going - were really popular & lucrative for a period of time in the mid-80's or so. A friend of mine in LA wrote scripts for them for a while.
That's LA for you.

I 3rd Monahan's term, since Twisty's often paints their pics to an infuriating degree for my tastes.
At the same time, when I see sites post pics of completely untreated pics, I'm not very turned on, since harsh lighting can make the girls look like they're ready for a police line-up or something.
I remember Alex at ALS Scan wanted to demonstrate the amount of treatment that they do and he used a pic of petite Latina Kat as an example. Due to being freshly-shaved for the shoot, her pussy had horrible razor-burn and other "issues" that were not in the least attractive and they had taken care of that with the treatment of the pic - they hadn't done much more than that and I think that they're one of the best sites because of that.
I think I've talked about this before, actually, but I also like the very minimal photo-treatment of solo-girl site photographers like Phil-Flash and Spunky, who is most well know for his work with Kate's Playground. They mainly deal with what they want to deal with in their lighting with very little photo treatment as compared to other adult photographers, and their pics have a lot of erotic power as a result.
Some solo-girl sites use cheap auto-treat software that gives all of their pics a lacquered look and takes all the eroticicm away.
Holly Randall frustrates the fuck out of me with her heavy painting of her pics - be a painter or be a photographer, I scream at my monitor. Make up your mind!
Nubiles.net is another site that gets it right for my tastes. They're certainly posting treated pics, but they're not painting them heavily and they're not lacquering them in an art-less way.
As a fan of hot erotic pics, this is a topic that I could go on about for a long while.
I want to see the models, I want to see what they look like, I want to see why the photographer thought they were hot in the first place. I don't care how skilled their photo-shop guy is - he should go photo-shop pics of dolphins and wheat fields and leave the adult photography biz to people that want to see hot women looking like hot women.

I'm a cheap sob generally, so few sites that don't give me the opportunity to get a $20/mo price will get me to join, though I'm certainly willing to do a multi-month join to get that price.
If a site is more than that price, they'd better be bringing it in terms of both quality and frequency of updates.
I feel quite ripped off if I join a site and they aren't updating.
So give me a decent price & a decent rate of high quality updates, be honest about what I can expect and deliver what was promised and I'm happy.

OK - so you can upgrade a few ways - when you join, you can choose premium channels - and they'll make very clear what the costs are. If you're looking at a scene in a Premium channel and click "Download", there will be a pop-up that will explain exactly what the costs are and you have the option to close the pop-up or to click through to the upgrade with the costs as specified, or you can click on "Upgrade Now" banner in a premium channel and you will get a pop-up describing what the costs are - and again you can choose to click through to upgrade or close that pop-up.
In every scenario, I believe that they're doing a good job of spelling out the costs with little risk of charges that catch a member by surprise.

"The recent photos at 1000px, might be that's the only resolution they got from the photographer who sold them the sets. Who knows?"
Check out the photoset posted at SexyBabes.tv yesterday - posted in a larger size 2 days earlier by Twisty's
So the people that SexyBabes.tv had only 1 resolution available to them but they made a higher resolution set available to Twisty's?
I doubt it.
I think that the people that run these sites just don't care to spend the extra money to make sets available in multiple resolutions anymore. I don't think they care about much at all in regard to these sites anymore.

Yeah - look at Babes.tv before and after the re-design.
Before the re-design, their updates had a definite personality. They were either glamour with a particularly debauched feel to them or gritty, like their awesome Jade Hsu updates - way past her prime, but still compelling and very sexy.
After the site re-design, what have they posted that couldn't be posted on a million other sites?

Porn is performance. I like porn performers that understand that it's a performance, so, yeah, playing to the camera in a sexy way is definitely a good thing.

Yeah - exactly - and why I say "They stopped caring, so should you."
It's the same thing at their "premium" site, Babes.tv, which is posting the same mish-mash of licensed available-anywhere crap as the other sites.
And they've stopped updating Dreambabes.com, Eurobabes.com, etc - while leaving on the Sexybabes.tv "Bonus Sites" page that "Many of these sites are updated daily while others are updated once per week." DB and EB were both sites that had updates that had a different personality than Sexybabes.tv - and that's what's gone completely from these sites is any hint of personality or any indication that there is anybody in the company running these sites that's doing anything other than telling the company that they're licensing from - send us this many photo-sets this often - and then posting them.
I disagree with the comparison with Nubiles. I know that you don't like the direction that they have gone. I actually think that Nubiles are putting up a lot of good stuff and they clearly care about what they are doing - they're not running their site on auto-pilot as these people clearly are doing.

I joined the EA upgrade and I thought that VB did a good job at making it clear exactly what I was doing when I did it. I believe that it would be difficult for a non-upgrade VB member to be sucked un-knowingly into an upgrade with their current set-up.

It's far from my fave ALS Scan material (that would be their Caribbean trip stuff), but I love Tanner and she looks great here. I'm glad that they are doing more different stuff and it's fun to get a BTS of a glamour-porn site shoot (Tanner's doing a shoot for ClubSandy.com in this scene).

I'm afraid that I've never downloaded anything in standard to compare - since I move my files to DVD, I get the largest ones that I can, figuring that they are the best available quality - I'm happy with the quality that I get from VB

I'm not a member at this point. I got sick of the increasing photo-shopping, though I like their concept and their babes. But fisting - very rare. There might have been 1 fisting scene added in the last year - their usual fare currently is a hot babe showing off her bod, stripping and masturbating, most often outdoors with all natural sounds.

Excellent review - and I completely agree with you about the live shows being worth spending time talking about - including Live With Lauren. I assume that most of the regulars there are watching from their jobs. I only get a chance to see it if I'm home sick of something. I've got a wicked crush on Lauren - both for her looks and her personality.
She's actually directed a number of scenes, in addition to playing other bts and administrative roles, so it's much more interesting to have her in that position than it would be if they had just hired someone new to be the host - all of the NA staffers, including the live show mods, motorboatme and Sandy and quite cool people, from what I've seen.

Yes, this site has the widest range of Japanese adult material, pics and vids, presented in the highest quality way, of any site that I've run across - actionjav.com comes in 2nd - their advantage is very consisted 5 dvd/day updates, while jsexnetwork is more quirky in their updates - and actionjav.com has no uncensored vids.

I've been enjoying my Naughty America membership - as much for the live shows as anything else. I checked out the speed issue with mixed results.
I tried downloading the new Anna Marie Rios vid - didn't work at all - errored out. I tried downloading the Charmane Star vid that was released yesterday - not using a download manager, it's coming through at 515-525 kb/sec. I can't complain about that.

Different tastes - this site is moving higher and higher on my list of sites. Why? They're getting better and better at finding models that look like they're enjoying themselves and they have a refreshing - and increasingly rare - lack of photoshopping on their nice big lovely pics.

Yeah - agreed - I got bored when they started having too much photo-shopping in the pics, but it's a really good site - very consistent with hot women posing, stripping and masturbating - sounds good to me!

This review is incorrect about zips - from the home page, click on latest in the galleries area, then click on the latest gallery. You'll get a page displaying pics - 40, which is an average size for recent galleries - then you'll have "Download this gallery" at the bottom with a drop-down menu for choosing the size of the pics that you want from Small to Extra Extra Large - 5 choices. You click on "Extra Extra Large" and Save File pops up immediately. Click on that and you're downloading a file of 70 mb.
As to vids, they are pretty much non-existent when it comes to new ones. The most recent internet exclusive vid was released 1/01/09, the most recent before that were released 2/27/08.
They also no longer have live shows. The most recent of those was 2/03/09.
They do release bottom-of-the-run porn comps frequently - they have so little interest to me, I'm not even checking the specifics.
So it's all about pics for new stuff - and the archives, which go back a ways.
