I've never had a problem using the monthly calendars and don't wind up back where I started as the OP mentioned, but they do really need to make it possible to search for models by name and to search for work across the network.
The bizarre thing is that non-members can find a particular model's work across the network easier than members can. So what are you supposed to do? Go into the site in one browser as a member and go into it with a different browser to search as a non-member?
They need to fix this. They are working on integrating the network - if you go into some of the secondary sites as a member of Pix&Video, you'll be in a beta area that is integrated, though it needs a LOT of work, in my opinion, to be as user friendly as it could/should be.
For instance, with the beta you can choose a site from the network in a single windown with a pull-down menu, but you cannot see all updates across the network, which is really where they should go, if at all possible.
The frustrating thing about the secondary sites is that they dole out the updates over the course of 7/8 days - adding pics and video clips to the same update - so even if they had the thing I described as seeing updates across the network, if you wanted to be looking at complete updates, you would need to be looking back to see what the update was 8 days ago.
As I say, they've got a lot of work to do to make this network as good as it could/should be - but jumbly as it is, the current deal gives members a whole lot of very good material.
Yeah, I've been putting comments on the reviews of this site about the hideously poor rate of updates since at least mid-2008 trying to warn people about this site. Oh, well - I tried.
No problem, Khan - as I said, I have no doubt that TBP had the access to the other site that you said you did.
TBP gets no advantage that I can see from posting inaccurate reviews, and it's always been my experience in my years around here that TBP does everything reasonable to ensure that reviews and all other info provided is as accurate as you can.
My first thought about the review was that the info about the bonus was just a carry-over from the earlier review of the site, but once you told me other-wise, then I figured that something else was going on - either they had changed back on 11/15/09 or had made a membership with different coding available to TBP's reviewer.
For me, this is one of the ways when I know that it's time to cancel a sub. If I'm not excited about checking out a site often, or I'm not excited by their content when I do check it out, or I find myself repeatedly disappointed when I check it out - by the lack of new content or the fact that I'm not interested in the new content that they posted - then it's time to cancel my subscription.
On the other hand, if I find myself consistently happy with a site, I'll stay a member.
FYI - A better deal can be had by joining one of this company's premium sites - Karla Spice, Gigi Spice, Tania Spice or Pacino's Adventures - all of which include all of the 8 sites listed above as bonus sites. Karla Spice is a topless site, the others have hard-core content.
Gigi Spice's content is limited, I should say. I don't know how much more updates this company has in storage, but as of the beginning of November, pics are out and about of this model with enhanced boobs and a more mature look under the name Caroline Alverez - so when the current stash that they have has been posted, there will be no new material from "Gigi". I suspect that they will make it another bonus site shortly thereafter.
Okee Dokee - My question to the Clara-G C/S rep was:
"I received this e-mail from you on 10/08/09 telling me that Ass Titans
is no longer a bonus site for Clara-G and vice versa.
Then I read a review that was from a reviewer who said that they were
a member in mid-November and that they DID have the Ass Titans bonus.
I looked at the site just now and see no indication that Ass Titans is
being offered as a bonus.
Could you clear this up for me? Is the Ass Titans bonus back - and if
so, when did that happen, since I was told on Oct 8 that the bonus was
gone."
I received the following prompt response:
"At this point Ass Titans is not given as a bonus for Clara-G and vice versa.
Not sure why the reviewer gave this comment but it is not true.
I've got no reason to doubt that Vanessa's experience in the site was as described - with a link to Ass Titans in Clara-G's site and vice versa. So I can only conclude that somehow the reviewer membership that Vanessa had access to included that link while ordinary members do not - since ordinary members USED to have that link, perhaps this was just an error that she was given a membership with old coding.
But clearly, this is now confirmed a second time by Clara-G's C/S that nothing has changed for ordinary members since the e-mail that I received on October 8 - Ordinary members of Clara-G.com DO NOT have access to Ass Titans and ordinary members of Ass Titans DO NOT have access to Clara-G.com.
That's totally bizarre! They e-mail me telling me that the bonus is gone and then change it back 5 days after my membership ended - that just seems truly weird!
I'll e-mail the guy that gave me the info in the first place and see if that's the case. I'm wondering if they're giving reviewers a different membership, since on the Join Now page for Clara-G.com, there's no mention of the Ass Titans bonus.
Personally, I download the vids that I like and watch them that way.
I recommend going to 1 site that you can concentrate your energies on.
One of the big problems now is that none of the sites have any individual personality, which makes them more boring than they would be if there were just 1 site.
That's my feeling anyway.
You've always been a good guy in your interactions here, Nick. I definitely wish you the best in bringing your sites - or at least 1 - back into the kind of quality that I used to enjoy. It's a challenging economic environment for sure.
Good to see you're still around, Nick - given the down-grade in quality of this site and the other related sites, I was thinking that all the real people had gotten the sack and that the sites were all set on auto-pilot.
Yeah, I found the site to be quite slow when it came to download speeds. I found speeds could be so slow that files would simply break off, so starting a download and going to bed didn't give me something to look forward to in the morning.
As per my other comment, Vanessa's needs correction in terms of Ass Titans being a bonus of Clara-G.com as well - it is no longer a bonus - so that's 1/2 the material available to members gone.
Vanessa liked the site more than I did, which is fine, but one thing that definitely needs correction is the part of the review that states that Ass Titans is currently a bonus of Clara-G.com. I was a member from mid-October to mid-November (she did her review 5 days after my membership) and it was definitely not a bonus at that time.
On October 8, 2009, their C/S responded to a couple of inquiries that I had about the site and stated:
2) AssTitans is no longer a bonus site for Clara-G and vice versa.
Thank you for the email and looking forward seeing you making an account
with us :)
So I'm not sure how Vanessa could have had access to this Ass Titans bonus, since their C/S definitively told me that this bonus didn't exist any longer - as was my experience for the period right before Vanessa's review was done - strange.
The rate of updates of all of the Jules Jordan-related sites in this network has slowed down to a depressing level, unfortunately. They've added more porn star sites to the network, but the sites that were exciting in the network - the Jules Jordan sites, Jenna's site, have really gone to hell in the updates dept.
I know - they reduced their updates for a few days - and reduced their promised update level - and then have eclipsed it with 6 updates/day for the past couple of days.
Merry Christmas. I'd rate this up there with JSexNetwork - they're both very good sites - this one's more consistent. JSexNetwork is more quirky and unpredictable - with more variety - I saw that they had an update the other day that was like Porn Fear Factor - Yucchh!
Funny, when I take a look at American Vice's recent updates, I'm seeing anal, anal, dp, anal, anal, fat girls, anal, inter-racial, anal, anal, Asian, anal - lol
This was true at a certain point, when Raven had a dispute with the webmaster(s) and walked away from the site for a while, but she returned - I'm not sure exactly when - and the samples that I've seen of updates look new - her bod looks like it's maturing as one would expect it to be.
The rumors that I read say that she's in school now, so she isn't doing webcam shows, which was a significant part of the site as it is with any solo-girl site, and that she is probably not going to be doing new updates for the site much longer. That could change. One never knows.
When I was a member, when it first opened, the models were Thai - I was a member for 3-6 months, I forget whether I did 1 or 2 90-day joins, but by that point I was so tired of the lacquering of the pics that I quit and never have considered joining again since all the samples have shown that this is their preferred style.
And yes, they gloss them up artificially - it's all very pretty and the models are all very hot but the lacquering gets to me.
I much prefer the style used by Graphis and other Japanese erotic photography.
It's what their members want - or at least the vocal ones - whenever there's a scene that doesn't include anal, there's always very highly rated comments complaining about that.
I have the same issue with this site as I have with their other site, Pier999, which is that ALL of the pics are heavily lacquered.
So they get great hot models, have them in hot outfits and hot poses, and then, for my tastes, ruin it all with the lacuering of their pics.
I want to see real skin tone. I find it very frustrating to see that being erased by their treatment of their pics. If that doesn't bother you, this is a very good site - and has the archives of Asian4You, (I hope I have that right), which also lacquered all their pics.
Actionjav.com used to have what to me was a confusing pair of membership options - VIP membership was a monthly join of $34.95/month and gave you access to vids in RealPlayer and WMV format. Then they had a DIVX membership that was a bit less expensive, as I recall, and gave those members a set limit of gb to download within a month. Those members were only able to download vids in the DIVX/avi format. Once those members hit their download limit, or the 30 days, whichever came first, their membership was over.
Actionjav.com has now made a change to one membership option - $34.95/month - with access to all content. Those members who had purchased the DIVX membership will have their membership converted to a monthly membership - I don't know if it will automatically renew at the higher price or not. But they might gain a lot if they have been frenetic downloaders and were about to reach their limit and now have the remainder of the 30 days to download to their heart's content without a download limit.
On the downside, they have backed off from their 5 vid update schedule/day - they now promise 4 or 5 updates per day.
I don't know of another site in this genre promising and delivering 4 or 5 complete recent jav's per day, so they haven't killed their site, just making things less confusing membership-wise and saving themselves a bit of money by cutting back a bit on the updates.
I put "It depends", though I lean toward "getting better" - perhaps I should have flipped a coin.
How is it getting better? HD-quality - being able to see gorgeous women in such great detail is very cool - both for vids and pics, the better sites are presenting awesome material.
Accessibility - pretty much whatever you want is out there and quite accessible. When I first looked at porn, I could either wait for something to come to Pussycat Cinema or go to an adult book store. Now, whatever you want is accessible from your seat in front of your computer.
Where things are going south a bit is that some sites are getting more cookie-cutter, as per my criticisms of Babes.tv, SexyBabes.tv, Babelicious, etc. They've given up on trying to be anything other than a shell for licensed material - probably like radio stations that decided it wasn't worth it to be local & unique and decided to be an affiliate of a national corporate broadcast.
So that just means that porn consumers have to have their radar out to see which sites are changing for the worse and to let other consumers have a heads-up.
Being as I'm old enough to have gone to PussyCat Cinemas for a number of years, it's been-there, done-that for me - and I've got no great desire to repeat the experience. I like watching porn in the privacy of my own abode, where, quite frankly, I can masturbate without fear of being busted like Peewee Herman.
