Thanks for the comment. I like detail so I tend to add a lot to reviews. I sometimes wonder if I go overboard though.
Again, thanks!

So far there doesn't seem to be any overlap. Take the model "Gloria" for example. She has a number of sets at Young Legal Porn and she is the sole model at Skinny Super Girl and there was no real overlap. Sometimes the video from a shoot would be on YLP and the photos at SSG, but no real overlap.
I'll definitely be putting a review up, but I can say for certain that the score will be MUCH higher than 62. This is a great network for those who like these models.

It's rare for me to go for more than a month. It's common for me to put a site on a regular rotation and get a monthly membership there every six months or twelve months, depending on how much new material is added.

I saw that too. I think you're right so that is definitely another option. That might be useful too since there is a lot of great material on this network.

Hookers, or more accurately, escorts, for me please. And I'm basing this on an assumption that if I ever encountered something so catastrophic that it caused me to have to give up porn that it would also make be really rich.

I’m going to admit that your recommended response is the right one – a company offered me something for a price, I paid that price and I didn’t get what was offered. I agree that one of the available solutions is asking for (and reasonably expecting) a full refund even though they could argue that I got a lot of value anyway.
But… since I’m only a few days into the membership, and I have faith even in porn webmasters, I’m still going to see if the site will just provide what I bought.
I have two emails in to them – the first one saying that I didn’t get network access, and the second pointing out that I signed up through TBP which gives a discount. They responded to my first email offering me access to one additional site. They didn’t respond to my second email but obviously got it because they gave me access to two additional sites.
So the plan now is to write them again and remind them of the discount. Maybe they intend to revoke that, but they hadn’t when I signed up so I should get access to the full network. I’ll be sending them an email with this information ASAP and I’ll let you know how that goes.
I’m also thinking that PU has a lot of members who probably take advantage of the discounts. If they aren’t honoring their discounted price I suspect that the staff at TBP would pull down the discount information that would then have a negative impact on new memberships.
Thanks for the interest in this.

I remember several years ago another webmaster told how he'd post new material and within hours it was on tube sites and torrents. I'm aware that Hollywood is able to compensate for piracy by just building in some costs for it, but obviously they have the economies of scale to do that. A small, unique site like your obviously doesn't have Hollywood studio money to throw at piracy. This is wishful thinking, but in a perfect world we'd have access to DRM-free porn at a reasonable price and the pirates would be out of business.

You have my apology. When I took the time to read the reviews more thoroughly it became obvious that they were the real deal. Every site has some things people don't like and the reviewers point out a few of the negatives too. I doubt that a fake review would do that.
I hope that getting some reviews here generates some new memberships for your site. Cosplay isn't my thing, but it does look to be an interesting site and your models look great.
Again, my apologies for shooting first and asking questions later...

For you as a webmaster, that must be frustrating to see. Most of us here take a dim view of piracy and realize that for new and interesting porn to be made people need to be paid for their efforts. I can boast that of my many terabytes of porn, not one byte is pirated. I'm sure I'm not alone here.

Thanks for the suggestions. If this persists I’ll certainly contact CCBill and see if they can help. At the very least, I know I can cancel the membership easily if nothing works.
For now I’m just going to wait to see if they reply to me again. They responded quickly yesterday but since this is Sunday I may have to wait a bit longer. The position that their support staff took was that there are two tiers of memberships - $30 and $40. One is a site-only and the other is the full network. Since I paid $30 then I have site only. I then went back to them to tell them that I signed up through TBP and that a discount was offered. I also took a screenshot of the sign-up page where it clearly shows the discounted network price. If push comes to shove I have that to show them, and it may help with CCBill too.
My suspicion is that that they contract out support to a third-party company and that company isn’t aware of the discount, or they are aware and just didn’t realize that it applied here. I’m not giving up hope that the simplest resolution will be the one they choose to go with – giving me full network access for the agreed on price.
I’m not sure that I’ll look for a refund though – I have downloaded a lot of material from YLP and I wouldn’t feel right about demanding a refund. If the folks at YLT refuse to do anything then I might see if CCBill can intervene.
My information on the TBP discount was a reply to their email to me. There was a lonk to allow replies and if I don’t hear from them by tomorrow evening I’ll open a new ticket and see what happens.
I’ll keep everyone posted as I know there are some PU members thinking of joining too.
As you point out though, I am simply asking for what I paid for. The screenshot shows what I opted for – full network access for $30. I have a lot of options, and even the worst of them – cancelling and just taking the $30 hit isn’t all that bad.

No answer to my question yet, but it is Sunday so I'm willing to wait until tomorrow. I had an issue with a site once and the staff at TBP stepped in to help resolve it. If I don't get an answer from the site I may try that route. If Diesel told TBP that they'll offer a discount and then don't do it, I suspect the TBP staff will want to know that.

I doubt that I could make a good case for a refund since I couldn't wait for an answer and started downloading from YLP already. They could easiy argue that I paid for YLP and I got YLP so there's no valid complaint. I'll wait and see...
One big issue I'm having now is the download speeds just fell off a cliff. I'm seeing speeds as low as 60kb/sec. That isn't acceptable. They start out fast (1800kb/sec) but then drop off almost immediately.
And I'm still having to download photo sets manually since the download gets 'denied' when using Free Download Manager.

I'd definitely hold off for now. Their customer service seems to be willing to help and I'll certainly report how this gets resolved. What bugs me is that I joined specifically from a page that offered the discount. So their position now seems to be that the option I had was to joing the single YLP site and pay either $20 or $30 for it. Some option! My guess is that the customer service department just wasn't aware that there is the TBP/PU discount and since I paid $30 that means that I only have single site access since that's what they're used to seeing. Having specifically mentioned TBP/PU that might trigger something.
One other issue that I'm having is that Free Download Manager seems to work with video files and some picture files, but with other picture files the site denies access. If I get that sorted out I'll let you know that too.

I agree with everything you said. I should have noted that some of the movies that I was able to relocate cost me a lot and many have some DRM limitations. That's frustrating, but there's really nothing I can do about it so I'll just have to live with it.
I also wish that I had looked at more options for storing the tapes, even if it was renting a small storage locker. That just wasn't feasible though. But when I started to go all digital (first stored on CD, then DVD and now external harddrives) I vowed to never delete anything. Storage now is small, cheap and discrete so I just won't delete anything.
As for European movies, I understand that. I wasn't a big collector, but I had one title from the L'il Women series (from Germany I think) that I'd love to have or see again. I can find some titles from that series, but not the one I want.

I had to toss a lot of my collection too, mostly because it got hard to hide hundreds of VHS tapes. That's the bad news. The good news (for me anyway) is that I've been able to find a lot of it on the 'net over the past while. Some of it is pretty poor quality, but then it was poor quality when I had it. It was often a dub of a dub.
About a year ago I concentrated on finding a lot of my old favourites and was surprised at how well I did. I'm still finding a few too. Two nights ago I was downloading and watching some old Buttman stuff and stumbled on a title that I didn't even remember but one of the thumbnails looked familiar. It turned out to be a favourite scene that I had completely lost track of and it would have been hard to find since the girl only did three scenes in her short career. (It was the last scene in Bend Over Babes 1 with a girl named Chantelle.)
As for Traci Lords, I had one of her 'early' titles too. I can't remember what it was called, but you can be sure that is one I won't go looking for!

Back when my porn collection was more bulky and not comprised of a bunch of ones and zeros that live on a discrete box, I accidentally left a drawer unlocked and my stash was discovered by a rather prudish girlfriend.
I'm much more careful these days even though I can leave an external drive sitting on my desk.

like2fireone - thanks for the quick and detailed answer. This is exactly what I was looking for. I think a membership to this network has been bumped to the head of the line.

Sorry to ask what may be stupid question, but I think I lost the thread of the discussion. You and the others have talked about joining this site versus joining a network that includes this site. Which network is it that includes this site? TBP doesn't make that clear.
When I clicked join on SSG I saw a price of $29.95. Is that for the site or the network?
I'd really like to give this site a try but I'm not sure the best way to do it.
Advice will be appreciated!
Thanks

Twice. The kind with a happy ending. Both in Toronto. Thoroughly enjoyed it both times too. The first time was with a buxom lass who worked days as a bank teller. The second was with a petite Asian girl (who was born and raised in Canada). She did a body slide and that was a religious experience.
I haven't been back for maybe five years because now when I'm in Toronto I find that escorts aren't that much more expensive once you add a few options to a massage.

Great review. I'm a big fan of this site too, and many others on the Kink network. Like you, I always cringe when I see their membership fees, but then I remember that this is innovative and very well done. Their overhead costs are also likely quite a bit higher than a studio that uses a couch in a living room. For me, I think while the actual cost is higher than normal, it still provides excellent value for the money spent.
Also, make sure to sign up for their email newsletter because they frequently give site discounts to subscribers. Also, the last time I was there when you had a membership at one site you got a discount on others so that helps too.

Thanks for the reply, Monahan. I agree with what you said about Hustler. They've since dropped the DRM (on most files, if my memory is correct) but they still do a poor job given all the material and resources that they have.

I've caught myself referring to "the good old days" sometimes, but there is no evidence that those days were so good for many things. Just a few examples (besides porn, because those definitely were NOT the good old days...)
- food: when I grew up you only got certain vegetables and fruit in season. There was no economical means to get bananas, oranges or corn from the southern U.S. to where I lived. You made do with frozen or none at all.
- cars: screw the idea that the mid to late sixties was the best time for cars. I could afford to buy a Ford compact car or even a V6 pickup that would run rings around the performance cars from when I was a kid. And I'm safer and burn a lot less fuel doing it too.
- TV: remember when all you had was ABC, CBS and NBC. We had CBC in Canada, which was pretty good, but TV is much better thanks to networks like HBO.

That comment brings back some memories! I remember back in the early 1980s hardcore porn videos were illegal where I lived. That, obviously, made them hard to get. I got a tip that a local shop sold pirated VHS movies under the counter and that turned out to be correct. They were terrible quality, probably being a dub of a dub of a dub, and I paid $60 for two of them. I have no idea what that would translate into in today's dollars, but it was a lot for a kid with a just-above-minimum-wage job. That was probably the first money I ever spent on hardcore porn.
