lol - I'm interested to see if badandy400 will answer this query precisely. Since the man calls a +3 Terabyte collection modest, the final number should be impressive. Perhaps he's counting right now? I'll check back in a week, lol
I once accidentally placed an anonymous rating (before I changed the default setting) but with Khan's guidance I fixed it. I always put a comment in my trust rating and even if it is a negative rating, I try to make the comment helpful and constructive. If the user I rated bad gets better, I'll switch my rating to a positive. I don't do anonymous ratings because I want the user to visit my reviews as they are examples of how I believe reviews should be done.
lol - yeah, I don't sleep at the same time as normal people - always been a night person at heart. To compound that I work for a computer accessories company, so despite our unfortunate East Coast location (leaving us several thousand miles from most of our suppliers), we still have to keep West Coast hours so we can actually do business with the West Coast on a daily basis. Our normal business hours are 10am-6pm EST, I adjust my hours all over the place, but these days I've been working 12-8pm, so I frequently go to bed at about 3-4am.
Thanks :-) Yeah, much of my Porn Users time has been dedicated to the Forums rather than reviews, I just find I'm more inclined to write little bits here and there on the forums rather than sit down and do the work required for a proper review - lazy at heart :-P I have 5 possible sites I could review right now, (not counting ol' Videobox which I won't review as I think that is rather thoroughly covered at this point) so perhaps I'll get off my haunches and do those...
Damn - seriously?? That is fucking lame - if I were you, I'd take those $20 and spend it on an IP spoofing program so you can port through an American IP, lol - you know, just to spite them :-D
Sweet, I was hoping they'd remove the DRM from GGG soon as I saw that one of John Thompson's other sites, GGG Sex Box - went DRM-free back in September.
Any guesstimate as to how many videos were DRM-free when you were a member?
Btw, I had run into the corrupted uploads when I was member as well, but I found if you emailed customer service they usually fixed it within a few days. Of course, if they are re-converting the older DVDs, they might not worry about an older corrupted file.
I occasionally follow Professional Cycling. Didn't follow it as much last year as they suspended all of my favorite big name riders due to the damn drug scandals. The UCI dictated the teams couldn't modify their bicycles to ride faster, so the logical conclusion is that they would start modifying the riders to ride faster - what did they expect would happen?
Interesting - perhaps it was the time at which I was downloading that was a factor, more than their servers. Still, nobody should complain about their servers being slow, that's for sure, lol
My current monitor is a simple 19" ViewSonic LCD. It was considered a gaming monitor back in its day with a refresh rate of under 3ms, but these days that is rather common place. Its native resolution is 1280x1024, so that's what I keep it at. Anything lower it looks fuzzy, and anything larger wouldn't look better - it would simply grant me more desktop space.
One of these days I plan on upgrading to a widescreen LCD capable of above 1080p resolutions (1920x1080) but the prohibitive prices matched to these products has kept that from becoming a reality. For the time being this monitor is doing just fine.
Simply put: I don't go to action movies to see people jump cars over exploding mountains while wearing a fire-retardant suit and a crash helmet.
Models in porn are in many ways more similar to stuntmen than traditional actors - we pay them to perform various sexual feats that are usually considered outside the norm and even dangerous. I understand that stuntmen often do wear protective gear - but they take great strides for us not to see it. So if porn figures out a way to hide the condom from the camera, all the power to them - until then I think there will always be a market for condom-free porn.
Assuming it is a rather large gallery, I'll usually pop through the gallery looking at a few random pages to get a feel for the content. If I love the content I'll go back to the first page and look through it, image by image, in order, from beginning to end. Then I'll go to the model's page, assuming the site is set up in that manner, and save a bookmark to download all of her content at a later date. Sadly this often builds huge bookmark folders meaning I have a hell of a task in front of me once I decide to download the content. For example, I'm finally archiving ATK Natural and Hairy - the bookmark folder consists of 272 models. Since I have to make a folder for each photo set, download and assign a thumbnail for the model's main folder and then assign a preview thumbnail for each set... this could take a while.
Great review, thanks - as a photo person, I may have to check out this site.
As for why some of us are bothered by pregnancy?
Ever seen the Chest Rippers from the Alien movie series? Just replace the fanged insect/snake with a really fat, tiny ape and make it scream like a wounded rabbit. Now put it inside the lower abdomen of another person. Have it twist, move and parasitically feed off that person - getting stronger and larger, month after month, forcing the host to consume more energy due to the added weight and because their blood system is feeding another being, like a tape worm, but more intimate. It consumes for almost a year and then it needs to leave, making the host's body an accomplice - but sometimes the host isn't fit enough (too small, too inflexible, too weak, et cetera). Sometimes they won't survive. So doctors try to help. They cut the host open, straight through the belly. They reach in and pull out this writhing creature and sever its connection with the host. Even with a successful breach from the host, the flabby, screaming parasite squeezing out through the sexual genitalia of the host, the parasitic relationship isn't over. The host's body is altered to lactate and feed the parasite for even longer - as if feeding from the blood stream wasn't enough, the parasite is now feeding off liquid expelled from the host's body. The real horrifying aspect for me, is that the parasite doesn't need the womb to survive, any good blood source will do fine. Hosts unfortunate enough to have a severe ulcer on the womb, puncturing straight through the wall of the womb, have had a fertilized egg attach itself to a very good source of blood: the heart. Aesthetically, the skeletal stance of the host changes - the hips widen, the center of balance is adjust to account for the weight - the host is physically altered not just in shape but in movement. All these things combined make pregnancy not the most erotic of visages for me.
I understand others talk about a "healthy glow" or the "miracle of birth" and so on - I understand it is a fetish for many - but in isn't for me. I do believe it would be awkward if a long-term lover of mine became pregnant. I would fully support her if her decision was to keep the child and I would take care of her and the parasite, but once it was large enough to change her physique, coitus would be much more difficult - especially oral administration to her. I fear my vivid imagination would ruin much of that. Hopefully we'd be smart enough to find solutions, maybe the furry scene so coitus would be performed in full body costumes...
I used to use Yahoo! anytime I was looking for an official site, like a company website, but Google has improved their results so much that most engines just pale by comparison.
Well, it has been almost a year since I was a member, so if the models have gotten more bottom of the barrel, that is unfortunate indeed. I'm surprised about the comments on the video quality, as I recall that being pretty good - near DVD quality but of course not HD. Some sites improve with time, others diminish.
Anyway - please post a full review, I'm sure other users would love an update on how much content is available and a different person's opinion of the site.
Pidgin. I used to use AIM exclusively, but as people started diversifying their preferences for IM systems, I needed a program that could interface with them all. These days, that program is Pidgin.
Despite videos taking up the bulk of my dedicated porn file space, I must say that I'm a photo guy at heart. So, assuming the site has photos, I'll gravitate to those first. Photos or Videos, I always traverse a site's terrain via the models. My entire collection is organized by site / production company first and model name second (preferably with a head shot to accompany the name) - so naturally it is by model name that I explore the site.
If you are planning on joining I'd recommend observing the site for a while to see if it goes through that site update they are promising. Just don't want you to jump on the band wagon only to realize it was upgraded to a coach a few months later, lol
That is a valid point - essentially the decision has already been made. I'll have to reconsider my score, perhaps it needs to be adjusted. Hell, I've been planning on adjusting all my scores to a less finite measurement anyway - maybe now is the time to do that :-P
Well thanks for sticking it out, many people run away from arguments (discussions, debates, et cetera) these days - it is always nice to run across other people who enjoy the activity. I'll admit I often have the habit of arguing another side just for the sake of arguing, it isn't in my nature to concede an opposing party's argument :-D
Assuming the raffle's engine truly random, I see it as perfectly fair. To earn tickets you need to be writing reviews and actively participating in the Porn Users community - limiting users from winning multiple weeks in a row punishes the most active members.
If popular opinion dictates that people shouldn't win multiple weeks in a row, I think their tickets should roll over to the next week. That'll keep infrequent reviewers like myself from holding off on a review just to make sure the tickets it generates actually count. While I don't actively hunt for tickets, I'm sure as hell quite aware of them.
I agree, one could worry about a slipper slope mentality to separating site niches to be rated amongst themselves - it could quickly become confusing. However, there is a single difference between the adult 3D games and the other sites reviewed on Porn Users that I believe negates this argument. The games are an entirely different medium, sure both can be viewed on a computer monitor, but the games are an interactive experience that requires user input. If there were more companies dedicated to producing adult games, I would recommend that sites like 3D Sex Games not be allowed to be review on Porn Users as it isn't a passive entertainment medium, like videos, photos and stories. That interaction that changes the experience at the users request makes it in many ways tougher to review.
I will grant you it is related, you are still viewing porn, but I think the experience is significantly enough different that it makes it quite difficult to compare. Separating "ATM from Anal", as you suggested is like saying you only review Hollywood comedies and not SciFi, or station wagons and not sedans (estates and not saloons, for our UK members). They are the same medium and narrowing down by niche that much on a user review site could be trouble.
Still, it is difficult to decide where to draw the line. For at the same time, despite being of different mediums, both an adult content website and an adult video game are trying to provide you with pornographic entertainment, so in that sense they are related. How they try to entertain you is significantly different, but the goal is largely the same.
On the other hand, I suppose I may have simply enjoyed messing about in 3D Sex Games more than you did. As you said - that is what the site is for. I hardly think the game is perfect, but I do think it is quite a laugh and a great time waster. I've said in the past that the numeric score is the most dreaded part of the review for me, I fight with myself over it for hours - in the end, perhaps I got it wrong on this one. I don't know. I would recommend the site to most people, but I'd certainly recommend MET-Art more. It is tough - I wish we just used a bloody 5 star rating system, lol
