Trials, other than full access trials, are a total waste of time and money. Met-Art has a 1 day full access trial for $9.95 that is the only legit "full trial" I've actually paid for in the last year. I like that approach very much because you can really see if you like the site and want to sign up without, in their case, dropping $30 for the privilege.
No, unless you have 24 hours to spend, youi won't be able to D/L too much of their stuff, but you get to really know the site.
In my case, I like video more than pix, and Met Art is principally a photo site (an outstanding one, by the way) but I was able to ascertain that it wasn't really my kind of site. The $10 saved me the $20 more that a month long access would have set me back.

Based in the comments on this site (Porn Users) this is a major improvement. The other suggestion made was to offer a dual membership to both ALS sites at a reduced rate. Any chance of that happening?

As I was first finding sites several years ago I was finding myself saying that 50 cents to $1 a day per month for access to a great looking site was cheap so why not? But when I ran up about $130 one month for 5 or 6 sites I decided that, perhaps it was time to put on a limit especially when I joined more sites than I could reasonably surf in the time available.
My rule now is that, if there's a site that I really like, I won't spring for it for 7 days ("coolong off period"). I use the time to read through the various reviews (if it's not on TBP or PU, I won't bite) and rtevisit the preview a few times.
That rule resulted in my not signing up for about 50% of the sites in which I had an initial urge. A few were put on hold but I wound up signing up a bit later.

I agree. The webmasters/site owners must know that TBP gets a lot of traffic from non registered people and that PU is as good a resource for non-members as for members.
PU is the Consumers Union of Porn afficionadoes and any site owners that don't pay attention to what is said here do so at their own peril.

If access is denied to a fully paid for site, the subscriber is entitled to either an immediate reply and repair or to an extension of his subscription. Most sites where I've had that problem respond very quickly. In those cases where no response is received, access is OK a few hours later so contact is not important.
One notable exception is Danni.com. That site does not respond to any emails to its support center. That's bad, because Danni has a serious problem with broken links and bad files, in particular some of its archived material. Sadly, the site continues to be unresponsive to its paying customers.
One site, victoriapink.com, gave me an extra month when they were unable to fix an access problem for a three day period.

I did that once with Venus Knight, whose website is AngelicaCostello.com. I was caught up in the process and just signed up for it. It's not listed in TBP but the price seemed right ($19.99 for 3 months - non-recurring). The site is pure garbage and has nothing at all worth saving on Venus.

I have had less than optimal luck with download managers (probably what the call centers call Pebcak (problem exists between chair and keyboard)), so I would like to hear suggestions from members regarding download managers and their utilization.

Excellent point, Robare. The same can be said for many other sites that update frequently but with short clips of the same talent.
In any case I have just signed up with FTV and, based on the Porn Users reviews, I expect to be very busy during the month. Thanks everyone for all the great feedback.

Thanks, Drooler. I found the list.
There were 7 updates between 8/1/07 and 8/31/07 on random days (Fri, Tues, Mon, Wed, Sun, Sat, Fri). I agree, for $30 a month that's not many, compared to, say, Bang Bros. with 10+/- updates per week for $24 per month. But FTV has such a huge library, it will take a month or two to just check out the "keepers" on the site.
But having had a chance to check out the free previews, which are quite good, by the way, this site really hits my preferences for HQ videos of gorgeous ladies. I prefer watching female body parts over some tattoo laden ex con hairy sperm donor sticking his gnarly schlong into a beautiful vagina, so I suspect I'll be dropping 3 Alexanders ($10 bills) shortly based on a pretty much unanimous set of positive reviews on this site.

If I sign up for a trial, it will only be for a full trial (where the TBP warning about a limited trial is not present) and then only if I can devote a significant amount of time to download all of the worthwhile content.
I have never let a trial flip into a full subscription, even when the site throws a "special" price to convince me to stay.

Follow-up - I let the membership autorenew (at $9.95 - the TBP discounted rate) to see about the hi res zips.
Nope. Not provided and no reply from tech support.
Great vids, but don't count on high resolution photos, if that's your thing.

When TBP has a positive review of a site and the site offers a discount to TBP members, and if the site has marginal interest except for the review and the lower price, I have signed up to give the site a try. So my reply is YES.
The Best Porn is really the strongest and best source for good info about sites, both from its staff and from this forum, and the discount feature is one very positive bonus feature.
In recent months I have signed up with only one site (Ox Pass) that did not offer a TBP discount.

By "stumbled" I assume you mean where someone who may not have been aware of my "stash" accidentally found it. Because I have various software locks on my "stash," the only person to whom I did not grant access to my stuff was the computer repair shop technician who asked me if I knew someone had been surfing some "naughty sites" with my computer. (He was checking the Internet History for reasons he did not explain.) Told him that I suppose that happened but I really didn't care.

I have been a very satisfied member of VideoBox for over 24 months and of Sexy-Babes.tv for 4 years. They are both cheap and loaded with the stuff I like. In addition I'll sign up for one or two additional sites depending on my work load and my free time.

Just to make sure I understand what you are saying...does MORE GONZO provide access to all of the stuff on All Internal, Prime Cups, etc., or just what it feels like providing?
In other words, if I want to have access to everything in Prime Cups, do I need to sign up for that site in addition to More Gonzo?

I don't try the $1.95 or $2.95 deals where TBP has the caution message jsut because I know it's worthless.
However there are some sites that sell brief, 3 day or so, access to the site without restrictions for, say, $9.95. I've tried that once and was happy I did. I was ready to sign on for a month to see what it had, but the 3 day option was a better idea. Why? Didn't like the site.

To be honest there are a few more than "three ugly ones" but I used that phrase as a take-off (so to speak) of the old Deja Vu Gentlemens' Club ads.
In an effort to fill the ranks of the Big Tits Round Ass site, they chose a few ladies whose avoirdupois is likely tipping the scale past the 200 pound mark and there are a few that couldn't do any damage over the 100 pound mark even when soaking wet.
To their credit, however, almost all of their stuff is definite woody generating material.

If you find that you signed up and paid for a totally sucky website go immediately to the site's support page and look for the Customer Service number (or CC Bill's customer service number). Call 'em up and tell them you don't want to be a member and please close your account and refund your money.
I've done that and occasionally have had success in closing the account and getting a credit back within 5-7 days.
If it works, fine. If not, it's definitely worth a shot, isn't it?

I had the same problem when a babe turned me on and a search found her website. I'd say "what the Hell" if the whack was $19.95 or less and was always, literally, disappointed by the crap. That's when TBP becomes my go/no go source.
I still have situations where I was negatively surprised by unadvertised limitations. The most recent case was "Girls Love Toys" where I discovered that zip downloads were not available unless you renew at least once. That sucks and was not mentioned in TBP's review or in the preview material. That's why I posted a review of this otherwise high quality site so that I could alert others to that fraudulent practice. (The volume of content is not sufficient to stay a member for more than one month so the fraud is clearly to whack you for an extra month if you like downloading photos.)
Conversely, I've signed up for sites based on TBP reviews where I intended to stay only one month but have stayed on much longer, which I guess one can call "Buyers Delight." (Sexy-Babes/Babelicious, etc. is one significant example.)
Caveat Emptor is alive and well in the Porn Site biz.

I agree. Exclusive stuff adds a lot to a site, but totally exclusive means a smaller site and more seraching for models or content I prefer.

Your review makes it sound like Nubiles is primarily a photo side with some video. Is that the correct impression?

Ditto that. On occasion there is a dry spell (today, for example) where I spent 15 minutes on sites and about 1/2 hour on TBP site.
Last week I signed up on a new (for me) site and spent almost 3 hours on just that site.

I generally like trial memberships because I like seeing what the site has to offer and how it's constructed. I'm OK with LIMITED trials as well, but only when it's very clear that's what you're getting before you pay anything. The only place to find a warning about a limited trial is by referring to TBP.
The rip[off not mentioned here, however, is when the trial signup includes a small print "opt-out" trial...or signup for another site. Unless you read everything in close detail, you can miss the alternative offer and you'll find out about it when the $39.99 hits your credit card.
