I AGREE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BILLING PAGE.
I TRIED THE SIGNUP, AND GOT THE SAME EFFECT:
CHOOSING A 1 MONTH JOIN FOR $14.95, ON THE NEXT PAGE IT SHOWED A 1 YEAR JOIN FOR $89.95.
I SUGGEST JOINING THROUGH THE TEEN MEGA WORLD SITE.
CLICK THE TEEN MEGA WORLD SITE LINK AT PORN USERS, THEN GO THROUGH THE SIGN UP PROCEDURE.
CHOOSING THE $14.95/MONTH OPTION BRINGS UP A BILLING PAGE THAT SHOWS $14.95/MONTH.
JOINING ANY ONE OF THE TEEN MEGA WORLD SITES GIVES YOU ACCESS TO ALL THE SITES.
SO YOU WILL STILL GAIN ACCESS TO TEEN SEX MOVS.
REMEMBER TO UNCHECK THE PRE-CHECKED CROSS SALE. LOOK FOR IT ON THE JOIN PAGE, OR ELSE YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR A DIFFERENT SHORT-TERM SUB WHICH CHANGES INTO A VERY EXPENSIVE MONTHLY SUB.
I think you expressed the idea very well in your review of Teen Mega World:
"For some members, the thin girls will be an absolute plus, so I admit this is all about personal taste...Add 10 points to the score if you like thin young models but subtract 15 if you don't."
Personal taste is a huge factor in how much you enjoy a site. But patience and other factors also count: are you willing to wade through the junk you don't like to try to find what you might enjoy, or will the junk turn you off before you can find any material to your liking?
I know that I have paid for sites I barely looked through because the material I first saw was boring or disappointing. There might have been videos or photos I would have liked, but it just wasn't worth the effort. So psychology plays an important part in how much we enjoy a site, in different ways.
There is very little material at Teen Mega World network that I find really outstanding. But I think the network deserves a high score, not because of my personal satisfaction or dis-satisfaction, but because there is a large amount of content that is "good" quality and the price is low.
But the network could be improved a huge amount. By better material, easier navigation, etc.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I have the same problem of non-loading thumbs with Opera that I have with Firefox. I rarely use Internet Explorer browser, because I've heard so many complaints about security issues. There are security issues with Firefox and Opera, but I read about them much less often. But that is because Firefox and Opera are used by far less people than Internet Explorer, so the hackers concentrate on the most popular browser (Internet Explorer), and devote less time to hacking the other browsers. But there are security issues with all the major software (browsers, office applications, Adobe software, etc. etc.
If I knew more about PC software, I could probably get my PC to load the thumbnails in Firefox and Opera, but for now, non-loading thumbnails is something I just have to live with at some sites (other sites load the thumbnails with no problem, so it must be related to the server/software at the sites themselves as well as the software settings on my PC.
I've joined a few other networks, that have multiple site access for each network. At those networks, you can use your username and password to log in at any of the member sites of that network. But if it's easier for your programmer to use the method of a single entrypoint to the network instead of multiple entry points, it's a little less convenient, but no big deal.
What would be nice, as you point out, would be to make the hotlink for member access to Teen Mega World more visible. Just make the script/letters a larger size, so they are more prominent, and put it on a separate line by itself. I would think that would be very simple and easy to do. And the member entrance would then be much easier to see and notice and find.
Are the pics even worth downloading? This seems to be a site that emphasizes vids. The pics would be an afterthought, extremely doubtful the pics would be high quality. So what use would the pics be? As a fast reminder of what the vid was about?
My theory is that by splitting the contents into 30+ sites, it makes the contents appear much bigger than if the contents were split into 1 or 2 or 3 sites. So it's basically a marketing decision, I think. Also, with the contents spread into many small sites, they can offer access to the sites through each separate site, and through a group offer which is through teenmegaworld, which is not a single site but a mixture of most of the separate sites in the network. Somebody might be drawn/interested in a solo teen site, a boy-girl site, an old-young site, etc. etc. And they could offer a loyalty program that includes more sites in the membership the more months a person stays a member.
So it's basically a marketing strategy, I think.
But the site layout and design for each site is basically the same, from the sites I've seen, as far as navigation and having a video with an accompaning photoset, and the different options for downloading are the same from site to site.
I was a member of teenmegaworld before, and Denner's review is accurate. The navigation has not improved at all: it's very basic, and the search is very poor as well. I agree with Denner's review, except my score is much lower, because my taste in videos is different, and I have a slow ISP download speed (about 160 Kb/s), which makes downloading a single video take about 2 hours (in high quality), and I can't play the videos in flash mode, because my ISP speed isn't fast enough (the flash video stutters and stops, instead of playing). I mentioned the cons in my review, which is why I gave the site a lower score than Denner, who gave it a 90.
If you are into gonzo teen sex, then the network has a lot to offer. I personally want something with a "prettier", more glamorous look, where the models are attractive (they do have attractive young girls, but they are not shown to advantage), and there is more than just a meat factory fuck-suck sex. I would like some tenderness, or some slight story behind the sex to give it some meaning, or where the girls are really excited and enjoying the sex. The girls and the guys could be shovelling snow or mud for all the excitement and heat and enjoyment they are showing in many of the sex clips. I mean, the guys look like the sex is a chore, like they are working for a paycheck, instead of actually enjoying sex with some really cute girls.
You do get a one less bonus site when you join with the PU/TBP discount. But I did not think it was worth the extra $10.00 to join without the discount.
Joining with the bonus thru teenmegaworld I got:
$19.95/30 days membership
17 "exclusive" sites
16 non-exclusive sites
Checking the join page, non-bonus teenmegaworld, it states:
$29.95/30 days membership
18 "exclusive" sites
16 non-exclusive sites
And like I said, it is difficult to tell exactly what sites you get access to before you sign up. Once your membership is activated, and you enter one of the sites, you can then tell which sites you have access to.
So I was a little disappointed to find I did not get access to fuckstudies. I joined through the teenmegaworld site. Possibly, if I had joined through the teenstarsonly site, I might have gotten access to fuckstudies. Their bonus system is a mystery, and even the webmaster apparently has to check with somebody to be able to know exactly which sites you get access to with each site membership. And that is probably not taking into account the reduction in sites from the PU/TBP membership discount.
So is it worth it to email the webmaster asking for the specific information? When there are so many combinations?
Why can't they just make it easy on the customer, and give all the sites with any membership? Would it really cost them anything, after considering the added good will on the part of the customers, who won't be angry or disappointed because their membership did not include some network site they wanted as part of the membership?
Apparently, they give access to most of the sites in the network with any subscription. So why not give access to all the sites?
Maybe, in the back of their minds, they are considering a bonus loyalty program, where they will add a few more sites to your membership if you stay a member longer than 1 or 2 months. But I don't think they actually have that program in place at this time.
Oops. I just realized that I became interested in fuckstudies because I read your review on the site. So I guess I don't need to tell you about that site. Lol. :)
As you know, there are a number of different sites in the network. And they slice and dice the sites that you get access to, depending on which site you join through, and when you join.
I joined through teenmegaworld a few weeks ago.
I do not have access to 18firstsex.com.
I was hoping to get access to fuckstudies as part of my membership, because I saw some clips from that site that seemed nice. But I did not get access to fuckstudies either.
I've been a member of the network before. But it will a good while before I rejoin, after this membership runs out.
Sorry I can't give you any information on either of those sites (fuckstudies or 18firstsex).
I mentioned elsewhere that it's irritating that you don't know exactly which sites you will get access to before you join. They really should give you access to all the sites in the network. The way it currently works is a little stupid and irritating, because you always want what you don't get (if you know the sites that are available). Just human nature. :)
Thanks for the kind words. This site (and you get many other sites in the network with a membership) has some really attractive teen girls. The videos are all hardcore. But they leave me cold. I wish it was otherwise, because there are some lovely girls, but they are not attractive in the videos, and in the pictures they are even less attractive. That is me. I know there are PU members who find these videos hot, but I find them boring: hardcore fuck and suck, without any erotic or arousing quality. A real shame, considering some of the girls are really attractive.
I agree that the site preview is terrible, in that it does not show short clips of at least some of the site videos or photos.
The preview area states you get full access to over 25 bonus sites, but does not name any of the bonus sites.
I would give the preview a rating of "shit" or "shitty", which would have been a failing grade back in the day.
However, if you haven't been a member of this site or any of the Royal Cash sites, and if you are into teens, you might want to join for a 1-month membership. The network is primarily a teen video site. There are photosets, but the photosets are low-quality pictures that are basically screen-caps of the videos.
There are about 4 sites in the Royal Cash group that have hot teen videos that are the main attraction of a membership: fresh young girls, most models you have not seen elsewhere, in straight-fuck videos with little to no storyline. Straight-fuck means no story, but there is bj, anal, vaginal, whatever, mainly boy-girl, but some girl-girl, some threesome, at the different sites.
Thanks for the kind words, Denner. And it would certainly be a lot easier, as well as cheaper, if all networks sold a general admission membership to all their sites (hopefully, for the same price they charge for membership to a single site, or a selected number of "bonus" sites).
But why would they want to make it easy on us paying customers? Their job (as they see it) is to try to grab as many dollars and euros as they can from our outstretched hands. That is the beauty of capitalism: helping people get rid of their filthy lucre. :)
Fuck Studies is part of the TeenMegaWorld network, or maybe it's called the Royal Cash network, or the Royal Cash network.
That network is a solid teen network.
If you do sign up for that network, be sure to look for the pre-checked trial that will sign you for a 3-day trial to some other site. That trial turns into a high-priced subscription to the other site unless you cancel if you are accidentally hooked into a subscription. There's no reason to get the trial, so make sure you uncheck the box.
Only a few of the sites in the TeenMegaWorld network are currently updating. But there is plenty of hardcore teen content to look through.
The navigation is poor, the search is poor. But you can't have everything.
There are some very sharp (good clarity, good definition) videos at this network (TeenMegaWorld). The action is almost all gonzo: 2 or more teens banging away. But you have a lot of good-looking teen girls at this network.
The above is talking about the TeenMegaWorld network, not the TonyBucks network of my review.
CCBill is usually an easy billing company to deal with. My suggestion would be to ask for a refund of your membership fee. Explain to CCBill why you are asking for a refund, and you should get one. And then sign up with a site that offers you better service. There are many sites on the Internet that offer you, for the same price as this site, a much greater amount of content (videos) than what this site offers. Look through the sites that have similar content (hardcore teen videos) and a high score at Porn Users, and pick one you might like, after reading the reviews or looking at the previews of the sites.
Please believe me, I understand the staff puts a lot of effort into making P-U and The Best-Porn the best it can be.
I was not trying to criticize you or the staff-owners in any way.
I was just commenting-saying that the prices of some of these sites change a lot, and that some kind of active link might be useful to automatically update the current price.
But I don't know programming, so I don't know how easy-difficult that would be to put on The Best-Porn site.
I, and almost all the members of P-U, do appreciate the effort you have put into making PU and The Best-Porn useful and valuable sites for us. (We also like the lottery, even tho I have not won anything yet. But I hope to keep trying until I do win.)
As for regional pricing, until you informed me in a previous post, as I already said, I was not even aware there was such a thing.
I'm not a newbie in porn, but what I do not know is enormous.
Listed price at the site is: $29.95 US for 30 days recurring.
Listed price at the site is: $39.95 US for 30 days non-recurring.
TheBestPorn lists price as $24.94 US for 30 days recurring.
But TheBestPorn price is not a discounted price (at least no indication that price is discounted).
So the price might have changed since it was listed at TBP.
The prices at many of these sites change a lot, and you really need a dynamic link to keep up with the price changes, if you want to stay current (and then you need to list the discounted price from TBP as well, if there is one).
As far as model Stefany, she looks way past her teenage years. But many sites advertise "teens" that are way past that age. These sites sell youth, not truth. We all know that, even if we don't like admitting it to ourselves.
I only started looking at this site sometime in November, 2008, so there are a lot of posts I haven't read.
I haven't read about regional pricing.
I'm a US citizen. When I took a trip to some European countries, at some places, I was aware that as a tourist, I was being charged a higher rate than local citizens, for the same items, even though I was paying in the local currency.
Which I did not think was fair. But I couldn't do anything about the price difference I was charged. I was not the only one being charged a higher rate. All the people in our tour group were charged the same rate (except for the tour guides, who also got a lower rate).
Isn't there some way to pay in US dollars even if you live in Europe?
I live in US, and have paid in foreign currency for some transactions with a credit card. The credit card company (I think it was mastercard) charged me an additional 3% above the conversion rate. And the conversion rate was not as good as that quoted on Wall Street (for major financial transactions), but that still seems better than the rates that are being offered to you for Euros.
I just joined this network today, because, like you, I have been interested in a few sites in the network, and this seemed like a cheap way to get access. Since I just joined today, I have to get used to navigation at these sites. I click on a thumbnail, and instead of loading a video I want to see, I am re-directed to a site that I can sign up for. You weren't kidding when you wrote that: -Each page on the site is loaded with third party advertising.
I signed up through the Young Sex Parties site, but it's all part of the same network, I assume.
I think your description of the network/site is very accurate, from what I've seen so far. I've only watched 2 videos, but they both have a very amateur feel to them.
But I do believe there are more professionally shots videos at this network, because I've seen some of them in the past.
Do any of these sites have a simple model listing with nice-sized thumbnails to show what the models look like?
THE TEEN HARDCORE THEME IS ONE OF THE BETTER-SERVED THEMES IN PORN.
THE DIESEL NETWORK IS EXCELLENT.
THE GLAMCORE TEEN THEME HAS A BUNCH OF EXCELLENT SITES: X-ART, TUSHY, BLACKED, VIXEN, ETC.
I ALSO LIKE TEEN MEGA WORLD, BECAUSE IT'S A RELATIVELY LOW-PRICED NETWORK WITH A TON OF CONTENT. AND FOR SOME REASON, THE MODELS AT THE SITE, ALTHOUGH NOT USUALLY GLAMORIZED, ARE VERY ATTRACTIVE FOR ME.
AND TEAM SKEET HAS A LOT OF ATTRACTIVE TEEN MODELS, WITH MAINLY GOOD QUALITY VIDEOS, FOR AN INEXPENSIVE PRICE.
AS WELL AS OTHER GOOD TEEN SOFTCORE AND HARDCORE SITES.
REVIEW CONTINUED:
-GOOD DOWNLOAD SPEEDS. ABILITY TO STREAM AND/OR DOWNLOAD IN MULTIPLE DEFINITIONS.
-ONE NEW UPDATE DAILY FOR THE NETWORK.
-TOO MANY ADS, COMMON TO MOST PAY SITES.
-NON-SECURE LOGIN PAGE, COMMON TO MANY PAY SITES.
GIVING THE SITE A SCORE OF 85, BECAUSE OF BASIC NETWORK ACCESS. IF THE SITE WERE SCORED AS A STAND-ALONE SITE,
BECAUSE THE CONTENT IS MUCH SMALLER (IN TERMS OF VIDEOS AND NUMBER OF MODELS), THE SCORE WOULD BE MUCH LOWER.
The non-secure login and site pages is a common problem across the entire network.
However, this is a common problem with many porn sites.
There is a small chance your login details (username and password) could be hacked.
And your ISP will keep a record of your visits to the porn sites, because the pages are non secure. So the US government can access a record of your visits to those porn sites.
The poor connection speeds have been reported by several PU members.
But other PU members do not have those problems.
It seems to be hit or miss.
If you do join the site/network, I recommend getting a refund on your membership fee if you experience poor connection speeds.
At least one member stated he asked for, and received a refund on his membership fee.
As I wrote, some PU members love the network.
Others hate it, mainly because of the poor connection speeds, which makes viewing or downloading the content difficult.
