A giant or ghost from the past! Nice to see you posting at this site again. Gives the site more authenticity when the "old timers" still participate.

Thanks to Khan for taking the time to check on this problem. And for Twistys, as well.
Hip, hip, hooray!

I sincerely doubt that PU/TBP knew this offer was so limited.
If you can't get a refund on your own, I believe Khan (or someone else at PU) will work with you to settle this matter: either a refund, or full access to Twistys for one month.
PU/TBP is not part of Twistys. But PU/TBP has stepped in to help their members in the past. And PU/TBP carries a lot more weight than an individual.

You're right. On the second page of the signup pages, it says:
"Membership renews automatically at $27.95 every 30 days until canceled."
But on the first page of the signup page, it says:
"Monthly for $ 9.95"
Kind of misleading.
Glad you pointed that out.
And like TheSquirrel wrote, you need to uncheck the pre-checked offer, or you will be charged for a trial subscription.

It's been a long time since I was a Twistys member.
The main focus, as I remember, are the photos.
They do have videos. But mainly softcore or midcore, from what I recall.
One positive for you might be that your skinny white girls are in the minority. The girls have medium or large (but not massive) breasts.
They do have a large selection of models, most of the better-known porn names. Almost all white. But not just teens. Many are in their twenties.
For $9.95, it's probably worth the fee.
Unless they charge you the higher fee in euros or pounds.

If nothing else, you can value Twistys as an archive site because of the huge amount of past content.
But it will be interesting to see how the new content changes. I never liked Brazzers. What I'm hoping to see is a new Twistys with a slightly harder edge. But still keeping the glamor-style. With good-looking models.
Is that too much to hope for?

Twisty's is a very nice site in terms of amount of content, and in the quality of the content. A lot of very beautiful models.

Maybe Twistys was trying to give you a subtle hint with their emails they are sorry to see you gone. I feel kinda lonesome myself, because I hardly ever get emails from my porn sites saying that I've been missed. I do get a ton of spam emails, some of which are supposedly sent from my own email address (a type of spoofing).

I joined Wow Girls on 2016-12-30, and was not given a choice of streaming only, versus streaming + download.
So I assume the option of streaming only started in either January or February 2017.
I joined through a special discounted offer (not through the PU link), for a 1-year term, which is why my membership would not automatically upgrade to diamond status, with access to all three sites, after 2 months. I would have to wait 12 months before I would be upgraded to diamond status.
(Normally, your membership is upgraded to diamond status after 2 months of continuous membership.)
So I paid $20 for the upgrade to diamond status.
So I guess that $20 is the current price to upgrade to diamond status.
Like I wrote earlier, the previous price to upgrade to diamond status was $70. Which caused a lot of complaints by PU members in their reviews of the Diesel network.
I assume very few people at PU took Diesel up on their $70 upgrade.
Diesel lacks a page inside or outside the site, spelling out the terms of service, which would list the cost of the upgrade to diamond status, that I can find.

Diesel network (Wow Girls, Wow Porn, and All Fine Girls) now offers members a choice of streaming only or streaming with downloads.
30 days stream only $19.95/recurring
30 days stream/download $29.95/recurring
180 days stream/download $99.95/recurring
Those prices are for a membership to All Fine Girls or a different membership to Wow Girls plus Wow Porn.
But they tell you on the join page what your choices and prices are on the join page.
But a membership to all 3 sites costs extra. I got my upgrade for about $20 (a one-time fee).
But I don't know if that was a limited time offer or the current price for the upgrade.
The upgrade price used to be about $70 (a one-time fee).
Except that after a continuous 2-month membership, you are normally upgraded to the 3 site access.
Except that I got a discounted membership, and I would only upgrade after 12 months.
So I paid the $20 for the upgrade.
Which I only learned after joining, and writing their support. Because they don't bother to spell out every little detail about the sites/membership rules (that I can find, anyway).

$29.99/month plus a VIP upgrade per month to enable downloads?
Ridiculous.
Makes me want to join a tube site where I can watch Twistys videos.
(Except it's been many years since I joined Twistys, and can't remember whether they were worth viewing in the first place.)

Very thorough review with a nice personal flavor. Agree that cheesy music can be annoying. I like if a model gets off, as long as it looks real or believable. The fake moans and groans are a turn-off.

Call meta billing, tell them you cancelled and are still being billed.
If that doesn't work, call your credit card company and tell them you are being billed after you already cancelled. That any charges from that site are fraudulent. If need be, cancel your old credit card account, and the credit card company should give you a new account number, without any charges to you for the new account.

Dracula's Comment
The Roku 3 model says it's HDTV only.
The other, cheaper models of the Roku say they work with virtually any TV.
I'm surprised that the most expensive model only works with HDTVs.
Am I missing something? Why would they limit the most expensive model to HDTVs only, when the cheaper models work with most TVs?
I don't have a HDTV. So I assume the Roku 3 model would not work with my current TV.
Correct?
Also, since I don't have an HDTV, that means I can't play 720p or 1080p definition on my TV.
But I could watch those videos on my PC monitor, I assume, and get the 720p or 1080p definition effect.

Like messmer says, it's great to see a new review from you. Your reviews give a personal flavor in addition to nice details.
The two main points for me that you make:
1. Mostly low quality bargain basement porn.
2. Hard sorting the good quality from the bad because there is so much bad quality.
I'm getting lazy in my old age. In spite of a low price and massive content, I no longer have the patience to search through the garbage to find the gems. And like messmer says, I've been spoiled by high quality videos to bother watching most low-quality DVDs.

rearadmiral's Review
Excellent review.
I wonder how common slow download speeds are at VideoBox?
On 2012-07-06, OneMan posted a site comment that he's getting terrible download speeds, 100 KB/sec or less. He lives in UK.
mike11w replied to the comment that he's also experiencing poor download speeds and that customer service is terrible as well. He lives in the US.
TheSquirrel, in reply to a different comment on the site, wrote:
"It may be the ability to download material rather than the content that decides the review. I hated Video Box and never went back because they had the slowest download speeds I have ever experienced. Their customer service was non existent. Streaming was impossible except some time after midnight here in the UK. Good material and value but it all depends on the ability to watch it.
For those who can access the content I fully understand why it should get high marks, but it's a lottery on download speeds. From what I have heard US appears not to be so bad, but European members often report of slow speeds and download problems."

A short review, but the points are made very clearly. You gave a simple but effective explanation for your lowered score for the site. Your review is definitely worth reading, not just for your opinion of the site, but also for why software updates can be annoying.

You can do a "special" or "advanced" search at The Best Porn (the sister site of PU), and search by cost for sites.
Can also search by "special offers" and a lot of other factors, if you want to add those to the search.

Relations between the U.S. and the UK have been rocky off and on ever since the War of Independence (1776). But even your fellow European porn sites will charge you in Euros when they can get away with it. Porn operators will normally show no mercy to their customers. That's the law of the Porn Jungle! Eat or be eaten (better when you have a female partner with you).

I think you are basically right, that your expectation of "DVD" quality was just too high for what is mainly available on the Internet.
I've never watched a porn file I downloaded on a TV either.
My only experience is with PC monitors.
And Maggie and the other TBP reviewers have far more extensive experience with all kinds of porn than I will ever have.
But there is a wide variation in the bitrate and other quality factors in the porn videos you find on the Internet at different sites. There are some sites that have some extremely high quality videos, and the quality keeps going up as time goes on.
So one day, if we are still around, we will be able to watch these porn videos on our TV sets, when the quality becomes good enough. Lol.

LOL. Well, you've answered your own question.
The video files you don't like for their "low quality" are low quality as regards bitrate.
Whether you've been spoiled or whatever, it's wonderful to be able to watch a video and see it with good to great definition, which takes a higher bitrate than what is available on many older videos.
A lot of "DVD" quality videos are not really very good quality, especially if you want to watch them full-screen.
I don't like watching videos that are fuzzy or unclear. Most PU members don't either.
So welcome to the club (but I think you were already a member before I was). :)
Edit01: Watching a video in a smaller window makes the video appear clearer. The poor quality is not as noticeable.
The high bitrate videos you think are poor quality might have been remastered (?, not sure what the correct term is) from lower bitrate videos, without really improving the original video.
Someone like Toadsith is an expert in this area, and could give you a complete and accurate explanation of your problem.
