A FEW WEEKS AGO, EARLY JANUARY, THERE WERE SERVER PROBLEMS AT DIESEL.
DOWNLOADING A 720p FILE WOULD TAKE HOURS, INSTEAD OF A FEW MINUTES.
I ALSO HAD TIMES WHEN I COULDN'T LOG IN TO THE NETWORK.
I GOT THE ERROR MESSAGE:
503 Service Temporarily Unavailable
I POSTED A COMMENT ABOUT THIS AT PU.
THE SERVER PROBLEMS WERE FIXED WITHIN A FEW DAYS.
HOWEVER, ANOTHER PU MEMBER SENT ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE THAT HE WAS HAVING VERY SLOW DOWNLOAD SPEEDS ABOUT A MONTH LATER AT DIESEL, COMPARED TO OTHER PAYSITES HE WAS USING.
DIESEL CUSTOMER SERVICE SEEMS HIT OR MISS.
WHEN I SENT AN EMAIL TO DIESEL CUSTOMER SERVICE STATING I WAS HAVING SLOW DOWNLOAD SPEEDS AND TROUBLE LOGGING IN, I GOT A REPLY A FEW DAYS LATER THAT THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN FIXED. NO OTHER EXPLANATION OR APOLOGY.
LATER, I HAD ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH DIESEL, SENT THEM AN EMAIL TO CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND NEVER GOT A REPLY.
NORMALLY, I'M HAPPY WITH THE SERVERS AT DIESEL. BUT THEY CAN HAVE PROBLEMS, EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.
Read "What happened to the new membership network access" comment by elephant posted to 18 only girls site.
The webmaster stated in a reply several weeks back that there would be a new program giving access to Wow Girls and WOW PORN if you were a member of the Diesel Access network.
I don't recall the exact details.
But he stated in a reply to elephants comment above:

Webmaster Hey guys! Like always, it took a bit more time. The alpha version was not up to my expectations so I sent it back for improvements. I think, it will be released during this week, my best guess it will be Tuesday or Wednesday but again, something may go wrong!
skippy, thanks for the MetArt tip on viewing options.
I've been a member of MetArt for over 10 years, off and on.
But just looked at the photos, almost never bothered to explore the options to make viewing easier.
LOL.
But I still find it's easier to brows a set of photos at Diesel.
View a photo, and click the mouse to go to the next photo, which opens immediately, in the same window, etc.
Faster and easier than the MetArt system, which requires more mouse clicks, whether you choose to open the photo in a new window, or in the same window.
If you still have a subscription to one of the Diesel sites, try viewing a photoset online. I think you will see what I mean.
As far as Diesel, I don't think there is any basis for deciding what content goes to which site.
I've mentioned years ago that the idea was to create separate sites to build revenue, instead of having a single site. Since more sites usually means more subscriptions.
Years ago, they sometimes had a video of a model, and the photoshoot of the video might be posted on a different site than the video was posted at. Proving, to me, at least, that the basis for selecting what content goes to what site was random.
I'm referring to 18 Only Girls, Wow Girls, and Wow Porn.
When they still had their older sites, most of that content was specific to those sites (before they folded most of that content into 18 Only Girls, and deleted the rest of that content).
When I say that a video and its accompanying photo shoot could be posted at 2 different sites, it was not common, but it did happen. I thought it was funny.
Thank you for the reply sir and I did note the pov/non-pov in the review. Yeah the alien one is just.....moving on, lol. I joined just for that amazon video which is just wow! Pretty awesome despite the short length. The full length I found are on horrorporn.com btw.....
Great review! I haven't been a member at X-Art is about three years and based on your review I checked it out again. While the tour isn't great I think I'll rejoin. I wish they had a discount!
I HAVEN'T BEEN A MEMBER OF THIS SITE IN SLIGHTLY OVER A YEAR.
IT USED TO BE MY FAVORITE GLAMCORE SITE.
BASED ON THE MODELS, AND THE EXCELLENT QUALITY OF THE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS.
IT'S A SHAME THE OVER-ALL QUALITY OF THE SITE HAS DECLINED.
SO IT'S NOT QUITE AS GOOD A VALUE AS IT USED TO BE.
BUT THE BACKLOG OF PHOTOSETS AND VIDEOS IS STILL OUTSTANDING.
I think heartcore's definition probably varies from person to person, but this is what I consider heartcore:
Artsy, lots of foreplay, non-penetration acts (especially kissing) that eventually leads into what is supposed to be passionate intercourse.
My biggest problem with heartcore porn is one I talked about in one of my reviews, maybe Sex-Art. They've got me convinced that male talent #1 is really in love with female talent #1. Then I watch a video of female talent #2 and she's with male talent #1. Then I watch 30 more different female talents and 25 of them are with male talent #1. I've always been known for complicating things when it comes to porn, but I'm fairly forgiving when it comes to fantasy aspects. For example, most Kink content has convinced me the women prefer harder sex. The step-sibling niche is another that I can at least see in fantasy, but the heartcore sites are trying to convince me or my fantasies that this one male talent really loves 25 women and they all love him too. Maybe that's it, I can accept almost any fantasy except for ones revolving around a real emotion like love.
I did not base my comment on duplicated material at X-Art and Colette on what I saw at those sites.
I was repeating what I read at Indexxx.com.
The comments were regarding X-Art and Colette.
Not MetArtX or any of the other sites in the MetArt network.
Also, TMW is primarily Russian/Eastern European models, not US models.

They are adding recycled material, video games scene was published on teenmegaworld long time ago. Even in the x-art info you can see that this model is already 28.

Both x-art and colette sites suck! they posted another model called Tini, showing her old material from wtfpass websites from a couple of years ago. They did the same with Angelica. Does anyone knows what happened to colette/x-art? Did they sell those websites? X-art was one of my favorites :(
Thanks for the compliments about the videos being well done. That truly means a great deal to us. And I am always happy to respond to someone who takes the time to offer their thoughts about what we do.
In regards to our target audience it is neither male nor female. YanksVR is a brand extension of Yanks.com which we founded in 2002. We have honed the messaging and targeting quite a bit over the last 15 years. Our evolutions have always been data driven which is why we are still here after 15 years. This has led us to us positioning ourselves as a premium 100% female produced website (absolutely true of course) that focuses primarily on authentic female pleasure. If you are a guy or a girl if you enjoy that you will enjoy the site. The orgasms are as real as advertised and many of our girls have expressed a desire to be together before the shoots. It is this experience that we are trying to improve. I wouldn’t want to position it as for women or for lesbian women as that approach would be too narrow.
In regards to your suggestions I understand your viewpoint and will pass on this review to our producers. You are totally correct about the challenges VR presents right now. It is so early and in regards to cameras, rigs, positioning, etc there have been immense challenges.
Your analogy regarding 3rd person viewing however isn’t exactly accurate. If it was voyeur porn would not exist and the gamers making a million dollars a month streaming their games would not exist. I believe you are perhaps, naturally of course, allowing your own tastes to limit the attractiveness of the product to people who enjoy other niches and other experiences. YanksVR is a step in a direction from Yanks that is really early in the game. There is so much potential here. We have some things in the works that I believe would be steps towards what you would consider better use of VR. I do agree that we, and most people, are not optimizing it yet. Which is ok, it is early.
Our site is a higher cost than average. Once again this was data driven based on what we have seen from both Yanks.com and YanksVR. We launched at $30 and raised it to $40 and found that our loyal customer base stuck with us at the very same rate and with the very same loyalty. This allowed us to reinvest in new cameras and up our game. The first of the higher rez content was posted on Feb 1st.
I could also go into some of the details of the much more aggressive marketing approaches that some of the lower priced sites use, however I will keep it civil. You probably don’t see them as much because you are coming across quite technically savvy and probably avoided them without noticing. Most folks will however pay the extra $10 at some point.
Again, your review and thoughts were very interesting to read. You clearly know your stuff and something to know about me is that advice and suggestions tend to sit in the back of my head for a while and spin there.
Sorry "all girl" isn't your thing. No worries at all. However I would like to clarify something in your comment. The purpose of VR, like video is certainly not limited to one thing. Yanks.com was build on the premise of being the fly on the wall and observing women by themselves and with other women. YanksVR now takes you into the scene as if you were on the bed with them or watching from a very close position while offering all of the 3D effects that VR entails.
In regards to the size of the YanksVR site, we are about average right now in terms of quantity of scenes. Not the biggest and not the smallest, but right in the mix. In terms of the niche, All female and 100% female produced there is only us.
Hope you find what you are looking for and I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
