I'm not sure why this was news to you, messmer - I and numerous others have posted about the no-longer-updating sites previously at PU
a) all of these dormant sites have a good deal of material to look through (94 scenes at Brothas Fuck Teens, 97 scenes at Busty Fever, etc)
b) If 17 sites are dormant, that leaves 23 sites that are active, which is one hell of an active network, and a hell of a stash, since some of the sites have 100's of scenes already available and the most active sites update 3-4 times a week.

I think they must be up to their old tricks again with the bonus sites. I remember when I first joined how difficult it was to get a straight answer from support about exactly which sites were included at which points in time. I has got a lot better but not quite there yet :(

As for Zoliboy, it looks like about 1/3 of the content is split up so that you still have download two or more updates to get the full scene. I don't know why he does this but, not having been a member of Zoliboy before, overall it looks like he hasn't really brought his product into the 21st century: few pics, smallish movies (most are only "high" or "medium" quality .wmv files) and a messed up model directory.
I believe that it wasn't until late last year or early this year that 21sextury started including more sites into one network (I think that came with the overall of the site(s) design). Moonbyrd did spell it out in that you don't get access to all of the 21sextury sites: there is still some segregation going on as he mentioned. Just as reminder, you don't get all 40 sites until after 30 days, just 25 the first month.

I promised myself to stop writing here, as my opinions obviously were not welcome. However, this question has a simple and straightforward answer. As far as I can understand, there are basically two different packages. You get one of them when you join the main 21s network or Pix and Video or Club Sandy. This package includes P&V and CS, but not such sites as Fassinating, Horny Eurosluts, Dirty101, Lezbohoneys, Flexypussy etc. Those sites repeat scenes that have originally appeared on P&V or CS.
The other package does not include Pix and Video or Club Sandy, but does include the aforementioned sites not included in the first package (Fassinating etc...) which offer rehashed content from the two flagship sites split into different genres. This package is included when you join through any of the other sites. Simple, isn't it? I know this by having subscribed to both types of packages.
As for Zoliboy, the newest content is organized the same as any other site on the network: you can download the entire scene. Older content is still in smaller chunks, and it can not be streamed.

I agree because the only thing we can do is warn other people of the changes. Then it's their choice if they don't mind joining a site that has mostly streaming videos. I've posted an error report a TBP so they can alter their review to match the changes.

Thanks for the info messmer. I suspected that the changes were done after TBP's review. There is no way they wouldn't have noticed that the videos are now streaming only. I hope TBP makes a change to their review because a lot of people will get burned like me. I know that I would never have joined any of their sites if I'd know about the streaming only option.
Score is correct that it will stop piracy but the problem is that it will also stop paying members who only wanted to download to their computer the pics and videos from joining.

I understand Mesmer, I'm not too far away from you in that I actually prefer softcore (although I actually dislike lingerie sets and have a fairly strong foot fetish), especiall when it comes to mature sites. This is why Ive been known to frequent sites like Allover30 and southern charms.
I need to correct my original statement regarding 50plusmilfs as I meant to say it is mostly vids (not pics).
I must say that you must really be desperate for the type of niche you mentioned if subscribed to 50plusmilfs for the interviews,lol! You've expressed this before and I feel kind of bad you've not found that ideal site. (Neither have I in some ways) Although don't sites like Allover30 and Anilos fit the bill to an extent, they are constantly updating?
Anyhow, carry on.

First off sorry you were disappointed Messmer. I think the score is a bit low, but can understand your point of view on it.
IMO 40somethingmag has value, but only in the right context. As a standalone sight it is hard to justify the purchase even at $19.99, which is why I'm a member only as a result of the Score Rewards plan that is offered on most of the major Score sites.
Basically if you purchase one site for $19.99 you get to add on a new site each month for the same cost. I have memberships to most of the major Score Group sites using this. And I think they definetely have some pretty good sites on the whole. Sometimes you have to wait to add the site you really want but I won't bore you with the details.
I look at 40something mag kinda like this, they are a hybrid jack of all trades type of site. They do pictures better than a site like Naughty America, in which pics are just an add-on, however they get smoked in the vids department by a site like that.
On the other hand imo they do vids slightly better (primarily due to the lack of HD downloads) than a site like Allover30. At least from the standpoint of hardcore-if that's what your looking for. (While obviously getting smoked in the pics department)
My only issue with your review is that your motivation for joining came from 50plusmilfs which is essentially hardcore only. Yet when judging this site, you didn't like the hardcore focus.
Really, one could argue that based off that you should have given 40somethingmag an even higher score than 50plusmilfs. Since 40somethingmag has both hardcore vids and pictures, while 50 plus milfs is primarily pics.
The one area that the Score Group has made a miserly and imo short-sited decision is to house most of it's HD vids on ScoreHD. HD vids of 40somethingmag exist, but they are all available on ScoreHD along with the HD vids to most all of the ScoreGroup sites. (with exceptions for explicit standalone sites like 50plusmilfs, and ChristyMarks).
I cannot speak to the watermarks. I respect and understand your dislike of them, but I'm sure that for many (like myself) it is a non-issue and mostly a matter of preference/tolerance level.
Anyway sorry for the lengthy comment, and thanks for staying so active on the boards providing users with as much advice as you do!

Thanks for saving me some money. I'd thought about joining this site more than once, now I know better. I (reluctantly) understand the desire for a site to brand their product, but huge watermarks - especially those that block the "fun parts" - are annoying as hell. Not something I can see paying for.

lol I totally re-read my reply and realized I totally messed up my question (I've had a few beam and cokes :)) I meant to say have you been a member of any of their sites and have maybe not reviewed them. Lol, I totally dropped the ball on writing that text, huh? :)

Ah yeah I meant a review or comment on PU. I was assuming that maybe you knew the watermarks of the photos may be based on a previous membership that maybe you never reviewed/commented on. As far as the remark about any of the sites, I think (and think it is) that this company had a site that primarily was mature video content, while this particular site is mainly photography. I see now that the reply could have been taken the wrong way and I apologize, but it was a reply that was whole heartedly in good fun when I thought that maybe you were a previous/current member that may have not reviewed the site yet. Thanks for the reply :)

I just checked some of the content I downloadaed while being a member there and besides of the fact that the pictures I grabbed are mostly nice I agree with Maggie and you.
A pic of my favourite model Andie shot in 2006 and 809x1200 pixel large has a watermark of 297x66 pixel with the padding to the top and left area added it takes up 306x74 pixel which is annoying. That's more than 1/3 of the horizontal image area.
I'd really like to go back to this site but as they still use such intrusive watermarks :-(

I am sure sure there are some that must be paid for. But if you google them yo can find them. Most of the time there is not any decent sites on these listing anyway, most of the higher grade sites have ways of preventing numerous IPs from signing in under the same user name

Well yes certainly. That works a lot like the Thumbnail Galleries. But I have also seen a good bit of exclusive content their as well.
Yup, password sites exist! This is why there is many sites that have download limits and make you sigh in ever hour or so.

Well. That could be a little of both. many people put stuff on there just to share with others and other people put stuff on their that they download. There is a good amount of content that is okay to be there, but there is also a lot of content that was bought by someone then posted for others to download for free, thus screwing the site owners and the rest of us who are paying the premium price. Usenet offers a way to steal content from websites with out ever touching the site.
I was mostly referring to websites that post hacked user names and password for everyone to use. Unlike usenet, this method still required the owners to pay for the bandwidth with out being able to collect any membership fees.

Yes how true, many men do not. On the other hand, does a map company "own" directions? Of course not because you could also go to Burger King and ask someone that is eating and get the same directions. It really comes down to would you have bought the map if the clerk could not answer you, or would you have simply ask someone else. However, the store clerk could have simply said to buy a map, but he chose not to. Cup half full or empty I guess.
If you look at a picture that you NEVER had the intention to buy than the photographer really has lost nothing if you look at it at your friends house because you were not going to buy it regardless. It does not cost the photographer money for each time a friend looks at another friends collection. Of course, a person should not copy their friend's collection, unless of course they want to pay a membership fee at least.
On that, it can be seen that password cracking sites are counterproductive to the porn community because even though a person may never had intended to pay for the pictures he is looking at, the owner still had to pay the bandwidth usage it took to download them. This means that the owner would never had mad any money off of you but he still had to pay for you to be able to look at them.
Gee, now I feel bad myself for using that password crack site while back. Kicking my own ass!

I wouldn't accuse you either way, but we will not get into my views on the laws of piracy. Most of us have used something to see pictures without paying for them. No different than going to a friend's house and looking through their collection. Can be a good way to see who you want to subscribe to. No different than flipping through a magazine at the store before deciding to buy it.
Here is one for you. If a person goes into a store that sells road maps and get directions from the clerk, did the person steal from the store?

InFocus Girls, Nubiles, Zexy Teens, Xisty, Twistys, and others seem to have pretty small markings too.
I just checked out 40 somethings homepage, they dont even let you see a sample photo anywhere! From the outside of the site a person would never know that the watermarks are an issue.

I must agree with this. I have seen this in too many other places too. A small make can actually be nice so you can tell where the pictures, or videos even go. I like to keep things sorted by site and some have no markings and a year after downloading the video I usually do not have the slightest clue where it goes. But, they should be small.
Many of the nicer sites have a very small marking that must be looked for at times. I really do not like the large ones either, they really should blend into the picture. Every one will know who's it was since it is still there, but should not take away from the picture. Too many times have we seen the best part covered by these marking!

Just wanted to add that I recently joined this site since it was announced you could download the videos. While not HD, the clarity of the video (at least for me) has been quite good. I think the content is excellent and I have been very happy since I rejoined this site about a month ago. I understand those that want true HD, but if you want to download "good" quality videos then this site works (IMO). Good luck!

I could be wrong but I don't think their earlier stuff was in HD only because HD is a fairly new type of resolution.
I might also go the HD route for TV if I had an HD converter but I'm still using a basic cable converter so it's standard resolution for me. Mind you most of the stuff I watch doesn't require HD to be appreciated and maybe it's better that way.
