I'm not worried as to whether or not it'll be a positive experience since I've never been a member here before. So without a doubt, there will be enough content there to keep me entertained for at least a month, but probably 2 or 3. That, and I tend not to care as much about things like breast size (or implants), age, or the type of scene it is (anal, vaginal, DP, etc). I just want to see a woman I find attractive having orgasms, which makes me pretty easy to please. I don't even mind lower quality (640x480 or so) if it's from a scene old enough that I know that there isn't any better quality of it out there/possible. I'm much more worried about the multiple comments about crappy navigation than I am about not liking the content. Because what good is having good content if it takes me forever to find it?

Thanks for your comments, I take a lot of effort to do a review so I appreciate the feedback. I usually make notes from the first day of membership, jot down a pro or a con, take some stats for the bottom line, jot down an occasional sentence or paragraph for the bottom line whenever I think of one, then after a week or two start to put it all together. I always take several weeks to complete a review because I am constantly tinkering and re editing. I know you and the other members take pride over what you write too.
I only join the occasional site,(and some of those I don't review), because I do actually view the material. I don't just download and store it away, and I only get limited time to watch porn. This is I think a good thing, because you do get jaded after a while, and unless it's brilliant porn, it all starts to look the same.
I know what you are saying about quality. I try to remember those old pirated videos from 30 years ago. Awful quality, but it was the best you could get. We are spoilt for choice and quality nowadays compared to then. Unfortunately once you see the better quality definition, then the rest starts to look inferior. What looked great two years ago, looks inferior now. I love high quality, and VB often gets the picture perspective wrong - something that American Vice got right.
One of the advantages of VB is you can view all sorts of videos with models of different age, size, race, and colour, which is something you can rarely do with most memberships. They claim they are "networks" but many of the sites on those networks all look the same.
Good to see you still around, making replies and comments.

Sorry about the delay messmer, might have been able to save your "go back to old site" link.
It seems VB has now pushed the old site's link off the VB3 page, but if you don't clear your cookies, it could still be there. I don't know if maybe they did it because of people joining through the old site. If you joined through the old site you could add Evil Angel and Vivid channels for $10 each, making a membership to VB, Evil Angel channel and Vivid channel equal $32. Now when you join through VB3, Evil Angel is $15, Vivid is $15, so it's $42 instead of $32 to get that combination. But I had no option to go back to the old site after running CCleaner. I'm at the point where I would rank Videosz a little higher than VB after they took away the old site.

I've tried mp4s and I agree with you on their quality. My beef with that format is that I really don't like the players. I've tried Quicktime and VLC and I don't like either of those. But with wmv HD getting more rare, I suspect I'll have to jump ship soon...

I too experience the connection problems and the freezing up problems, but the last 2 weeks or so they are getting worse. Frequently when I go in the morning to check the updates the server is so slow that I just give up and come back later.
Thank God that VB2 is still up and running or I would just leave the site completely. It does no good to have lots of cheap content if I can't see it.

The old site is the only one which works for me. If they ever turn it off I will cancel my membership.

I object to the 'could be better' statement messmer, that implies that it is actually half decent to being with ;). Its fucking terrible, it only seems to work if you are searching for recent and popular stuff. I don't think that I have seen one that is worse anywhere (unless things have changed since last I was a member a few months ago).
Monahan is right, their naming scheme is also bad, my guess is that they have plenty of members and don't really care.

Are you using VB3 - the new version or the "old site" as they call it? There's a pornstar list on the old site, but my comment was specifically referring to VB3, which is what they encourage everyone to use and which does not have a pornstar list.

Haha, good luck with that one. Can I interest you in some 25 year old plastic surgeon's pet project girls in gonzo porn? :)

Sorry, clicked reply on the wrong part. That was intended for original reviewer. Oh well, it still shows up.
I do wish VB have more small niche stuff but people just do not make that many DVDs of that type of content. Seems like if you want something specific and slightly off the beaten path you much find a site that caters to that specifically. Thank the porn gods for the internet or we could never find porn of a pregnant midget drinking its own pee, or whatever it is one might have a sudden desire to see.

I have never had issues with the downloads here. I have at least 12 TB from that site with extremely few problems. Failing at 99% sounds more like an issue to your system. Many download programs will split the files and it could be having issues putting them back together. I have never been throttled by them, even when downloading at 100 MBit or when downloading at 15 but 24/7 for a few months on end.
VB is mainstream because they are a 3rd party site, so that has to be expected. They offer about the same allocations of different types of movies as you would see different types of websites out there. 95% of porn is the same cookie cutter stuff, so that is what they are going to have. They do not make the porn.

I agree with you and maybe the death of Megaupload is part of the reason why. They may have gotten a lot more members since all the Mega guys had to get their porn somewhere and this is probably the least expensive way to do that.
Hopefully they is only temporary because you will get a lot of more pissed off people if this last for a long time.

I have been having the same problem messmer. I mainly use VB2 and it's not even showing up part of the time. Also having to download 5-6 files at one time to get a decent download speed.

I'm not sure what the problme is but I couldn't even go beyond the first preview page. I hope for their sake that they weren't using megaupload servers to store some of their files.

I have said a number of times this is the worst site I have ever experienced as far as download speeds are concerned. Mostly the troubles seemed to happen on the European side. It was slow, it was irritating, and most of the time impossible to stream. However Canadians are part of the Commonwealth, so I'll have a word with Her Majesty, after she's finished giving Obama a blow job. She doesn't have much else to do.

Enjoy! I'm trying to decide whether to hang around for another month. I'm caught up on video downloads but I've been going back and getting higher-resolution versions of favorite scenesnow that I have a faster connection. And i also feel a bit guilty since I've downloaded probably 700GB so far this time.

It's good to see your coming around messmer! But now that you mention it, 'mature' is probably an underserved niche on VB.

messmer - can't remember if we have had this up earlier.
But: Did you take a look at JB Video?
Do not know much about the site, but have seen quite a few trailers of newer and vids of somewhat older JB Video-material - and a lot here is milf/negligee/stockings for you...and pretty good - in my opinion.

Best of all, the drought seems to have ended. From December into January, the updates at Videobox were the worst I've seen since I've been a member - just dismal. They've really picked up lately, for my tastes.

Oh dear, I know you're right. Porn.com pissed me off because of their trick of trying to convince me that their "discount" of buying into the exact same network for 3 times the money, when I tried to cancel membership, is a good deal. Otherwise I would still be with them. VideosZ tries to trick you into buying membership with a pre checked cross sale, so they pissed me off too. One or two others I went to join had the same dirty tricks, as well as regional discrimination.
The result of all this is that for the past three months I have been downloading for free using those file sharing sites which Khan and Rick hate. I send a resounding "fuck you" to VideosZ, Porn.com, pre checked cross sellers, and regional discrimination sites. Piss me off or try to trick me and you lose my custom. I'm, not putting up with it, and I don't have to. If you go out of business, good.
I have been tempted for the past two years to join VideosZ but I couldn't stomach the cross sell so I never joined. Good to hear you don't think they're any better than Video Box. Plenty annoys me about VB too. I have money, I'm willing to spend it, but for the life of me, I cannot find a site worthy of receiving my money.
Messmer, sorry about this, but once again it sounds like I'm angry. I'm always angry.
