Though they don't really offer a lot to sample, I love how you can browse through their whole collection for free and read the video descriptions. I still check their site to see which videos have certain material when I am about to watch them. I just wish they would say what is also included in the photoshoot section (might entice me to join again, since I do love their photography).
Yes, you definitely get your money's worth for the first month, but after that it seems like a small discount or something would be in order if you were to continue as a member.
Their content does seem like a pretty good investment though, because even as HD video and hi-res photos become the standard, their older stuff is still unique enough and decently shot to be worth saving.
I've got In the Crack on my long list (it's over my max of $30) of sites to check out once I win the lottery and don't care about price any longer and it's in there with the Dev8 sites (they are all $30) in the high interest group. But I'm still checking the sites that are under $25 which are, by and large, quite good.
Because I've only checked out the preview site (gotta love Andie Valentino's super hi-def sample-1920x1080 (1080p) full HD) I really don't know much about the In The Crack site except what I see there. Dev8 provides a lot more opportunity to sample their stuff and I agree with you about the feel being European. (I believe, based on the TBP review, but do not know, that Dev8 Entertainment, Ltd. is a British Virgin Islands company.)
All sites operated by Dev8, including this one, are summarized at indexxxed.com so if you want to search all scenes for a specific model on a specific site (or all sites) you can go to indexxxed.com. It's a free site, BTW, and a place to go to find trailers for every scene on every site operated by Dev8.
While I don't agree with all you said in your review and actually rated it 11 points higher, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I don't agree with your video quality remarks, as I think the 07 videos are good quality for their time.
However I will agree 100% on a few ponts: The lack of any search function at all is flat out ridiculous for a site in 2009. Especially compared to some sites who let you search everything from boob size, clothing or labia size.
The one other thing that bugs me about the site, is the fact that Rob (the guy doing the shooting and behind it) seems to always think he's ideas are the only ones that matter. For example I brought up the image resolution thing to him and he pretty much told me I was dumb and 90% of subscribers think the images are already too big. And that sites doing them that big are just gimmicky.
Yeah, I am really lost as to what he or she is referring to. Maybe it is someone who works for the site (but I doubt it) or a really enthusiastic fan...either way I still hate the anonymous ratings, even with comments.
Excellent review! Nice to see a member being honest about this site; I mean really, what's with all the high scores?
Anyways, I am never sure how to classify this site. Like others said, it is too disrespectful to its models to be glamour, plus most photos and videos are not up to the more "artsy" sites' standards, and if they are it took too long to implement. It is not really hardcore either, or at least solo hardcore, due to all the repetition. I became so bored with the site so quickly.
I am not big on search features -- I prefer to just wander and wade through the material -- but here the quantity overwhelms you long before the quality does. I think this site has a lot of great content, it just doesn't present it to its fullest potential.
I'm a long time subscriber (at the $19.99 "please stick around" rate that was offered when I canceled last Fall) and agree with a lot of what you say. In fact I just submitted a poll question prompted by your review about a site's search function. FTV's is the worst in the business.
I really like the quality of the current HD videos and the very detailed and extended shots of a babe's body. I also like the fact that there is seldom any lighting issues and phony orgasm grunting.
And I find the current crop of models in the new releases to be outstanding and love the video work on them.
That said, I really don't like (I have written the webmaster about this), is the amount of time spent on a single aspect. While a dildo insertion in a lovely young cunt is a great thing to watch, when a 10 minute segment starts and finishes with the exact same camera position and the model is still pumping away with her toy, it gets rather boring.
I also dislike the fact that there is no opportunity to download an entire set at one time. This is the only "premium priced" site I am aware of that hasn't caught up with the technology.
The naming convention mbaya mentions also sucks, but what's worse is that they have some pornstars in their sets that are identified by completely different names and are described as if they were some young college girls doing soft porn as a lark. (Among their stuff you can find Carmella Bing, Phoenix Ray and Gianna Michaels, all having been posted long after their successful porn careers were in full swing but with silly first names like Clara and Becky.) To their credit they do have Isabella Camille and Jessie Capelli identified accurately.
As a final note, being a tit man and leg man myself, FTV's productions do an excellent job of showing absolutely gorgeous and well thought out explorations of those body parts of each model.
In my humble opinion, mbaya's score is a very fair one and reflects my opinion as well.
If I hadn't given you a positive trust rating before I would give you one today for this review. I agree with everything you wrote and know it to be the truth. You only left out the derogatory remarks they make about some of the models because, somehow, they didn't live up to their expectations. I found this so humiliating to those girls that I would not re-subscribe to that site EVER.
Yeah, this is why I like PU so much: It gives us consumers a guidance + punishing the "evil forces" while giving incentives to companies to focus on quality, value for money etc.
WMV quality question: Kbps on the WMVs varies a lot, too. Samples:
4157, 3496, 3321, 7509, 3674, 2538, 2873. These begin with some of the most recent end with a couple from when they started doing WMVs.
That's about all I can give in quality stats. I'm not fluent in "video."
Some of us here pay in Euros directly, so I really couldn't factor in price that much, though my score for it isn't quite as high as some.
First, I want to thank you for your review. I'm not being sarcastic at all. A site like pornusers is meant exactly for that.
I first read your review the very same day it was posted and I hesitated if I wanted to reply or not. I decided not to.
Believe it or not, I read every review any of our site gets. What members have to say is important to me and to our network. Yours included.
I understand you didn't appreciate my answer and I'm really sorry about it. The fact is, and this is also why I had decided not to reply your original comment, I had no power to help in the first place. The following is a little technical and boring but you guys want an answer and I don't want to disrespect anyone by ignoring them.
See, we do not process credit card ourselves. We deal with third parties so we never are in control of credit card info and it's actually safer for customers to know that people dealing with their credit information are specialized and authorized to do so. It also protects us of being accused of fraud and such other shady practices. All this to say, we authorized that special price for a limited time and when its closed, it's all automated process so it's not like we can call sommeone and ask to authorize this card holder to get the special price... I cut the corner here to leave this simple but I'm sure you understand dealing with credit card processors is very complicated and technical, especially when you have these types of special. We have a tech working full time with credit card processors. Trust me, it's not an easy job.
All this to say, when I received your complaint, I had the option to answer this very complicated and unsexy answer ( which maybe I should have done), ignore your complaint ( which I never do: I respect our customers, and even our non-customers), and answer you politely I'm sorry but I can't comply to your request.
I never would have remembered I added "no one else complained". I'm sorry I added this comment, I agree it's silly and certainly not needed. Brain fart? Probably. Really I've dealt with tons of customers and I'm sure they will say I take good care of them.
With more time to think, I now know exactly what I should have added. You're willing to spend this 10$ and it's true that I would much rather take that than nothing. Since we can't do it with credit card for technical reasons mentionned above, I'll make it right for your original request. Send a check for 10$ at the adress mentionned on the join page using check option and please include your original e-mail in there so I'm sure it's really you and an e-mail address for me to write back with your month access for 10$. If you're still interested in checking out brainpass.com, I think it's a fair deal for both partiess involved, no?
Sorry for the long read everyone. Just want to add all comments are welcomed on any of our site. I don't always agree, but I always respect other's people opinion.
Unfortunately, I've never been able to have access to both, and I've followed brandi for a couple of years. I only joined her site once and haven't since because these days people are used to a network of sites for the price.
The network has hardcore straight and lesbian content but apart from ivana fukalot's site it's rather tame and boring. If posing does nothing for you stay away from this network. I have a 3 month membership for 18onlygirls that gave me access to all 12 sites. I don't know the conditions for other membership types. The websites aren't very clear about the included perks for one month memberships.
Mariah's videos are solo masturbation and vibrator scenes, hardcore BG scenes and lesbian scenes. I'm not sure if much content at all is exclusive to the site. There is probably not all her work included from other sites but some scenes are from aziani, brazzers, Danni, naughty america, penthouse and the big dicks hot chicks networks. Also some scenes from feature movies and early career teen scenes. I'd Say about 60 HC BG scenes, 30 lez and 20 solo of diffent quality depending how old the scene is. There is also little few candids and camshow archives(320x240 quality tho) stretching back a couple of years.
There is also about 60 scenes of strapon fucking, some include mariah and some are other pornstars.
Pornstar exchange includes non exclusive scenes from about 25 other pornstars ranging between 1-15 scenes for each pornstar e.g - Rachel starr, Rachel Roxxx and shyla stylez have about 10 scenes each, again in various quality.
Then there is about 10 black pornstars with a few scenes like Ice la fox, jada fire and lacey duvalle and some latin and amateur scenes.
Download options are sometimes jaded and can vary between different file formats.
because of youre review i joined that site. i agree with what you have written, and therfore i wrote in my review, that i am not that in voyeurism...maybe that`s also a reason for a lower rating, but imo the fullmemberprice is much to high for what you get. regarding also the newer higher quality other sites with much more extras it`s nowerdays a site with is only average. maybe that is a reason to why youre review from 2008 is higher then mine from 2009.
damm....i just saw, that you have taken my place number 8 :)..well done..i`am always happy to see plenty reviews, therfore i have an better oppertunity wether i check a site or not.
Thanks for the info on all the sites of the network. Looks like Rip Her Up is the most interesting one.
I was a bit skeptical when I saw you first mentioning the models might be from Spain or Portugal because I strongly felt it was an Easter European network. The models, the buildings that could be seen in the tour, ...
I now feel there's an important Spanish factor in it. I did some browsing, and there are two holders of the 2257 documentation: one is in Gibraltar (a small British enclave in mainland Spain) and another one is in Valencia (a Spanish city). The tour is also translated to a flawless Spanish and many of the models have Spanish sounding names. Some are South American for sure but there must be several Spanish ones among them.
I'll for sure will have to join this site at some point. Thanks again for all the info.
This is a new Muffia site. You may get a full-access trial to Muffia if you join Reality Kings. I got one when I signed a couple months ago. Unfortunately, King Dong was not up yet then.
