RagingBuddhist's Review
from abbywinters:
From our FAQ: Hey, how come a bunch of pics in each model's gallery look the same? You're ripping me off!
Actually, we're not ripping you off. This is a style of shooting that many of our customers enjoy, and does not appear to be done any place else we have seen.
What happens is this: We sometimes lock off the (stills) camera on a tripod, compose the shot carefully, and get the model to perform an action - say inserting and removing a dildo. Then, we take a pic at between three and eight frames every second, recording the action as she performs it.
If you download these images (as a zip is the easiest way), and use an image viewing program that allows you to press a single key to page through the images (you might want to choose to view our images full screen, "fit to screen"), you get an extremely high-quality "movie".
This allows you - in this example - to see what happens to each individual pubic hair, fold of skin, tiny muscle, and dollop of girlcum in the best possible quality and largest amount of detail.
Perhaps this is all a bit too explicit or "clinical" for you? Sure, we understand not everyone wants to see this kinda stuff, so we do the same thing for other actions as well, like a model taking her top off (seeing her tummy muscles and skin and breasts all move about is fascinating, we think!), or exercising, or rubbing lotion all over herself, or two models kissing passionately.
Some people think this is a waste of... something. They never can seem to tell us what, but we always say two things to them:
First, if you prefer, you can treat these sequences as a free bonus that you choose not to enjoy. They are not something we charge you extra for, we just add them into the set because we think they look cool, and we get a lot of positive feedback from customers.
Second, we provide many different options to download files from our site - entire set zips, entire page zips, custom zips you make yourself, or just single files you can choose to save on their own. If you want to skip these sequences, go right ahead. We ensure the sets look fine without them.

RagingBuddhist's Review from RagingBuddhist:
I learned a valuable lesson here. From now on, I won't rate any site til I've been a member for at least 2-3 weeks and have fully explored it's "goings on". If I could edit my review now, I would.
As it turns out, there are plenty of scenes on the site that are only available split into pieces and, very annoyingly, dozens of scenes for which there are NO thumbnails - and I don't see any place for a pot-luck download on a pay-site.
I also have encountered scenes that aren't available at the highest resolution. The link is there, like they simply use the same template for every video, but the DVD resolution never connects - the page times out.
The files where you can choose your starting and ending scenes? They're somehow inconsistent with my download manager/accelerator, forcing me to download them at single speed, through my browser.
The last "new find" I've got is their server(s). When all other Internet traffic on my PC is smooth and fast, I can only figure they've got a lot of ups ands downs with their servers. None of it seems to be tied to a particular time of day or day of the week, as in it just being a heavy traffic period. Sometimes it's fast, sometimes it's agonizingly slow to connect (with several "Server failed to respond" messages on the download manager)
Yep - I'd drop their score to a 70 if I could. Still a good amount of content - just wish I knew what some of it was before I downloaded it AND roughly how long it'll be before I actually have it on my drives...

"I'm with you on the French maid outfits, although it's not quite as bad as angel wings. If I ever see a woman on this site with angel wings, I'll be absolutely done with it!"
Couldn't be worse than those phony nurses' outfits made of vinyl. :-)
I think I hate all uniforms. School girl outfits (usually worn by mature women) are another pet peeve.

It's Mature Housewives or Furry Housewives (recent example is Erica) if lots of pubes can be seen to be more precise ;-) I've just taken another look at Andie's latest Elegant Ladies update that's more like it! I was happy to see Beata do some jogging. India F with glasses is a stunning 9 to 5 lady.
All in all I'm quite happy and have signed for another 3 months yesterday :-)
But I agree that angel wings are a no-go ... this simply sucks!
Cheers,
Smut

Not really.
Effectively I'm pushing for formal & casual.
I am saying they shouldn't try & ask them to do & wear the same things as a 'teenager.' :0)

Well, the wider you range a site the more likely there is material included which won't appeal.
Given that it is a niche site, I think it is a mistake to try and go mainstream with it.
That goes for the outfits & the nature of the material. Glam wear & matures don't always sit well together either.
Just the way I see it. :0)

It's one of my favourite sites. Great value for money and customer service. I know Porn.com does a special offer to PU/TBP for $9.95 but you may have a lot of that stuff already. Hope you get some money together soon. Good luck.

For this site, I cancel directly at the billing provider, which should be ccbill or epoch. Never had a problem. I wonder what's going on.

from Drooler:
Actually, they've gotten better with the videos recently. Over the past several months (sorry I can't be more specific), they've been doing entire vids and not segmented clips. They also now have an online viewer, which usually works well, though not always. (I had to give up a couple of times and just download to view.)
854x480 are dimensions I remember from a recent clip I got from there (like a couple of weeks ago). The quality is OK. Not bad, but not 3Mbps, either.
They do video updates twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays. Each of those days, a few vids come out in the range of 5 to 8 or so.
They don't have nearly as much hardcore as they do softcore masturbation, but they've got like over 450 video update days, which is quite a lot. And you can search for only hardcore vids, if that's what you're interested in.

from exotics4me:
Hey RB,
I was on there back in the summer and have some of their videos from then.
One is of Tanner Mayes, it is split into four separate parts, each part labeled like this tan035MAR_171305001, the second part is the same up to the underscore and changes to _171306001, third part is _171307001, fourth _17130801. The total scene is around 40 minutes long, but the downloaded parts are only 10 minutes each. There aren't any splash screens though. Each part fades out and the following part picks up right where it left off.
They do have some good videos, especially some of the older videos of now well-known models early in their careers, but the older ones are split into as many as 10 parts. About the only way to watch those is to line them up in a row in a media player playlist or else each part in those older ones are only 2-3 minutes each.
The technical quality varies a bit, but of the newer videos I have they are 640 high end with 1,900 bitrate. Occasionally you'll find a HD video that they've licensed from some other site.
From my experience, all of the ATK sites are much better for pictures than videos.

Thanks, RB - just joined once more - og yes, still a massive content. A little sad about the older material/videos - I can live with less quality, but when they still have those...what du you call it -"text-lines" on every clip - it's a nuisance - and you can't join them....I like that some of the old sites edit some of their older stuff, like Nubiles for one.
But still - agree with your score - generally a great site.
And BTW: I'm - alas - a little laid back concerning pornuser - not of ill will, but my age is coming up on me - and my English is getting more and more "rusty".....
I stil try to get in here once in a while - Take care all of you old timers here - it's great to see so many still active...

Great review - Thanks RagingBuddhist ("long time, no see", BTW)
Was a member here a couple of times - long ago.
I Like the massive content of somewhat older material.
Been scanning the preview - and for quiet a few models from way back: Their part shows some thumbs for both video and photos - but then again, is can state (in spite of thumbs and choise of wmv or mgp) - this model have NO videos ....
Does that go for the site - as a member, too???

I am so sorry. You caught me on vacation so I have not looked at the site as much as I usually do. Most of you know I am new to ATK so I had to ask what you meant by splitting the clips. I was told that we use to do that but that is no longer the case. I could not believe they use to do that. That must have been terrible having to wait days to see a girl cum. I hope it makes you happy to know that we no longer split clips. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.

She is a very helpful & attentive lady, I have found. )
Whilst not being a Vid Person, I can appreciate your arguments.
That said ATKNH is still primarily a photoset orientated site, thankfully for me, as they do tend to be very much in the minority these days.

I used to be a long time reoccurring member of ATK Galleria, but the reduced video quality & split scenes definitely I have not subscribed to them in almost two full years now. That's sad they haven't changed.
I have the software tools to join the files without re-encoding the video, but I fully agree, shouldn't have to do that anymore...

THINK the 'holding back clips' is still on - not a member of any ATK at the moment - but in late summer/fall it was so - have not heard about any improvements here....So it would be great with an update from a webmaster - who by the way was quite fast responding to an earlier input here on he subject....

ATK - all sites - has some good material. But never understood those annoying deals where video-parts are not only spilt up, but 2. 3. or more parts are delayed days or weeks. This is 2009 or almost 10 - so let's get those videos in full/whole files.
Like RB - I'll join again, if they fix that

Yeah, you think they'd do something... Like at the least maybe give me complementary access to the sister sites? Nothing. It is renewing users like me that keep them fat and happy.
