from messmer:
Very well done review, Squirrel. It gives an accurate picture of the site, and customer service / communication is so good that I almost hate to make adverse comments about this site.
I am glad you mentioned the recent lack of niche (fetish) updates and I'm not talking Latex. :-) This is something that has really bothered me (as a long term subscriber) since this was the main difference between American Vice and all those others not so long ago.
I think that economic circumstances are starting to make their effects felt and AV are starting to play it safe by offering updates that would appeal to most porn lovers rather than just a few. Which would be understandable. Trouble is, with only one update a day, I suspect that the average Joe would rather pick a place like Video Box with five updates daily, even though everything about American Vice spells quality.

Talent is totally subjective but I would disagree on the video quality. VideoBox is better.
Oh, and it's $17.95 for one month if you buy just one month -- which is a great price but it's not $8.33.

Agree with you, squirrel, but in my fantasy world I could check-out videos with a little ass slapping without digging through other fetish content I don't care for (to each his own, but digging through latex, foot fetish, pissing, etc., isn't my cup of tea, LOL).

Thanks, squirrel. I definately am joining. My only regret is that there's no specific "spanking" as a category, although I've seen an ass or two slapped in some of their videos. If this had spanking, I think I'd need no other sites.

Download speeds are a complicated issue. You could be 3000 miles apart and get a better download rate than 2 servers 500 miles apart. It depends on the networking and switching in between.
We actually built our own proprietary download system that does a bunch of cool threading.
Regarding the recognition...we obviously love it. Our following is small but devoted. But porn enthusiasts seem to really dig and appreciate what we do, even if it goes right over the heads of most review sites. The praise of guys like you, Clyde, Messmer and Toad really means so much.
I will tell you this much. The review sites think you guys are stupid and will watch/download whatever is mindlessly put in front of you. They see zero value in our commentary. I refuse to accept this and promise to keep up our high standards, as well as topnotch customer service.
Rock on,
Reg

Yep, I agree. I think that once people try the site it WILL take off. Right now VideoBox has the edge by sheer volume but when it comes to variety American Vice has them beat already. And thanks!

Something wrong with their pricing structure there then.
You would have thought it would be relatively simple job to keep a handle on their pricing.

I assume that they get more people to join through the 1 pass for all site and therefore make more money than a more ingenious member like yourself does some research and discovers these little gems. I often check to see if one of the sites in a network is somehow less expensive than the main network sign up one or all the other. I have found a couple over the years and these are always great.

Exactly, bro....
That's one of the main reasons here (in my book): Good common support and ditto warnings, so none of us - hopefully - do not waste too much money. I've always considered PU as my main place of mutual help/giving help in joining/membership of different sites. And by all means a mutual help when problems come up.......and Squirrel, you got that sence too....(great reply, thanks)

I hope not because if you join through no rest for the ass then you also get this one. I'm pretty sure you will get the entire network and I hope you don't regret it.
I know I'm not joining because Girgio's past business practices pissed me off so now I refuse to give him my money.

from Freax Media Gro:
The review/sitefact on the bestporn is not update yet, it will be in few days I guess.
Pat, Like you see on EBI there is a spacial offer for old members who who feel cheated with a special price. You did not mention about.
In February 2011 I had the police in my studio in St. Peterburg and I had to move in a different place. It happened again in June 2011, so I decided to move in another country.
In November 2011 I started again to update the websites and I developed also analeducator like *external website* to the network. Updates were regular until Jan/Feb 2013 (on network and also on AE, I dont remember exactly the last update), then I got hacked and I lost the main database who manage all the contents/updates/websites.
For a while I thought to leave the biz, but then I started from scratch.
Now the websites are back online with network access.
Few notes/tips for users.
*calendar of updates*
in the bottom of the page of analeducator (and also of the other websites), there is a link to the whole network calendar of updates. If you check now (today is April 10), I can tell u that in this month there are 4 (may be 5, I should check) scenes never published before, I mean new contents.
Pay attention to the next 2-3 weeks only, I dont schedule anymore very forward updates.
*re-found*
any user can every time ask to payment processor/website owner for a re-found if there are no updates.
*year long memberships*
the nature of the long membership is not only to get new updates and save money, but its also a solution for the user to access the contents for one year. In 2013 I had about 500 scenes online, enough for one year I guess. If you could check the download/streaming stats you will see that most of the users who purchase a long membership doesnt download any video, but simply use the streaming. Who use to download all the contents is who purchase a 30 days membership and then cancel it. Then the same user purchase another membership after 3-6 months and download all the updates.
Few more considerations
1 - many big networks re-load old contents in home page advertising them like *last updates*. The think is that no one usual understand it because they have so much contents online that if you are not in the business (and may be in contact with them, because I use to shoot for them) you will never understand it. I mean really big fishes, who advertise many updates/month, but the true is that 1/2 are old scenes re-loaded with a different release date.
2 - TBP will updates review of the sites already online and I will release more websites in the next weeks. To add them in TBP will take time according to my marketing strategy, so I suggest you to go bookmark the calendar of updates and take a look about the new scenes coming soon in the whole network.
3 - in the week across March and April there are no updates because I had a personal issue (not really a issue, I have just become a father)
I hope this clear a bit the situation.
Have fun

from pat362:
I think Duke and probably anybody else associated with TBP and PU can be forgiven for any lack of current news on this site and any other associated with the No Rest For... network. Here is what I can tell you. Giorgio Grandi is the man responsible for all the content on the network and he posted on the EBI forum on April 5 that he would again start to update the network with new stuff and this site is now part of the network.
On the surface this sounds like great news and maybe it will but let say a few words about Giorgio for one minute. This is the man who in 2011 stopped updating his sites but never told anyone that he was doing that and certainly never stopped offering year long memberships to his customers. He sort of came back in 2012 with some new stuff and some sweet words that he was back but that was BS since the sites stopped updating only a couple of months after the announcement. Now he's saying that he's back and will update the network with some new content (were did I read that story before?) and if you are a newbie and visit his sites then you would believe that it's true because there is some content dated 2014. The first problem is that the dated is a complete lie since the content is a lot older and worse is stuff he already had released in years past but probably removed for just this kind of occasion.
It's your money and you can do what you like with it but don't come crying to me if you feel cheated and please do not buy a membership longer than one month because you will definitely regret it for at least 365 days.

Good point. This isn't a 100% condom site, but many of the scenes do have them.

Hey Squirrel, good to see you back. Thought that you were run over or that you were keeping a low profile in hopes of getting named the new coach for the Brits National Football team. Great review as always.

Thanks, Squirrel. Appreciate the time out you took to pass on this thoughtful message. Happy I could be of some help.
I notice just recently your forum activity had dropped off some.
We miss your stuff when you ain't around, champ. I hope all is well, and, as always, wishing you the best.

Thank you 'Squirrel. ATK are at the top of my list and I therefore keep rejoining them. I do try to include enough information to enable others to make their own decision so I am glad it is what you were looking for.
OK, you like models you have not seen before. Why not look through their model directory, unless that would spoil the surprise for you, see if there are any you especially like the look of and I can see what hardcore they have, if any.
ATK sites are generally good for models you have not seen before because they do not have the standard porn stars that you find on, say, Twistys. Many of the models are true amateurs.

Thank you 'Squirrel.
Total - 6800 photo sets, 3050 videos, of which:
bg - 592 photo sets, 671 videos;
gg - 265 photo sets, 520 videos;
solo toys - 518 photo sets, 567 videos;
solo masturbation - 79 photo sets, 472 videos;
The remainder, making up to the total, are all the other kinds of solo softcore. BTW, I regard toys and masturbation as softcore too, though I have itemised those above in case you are interested.
I am a member at the moment so if you want me to search for any type of hardcore you are interested in, or for particular models, I will happily download some video or photos and attempt to evaluate it.
