OK, just to clarify, the refund was for a double billing. I paid Rocketgate for the annual subscription and then a few days later, Epoch charged me for the old monthly subscription because they did not get notice of the change. One moral to the story is that if you are going to upgrade, don't wait until a day or two before your original subscription would normally rebill. Give it a little more time than that....maybe a week in advance. You aren't losing anything because the upgrade only kicks in when the old subscription ends.

Sometimes, if a model asks for her sets to be removed, the site will agree. Even though in many cases the site owns the rights to the photosets. I believe they do it out of respect for the model's wishes.
Though it does vary from situation to situation, that is the most frequent reason that content is removed. We try avoid it, yet at times, it is the right thing to do. :)

The deals that I'm seeing at MetArt now for their network sites are $19/month or $90/year. Too bad about the $10/month deals being gone.
I wonder when Watch 4 Beauty will be linked up to the Met Art network?

Maybe it was a momentary glitch, but I now see a link for the discounted prices ($10/month) to join other sites in the MetArt network, if you are already a member of one of the sites in the network.

This is quite an interesting development. I find Met Art largely unerotic; this isn't specifically down to the lack of explicitness but more a lack of any lewd intent from either the models or the photographers.
Maybe they have taken a tip from their stablemate TLE - who manage to be significantly more erotic even with some of the same models and photographers. Anyway, worth keeping an eye on!

The video was very good, and certainly better than their usual offerings. But one video doesn't make a trend. Only time will tell if it was a one-off or the start of something good.

I haven't seen that one yet, but the most recent ones I have seen have been the usual. I'm pretty sure there is a no masturbation rule for the videos at Met-Art (that material is over at Sex-Art). But what they have seems uninspired, and even at times (gasp), boring. A strange thing to say when you consider how beautiful and hot their models are. I would like to see them focus on slow sexy striptease videos that end with some explicit views (whatever the model is comfortable with). No site out there does that well, and if Met-Art could, it would just solidify their place as the planet's best softcore porn site!

I wanted to first thank you for your comments not only about MetArt, but about other sites within our network. We truly value the feedback of our members. It helps us grow and maintain our standards of excellence in erotic artistry.
You are absolutely correct. The site does not update 6 times a day every day. Typically, you will find the large updates at the beginning of the month, with 4 daily being the standard. I looked, and there were indeed only 3 updates on January 13, 2013. I don't know what caused that. Most likely, a set was accidentally removed.
I do apologize for that, and would be glad to arrange a free 30 day membership to Erotic Beauty for you for, not only the inconvenience, but for your input. Please contact me with your current username, and I'll take care of that. :) selena@metart.com
I also agree with your last point. We do an incredible amount of updates. Between pictures and videos, a rough count shows 132 updates in January 2013 for MetArt members. That's a lot of beauty to enjoy!
Thank you for your continued support of the MetArt Network. :)

Great review lk2fireone! I really do wish they would completely rethink their approach to the videos. You are correct in saying that its a wasted opportunity. Maybe they could try to fill the slow sexy striptease niche--something that's almost entirely absent out there in porn land. I've been a satisfied $99 a year member for going on 3 years. At 8 bucks and change for a month it almost feels like stealing.

You know lk2fireone, when I read your post, i was thinking to myself "I wish they had setting to make all the gallery photos show up on one page, like Femjoy does". So I go over to the site, log in, and start clicking around, and damnit, they do. I never knew all this time. It's so much easier to browse through the gallery when you don't have to click through 7 or 8 pages of thumbnails. Thanks dude.

I have to say, I certainly prefer the age to be quoted as at the time of the photoshoot.
As it is a snapshot of the moment, I feel that it is only appropriate.
Surely you can roughly work out the models age from the time it was first published?

I've often wondered do we really want to know the model's current age. I'm quite happy just knowing her age at the time of the photo shoot or when she was added to the site. Imagine if Met-Art is still going in 20 years time, will they be telling us the current age of those models when they are in their 40s, kind of ruins the fantasy a bit.

from Claypaws:
I think that sites would put the administrative HQ wherever gives them the best advantages for legal and financial matters. For example, if they put the HQ in Europe, they would be legally obliged to add VAT to the subscriptions of European residents and pay the tax over to the EU. I know this fuels the regional pricing debate but there really is a legal obligation on Euro-based sites to do that. Locating in USA gets around that issue.
Also, being based in the US allows them to keep records in accordance with 2257 regulations. This enables them not only to prove the legal age of the models, which saves them from all sorts of problems worldwide, but also allows them to insist on photographers giving them the proof required by 2257.
Those are the two main reasons I can think of.
I always thought Amsterdam was a strange choice of move for AW but perhaps there are different legal advantages for them there.
BTW, this looks to me more like a forum topic than a comment on MET-ART. It would not surprise me if Khan moves it to the forum :-)

I doubt there's much of a benefit to being headquartered in Southern California, but when it comes to them as a corporation, I don't really see much of a benefit to them being headquartered in Europe, either. This site seems like the people that run the site from a business perspective are completely removed from the people that run the site from a content perspective, so I don't think having the headquarters closer to where they get their talent from would make any difference.

from oldfizzywig:
Met-Art is on my list of sites to try someday. I just can't try all sites at one time. So many good sites, so little time to really enjoy.
Anyway, my thoughts go to your suggestions for a photo naming convention. I fully agree that the model's name should be the first part of the photo name! Then some intermediate data, your suggestion of the date is excellent, or possibly a short description of the set, and finally ending with a photo number within the set.
Now if only more sites would use a longer name, or a convention like this, rather than renumbering all photos to 001, 002, 003, etc within each downloaded, system generated zip file.

I think it is difficult for them to include such sets because of their massive update schedule. I don't want to beef here. MetArt is still the best site concerning nude photography. Femjoy is also sort of cool. Was a member there for some months. They are rather on the full naked side but I also like to see some lingerie so MetArt is still my favorite.

MetArt is the kind of site you can easily get lost archiving ad infinitum and forget to enjoy the pictures because their content is so huge. Do they make efforts to bring back some more artsy shoots like from Ronin back in the days? I would love to see some more of this kind.

Here, here. MetArt Rules! And I agree that their paragraph-long file names should have, as the topic, the name of the model, not the site.

Those are excellent examples of models turned actor but I think that they are more the exception than the rule. It's been a while since I last saw King Kong but unless my memory is faulty then Jessica was rather good. At least as good as any actress could be in such a role. I didn't see too much of Peter Jackson's clusterfuck version of King Kong but Naomi Watts who's a very good actress didn't fair much better than Jessica did. I think Jessica's performance was a mixture of this being her first film, the writting and suggestions from the director in reagrds as to how she should handle the part. I got the distinct impression that he wanted her to be a little on the ditsy side. One thing is certain and that no matter what Jessica's backgroud was prior to doing acting. She certainly became one of the best American Actresses of her time. She is the perfect example
