Quality of clips:
I am not an expert like Toadsith, so I can't give the technical aspects of the DVD clips, or the expert's appraisal of the clips. I am giving an average viewer's response to video clips (who has some, but not extensive experience in viewing porn clips).
If you've been a member of justteensite, justteenmovie, or femjoy, you will have seen extremely clear, clean videos. I am talking about visually. They have the highest quality in terms of clarity and detail, almost like high-quality photos.
The video clips at SilverstoneDVD and DevilsFilm are not as high quality visually as the videos at Femjoy, justteensite, and justteenmovie. I remember reading one post at PU that explains that DVD clips are not visually as high quality as the video clips at some special sites because of economic reasons (it's cheaper to shoot lower quality clips because of the video camera cost and maybe other reasons).
The high def video is listed as 1280x720 at justteensite and justteenmovie.
The femjoy, justteensite and justteenmovie clips I saw were softcore, which is apart from the quality of the clip.But the clips were made for those sites, not as part of a DVD. SilverstoneDVD and Devilsfilm are hardcore clips, made for a DVD market. So that explains why the visual clarity is not as high.
I saw a large number of clips at SilverstoneDVD and Devilsfilm, and thought they were good or decent quality, not high quality, but good. I did not see any clips that were visually mediocre as in milky or blurred. These are professionally shot clips, no jerky camera shots, fairly good editing (editing could be improved, the entire clip could be improved, but what do you expect from a porno DVD?).
These are straight sex clips, with almost no story.
Production values are not great, but the colors are good: for the skin colors of the models, for the colors of the settings.
I did not examine all the clips. For me to look at a clip,
1. I look at the model in the clip: Is the attractive? If not, skip the clip.
2. If the model is attractive, I watch the streaming clip, to see if the sex is stupid, is the moaning and groaning too annoyingly fake, the background music too loud or jangly.
3. I download and save the clips I like. To see them again later.
All the clips I saw had good, not mediocre, viewing-quality.
There are at least some models at SilverstoneDVD and Devilsfilm that are really attractive. The clips would be improved if they had some story, some teasing, sex that was less mechanical, better acting by the model, less fake moaning and groaning by the female and male models (but the moaning and groaning is less than in many porn clips), better background music, softer background music, and the entire clip could be improved. But at least you get some clips of attractive girls that are watchable.
Visually, these are good-quality hardcore clips.
Honestly I believe that nubiles and teendreams were a bit better. Siminscans is good though. The girls on nubiles are much better looking though, and the videos are a higher quality. A good handful of Fugly chicks on simonscans. Teendreams from a years ago still beats simonscans on quality.
Simonscans does have quantity of photos though. About 70 GB worth. But only about 330 videos as of early march.
I think the granny panties serve to emphasize her thin form, which I'm sure we both agree is lovely to behold. As long as adult diapers aren't the next "big" thing, I'm OK with it.
Have you seen her at 66 Beauty as "Susi"? ("Susi" link I made takes your right to her preview page on that site.) She gets out of a few different outfits that cling more tightly. I wish I could comment on the videos, but I'm not a member now and never got any. (I know, Ze Strict Pics Addict Dwoolah I am.)
I do think I know a thing or two about human nature by this stage in my life, which is why I see the dynamics being different whether the user first reports problems to the webmaster or describes them in a review here.
I think that generally you'll get a prompter and more serious response when you're a reviewer vs. when you're just another user contacting the site privately. Whether Alex would have been any less serious about it had I contacted the site instead is something I just couldn't have known for sure.
In fact, it hadn't even dawned on me that Alex might have been the webmaster since I'd also forgotten that Skokoff is of the same company as is AvErotica and Eronata. Anyway, I think he must be quite an asset for them as their front man since his English is so good, for one thing. My guess is that he's bilingual in English and Russian.
What I foresee happening here is another ultimate win-win for all concerned. Even with the problems, Skokoff has more visibility thanks to the review. That alone might generate more revenue. And with the improvements to come and the higher score and clearing out of the con's, it will do even better. And, of course, it will be better for the users who subscribe.
It's always a judgment call, but I think I've done my part and did it in the right way. And you did yours. It simply isn't our job to tell the sites to correct problems that sites obviously shouldn't have in the first place. That's like having to tell someone to turn on their windshield wipers in a car in pouring rain. So if we do tell them, at our option, that's gravy.
I did decide to try helping Alex to troubleshoot things because he was so earnest about it. He certainly has won me over compared to some of the other webmasters I've dealt with or seen others deal with here.
I don't ask to consult us before the review. I just don't understand - if you found a problem in the product you bought - usually you were contacting support first and then share your opinion about the product and it's support.
In this case I wouldn't even know about this review and mistakes that were found.
The way the reviewing works on pornusers.com is not the best for site owners. I would ask for any review of the new site not earlier than 3-6 months after the launch and not on the second day after or even before the official launch. But we can live with it, we have to, and you're right, this is the place for surfers/consumers to share opinions. That is why I'm here also, cause I do care about the content and members' satisfaction.
I get the same "Server not found" error message when trying to load the site page. Temporary problem, or site gone out of business? Probably better to wait before joining until you have a better idea of what is happening at the site (except, how you could join when the site does not have a working page might be a problem).
The members at PU are looking out for you, Denner.
hm, i thoght all the sites were connected in to that network.
but the price of the network is 14,95 and e.g. for Honey School 9,95. that is strange. can you remeber if you was able in past times to get to the site Honey School. if yes it would be vice versa too. that would be funny. saved 5 $.
I'm still debating whether to try it. I'm trying to cover a few sites that I have never tried before and at least, I know Susana is on this one! I don't want to get too risky in my search for sites I haven't joined.
Denner, I explained this in a comment before, but if you do choose to join this network, it can make a difference which site you join through.
For the last month or more, the network has been offering bonus sites when you join any one of their sites.
For most sites, the 1 month membership is $29.95.
To join the 18 stream site the 1 month membership is $34.95.
With all the the different memberships, you can get a different number of bonus sites. By different memberships, I mean which specific site you choose to join through.
If you choose the 18 stream, you pay $34.95 and get 2 bonus sites.
If you choose the SpunkyBee, you pay $29.95 and get 9 bonus sites.
One of the bonus sites included when you join through SpunkyBee is the 18 Stream site.
If you join through other sites in the network, you pay $29.95 and get less than 9 bonus sites (maybe 6 or less bonus sites).
So join through the SpunkyBee site, you pay $29.95, and get full access to 10 of the network sites.
That is the based on what I see being offered currently. The network can change their offerings in the future. But that is what has been offered for the past month and more.
The network said it would end the special bonuses over a month ago, then they extended the offer by 2 weeks, then they extended the offer by 2 more weeks. That I know of. They might have been extending it in the past that I don't know about.
Thanks for the encouraging words, Denner. The first few times I saw squirting, I thought it was disgusting. But since then, my reaction is more mild: it's out there for people who want to enjoy it. :)
Yeah it's a shame. I checked out Fuckedhard18, hot models, but i wasn't keen on the action and the usage of those stupid cushion thingies. I don't believe that it's andy in any of those scenes. I know he did some scenes which appeared on teensfirstcream, and a couple of scenes are on the tour of bigdickacademy, otherwise though, not sure what happened to that guy.
FuckedHard18 is one of the best hardcore sites I've ever seen. The difference between it and the usual hc sites is that the girls are REALLY INTO the sex. And there's lots of backdoor stuff -- my favorite kind. Maybe it helps that they get pawed all over first with a nice massage. Puts them in the mood. Most of the girls are beautiful, too.
Thanks for the tip on myxxpass having a three-day membership special. Might take it.
Twistys is a big site, so not catching things is pretty normal. I do like Stunners quality, and there are some things I've found there that I haven't seen elsewhere ... yet. I took their six-month subscription offer.
I doubt that Stunners, Babelicious, or SexyBabes produce any of their own content. I don't know if they make a general statement about having exclusive content or not, but we know how that goes. You might have found those vids first at Stunners, but maybe they'll eventually show up elsewhere.
I actually thought I'd found exclusive stuff at sites like Watch4Beauty and EuroBabesFever. After a few months, W4B stuff started showing up at sites like Babelicious or one of their other, included sites. And EBF content eventually appeared at sites like Twistys and EuroPornStars.
You know, I've seen seen-elsewhere at Twistys that they've called exclusive, too. Maybe they bought the ownership rights? Who knows?
I doubt that any of the stuff at Stunners is exclusive, but they do the non-exclusive well. The quality (of photosets, this being a "Drooler comment") is really good.
At this point, I'd say that Stunners is pretty close to Babelicious & Sexy Babes (two sites that come together). B and SB do have larger pics and allow viewing of a whole gallery on one page; Stunners doesn't. But Stunners has at least two updates per day, sometimes even more; B and SB range from 1 to 2 total, with one of the sites often taking "the day off" at least for pics.
Since August 2009 the videos have been in multiple formats - wmv, divx, ipod and flash - the bitrate has been upped substantially too.
The photos have also been in 2 resolutions since that date - 1280x853 and 2000x1333 and both are available in complete zips.
Also the price was lowered back to it's original price.
Nice review. Would really love to give SA a chance but right now just can't see doing it with images at that resolution for that price. There are a few models I want from there, so I'm sure I'll join sooner or later. Sucks, as I think I would have really liked the site.
If you join one site, you automatically get 9 more sites included.
Then, if your membership goes into a second month, you get 1 additional site.
If your membership goes into a third month, you get 1 more additional site.
If your membership goes beyond 3 months, you get 2 more sites.
But: almost all of the site are small. And most stopped updating years ago.
So there are much better ways to spend your money, than on a membership to this network. You will find much more content, better quality content, easier site navigation, and more frequent updates at other sites and networks.
Maybe years ago this site/network might have justified a membership, while they were still updating, and they might have improved the quality as time went on.
But this is just one of many sites/networks that has little value compared to what other sites offer today.
