METART IS ONE OF THE FINEST SOFTCORE SITES ON THE NET.
BUT LATELY, THEY HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SERVER PROBLEMS.
THIS IS UNUSUAL. BECAUSE I'VE BEEN A MEMBER OF METART (AND MANY OF ITS SISTER SITES) FOR YEARS, AND METART ALWAYS GAVE GREAT SERVICE WITH ALMOST NO PROBLEMS.
THE CURRENT SERVER PROBLEM IS THAT THE THUMBNAILS OF A PHOTO SET DO NOT LOAD ON YOUR COMPUTER MONITOR.
YOU CAN GET AROUND THIS BY DOWNLOADING THE SET, AND USING A COMPUTER PROGRAM TO PLAY A SLIDESHOW, OR TO EXAMINE INDIVIDUAL PHOTOS.
SO IT'S NO BIG DEAL.
EXCEPT I AM WONDERING WHY THE METART NETWORK HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS LATELY.
IS IT SOMETHING WE SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT?
OR MERELY A TEMPORARY GLITCH, THAT WILL SOON PASS--OR HAPPEN ONLY ONCE IN A WHILE?
AGAIN, I THINK METART IS A GREAT SITE: WONDERFUL SOFTCORE CONTENT, STRONG AND EASILY USED SITE STRUCTURE, FANTASTIC CUSTOMER SUPPORT.
BUT IT'S DISAPPOINTING THE SITE/NETWORK IS HAVING MINOR PROBLEMS.
I TRY TO LOG IN TO THE METART SITE, AND I GET THE ERROR MESSAGE:
503 Service Unavailable
No server is available to handle this request.
I'VE TRIED OFF AND ON FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS.
IS THIS SOME CYBER ATTACK, SITE UPDATING, OR WHAT?
WHATEVER THE REASON, IT'S FRUSTRATING. AND SURPRISING, BECAUSE METART USUALLY DOES NOT HAVE PROBLEMS.
Has anyone ever heard of ECHST? I just signed up for an additional site in the network and was charged to join the site and ALSO charged to join Met-Art again, even though I'm already an annual member. Unlike EPOCH and CCBill, I did not get any conformation emails from ECHST. The only way I knew about it was the credit card charge. I sent a note to Met Art Support, who is usually very good about this type of thing, but have not yet heard back.
I am an annual member on Met-Art and often join one or two of the other sites in their network or among their affiliates for a month or two. I've noticed that the prices will vary (i.e. $29 in most places, $19 in others) depending on where you look inside or outside of the network. Typically, though, The Porn Users site will have the best pricing other than the occasional $1-$5 teaser price for members of one site who never sign up for other sites. Personally, I think they should offer members long-term discounts to the other sites, especially the ones that don't update as often, but it is hard to blame them for not offering deep discounts given the perfection often found on their sites.
MetArtX features models in masturbation photosets and videos. So it's a little harder than MetArt. But many of the models should be familiar from the MetArt site.
Since it's a new site, the membership fees should be smaller than a membership to one of MetArt's older sites which have larger content. But apparently they are charging the same - or more - than what you would pay with a PU discount for the older sites.
So...after many years of having what I have always considered the highest standard for websites, literally a model for others to emulate, Met-Art is changing their website layout. When they first started floating a "beta" version of the new layout, I thought it was pretty awful and gave them my reasons why. Now, it looks like the old layout is just about to go away completely and we will be stuck with a site where the "live girls" portion, now taking up almost half of the main page, preventing me from clearly seeing what sets that I've already paid for are new. In my book, this greedy move falls just short of creating pop-ups or redirecting people at login to other offers. And the really sad thing is all they needed to do is adjust screen width slightly or establish a separate layout for mobile (which is probably part of why they made the change). I still click on the "classic site" option every chance I get because you get four models across and can see what is new, and once you get to a set you can actually see what you need to click to download a zip file rather than having to find some really tiny, cryptic camera icon. Clearly, I'm pretty annoyed about this and think they've taken a giant step backwards.
So....for those of you who subscribe to Met-Art, what do you think of the new web layout?
I could go ahead and write a review that goes over what everyone else says about the site... tons of content, lots of pretty women, etc. But the one thing that stands out as I go through the hundreds and hundreds of models is how many pictures look blurry, upscaled (as in pixelated) or otherwise distorted. I'm only interested in downloading the highest resolution pictures and it really amazes me just how many aren't worth saving. I tried to nail it down to particular photographers or shoot settings where the problem shows up but there's nothing constant to nail it down - it's just throughout the site. Touting how many megapixels your pictures are doesn't mean much to me unless they're clean and clear.
Don't get me wrong - there's still a lot of great content here. But, at the same time, it'll be a long time before I re-up here, if ever.
I'd really appreciate feedback from existing members of MetArt.
I've often been tempted to join the site, but one thing puts me off: all the sample images I see from the site are what I'd call "end of photoshoot" shots; the model is either completely nude or close to completely nude, showing everything.
To me a whole gallery of nude shots isn't that appealing: far better is a gallery where the model starts off fully-clothed (or at least partially-clothed, and then progresses to nudity and the kind of poses I see in the Metart samples.
Would I find this kind of gallery at Metart? It's hard to tell because all the available samples are the nude shots: but I'm hoping this might just be because the nude shots have more "pulling power" to get people to join. It's just my thing that when I look at one of those shots, my first thought is "I wish I could see you fully-clothed, and THEN see this shot...".
Thanks in advance for any comments about whether MetArt would provide this, or whether I should look elsewhere!
Met-Art posted a new video, 2015-03-22, with model Adiba, titled: Viola Bailey.
What's new is this is a solo masturbation video.
A few years ago, Met-Art was strictly soft softcore. A girl would almost never touch herself. Or if there was a two-girl gallery, the two girls might kiss on the lips, but that was usually as far as the overt sex would show.
I'm thinking that Met-Art might show a boy and girl together, in the next few years.
Occasionally, Met-Art deletes the photo sets of some models.
I assume this is probably done at the request of the model.
But I found that one photo set of the model named Anita C at Met-Art has been deleted.
The photo set is named "Chariye", originally posted 2014-04-26.
Anita C has plenty of other sets at Met-Art (and Femjoy and MPL Studios and many other sites), so I don't know what the reason would be for deleting this particular set.
Internet Download Manager not friendly. The download links are available for about 30 minutes, so it is not possible to queue up a bunch of download links.
MetArt adding a tinge of more eroticism to some photosets.
MetArt is still softcore. But yesterday, 2013-10-19, they added a softcore lesbian photoset of two models. The models actually were shown touching and kissing each other's breasts, as well as kissing each other on the lips. A few years back the models might have looked at each other with their eyes, but fondling was strictly forbidden.
I guess Met-Art is trying to boldly step into the new world of eroticism, where being nude is not enough to satisfy its audience.
I firmly believe that a web site is only as good as its customer service. Once again this week, Met Art demonstrated that it is an AWESOME web site by providing some of the best online customer service I have ever experienced.
I upgraded my subscription from monthly to annual. My monthly subscription was through Epoch and my annual subscription is now through their new biller(Rocketgate?). What I did not realize is that Epoch had already queued me up for my monthly charge, which I saw on my account a few days after upgrading. I sent an email to Met Art support telling them about the issue. Within a few minutes, here is first class the response I got:
So sorry for your trouble; however rest assured you are in great hands and our support team is looking into this issue ASAP.
we will make you happy.
all the best,
Amnon
===========================
OK, I'm not easily impressed, but here is a guy who truly understands how important it is to be responsive to customers.
So many other websites (adult or otherwise) really don't care when there are problems and some (often adult) are downright obnoxious (Go look at the chain of my MPL Studios comments. I complained about an easily resolvable problem and MPL Studios blamed ME and permanently kicked me off of their site.)
Oh, and yes, I was promptly refunded the Epoch overcharge and received a follow up email from Met Art customer service to ensure everything was OK.
Kudos to Met Art for not only having a terrific web site, but for ensuring that, in the words of the CEO, "I am happy". Yes, I am happy. Thank you very much!
I was wondering why some models and their sets have been deleted. Have returned to the site after a hiatus and went looking for some of my favorite models; only do discover some of them, and all their seta, missing. Berengere A, Alessandra D, and Roarie A come to mind immediately.
Does anyone know why Met Art deletes some of their models and all of their sets?
Just got a mail: Get free access to any of the sites...
The entire - and newer Met Art Network - not for me: One day! - and then a month at normal price.....you got to be fast to cancel, LOL.
They got this new site: Stunning 18 - including (apparently) new sets of the cute Sasha Rose - but: she's back to beeing a brunette.......and: it had to come: New tits....
It used to be that if you were a member of one of the MetArt sites, you could join any of the other sites for $10/month.
Then, about a month ago, I posted a comment that maybe that discount was disappearing. Because sometimes I could find the link to the discount page, and sometimes it seemed to disappear.
This last week I couldn't find that link for $10 memberships, but found a new link to a $20/month membership to join any other site in the MetArt network.
Now it appear that link is gone, and the only links I can find are offers to join any of the other MetArt sites for $30/month, which is the regular price. No discount.
However, if you search around, and are lucky, you can find some links to join one of the MetArt sites for a discounted price, of $20 or less.
OK. I found a link to subscribe to one of the sites for $9.99/month (SexArt). And during the sign-up process, they offered me choices to sign up to any of the other sites in the MetArt network for $10/month. I signed up to Rylsky Art and The Life Erotic. It's only money. Too many sites, not enough time to go through them. But the price is cheap enough, and I'm tired of hunting for discount links to join these sites.
PS: I know many of the models at Rylsky Art are also at MetArt, but I'm falling in love again. Many of these models are incredibly gorgeous.
Rylsky Art is softcore, like Met Art. If you don't like softcore, these sites are not for you. But Met Art is probably one of the finest, certainly the largest, softcore teen glamor site on the internet.
About a month ago I posted a comment that the upgrade plan for members of the Metart network might be changing.
I wrote that, as a member of one of the Metart network sites, you could sometimes find the page that offered a discounted $10 per month membership to any of the other sites in the network, and other times, that offer seemed to be unavailable.
Now I see that there is a different offer being made at the site, where a current Metart member (a member of the Metart network) can now join one of the other sites for $19 monthly.
So I assume that the $10 monthly plan is no longer being offered. Or if it is still being offered, I can't find it.
I wish that Metart would post a note explaining that these offers will be changing, before they change them.
Finally have access again. I know I will never get an explanation from Comcast or Met-Art. Somewhat baffled, I am assuming at this point Comcast needed to confirm my identity along with my PC and account etc. For what purpose? I can only guess it wasn't for anything good. Makes you feel like law enforcement will raid my house or something over porn usage. Either way, I felt you all should know that ISP's are not your friends.
Has anyone had issues not getting access to their sites? Have not been able to access since 06-13-13. If my account was blocked you'd think I could at least access the site for support. Any help is appreciated
Did MetArt drop their discount plan for joining other sites in the network?
It used to be, if you were a member of any of their sites, you could join any other site in the network for a discounted price of $10.00 per month.
But I don't see that being offered any more.
Edit: I noted in a comment that when I entered MetArt later, I found the link for the reduced subscription prices.
However, I now enter the MetArt site, and the link for the reduced subscription prices is now missing again.
I don't know if this is because my PC has stored a copy of the site page without the link, or whether the MetArt site server is being updated, or what the problem is.
But I think the discount link is really valuable, and I would hate to see it go.
I just noticed this morning that Met-Art has added yet another new site to their network. This one is called Stunning 18, and features the work of photographer Antonio Clemens. I checked out the tour, and it's pretty small to start off (28 models), but it will most likely update once a day. It's also spicier than Met-Art with finger spreading and a couple of dildos on some of the cover shots. I like Clemens' work, so I will add this one to my list of sites to join. So much porn, so little time!!!
Met Art just announced yesterday that Watch4Beauty will become part of the Met Art network soon (no date given). They now over 10 sites in their network. It's a great deal for Met-art members cause you can add any of the sites in the network for $10 a month.
Metart starting to offer sensuality in its videos.
A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned in a comment that Metart was starting to add a bit of eroticism to their videos. The video I cited was posted 2013-04-01, titled "Spera". The model is Christel A.
For many years, the Metart videos, featuring lovely young nude teens, were boring or sterile.
The Spera video definitely has a bit of erotic feeling to it.
Today, I saw a public preview video at Metart, titled "The Girls of Metart", starring Sapphira, that definitely qualifies as erotic art.
If, in the future, the videos at Metart follow this new direction, they will be a strong addition to an already great site.
One word of caution: If you watch this video, don't expect the great mass of videos at Metart to have this erotic quality: This is a new direction, a new sense of erotic exploration in their video library. The older videos, in spite of the lovely models, are basically boring and a waste of time to watch.
But the newest videos, just based on the Spera video, and the newest preview video named "The Girls of Metart", is really an amazing advance in eroticism. In the newest videos, girls are allowed to touch themselves, and each other. This is still softcore, but in the older videos, girls basically did not touch themselves, or each other, in a sensual way.
