I joined Brain Pass / PornStar Network a couple of weeks ago. I had not joined earlier because a friend (and registered but not active PU member) had warned me that over half of the content was inaccessible without paying a further $30 fee. I joined on the strength of a TBP review that said the issue no longer existed because the site now gave full access to people who joined through TBP. The problem is that there was a glitch and I didn’t have full access. So I was screwed over by an unethical site again, right? Wrong. Much to my very pleasant surprise the webmasters at Brain Pass / PornStar Network took the issue very seriously and resolved the problem, keeping me informed the whole time. The staff at TBP were also involved and gave some excellent assistance and even contacted the webmasters too. Their issue was probably more general in that they had told people that there was a great value when joining through TBP and wanted to make sure that they weren’t steering people wrong.

I’m a cynic by nature and suspect that probably 90% of the people running porn websites don’t give a rat’s ass about customer satisfaction. I read reviews and comments here all the time that support that notion. Brain Pass / PornStar Network isn’t one of those sites: they worked to resolve the issue and keep their word that TBP users would have full access.

I’ll write a review soon, but my experience means that they’ve gone from being a really great site to being an excellent site. My friend and fellow PU has been informed of the change and encouraged to join again. I hope he does.

Finally, this was a perfect example of how great a site that TBP is. I honestly think that the Brain Pass / PornStar Network would have resolved this issue anyway, but it felt better knowing that the TBP gang was in my corner.

Thank you to all of you who made this a really positive experience.

And the rest of you? If you like DVD sites with a great mix of exclusive stuff, get your ass to Brain Pass / PornStar Network. That's an order from the Admiral.

Admiral, I was never in the Navy. I was in the Army a couple of years (back in the 1960s, which seems like ancient history now).

So do your orders apply to me? Are they legally enforceable over all PU members?

Especially since you are stationed in Canada, which is a separate country from the United States.

That brings up an interesting question: Does your rank give you authority over all PU members, or just the Canadian members that are in the Canadian Navy (I assume Canada has a Navy, even though I don't remember ever reading about one.)

But it's positive you had a good response from the site, and that PU actually took an active role in resolving your problem. I agree with you that many porn sites seem to pay little attention to their members' problems, and often don't even respond to emails requesting help.

Wait: I found a picture of Canada's Navy. It seems to be a combined Air Force/Navy. That brings up another question: how do they get the airplane on and off the ship? Or do they just leave the plane on the ship permanently, and use it to fire bullets and rockets at enemy targets?

PS: I love their motto: "We get the job done."
Is that still the current motto? Edited on Jan 07, 2011, 02:07am

Your reply is great! That put a big grin on my face. To tell the truth, I'm not in the Canadian Navy (and yes, we have one...). I've been in the Air Force but in sea-suuport operations with the Sea King helo. Canada has no aircraft carriers so relies on Sea Kings on board the destroyers and frigates. The Sea Kings are almost as old as you and are due to be replaced soon, but that promise has been made before. For land-based aircraft like the B-52 and C-130 you can get 50 years of service out of them (some of our C-130s are almost that old and are still in great shape) but when you put an aircraft at sea in the salt air things happen. I'm amazed you guys got as long out as the F-14 as you did.) I'm currently in the Canadian Army, but in what we call a 'purple' trade. Trades like clerks and medical assistants can wear any uniform and get attached to any unit or ship. Same with professions like physician, dentist, lawyer or padre. I'm one of those, but it ain't padre. I wear an army uniform but I work primarily with the Navy, though the Army comes a close second. The Air Force doesn't really need any of the professions since they don't really do anything.

Bottom line - my authority is limited. Mostly because my wife says it is. I've been aboard American ships in the past, and while I was saluted and called Sir, I suspect if I asked for anything other than the directions to the heads I'd be told to fuck off. Hell, I'd do the same.

Getting to the real business of this (short and unread) thread, I was very pleasantly surprised that I was treated as I was. Not to be insulting to anyone, but I've heard that PornStar Network is run out of Canada. I'd expect a company run from here (or the U.S. or many European countries or Australia) to have a real interest in customer service. When a company feels the need to head to the Cayman Islands or Cyprus I get a bit skeptical.

And finally, that pic you linked to is a hoot! The real motto is Ready Aye Ready, and for those with an interest in such things, last year marked the 100th anniversary of the Canadian Navy. Prior to that we sailed under the British flag.

I'm glad to give a compliment where it is due, Khan. But in fairness, the TBP staff really had to step in and help because they caused my problem in the first place. When they reviewed PornStar Network" and added it to their "What's Hot" list they used a picture of Katie St. Ives. I'm only a mortal!!! How can I resist her? You could have her picture in an ad that said "Katie St. Ives says 'Buy Khan's non-vulcanized extra-crappy tires for the low price of $500 each!'" All I'd need is the place to send the cheque...

But seriously, Katie St. Ives is hot... oops, I mean, thanks.
