The latest review of Adult Time by drdoug I thought I should make a special post to highlight the amazing recent review of Adult Time by drdoug just in case any of you guys missed it since it has now been bumped off the home page by Alybator posting 11 reviews of Dogfart Network. You may ask why this review has got my attention? Well take a look, this review has a grand total of one pro and one con. At first glance you may think the bottom line has a little more meat on the bones but if you delve into it you will find it's merely an explanation of the download limit and is in no way, shape or form what I would call an actual review of the site. I agree with drdoug that these rolling 24 hour download limits are a right pain in the ass meaning you have to schedule your downloading for exactly the same time every day. Last time I encountered one of these rolling download limits was at The Black Alley back in 2017 where the limit was only 5 GB. According to drdoug the download limit at Adult Time is 300 GB. How is this even an issue? Who the heck can consume 300 GB of porn in the space of 24 hours? If 300 GB of porn a day is not enough for you I suggest you either need to get a life or get some therapy. Anyway I thought nothing more of this review after seeing it just assuming that when the admin check in it will just be deleted as inadequate reviews often are. When I checked back a few days later and noticed this review was not only still proudly displayed at the top of the home page as the most recent review but that it had also been awarded 5 raffle entries I have to say I was absolutely flabbergasted. My gast has never been so flabbered, to coin a phrase used by the late great British comedian Frankie Howerd in the 1970 film Carry On Up the Jungle. Is this what the Admin at PU now deem to be the qualifying criteria for raffle entries, one pro, one con and a single issue bottom line? To make matters worse if you dig a little deeper into drdoug's brief posting activity here at PU you will also find that this literary masterpiece is not even a new piece of work, he merely copied and pasted the same comment he posted as a reply to LKLK's January 2020 comment on Adult Time. Does anybody at PU even read the submitted reviews anymore? I'm sure a few years back this review wouldn't have passed the scrutiny of Khan. On another topic I noticed one of the old timers messmer made a couple of posts the other day, first time I've seen him around here in a long time then a day or two later I noticed his profile already disabled. I guess he had a look around and noticed this site has gone to the dogs lately. I must admit I've also become disillusioned with PU over the last year and been very close to disabling my profile on a number of occasions.. There's a limit to the number of times I can read the same reviews of the same old networks by the same small group of users over and over again and still remain interested. Anyway I'd just like to finish by wishing drdoug the best of luck in the next raffle and really hope he walks away with the first prize then I can disable my profile in disgust. | |

I can't complain about the status of the site or the forum because I'm part of the list of first ones on the site and I don't come here as often as I should and I certainly don't come as often as I used to. sadly many of the first ones are long gone and many of them were a large part of why I came here. It was fun to interact with them but so few people now actively participate in the forum that I wind up interacting with one or two people. I'm not going to ask you to go back and a decades worth of threads but there have been epic back and forth on this forum that I have not seen elsewhere. I don't want to diminish the people who participate in making what PU is now but we have had some seriously smart people who aren't here anymore. Now in regard to the recent AT review. It's not the way I would do it but doug got his point across and justified his score but a fairly long explanation. I'm not entirely sure if the anal in his pros is really a pro by the words he used but I'll y=take him at his word that he enjoys anal porn and joined AT because they have a lot of it. he loses me in the complaining about download limits because 300GB is a shitload of videos in my opinion and if he downloads at a normal rate then he could conceivably download upward of 6000+ videos with his monthly membership. Pardon my French but FUCK ME if that isn't a staggering number of videos. That is at least 12,ooo hours of porn or 500 days worth of porn. Since many of the videos on AT are not in HD then a minimum of 300GB worth of porn per day is in onw word...Gigantic. I haven't disabled my profile yet and I doubt I will do so anytime soon but Participating on a daily or even a regular basis is not something I currently plan to do. I've already stated why. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

tangub, I believe your reviews, although infrequent, are some of the most informative reviews posted at the PU site. It would be disappointing if you stopped participating at the PU site. We've lost too many members who made the site interesting and worthwhile to visit. Just my two cents, but you would be missed. | |

Why did you name me? Are you sure you want to do that? You instigated this by naming me. Pinkerton reviewed 11 or 12 sites from VIP4K last month, the same thing you're complaining about me doing. He's been here 14 years. I have been here 1.5 years. He also reviewed all or nearly all of the sites from the Fake Hub Network. I don't see his name being mentioned like mine was. MarcDC reviewed all 23 Dogfart sites and even the mobile versions. I reviewed 10 of them and the network itself. I don't see his name listed on here and he's been here 14 years. LKLK who I knew when I was a lurker as lk2fireone regularly reviews network sites. I don't see his name listed on here. I came to Porn Users after 6-7 years as a lurker. A former staff member asked KayTBuffs and I to join to add female perspective. I started out reviewing much more expansively than now. I also was reviewing sites no one else reviewed and paying premium prices for those sites. Transsexual, Bisexual and gay sites with many of those costing $30-$40 a month for 1 site. When I would come look at the raffle results I would see a bunch of "old timers" with a gluttony of network site reviews they paid $10 for. All I did was follow the lead. My reviews of Dogfart also showed differences between the sites and I could have reviewed the other 12, but I didn't. As a therapist, I often find that people complain about things they are or were guilty of. I looked back in your review history here on PU. See below where 80%, 8 out of your first 10 reviews, came from networks. Those are all quotes from your reviews. "Included as one of 4 free bonus sites when you subscribe to 88 Square" "Part of a good network of 15 solo sites" "Part of a network of 13 sites" "Part of a network of 13 sites" "Part of a network of 13 sites" "Access to 9 other sites" "Recently added as a free bonus site" "gives access to another 13 solo model sites." As I started this post out with you don't want to do this with me. If you had named everyone that's guilty of network reviews or if you hadn't named me specifically, then I wouldn't have done this. It makes it even worse that you said "There's a limit to the number of times I can read the same reviews of the same old networks by the same small group of users". That sounds like a personal control problem you have. You want people to only write reviews for sites you're interested in? If you have anything else to say to me other than, "I shouldn't have singled you out", I will continue to look into your profile's past and see just how many different network sites you have reviewed. This is what happens when you instigate someone while being hypocritical and not naming anyone else who has done the same. Just because you've "had" to read other Dogfart reviews is no reason to get upset over mine. You do know you don't have to read every review? I would even say you have a bigger issue with the staff than naming a member. If they go back to just allowing a review of a network as a whole and maybe one or two network sites or only standalone sites, I will comply, but this is how things are being done right now. I didn't make that choice. | |

I totally agree with you Pat, this place no longer feels like the community it once was. What has PU become now? What I see is a small group of the same 4 or 5 people so obsessed with winning the raffle every month that they flood the site with a large number of poor quality or copy and paste reviews of the same old network sites. I'll exclude rearadmiral from that generalization as he seems to be about the only one left who writes unique interesting reviews on a variety of sites. It's got to the point where I'm no longer interested in contributing as I see little of any interest here. I suspect part of the problem is there seems to be nobody left here who shares my taste in the softer side of porn/erotica so I probably don't fit here anymore. | |

I'm not complaining about you or your reviews, merely stating a fact that the review of Adult Time that really irked me and was the subject of my post was bumped off the home page by a bulk posting of reviews. It just happened to be you, could have been anyone, so get over yourself and stop trying to treat everyone as a therapy patient. Anyway I can't be bothered to argue with you so I'm out of here. There are more important things in life. Adios. | |

It didn't just happen to be me. You also got an attitude with KayTBuffs when she was reviewing regularly. Would you like me to quote it? She reviewed Love Hairy, I'm going to paraphrase and link it. https://www.pornusers.com/replies_view.html?id=110757 She said in the review the site was 19 years old based on the content being 19 years old. You had to correct her, "The site has not been around for 19 years, I believe it's only been around 2 or 3 years." You then in the next reply said you could see how the content being 19 years old would give the impression of the site being 19 years old. That is exactly what she said, snobbery and elitism. If you hadn't corrected her and just posted a reply saying it's a compilation site with content that's 19 years old, it would be different. Instead, you corrected her, then laughed at her response. Now, you say it could have been anyone, it just happened to be me that got mentioned like that poor Adult Time review was the first poor review that's ever been posted? I also will say it's funny that you said for me to get over myself. Do you understand the way conversation works? If you didn't name me, I wouldn't have replied, then you wouldn't have anything to say get over myself about. Which shows the problem you have. You stir things up then you run away. You'll come back and do it again, then you run away. If you weren't so touchy you would realize my post was agreeing with everything you said except naming me. I don't treat anyone like a therapy patient until they show how unstable they are. You started a thread just to bash someone. That's not elitism either is it? It seems you lost the concept of the site. It's here to review porn sites not to review reviewers. | |

Once again, I feel like we're going over old territory and this is why I waited to respond, but judging by the drop in reviews coming in - I should have known that the issue wouldn't simply go away. I appreciate that Tangub had been a member since 2010 (he disabled his account) and so with tenure comes a sense of perhaps both duty and entitlement to police other members. But in the end, approving reviews is my call to make (or another staff member's if I am away). And there is no need to call out other Porn Users for taking a different approach than your own. In fact, you should hold back anything other than constructive suggestions. Though we have general guidelines for reviews, if someone occasionally departs from those standards, I think it keeps things fresh. And so drdoug who had started to participate more recently wrote passionately about something important to him. The only thing I am super strict about is the minimum word count of 350. I was hoping with the departure of other PU members who also felt compelled to act as self-appointed review cops to avoid threads where people tear each other down. But times are tough and stress often gets misdirected. Alybator did nothing wrong back, but Tangub may not have realized that the rules changed a few years back regarding reviewing multiple channels on the same network. Please feel free to review any site with an active listing on TBP (except clones). On both The Best Porn and Rabbit's Reviews, we review entire networks in one big push with every working login. So why would it be different for someone on Porn Users who have paid for a membership that gives full-access to multiple sites? It's too bad that Tangub left, but even if some yearn for the good old days, it seems to me there has long been a cliche rather than a community. And by being less rule-focused, we're more inviting and inclusive. Hello, I'm Tom, your PU admin today. Would you like to hear about our specials? | |

Tom D Admin, could you fully explain what a clone is? For example, the Adult Time network has channels titled Devils Film, Femjoy, Bare Maidens, Peter North, etc. These are all limited edition versions of sites that were outside of the Adult Time network. Some of those outside sites might still exist, while others seem to have been folded (or absorbed) into the Adult Time network. So are reviews of those Adult Time channels permitted, or not? I don't much care what technical term you use to describe these similar channels: I just want to know if a review of these channels is permitted, or not. In the same way, Pure Taboo used to be a standalone site. But now I think it's been absorbed into the Adult Time network, Except I think you can still join the Pure Taboo.com site directly. Except I think you automatically get the Adult Time network automatically added to your membership. So technically, Pure Taboo can still be considered a stand-alone site. Or maybe not: Is Pure Taboo a stand-alone site? Is Pure Taboo a clone? What the heck is a clone? I've thought about clones for years, and never understood exactly what they are: Is the Pure Taboo channel on Adult Time a clone, or not? Is the Femjoy channel on Adult Time a clone, or not? Is Devils Film channel on Adult Time a clone, or not? Are reviews on those three channels legitimate, or not? Adult Time says it has channels and series. But no sites, except for the Adult Time network. I get confused when thinking about clones. So you could be more clear, about what clones are forbidden, and what maybe-clones are permitted to be reviewed? | |

^I don't know the rules regarding reviews of specific sites within a network but in the past those were accepted as stand alone reviews. Needless to say that someone could easily review a dozen active sites within a network and if the rules are the same then get points for each review and someone who reviews just the network would only get points for that review. Maybe Tom can give us the rules but I think some networks have such a wide range of porn that reviewing the network would limit the amount of information you can offer. Adult Time is a good example because they have so many different sites in the network and each of them have very different kind of porn that it's pretty hard to just review the network. Long live the Brown Coats. | |
