Just some thoughts on the Evil Angel Site Hi; I joined this site on the 24th Sept, and everything looked pretty good compared to some other sites I've joined. Then after getting into it deeper the bloom came off the rose fairly quickly, I had trouble using their add to favorites didn't work, their search engine for the stars would only show most popular models no matter what I tried. Sent an e-mail and got a load of BS pretaining to my browser which is internet explorer, suggested I try Firefox which I did and the resolutes remained the same.Then I find the download speeds are worse than some of the Russian sites even though I have a highspeed connection, the older clips are distorted (thumbnails) and there is no information on who is starring in the clip the famous N/A is there. This site has a lot of material and should be better maintained, guess success leads to laziness. Not going to stay for longer than I month I can tell you as long as they sit on their asses and dont try to improve the site. Rob12 Rob12 | |

From what you have described it sounds like they are using CMS, a "Content Management System." Though these systems are really great for managing large amounts of content and offering the user many viewing options, they are heavily scripted with PHP and Javascript and must be installed correctly with all conflicts resolved or this will be the result. Just a few weeks ago I decided to invest in CMS. I am encountering the same types of problems you have mentioned plus a whole lot more. I am going to have to hire a programmer to ensure everything works correctly prior to posting the new site, as all companies should be doing. How these systems work to create many download and stream options and all those great bells and whistles is as follows: One video and/or picture set in whatever format and setting is chosen is uploaded then CMS will create and distribute these files to the chosen locations in the site, saving the webmaster/editor huge amounts of time and labor. It functions similar with pics. If the settings are not correct the content will not look good or function correctly. Evil Angel has been around long enough they certainly should have these problems fixed. It may be laziness as you stated or simply the inability in these hard economic times to hire a programmer to maintain such a complicated system. Still, if pay sites expect anyone to frequent their sites, they must get the problems fixed pronto. I doubt it is your browser. It is more than likely conflicts in there scripts and improper video and picture encoding. As for older clips being distorted, this is something they can fix by re-editing the content from the original raw data. Once re-posted, it looks as good as new. The issue of not giving more info on the models has nothing to do with scripting, this is definitely something the company could easily fix. Running a pay site can be very costly, for the reasons mentioned above, however, it is important webmasters respond appropriately to members and not just put it off as a problem with your browsers. All site functions can be scripted for cross browser compatibility. Edited on Oct 04, 2010, 09:59pm | |

Hi what seemed to me a simple problem turns out to be a whole lot more complicated which leads me to believe the site is just plain fucking lazy. They take the money and hope nobody has problems. I'm gone at the end of my month! Rob12   Rob12 | |

Rob12, I certainly did not post the information to downgrade Evil Angel. I just wanted to shed some light on the complexities of using these fancy systems. I kind of compare it to automobiles. I have two brothers who "Back in the day" could fix anything automotive regardless of the mechanical issues. These days, they can't fix anything because everything is electronic and so complex it requires professional mechanics who have very expensive diagnostic machinery that must be used to identify the problems. So, I can no longer asked my bro's to just pop on by and check out what is wrong. I have to spend a fortune at the mechanics. I do believe if any website is going to continue using a CMS, they need to be willing to dish out the dough to maintain it and fix the problems. On the other hand, to compete in this highly competitive industry requires we use these systems which in my opinion, are just to difficult and complex. If you like Evil Angels content, it might be helpful to drop them another email expressing what you have expressed here. If they are at all concerned about retaining you as a member, they will respond in a more appropriate fashion. If they do not, then it is on them. Edited on Oct 04, 2010, 10:02pm | |

Rob12 - I had an Evil Angel membership earlier this summer and didn't experience any of the problems you've had. I also use Explorer as my browser. Maybe Evil Angel has made some changes and they're not bothering to admit that they have some bugs to work out. I agree with you 100% that some of the big studios can seem lazy when it comes to internet sites. It almost seems like they think that this internet thing is a passing fad. You'd think if you were a major studio that having a great site would be a priority. | |

I think EA is in an unusual place compared to many other studios because they are still producing a large quantity of DVD's each month and most of these can be streamed on movie sites within a very short period of time or can be downloaded from Videobox. So it begs the question on why they even have their own video sites? If it's because they see a segment of the market that can be filled by their sites then they should treat it as a business and make sure that their customer's are satified because all you'll wind up doing is sending them elsewhere for their EA fix and I've already named 2 places where that's possible. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

OK. Definitely not a good sign. Maybe they are just too spread out. As the saying goes; it is better to do a few things great than a lot of things poorly. Edited on Oct 04, 2010, 10:20pm | |

I actually have a membership to this site now, it was so cheap at the $9.95 price I couldn't pass it up. However I've already canceled. Their stuff is a bit too over the top and they never seem to get the fundamentals right (like good camera-work). They also seem to fancy themselves as big-shot directors. So much so that the directors faces are plastered all over the site. To me even in the 90's these guys were overrated-save for a few of the old Buttman movies. Extreme Associates owned these guys back then, wish they were still putting out quality stuff. | |
