Well, the idea of any kind of reward points scheme strongly suggests getting something for a continued membership. Which sounds good, but it also implies that there is some stuff - presumably content - that new members don't get. There are so many good sites that offer all their to members at the time of subscribing that folk expect this model now.

The only real incentive I can think of for continued membership is frequent updates AND a heavily discounted recurring fee (or similarly discounted annual membership).

As everyone else has said, on most sites you can download everything you need within a month, so updates are probably the key factor. I'd only consider a continuing membership of a site with content that really appeals, and offers daily, or near-daily updates - without both of those factors, I'd just visit again in a few months.

Assuming this is common practice, I'm surprised that more sites don't offer a reduced recurring rate. If I joined at, say, $25, I'd be far more likely to stay a member at $10 - and if I would otherwise have visited again in 4-6 months, that's more revenue.

As to other things... I am a member of one site which has a forum - that's fun, and it's good to have input from the webmaster there. But content - and ease of access to content - is the main one. Any kind of reward points - ie presumably tiered access - is a big turn-off.

Probably worth looking into some of the sites with Japanese content - that sort of thing seems to bit a relatively large niche there if you like asian girls...

I'm very fond of the pinup/alt/fetish genres... so if I had to choose one model, it would probably be Mosh. Her poses are relatively tame compared to much of what we see... but everything about is just sexy beyond words. She was of the main draws of Holly Randall's site and I wasn't disappointed by her shoots and videos.

Well, it's not really what you had in mind, but I have quite an interest in erotic photo books - some of which feature well-known porn stars and photographers. If that sort of thing might appeal, take a look at publishers:

Goliath - recently published a Holly Randall book

Edition Skylight - forthcoming Porn Stars project book

Taschen - who also have some more documentary books, eg Big book of breasts, Big book of legs

I also have a hugely entertaining and insightful book called Pink Box, about girls working in sex clubs in Japan.

I think that the 'Feti style' sub-brand of Graphis may have some similarly themed sets (although not devoted to it as Fetibox is).

However, although you can join that, it's pretty bizarre, as Cap'n's review and subsequent comments show...

Anyway, at the risk of stating the obvious, have a quick search on TBP for 'exploit':

Obviously costs a bit more than buying blank DVDs, but not hugely expensive and in theory far more convenient. I'm not sure of any specific brands offhand, but if you don't find any, let me know and I'll try to hunt something down for you... Edited on Feb 25, 2011, 07:34am

I use these often, and swap out the actual drives. Very occasionally something goes wrong, but it's just the interface, as opposed to the drive - plug it into a new case and it should work.

I don't think there's much difference in reliability of drives - as you say, sometimes you have a bad experience and it puts you off a brand. But brands like Iomega and Patriot don't actually make disks - they could easily have a Western Digital drive in them.

Making hard drives is a fantastically precise business and WD are 1 of only 4/5 (Hitachi, WD, Samsung, Seagate/Maxtor plus Toshiba for 2.5") companies that have the facilities to make them. It's worth bearing in mind that if you buy a cased drive from anyone else, they are shopping around and likely putting the cheapest one of those 5 they can find inside it for any given batch.

Aha, sorry, I meant no such slur! More I was agreeing with your own statement that it's possible - and therefore the implication that folk who are so inclined will do it regardless of DRM.

And that therefore DRM is really just a PITA for legitimate users. Actually more than that - counterproductive, since any site that uses it loses folk like you and I as customers.

I guess it's unlikely that these were shot on film, but rather on tape - and going back that far, I doubt the original format has the resolution to warrant hi-def. So although it could be put on blu-ray, it wouldn't look any better than a DVD.

I'm not that well up on video formats - am sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong!

I'm strongly of the opinion that DRM inconveniences only folk who who are bona fide paying customers.

* Somebody who really wants to rip it will find a way, as jberryl69 suggests

* The people who download the ripped version would never have paid for it anyway, so no actual customer is lost

I just wish the content providers who still do DRM (and not just in porn) would figure this out...

MistressKent, can you expand on that with your experience? I'm interested because there are only about 5 companies that make actual hard drives, and I'm not aware of much difference in reliability between them - the pricier models just tend to have faster access times which means very little for the majority of us.

It will just let you save the file, same as you'd save anything else - eg a word document or whatever, or when you choose where to save the files you download.

So, if you either save them directly to your external HD, or if you save them to your internal and copy the file to your external, it will be safe there - you can then import it again when you're all restored!

That's what I did - what have you got to lose? I know some (non-porn) Japanese sites may not accept non-Japanese cards, but the worst that can happen is that it doesn't work!

Good plan - but again, with google translate (with a combination of translating whole pages, or just copying and pasting bits) I'm sure it's doable. We even have a Japanese user here (Williard, IIRC) who posts whole reviews via translation.

If you want to limit your exposure, you could try a prepaid card - as I mentioned on another thread, I recently got an Entropay card which worked - but it may not work with all billers/sites.

Let us know how you get on - I have mixed feelings about Japanese porn, I love the girls but:

* the soft is too soft

* the hard is too hard

* the censorship drives me crazy - much more due to the presence of a big blurry blob rather than the absence of explicitness

All that said, I do very much like the content at Fetibox

Well, YMMV with some prepaid cards, I don't think all billers will accept all types - but FWIW I recently had success with an Entropay virtual card. There is no physical card mailed (unless you specifically want, and pay a nominal fee for one). I got it for a French site using Allopass, which would only accept cards billed in Euros (Entropay let you set up a card in EUR/USD/GBP), and it's worked fine so far.

Quite some time ago, I subscribed to a Japanese site - they did actually have an English version, but it was far inferior, so I opted for the Japanese version.

It's not as hard as it sounds (admittedly I did learn a little Japanese years ago, but it's all but forgotten and of no help whatsoever) - just look around and you will find the right links and eventually end up at a subs page. Try:

* Hovering over buttons and links to see where they go - actual URLs will be in English and might be called gallery, join, etc

* Use Google translate if necessary - it's not good on Japanese but enough to give you an idea.

I could fairly easily find my way to the subs page on Fetibox (which actually has a smattering of English on it). And similarly, signed up for a French site recently (that was a bit easier, of course!)

Unsubscribing might be a bit trickier, though :| Edited on Feb 16, 2011, 05:03pm

Indeed, as messmer said, it's worth remembering that hard drives can - and do - fail, physically, so if anyone's got a cache of paid-for smut on theirs, it's worth having a backup.

I should be able to offer advice, since IT is what I do, but I don't use Windows day-to-day. Yes, I'm going to be the smug bastard before someone else is, and say that everything works fine on the Mac, without any need for security software. (Notwithstanding such hardware failures, which are just as applicable to me.)

There is admittedly a price premium in using a Mac - but if anyone fancies trying something different, eg if it's time for a reinstall or you have a spare PC, it's worth trying Linux - the distros around now, eg Ubuntu - are great, secure, reliable and easy to use.

Good point. On one hand, we all have bills to pay and most of us have a relatively limited budget for porn; but on the other, as you say, even 10 years ago getting this much material would be unthinkable - my local, er, boutique sells DVDs for £30 which is shocking.

Of course, the situation is different now too - the internet has made porn a bigger market and more easily consumed; as such we likely consume more of it and/or get through it quicker than 10 or 20 years ago, so they need to stay competitive.

Overall, I think $30 is easily fair for a big site with a lot of content; and I'm happier to pay $15-20 for a smaller/newer site.

One thing I wonder is why so few sites seem to offer rebills at lower rates, Eg I'm unlikely to stay subscribed to a $30 site; I may join once and then again in six months or so if I liked it. But if it updated often, and rebilled at $15 or $20, then I think I'd be far more likely to stay.

If the thumbnails link to the full-size pics, then it's pretty straightforward - go to Tools > DTA Tools > DTA, then to the Links tab (as opposed to 'Pictures and Media') - you'll see a list of all links on the page. In most cases it will have already figured it out and checked them for you, but otherwise, highlight all the picture links and right-click and choose check items.

This works on most thumbnail pages, but maybe not if the thumbnails link to a *page* that shows the full-size pic. In this case you may need to do a sequence no download in DTA:
* When you see the large image, right-click > Copy image location
* Tools > DTA Tools > Manager
* Click + and paste in the location
* Hopefully part of the name is a sequence number, that you can edit into a range, eg if you see:

http://babesite.com/pics/high/bree/bree-001.jpg
change it to:
http://babesite.com/pics/high/bree/bree-[001:120].jpg

It should figure them out. Sometimes it takes a bit of head-scratching, but I've got quite inventive with DTA and downloaded sets that were made deliberately difficult to do so.

NakedBy is on my list to join, and I think that most of the videos they have are behind-the-scenes of the photo sets. Also at Petites Parisiennes, some of the models have making-ofs; and most of them also have interviews which you might like.

As Khan says, a download manager will do that for you. There are plenty around, but DownThemAll is a free add-on for Firefox that will handle that with relative ease - it will give you a list of all linked-to images on a page and grab them all for you.

I'm a bit of an armchair conspiracy theorist (those armchairs are out to get us, I swear!) and therefore deliberately keep a low profile online with my real details.

Like you, I'm often pressed on the issue - but I'm somewhat heartened by the fact that a) most folk I know of my age are on it, and that b) a colleague in her 20s isn't - it makes me think my absence there is more just because I'm an antisocial bastard, rather than an antisocial old bastard.

I have a liking for retro (more retro-style than actual retro) cheesecake and pinups - the kind of thing with some actual nudity but more tease. I'd put that kind of calendar up - and the tamer of my photo books are shelved where they could be noticed by the casual observer.

But as to porn/legs spread material, I think I'd be (rightly?) branded a DOM if I were to hang that up! And agree with Drooler that I'm never going to make that deadline if there's an enticing naked girl looking at me every time I check when it is.

But OTOH, I do somehow think it's a fun thing to give away eg at conventions - where your average visitor is probably in a different demographic to most folk...

Recently, I was passing (on my own) and finally took a look inside. And I was shocked and appalled at what I saw.

£40 for DVDs! I'll stick with online...

Well said - I come across this issue frequently, where folk online think they are a representative sample. Whereas we all have our own likes and opinions, the fact that we bother to write and post here, and discuss porn at all, very likely puts us in an entirely different demographic to the market at large.

I recently found this site:

http://www.beautyleg.com/

Although there's enough English to get you subscribed, I suspect it doesn't qualify for listing on TBP.

It's non-nude too... but if you like pretty Chinese girls with great legs, dressed in an assortment of short skirts, bikinis, some very nice lingerie and a dizzying array of nylons, (I can't be the only one...) it might be worth a look!

Oh, and I have something else vaguely similar which I will write up soon Edited on Jan 18, 2011, 02:08am

Agree completely! Picture sets - also videos, but perhaps pics more - are so much fun when there is some kind of narrative and/or context, as opposed to just a flawless girl in a studio or a glamorous location. That's why Petites Parisiennes worked so well for me - albeit perhaps relatively soft for some tastes.

I use DTA and like it, but does anyone know of a way to schedule it? That's my main problem with it at the moment.

Here in the UK, almost all internet providers impose a bandwidth quota; mine is 80gb/month (which is high!). Downloading smut gets through that pretty quickly, but they don't count traffic between midnight and 8am, so ideally I'd like a way to stay all my queued downloads after midnight.

Not sure if anyone's taken the time to specifically compare... but at the distance you'd normally watch a large TV from, can you tell much difference between 720 and 1080 videos?

As an IT guy, with sys admin among one of my roles, I'll chime in as the voice of reason and mention the subject of backup.

Granted, your smut collection isn't your company accounts, or customer database... but for some folk, it's still something that you've spent considerable time and money putting together!

Hard disks can, and do, die suddenly and completely; spend a moment to think about what that would mean. If it's easily replaced, then no problem; if it would be a major PITA, it's worth having a backup. As Thedebilman666 said, disks are really cheap now!

Sorry for being such a bore! I'm just a bit of a backup fiend :D

Aha, sure, of course having a high-res image allows you to crop in on a particularly delectable part... I've done it myself, but on the other hand, I feel in a good set, the photographer should have done it for you; give you good full body shots AND good close ups.

Having said that, portrait photos are disappointing in that they use a fraction of the screen; so I have been zooming them to full width and panning up and down over them.

Where I have the choice, I've downloaded some videos in 720 and some in 1080. On my 1920x1080 monitor, it's debatable whether I can tell the difference when they both fill it... I guess I just need to watch more before I can decide

Thanks to everyone for their replies. After all that, while figuring out the best picture viewing setup, I've gone and proved myself wrong (at least to some degree.)

Have settled on FFView - a (mac-only, sorry) viewer intended for Manga, but quite customisable, tweaked to work well with an Apple magic trackpad.

Between the two on my 22" monitor I can, (wirelessly, no less) with a few swipes on the pad, move between pictures, then zoom from fitting in screen to filling the width of the screen, and panning up and down over it. I wouldn't bother if I had to scroll etc, but this is just so easy

So now I have a use for pics 2000 pixels wide, even when they are portrait.

Having said that, this may be a practical limit since I can't see that I'd be able to see any more detail than this, even if my monitor was higher res.

messmer... look out for my next review, coming in the next day or two. I'll say no more until then

Messmer, if you use this google search:
http://www.google.com/search?q=site:http...yfun.com/showgal.php

You'll find a few more preview pics and screencaps that I think concur with my assessment. Looks good to me, anyway!

Oh, and there's also Fantasy Panties - I think similar content, but focusing on satin panties. Niche enough?

Thanks for the replies! I'd be interested to hear from Drooler as to exactly what he does with 6000px and 8000px images

I see the point about futureproofing, but there is a finite limit, I think. There are very high resolution monitors now, about 4000px on around 22 inch, used for medical imaging - but I think these are approaching the limit of what you can see.

Similarly for larger screens - if you have a 50" 1920x1080 TV, I doubt that given the distance you sit from it, that you'd see any more detail if it was higher resolution.

I suspect that 4000px monitors will be commonplace in, say, 5 years. After that... well, maybe we'll have full-wall, 10000px projectors... all those pixels are starting to sound like a good idea

And hear hear about the orientation! We don't even get to see a 2000px set because they are all portrait

I looked into it along with Panty Amateur and Panty Maniacs, and it seems to have the most explicit content of the three, with fingers and toys inserted.

But from what I can tell, their tour and TBP review, I suspect the panties stay on at least to some degree, getting pulled down or pulled aside for access.

From the list of models, looks like you'll see some of the same you saw on Vintage Flash? Hopefully they have the same talent for talking dirty

I agree on the MILF issue - I like seeing girls in 30s and 40s and am currently a member of Karups OW (will be reviewing soon) - but although there's enough content to find some good material, there's still a few too many fake boobs (and tans) for my liking.

Not sure I could get into the barely legal genre, ideally I like at least girls in their mid-20s - and although I don't mind shaved girls, I prefer at least some hair so I doubt I'd sign up for a shaved-only site.

Knickers on the other hand... I do like fancy lingerie, but there's definitely something to be said for those tight cotton briefs :D

If you're looking for a different fetish, had you considered:

* Not-necessarily-teen panties - I'm tempted by Hot Panty Fun?

* Glam/latex? My interest is very piqued by by Forever Vamp!

* Have you been-there-done-that on the Nylon/Leg sites?
