Perfect. Last challenge solved. And the various effects are fun to play with. The "cartoon" effect on a porn video creates some very interesting snapshots. Thanks again Toadsith. You are clearly the "go to" guy on PU. | |

The new, just released, version (ver. 9.4) of the VLC alternative to WMP from VideoLan offers a neat snapshot feature that is instantaneous so anyone can make photos from a video that are as good in quality as the video itself. VLC is free at VideoLAN. It's got some great features like the snapshots, a fast aspect ratio correction, and a better operating console. I use Mozilla Firefox and it works just fine. The one negative is that, unlike WMP, you cannot adjust color and/or contrast. I found this alternative in a post on this forum a few months ago so I installed it and have had no trouble at all with pop-ups or email spam. But the new version has added the easy snapshot feature, which is great and motivated me to post a recommendation on this forum. (The old version had a snapshot feature, but it was rather slow and clumsy to use.) | |

One other archaic term that is hardly used any more: FUCK - For Unauthorized Carnal Knowledge. Fornication Under Consent of the King. Actually, this term has been discussed on Snopes. Click on this link to see the origins of the term. | |

As I earlier said in my post, I lost interest in the Trust Ratings after getting some anonymous negative ratings with no explanations. If I posted a positive rating with an explanation, that rating could quickly be offset by a negative rating that had no substance or information. So what does the negative rating say about the member and how his/her participation should be evaluated? In November last year PU changed the rule to require an explanation, even if it's only a one word explanation, but anonymous evaluations are still permitted. Bottom line, if the trust rating is intended to communicate that an increased level of credibility is attributable to the member being rated, the ability of a member, hiding as "anonymous," to post a negative with a simple, "too wordy" or "Scores too high," does not appear very useful. What should the member who gets an anonymous negative rating do? Change his style of writing? If criticism is needed, it should be constructive, not just a simplistic comment that isn't particularly helpful. In other words, anonymous negative ratings really serve no useful purpose and, as in my case, makes me not want to post any ratings. That said, I just checked and note that the 3 anonymous and commentless negative ratings that were posted to my account has gone down to just one. I still don't know what the beef was that caused the negative rating. | |

Candidly, after receiving two anonymous negative votes very early after joining, and both with no explanation, I decided that the "trust ratings" were not particularly meaningful. After all, I know I put in a lot of effort drafting up my reviews and thought what I posted was useful and helpful to other members. If I missed that objective, I can accept that. But to have someone hiding in anonymity voting a negative trust rating without explanation told me that I was wasting my effort. It also told me that voting a positive was really a waste of time because it could, and sometime was, offset by a negative rating. The rules changed later but my reluctance to vote a trust rating continues for that reason. Instead if I like a review I will post a reply that says so rather than post a positive "trust" ratng. | |

Way back when I signed up for my first porn site I was hit with that "uncheck the box" gimmick. The good part is that I received an activation email for the unexpected site. So I went to the site and found the contact info. I called the biller immediately and they canceled the charge without any hassle at all. Since then I read the sign up box very carefully, as well as the activation email, and I keep everything. So far, so good with my only beef being that a site doesn't deliver what it promises. It all boils down to taking your time when signing up and keeping a close eye on your bank statement or credit card statement. (I access both on line and question any strange charges instantly.) | |

Great post, Cybertoad. But there are Newbies and there are Newbies. Miths, a Newbie, just posted an excellent review of AEBN Video On Demand, and it is the first one for that site. badandy400 nailed it with his example of a lousy review by a newbie, and I agree that most reviews by newbies are close to his example. But I'm looking forward to more from Miths and other newbies who take the time to be thorough and complete. | |

That's exactly me as well. One 19" with a 4:3 and one 17" with a 16:9. It really makes no difference to me what the aspect ratio might be. But I love the videos that are crisp and are not messed up by technical flaws. | |

That's my approach as well. If there are two or more babes, I will file it under the babe that most turns me on and add the other name(s) in the scene title with a parentheses. Example: Jane Darling/Video Box/(Laura Lion) Multiple POV #2.wmv The problem is that I don't want to waste hard drive space by filing a duplicate in the other babe's folder. As an alternative I create a shortcut to the other folder so in the example, my Laura Lion folder will have the shortcut that takes up no disk space. | |

I would imagine that, as with the studios, webmasters who don't want to upset their cash cow (let alone subject themselves to criminal investigation or prosecution) would be extremely conservative and would pull down anything that even smells like a problem. That said, caution still needs to be exercised when Porn Users go to foreign sites where the rules might well be different, and someone can innocently download illegal content. | |

What Traci Lords videos? [Seriously, when pat362 and Khan replied a few days ago, it took me about 1/2 hour to find the TL vids and erase them. I shed a tear or two (that babe's body was really something else) but this thread made me consider the issue in that light for the first time. Another of many reasons to be a member of PU.] The make good is that Jenna Doll is legal and, while thicker, is a suitable replacement for Traci. | |

Drooler, Just keep in mind that all but one of us PU fans respect, enjoy and use your efforts in writing your reviews. Simple but effective response: Illegitimi Non Carborundum(Safire's New Political Dictionary, this is "a pseudo-Latin phrase meaning 'don't let the bastards grind you down'.") | |

You know, you raise a very important point; one that I've never considered; and that's the pass through liability that could occur if the pornmeister screws up. (I have a few Traci Lords videos in my stash. Am I in violation?) | |

I suspect that the pornmeisters are smart enough not to risk losing their huge cash cow by even thinking about relaxing their proof of age requirements, no matter how likely the next Traci Lords has just crossed their threshold. I suspect that any females (or males for that matter) appearing in any porn of any kind has been thoroughly checked out for the age requirements. Thus the sites that feature very young looking and acting girls are teasing the fantasy but are almost certainly not purveying child porn. That said, then, the only remaining question is the viewing tastes of the patron, and that's a personal matter. (I like babes who are in their mid to late 20's, with big natural tits, large labia lips and an insatiable appetite for sex - lesbo or hetero. But skinny minnies who look anorexic do nothing at all for me. That's me. You may be different. That's fine.) | |

this, frankly, is the one thing that puts FTVGirls over the others in its genre...real babes in real situations with normal attire. Yes they get into fisting, lots of toys, etc., but the tease stuff with a peek at PTA* is really fun. *Pussy, Tits and Ass. | |

Interesting that williamj has stopped posting (his last was post #11 and this one is #44). Candidly this discussion is fascinating because it demonstrates a number of important characteristics about PU that I find terrific. The most important ones are: - The members are, by and large, intelligent and mature fans of porn on the web and are willing to discuss their interests openly and effectively. - The civility on this forum is amazing and very much appreciated. - The writing of good reviews is not the easiest thing to do but the reviews are the backbone of the site. The effort taken by so many people to write effective and informative reviews is especially good, because the primary motivation, contrary to williamj's assertion, is to provide good information to people with similar interests. Thanks, williamj, for starting this discussion. I suspect it didn't develop in the direction you expected (wanted?) it to, but it has been an interesting read. | |

The latency on PU has never been a problem for me. The IBM study on the subject said that a latency of under 1 second is usually fine for normal text stuff and that it becomes a problem at 1.5 second or higher. PU's opeartion is about the same or better than other similar sites. | |

You are right, of course. Do you have any D/L managers in mind at prices of $30 to $50 that do everything? (I'm OK, generally, with the one that comes with the plain vanilla Mozilla browser but am always interested in efficiency. I loaded Downthemall and tried it out but don't see any advantage over the default manager.) | |

I agree. Strange. The answers would be clearly subjective and not particularly useful. Some sites have hundreds of pics of a babe in essentially the same position and others with only a few like a teaser set on a free site. Some guys are into pics and others into video. I'm guessing it came from a troller who stumbled into PU and thought he'd give it a go, then decided to take off right away when his wife asked him about that new URL (pornusers.com) on his 'puter. | |

Iomega is selling a 320Gb for $59.95 on their website. It's a refurb. As for indexing, after a few false starts, I've gone to using the Babe's name at the primary level, then the site, then the video. That way I have everything for the babe in one place and can spot duplications easily. The Drives are assigned alphabetically by Model's first name. So far the system seems to work well. | |

That's my one problem. I have a 500 Gb hard drive that is ready to quit (sometimes accessible, usually not) so I am moving what I can to a good hard drive. But when you say you have had several failures, did you lose all you had on those drives or were you able to recover your stashes somehow? | |

The sad part is that both teams are struggling just to finish with a .500 season. It almost happened last year where a team could have made the playpffs with a losing record. Same situation this year. At least it fills the seats. I'd just like to see a team in the NL West like the 2001 DBacks, which was a team that was genuinely good enough to go all the way. | |

Thanks for the link. I downloaded it and tried it out on two short wmv's and two short mpg's. Worked perfectly. Fast, clean, easy to use and no loss in definition. The only (insignificant) issue is the extra screen before the joiner starts that will go away if you actually buy the software, and the max of 3 segments in the free version that you mentioned. For free I can live with that screen and the 3 limitation. The site has other interesting tools that I plan to try out when I have some free time. Thanks again. Just what I wanted. | |

I have done that with a few sites (like Shay Laren, for example) where the babe is hot and the site is very small. In her case, the objective was to drain the site and close the account, then edit down the crap. Most of her stuff was great except the excessive duplication of shots (where I used my delete key quite frequently). I've thought about it with large sites, like Brazzers, but instead I've just drained all content for a specific model. FTV Girls is a site that has tempted me to drain 'em all because it has what I like...but the site is too large as a result of the excessively long shots of the same action (10 minutes of dildo insertion with the babe oooh-ing and ahhh-ing and perhaps moving a few inches being the only substantive change can get rather tedious). In that case I'm storing on DVD and have been watching the scenes and copying only what I really like to my external hard drive. The psychology is that, if I pass on something that I really should have loaded to my hard drive, I always have the CD backup. As for regular sites, like Twistys and Babelicious, storage space on externals is now not a very expensive deal with first rate 500Gb hard drives available for $90 so the temptation is to load it all and plan on getting another hard drive in case the current one fills up. | |

Welcome and I agree. Always great to have the merchants points of view. Hopefully, like me, you also enjoy strolling up and down Oxford Street on a warm summers afternoon (like July) when the exceedingly well endowed and underadorned British ladies show off their stuff. (I travel from California to London about 2 or 3 times a year and never tire of the stroll from Marble Arch to Oxford Circus (except when it's raining).) | |

Looks like the good guys won the first round! Today's Wall Street Journal FCC to Rule Comcast Can't Block Web Videos Decision Could Set Precedent In Debate Over Internet Traffic By AMY SCHATZ July 28, 2008; Page B1 Washington -- Federal regulators are set to announce this week that Comcast Corp. wrongly slowed some of its customers' Internet traffic, in a victory for consumer groups and high-tech companies that have fought to keep Web traffic free from interference. The Federal Communications Commission will rule that the cable giant violated federal policy by deliberately preventing some customers from sharing videos online via file-sharing services like BitTorrent, agency officials said. The company has acknowledged it slowed some traffic, but said it was necessary to prevent a few heavy users from overburdening its network. The decision, expected Friday, would set an important precedent in the continuing fight about how far phone and cable companies can go to make more money from their Internet networks. Cable and phone companies are experimenting with new ways to deal with people who use a lot of bandwidth, including "Internet metering" -- charging customers for the amount they use. The FCC decision is likely to be challenged in court; if upheld, it would affirm the agency's right to play online cop and make sure Internet providers don't interfere with online traffic. FCC officials have grown more concerned about the issue as consumers watch more online videos, which take up growing chunks of bandwidth. On Friday, a majority of the five FCC commissioners voted in favor of finding that Comcast violated federal policy by slowing some Internet traffic. FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said in a statement that he believes it's important that all consumers have "unfettered access to the Internet." The FCC will require Comcast to stop blocking or slowing traffic and better disclose its practices to customers. Comcast has already done most of what the agency is asking, and won't face a fine. But the FCC's investigation has had a chilling effect on other providers' efforts to find ways to make more money from their networks, such as providing faster service to commercial partners. The FCC's action stems from a complaint filed last November that accused Comcast of blocking subscribers from using some file-sharing services. Comcast said it has to do something about the small percentage of subscribers who swap large files on peer-to-peer networks because they use a disproportionate amount of bandwidth. Comcast said it didn't violate federal rules and argued that the FCC doesn't have the authority to enforce a set of "net neutrality" principles it passed in 2005. "We continue to assert that our network-management practices were reasonable, wholly consistent with industry practices and that we did not block access to Web sites or online applications, including peer-to-peer services," said Sena Fitzmaurice, a Comcast spokeswoman.

This is very interesting. I've always viewed the "quality" element to be reflective of the content, not the technical aspects. A site that has super high definition photos or videos of fully clothed babes sipping on their Latte's when they advertise themselves as a porn site, or that has 500 HD pics, 400 of which are almost the same doesn't have the quality of content that I would expect. Twistys, to me, is a higher quality site than, say, its sister site Annette Dawn, for that reason. | |

The problem here in LA is that our city council cut a deal with the cable companies where, in exchange for exclusive territories (that means monopolies) assigned by the city if the cable companies would stop their objections to assessing a 10% city tax on all cable services. That has`resulted in an environment where my cable service, Time Warner, has cut back on all customer service operations, discontinued their 2 hour time windows for service calls and have changed to an 8 hour window, and virtual elimination of all discount deals. AT&T (the old Pac Bell) has finally figured out that there's a ripe market for their (overpriced) DSL out there and they are looking into providing TV feed in lieu of cable tv, so there may be some hope on the horizon. You guys who live in areas where government supported monopolies do not exist are likely to be the last to have limits placed on your download activity. | |

Here's more on the issue... "...In its Beaumont test, Time Warner Cable offers subscribers four tiers of service based on transfer speed and on usage caps that range from 5GB to 40GB. For $30 per month, for instance, Time Warner promises users a download speed of 768 kbps and imposes a 5GB monthly cap; $55 fetches downstream transfers at 1.5 mbps with a 40GB cap. Customers who exceed the usage limit must pay $1 per additional gigabyte..." PCWorld 7/14/08 Here's the full article...Bandwidth Limits Make a Comeback | |

My conclusion is that CCBill and Epoch, and their customer sites, make so much money from the sites' subscribers that they don't want to run any risk at all by trying to make a few extra bucks with any kind of "games" and pissing off their paying members. | |

Sounds like a job for the Federal Trade Commission's Truth in Advertising Task Force! ;o) Seriously, I agree completely with TBP's policy of reporting the limitations stated on the site, even if they are contradicted by actual experience or by WebMaster statements. Digital Desires is on my B List of sites to try. It's not on my A list because of the step pricing (extra charge for HC content) and also the DL limitation. [For what it may be worth, my A list contains sites that I'd sign up for today if my budget wasn't already maxed out; my B list are those sites that look promising but that have a klinker or two that I need to give serious thought to before going to the Join Up screen; and my C list are those sites that have gotten good reviews on PU and TBP but that I haven't really checked out yet.] | |

This never, ever occurred to me but it makes perfect sense. I'm gonna take some time and switch all my HD's to NTSF. Thanks, guys. | |

Uh, "discrete?" Are we talking about the same Epoch and CCBill? Copied from my credit card statement: EPOCH.COM *TWISTYSLLC EPOCH.COM *BRAZZERSTE CCBill.com *FTV Limited EPOCH.COM *EAPRODUCT I'll bet you can guess the source of the first three charges without my having to provide any hints. The fourth is the Elegant Angel website which is the only "discrete" charge. Accuracy and reliability of both services is 100% OK, but the "discretion" part needs a little bit of work. | |

I'll leave the solution to someone who knows what he's talking about (I clearly don't). But I've found there are a few physical issues with my hard drives. One is the RPM's. A 4200 RPM hard drive is far slower (and less expensive) than a 7200 RPM drive so that, alone, could be an issue. Also, if you are using a USB connection you could have defaulted to an old 1.1 rather than a 2.0 USB connection. The test: Copy a poor playing video to your computer's hard drive an see if it plays properly from your internal hard drive. If it does it could be a slow performing hard drive, a malfuntioning hard drive, or some other physical issue that's causing the problem. If it has the same problem playing from your internal hard drive it could be that the download was screwed up somehow or that the video became partially corrupted and your hard drive is not the culprit. | |

Copy that. Toadsith is a valuable part of being a member of this site. | |

With CC bill I can get a complete summary of every membership I've ever had with them, when it started, when each credit card charge was processed and for how much, what log on info I used, any upgrades or changes in service, etc. With Epoch, I don't get any billing information at all. They don't even provide the subscription pricing. However I do get current sign-up/cancel history as uscus suggests. Although I'd prefer to be able to see all pricing detail, I can live without it. Back to the point. Both services are safe and reliable so there's nothing to worry about with either one of them. | |

Epoch and CCBill have both been glitch free for me for over 5 years. CCBill has a full history on its site of all past and present memberships which can be useful. Epoch does not so if you need some details, you'll need to call their 800 number. | |

Right on. And my question to the producer/director/editor is, why do you idiots think a 3-4 minute effort to get a small bit of jizz out of a flaccid dick does anything for your clientele? | |
