The video quality on Reality Kings falls into 3 groups. - 1 Really old stuff which is not worth bothering with; - 2 The bulk of the stuff up to about 2 years ago when they started on what they call HD, which is not bad. Pretty standard - not the best and not the wost but very watchable; I was a member a couple of years ago and all the scenes of Cassandra and Sierra that I got are in this category. - 3 The newer HD stuff. I have just had a look at my videobox scenes and they are slightly better video quality than the RK ones but there's not a lot in it. I have also just had a look at the new videobox site and unless I searched it wrong the new version of the site suggests there's only 2 Cassandra scenes but I got 10 scenes of her off videobox about 18 months ago. My recollection is that the VB search is not very reliable. I'd forgotten how gorgeous Sierra Skye is till your post. Thanks for reminding me : ) | |

Reality Kings has a range of sites and models. The ones that will cover what you are looking for best would be the ones you said and Big Naturals, Milf Hunter and Milf Next Door. Go to Reality Kings and search Cassandra Calogera, Sierra Skye and Victoria Cross. You can do it without being a member. Putting the boobs aside and looking at their tummies I would say that you would find quite a lot on those sub-sites in the Cassandra Calogera range. Sierra Skye and Victoria Cross is about where it tops out but the bias of curves and tummies is more Cassandra than Sierra and Victoria. What they are is fantastic shape. Reality Kings is not in the area of plump let alone or obese. Quite a few of the other sub-sites on Reality Kings have also got proper girls rather than stick insects, even if they are not overly curvy. I have not joined DDF but I had identified it as a site I would go to for curvy girls like on Reality Kings. Avoid the Russian sites lol. Even if they get a girl with curves in a group scene they wont let her take much of her clothes off or promote her in the scene. | |

Dude, the download speeds off that site are totally bogus. You can get good speeds for just a fraction of the day (and in the UK it aint the bit that right thinking folks are up and about in lol). Rest of the time 275kps tops is the norm. What's more, if you try to download photo zips its usual for it to drop to 30 to 50 kps even though you were just getting 250 on vids. Good luck with the editing though but, for me, anyonebutme has the scoop on this - it ain't worth it. I'd only do it if there was a scene I was desperate to get onto a dvd. | |

It didn't appeal to me but I think I recall that AllWAM had a few scenes of this although like most of the Orgymax sites they tend to kick the arse out of the theme. I wouldn't like to vouch for the content delivery now that Tainster have got hold of it. Edited on Apr 18, 2011, 03:11pm | |

I think prices are static. Ed, large or small content depends on the type of site. This is my impressions. It's not meant to be scientific. I think we have become conditioned to thinking that a site is not good value unless there are 100s ands 100s of scenes, without giving a lot of thought to whether the scenes are really any good. So I look at it from two points of view - relative and absolute. On a Mega site (Reality Kings etc.) and DVD site for 20 to 30 USD most people will probably download 250 or so scenes that they consider based on their tastes to be of very good, or better, quality (quality means the girls and filming etc. not the resolution /bit rate etc. of the image). There will be more scenes on offer but I'm supposing you download the best you like and ignore the rest. If you join again a year later then I suppose you would download another 50 or so scenes. Site size alone does not justify a lot more than this price because Videobox etc can easy put up 20 dvds in a week but a lot of it will not be appealing. Not may companies can compete with this ratio of good scenes per USD paid. There is no need to. There are only a few of these sites and most buyers will want to look elsewhere in between visits. General sites. That is, not niche sites. Some smaller sites offer passes (join one get membership to 7 independent other site etc.) Either a stand alone site, or small group pass, seem to offer anything from 100 to 900 scenes of about 15 to 25 mins each. Using this info to start to answer Ed's question, I think 100 scenes of 15 to 25 mins is on the small side. 900 scenes is obviously a lot. So I'd guess that 'a lot' in relative terms probably starts at about 300 scenes. Size is only one factor though. Quality of content is paramount. It is because every buyer is different when they assess quality of the scene, and there are so many variables, that you just cannot get 100% strike rate across the site. I think 35 excellent to good scenes from a site is an excellent return for a price of 20 to 30 USD based on experience of what is out there. I usually download a lot more than the excellent scenes, as a good or average scene can be ok sometimes and you might be in the mood for it, but most of us know when we see it what category a scene will fall into in our collection. I have not done any maths but my instinct is that most sites turn around about a maximum 20% of excellent to really good scenes compared to total scenes on the site. But even with a tour you don't know it is actually going to be 35 excellent scenes before you join and that's the problem. A general site with 50 scenes is almost guaranteed to return only a strike rate of around a dozen good scenes. It is because most people know this is likely to be the case that it is hard to get someone to try a site with under 100 scenes if the price is as high as 20 to 30USD. For 20 to 30 USD, on a general site, I want to see at least 100 scenes, ideally 200, on offer to stand any chance of getting 35 scenes of good or better quality. If that is not on offer I will probably see what else is out there before thinking about the site further. I would think about it, and I have joined several sites of under 100 to 200 scenes and will join more, but they are further down the shopping list. Of course, the better the scenes look from the tour the more flexible I am on this. If most of the scenes looked really good then I would definitely sign up for a site with under 100 scenes for 20 to 30 USD. You also have to take into account also that size of site can mean lots of old material that does not cut it today. A lot of Reality Kings material is fuzzy, stutters and is unwatchable by today's standards. So a 100 scene site going since January 2010 is going to be a better bet than a 100 scene site that stopped updating 4 years ago. A small resolution / fuzzy scene cannot by my definition ever be an excellent scene and so it can never get into my target of 35. My target of 35 scenes is based on and conditioned by what the market seems to offer when comparing the competition and 'relative' value for money. It has nothing to do with whether the actual cost per scene is high or low. Why should 35 excellent scenes be good value, and 20 not good value ? Of course, it is arbitrary. So what I have just said is just a starting point when weighing up a site before joining it. Indeed a nice amount of good to average scenes gets weighed into it as well. I do not think 20 to 30 USD is actually a lot to pay for even 15 excellent scenes which is well under 50% of my target of 35. You are going to watch them loads of times and keep them years and get a lot of enjoyment out of them. More enjoyment long term I think than one blockbuster Hollywood feature film for 15 USD. So, compared to what else you might buy for the money even 15 excellent scenes for 20 to 30 USD is good value. But going back to 'relative' values from one site to another, I doubt it is easy to sell a lot of subscriptions to a general site that looks like it is offering under 100 scenes of 15 to 20 mins length because there are much bigger sites out there. There has got to be a special reason to go for a small site. It may be that it the buyer is really into a girl who appears on the site. You can't plan that of course. You just get lucky to pick up some extra sales. I would pay 15 to 20 USD to join a site that offered a few scenes of someone I really wanted to see because I still think it is good value for the enjoyment. But that high ratio of USD per scene is very much an exception. The exception aside, in my opinion to sell the smaller sites you have got to be either better quality content across the board (which if its general adult stuff is statistically unlikely) or you have got to offer niche content. With a niche scene you are going to be more likely to get the video into the good to excellent category for the buyer, as you have got head start. The scene has already got something extra about it the buyer wants. Also, I would be prepared to pay a bit more USD per good or better scene for niche scenes. Looking at niches site the figures I have joined then I have seen from 100 to 350 scenes. So 100 is on the small side even for niche content. As before, the better the general quality of the scenes the better the ratio of good scenes per USD so 100 scenes could still potentially convert into excellent value. The chances of it doing so are better on a niche site than a general site, but a site of 100 niche scenes is still a bit of a risk on the value of money stakes. It also faces a lot of competition to get people through the door from other niche sites with more content. In my experience, many niche sites are not very well executed so I have to say what you get in theory with the upside of nice niche content (for whatever your particular niche is), is often lost in the quality of the filming etc.. Ed, I have looked at your Strip Game Central site. Your numbers of video scenes are low in my experience (81 I think) even for a niche site but if there's to 20 to 30 scenes that are excellent to good then it is still potentially a good deal. The question is will it be a good deal ? That depends on the buyer. For me, I am not sure yet although it does have some good things going for it - the fun scenarios and choice of models for a start, including a couple of the best girls from the UK scene at the moment. I intend to email you a couple of questions about the content if that's ok to help make my mind up about whether the site is for me or not, might be a bit too much on the soft side. In the meantime, what I do think is that with other niche sites offering more scenes all fighting for the same money (albeit different niches) 20 USD is as much as I would rush to pay for 81 scenes plus photos, subject of course to finding out a bit more about your site content. If I am typical, then putting the price up might not make you any more money due to fewer buyers. I know some people put a lot of weight on photos, including some forum members here, but I honestly don't think the majority buyers out there decide to join sites based on amount of photo sets.

Hello wittyguy, thank you for your reply. I have just run media centre again and my experience with the smaller RK pictures is not too bad from a strictly viewing point of view. They fill up most of the screen and although they are not pin sharp I have to say they aren't bad at all. Plus I like the girls they got lol. Also those RK sets are way way too big with 700 or 1000 photos. It's absurd and media centre can't navigate round them well at all and its impossble to enjoy looking through them. I don't see why they can't edit it down to a sensible number. I'd do it myself but I just don't have the time. Anyway, that's a different gripe lol. T. | |

Hello everyone, I wonder if some one can give me some advice on this picture viewing question. Sorry the explanation is a bit long. Trimmed it as much as I could. My preferred picture viewer is the slide show you get if you pick "my documents" off the windows start menu. This brings up a blue bar on the left side of the screen. If I then pick my pictures it brings up an option of slide show in the blue bar. I like this viewer because when I pick a picture directory it brings up thumbnails almost immediately so I can see what's on offer and it is very easy to navigate. The problem is that when I pick the slide show it only displays the pictures in one fixed size. So, if the pictures are big they fill the screen :). If they are small (say 800 x 533 like Reality Kings) all I get is a box in the middle of the screen with a big black border. This is a waste on a 24" wide screen monitor. I cannot find any way whatsoever to boost the size to fill the screen. So I tried Media Centre. In media centre the pictures are all brought up to full screen size. So far so good. The problem with media centre is that I use two monitors (videos on one, pictures on the other etc.) but when media centre is maximized to one screen it won't let the mouse curser move on to the second screen. This is a pain because I can't navigate around my pictures or other videos on the second monitor ! Media centre is also very clumsy to use because, if there's lots of pictures, it takes forever to scroll down them to see what's on offer. In Windows Media and Fax viewer the pictures can be zoomed but it is not possible to cycle through the photos in slideshow mode so that software is not any good on any front. Can anyone help me solve the problems with these viewers I mentioned or suggest a different viewer that would give me everything I want ? Full screen pictures and let me use the second screen too. Also can I say that its good to read the contributions on the site generally and credit to all contributors for what looks most of the time looks like sane and sensible posts not abusive intemperate rubbish that litters lots of sites. Thanks for reading :). T Edited on Feb 02, 2010, 10:57am Edited by Staff on Feb 01, 2010, 12:22pm | |
