But have no idea how accurate that characterization is. I’m still waiting for spring to arrive here in upstate NY

I've done some research on his background.
Shem used to be a professional reviewer, who sold his soul to the darkside, to gain the help of Brainiac in writing their reviews.

One day Superman (or Batman, or some other superhero) will make an announcement that Shen and his alter-ego Brainiac have been taken down, so we won't have to worry about people comparing our reviews to Shen.
Whether Shen will be banished to the darkside, or utterly destroyed by the Immaculate Lodestone, will be debated by mystical scholars of the future.

Sorry I didn’t give better instructions. Sorry.

The narrative may make more sense if you start with episode one. He interviews Fabian the founder of Pornhub hub at the start of a journey to see how instantly available porn has changed the porn industry and society.

I don't know how many of you are into podcasts - but I'd be lost without them. I came across this one about how PornHub altered the porn industry leading to both the homogeneous nature of big titles and the niche market of custom work. I'd love to start a discussion group and hear what the community thinks.

Below is a link to a review in slate and a link to the podcasters webpage. THE PODCAST IS FREE.

I look forward to hearing all your thoughts.

I have that experience all the time. Every time I go for a hair cut I'm shocked at the amount of grey that falls on the floor!

As move further into middle age - I'm stunned to continually discover I'm not 20 years old any more. Sometime that's funny - sometimes that's tragic.

Perhaps just a deep psychological desire to do that what you're not "suppose" to do?

I also take your point that there's plenty of hypocrisy to go around especially when you look at the public position of people compared to the google search results *couch* Bible belt *cough*

I've been complimented in the past for adding reviews for an unrepresented contribution to the niche. That encouragement has prompted me to do my best for adding to the gay porn review canon.

The site only has what little value left because we put our hard work into. New owners walk in as they always do, think they know better and fuck everything up.

I am glad my fellow members are OK with the site and have confidence in the new owners. Not this member is like a barrel of fucking monkeys. Who probably could do a better job. I do not buy for one second they give two shits about all the work we put into reviews and the community.


Ive said enough, I wish you all well. But I'm gone. Not going to bother wasting my time. This place can not be trusted if the reviews can not be either. Only the select long term members would i ever trust, it seems now the site wants numbers no matter how they get them.

To all my fellow members, its been a nice ride for 12 years. I wont be back.
To the owners and Administrators, thanks for fucking things up and ruining what once was awesome website.

Bye all closing my account after this post and I won't be back.


I also hope you change your mind. You've been a great contributor. There's a Ben Frankin quote: "Critics are our friends, they show us our faults" - I think you embody that well. All the best to you.

Some sort of helpful point of view has to be taken to say what good and bad points and more info than a couple of sentences. I do however feel that punctuation and grammar shouldn't come into it either though, hell I'd never get any reviews into the raffle if that was the case, I write my reviews from the heart and do put some effort into them but they are a million miles from what others who genuinely can write much better than me post on here.

There should be a system to spot the fake reviews though, totally needed.

With the ideas of changing the raffle, I actually think it should still be weekly and still be $100 1st and $50 for 2nd and 3rd. It just works well this way, I wouldn't want to see the 3rd prize be a membership.

Great to see some old names chipping into this thread, Porn Users is a special place on the web and has been a place I've visited lots over the past 12 years, work has been super busy of late so I get on when I can to check up on new reviews and the forum, it's always had this friendly tone and managed to keep away spam and trolls, long may this continue.


I just want to take a second and agree with elephant. I think it's healthy to question ways to improve the raffle but I don't want to see a good thing broken. I worry that a membership gift as a 3rd prize would become too difficult. Nothing is a welcome as cash - and Amazon is about as close to cash as you can find on the internet.

I am glad you brought up the topic of Miss Hybrid. I remember it well. I think that I have become hypersensitive regarding shills and trolls as a result. How that webmistress treated our members was a real travesty. I was afraid that the incident would be the downfall of PU. Anyone who was not here then is lucky to not have had that horrible experience. We must be vigilant that our site does not allow parasites to ruin what should be a great site.

I think we can make PU the best review site of any kind. We are already better than Amazon or Yelp reviews. Reddit is a site that I am not familiar with.

I will not go into what I have already complained about.
I don't want to be angry forever and I don't want to leave PU.


I really appreciate this community. And I think this discussion is a testament to something sadly lacking on the internet these days - civil disagreement and constructive conflict resolution.

Location: New York 		I have to say I always appreciate this community because the members do a pretty good job of being both frank and courteous. Ideas are kept constructive and the focus of criticism is on ideas and not individuals.

I enjoy the raffle and worry about making too many changes too fast. There are always unintended consequences.

For whatever my is worth - I'd rather keep the Amazon payout instead of moving to a free month membership. The Amazon gift card has always been a nice surprise. I think doing a membership would just add in too much complexity.

Anyway, I'm enjoying seeing all these ideas develop and thank you all for keeping your flamethrowers in the off position.

Because compression is applied across frames, the part that you save will be compressed differently, even if you use the exact same type of compression. It is like compressing the video a second time - more data is lost, and the picture quality becomes less clear.


Thank you for a very clear explanation. I of a process I've been using for years. While I haven't noticed much loss of quality, I bet I will when I upgrade my monitor.

I just wanted to echo Khan's sentiment. I'm sad to hear of you in discomfort, and please do see you on the forum again.

When I first become active on the forum you were one of the first to welcome me and make me feel at home. I am in your debt.

Please stay well-

Marc

There is NO WAY I'm gonna start paying for previews! I don't mind spending hardly earned money on monthly memberships but wasting some bucks here and there just to see previews... NO!

I don't get why BangBros is doing it...

Aren't they making enough profits already?


I don't want to misrepresent Bang Bros. Their main site does not charge for previews. Apparently the main assparade site does not charge for previews. However at least one of their urls did require it.

I don't know why there's different behavior on different urls for the same site; but there is.

I also appreciate the larger conversation on the topic.

You're also the 2nd or 3rd person to point out that Bangbros is not the reputable company I thought they were. Glad I'm seeing this as a warning sign.

I came across a bangbros site today (no small player in the porn world). That wanted $1 for previewing their content. While I've seen this on smaller sites before I always took it as a sign to stay away.

So my question is, do any of you pay to preview content? The said they wanted it for "age verification" but since they don't do that on their main site and so many other sites release true hardcore content without it, that seems a little disingenuous to me.

What are your thoughts?

I think you guys may be overreacting. I think there's plenty of quality reality (amateurs) out there, hell now more than ever.

I totally get the craziness of all girls looking the same (to me the worst is digital playground where I can't tell Bibi from the two other blonds that are in every movie with her)

I can think of at least 4 sites of the top of my head that have hot woman putting out great product (granted not for major studios so the release schedule is slower and the quality is not as fantastic - but with today's technology I've got no complains.

Am I just missing the boat?

This is a shining example of why I'm now the cynic I am. I keep hoping something will change and we'll start becoming a productive society again but... I don't see it happening anytime soon.


I've referenced George Carlin several times here (maybe I'll add one his quips as my signature). Anyway you made me think of this one:

"Think of how stupid the average person is - then realize half of them, are stupider than THAT."

Gotta love a joke that's also mathematically accurate

Desirae, from Naughty At Home, made a clarification on her blog that she is still updating (hooray!) after I questioned that her on PU, but that's not direct contact.

Location: New York 		I'm glad this came up. I didn't know I could look at PU's staff notes. Thanks this has been helpful in improving my reviews (I hope anyway).

Location: New York 		Thank you all for your understanding. It was an honest and stupid mistake. I'm embarrassed to say I multiplied by 4 instead of the correct number... 12. It really made for some distorted numbers. Even after Pat tried helping me figure out why I had such different numbers from another reviewer I didn't catch the error.

It really was just me being a dumbass.

Anyway thank you all for being kind. You embody the all that is good in a community.
