No problem, I figured you guys had your reasons. I dealt with the previous owners, and they seemed rather sane, but I know not about the new guys or any problems associated with them. The front page just seems to be a rather long winded and smug version of the usual "Don't Enter Unless 18" but I can see it might be a cause for concern. At least they were still doing the caption contest for awhile... "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

RetroRaunch (which oddly I just noticed is not listed on Porn Users) is a great place to find old porn. Its material ranges from the 1880s to the 1970s. If you are looking for 1980s there are plenty of sites dedicated to that. Then there is retro-reenactment porn as well in the form of Martha's Girls, but again, they focus more on older styles. I recommend their site highly, though the resolution of their images is rather low. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

Honestly I'm leaning more and more toward streaming video these days, but I'm usually disinclined to join a site that doesn't at least offer 720p video (1280x720) at a high quality variable bit rate.

This day has come and gone already: Traci Lords leapt that hurdle years ago, and nor was she the first. Marilyn Chambers immediately comes to mind, but she stayed in mainstream films only briefly before committing full-time to pornography. None-the-less, many pornographic performers have dabbled in mainstream film and of course Wikipedia has a list: Wikipedia: Pornographic Actors Who Appeared in Mainstream Films And just to be fair: AmIAnnoying.com: Mainstream Actors Who Appeared in Pornographic Films (and yes, Cameron Diaz actually does belong on that list.)

For some opinions from women in the industry, check out this video by Behind Kink: Are Those Real?: The Great Breast Debate If you haven't run across Kink's behind the scenes site before, I highly recommend it. Kink is run by a bunch of rather clever and well educated people that think quite about porn and BDSM and how it fits into today's world. Their videos are often quite interesting and if nothing else, quite entertaining. As for my own opinions on Breast Augmentation, I'd only recommend it to breast cancer survivors and girls with the apply nicknamed "flap jacks" (which may be the result of malnutrition during adolescent development). Otherwise, big or small or nearly non-existent, they are all better than 99% of the breast implants I've seen. There are always a few exceptions, but the abominations by far outweigh the success stories. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

My pleasure Milla is a woman of many talents (model, singer, actress, et cetera). I'm looking forward to the upcoming Resident Evil release, even if the last movie was quite rough to get through. I wish they'd bring back the director of the 2nd film as that was by far my favorite. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

Every single Resident Evil movie so far has featured nudity by Milla; one advantage of a fashion models turned actresses is that they are rarely prudish about nudity. The first Resident Evil actually featured an infamous "twat shot" (Milla's own words from the DVD commentary) though it was only a few frames and almost not noticeable. Mainly her movies focus on her endearing (in my opinion) but astonishingly long nipples. She and Bai Ling have that section of the market poked into a corner. Milla's most nudity saturated film to date is the rather terrible .45 - the only reason to see it is the copious nudity. Return to Blue Lagoon's DVD "censoring" only applies to one topless scene and it was due to the ridiculous decision to crop a high quality 4:3 copy into 16:9 (giving the editors the choice of showing her breasts or her face) rather than tracking down the original 1.85:1 ratio theatrical release. At any rate, if you are looking for nice quality nude pics of the lovely Ms. Jovovich, check out a nude set she did for Purple magazine as a sort of "back to work" announcement after the pregnancy during which she packed on an admirable (for baby health) but whopping 62 lbs.! Being a workaholic (and having a personal trainer that cooked her meals) she was back to her toned-muscle, pre-pregnancy weight of 130 in a mere 8 months. This is the rather fantastic result.

Adult DVD Empire provides downloading of these videos, but they are hellishly expensive at $20 a pop. Of course, that is a one time fee as it is a DRM-free download. Here is the link to all the Sweet Sinner DVDs they carry. They have all of Nica Noelle's directorial contributions. www.adultdvdempire.com/porn-videos/93398/sweet-sinner-studios.html Note, I found this pretty quickly using the "IMDB" of porn, the beloved Internet Adult Film Database (iafd). You simply click on the formats listed next to the movie titles (if you are looking up performer, director or studio - otherwise it is at the bottom of the page). It will have a V, D, R and/or O for VHS, DVD, Rental and/or Video-On-Demand. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

Glad to be back I agree, that sounds like a very probable future. Hell, in 20 years, I wouldn't be surprised if you can actually buy porn through iTunes. The sad thing is I think when porn becomes mainstream enough, a lot of the smaller "mom & pop" porn sites will go under.

That site looks quite humorous and awesome, thanks for the link - I'll have to check that out one of these days for sure 
I agree a number of guys seem obsessed with proving they aren't gay for god-knows what reason. For me, interest in these sites is mainly because it creates the same illusion that TS sites aim for, but sometimes more successfully. TS models are trying to look female everywhere but the genitals (and frankly that is usually just for a lack of funding). But most of the time the waist and jaw structure and bizarre butt implants fracture the illusion of femininity. By simply adding a fake penis to real females, it is an easier method of maintaining the illusion. Why hunt down a spectacular TS when you can just fake one? Sadly, the best TS sites are ladyboy sites that rarely have the TS topping females, which has always been my favorite sub-genre of the TS genre. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

It has always bugged me to no end that the Times requires one to register their email address for access to much of their free site. I think they may have finally stopped that practice, but their website remains a bit tainted in my mind because of those years of aggravation. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

I honestly believe Streaming is going to be nearly the only the way porn is going to be distributed in a few years. Internet Connections are becoming so reliable that people aren't even renting DVDs what with Netflix watch instant (now available in HD) and Hulu (who keeps promising HD). A lot of "old timers" like myself don't want to admit it, but the era of downloading and keeping a giant treasure trove of porn is coming to an end outside of the DVD market - which will eventually die too. With streaming content providers can armor themselves with massive amounts of DRM with little to no impact to the viewer (think Microsoft Silverlight). I think this will slowly kill off the free tube sites as their content sources dry up and in the end will drop the price of porn as less "free" porn will be available. More gross profit among the producers will give them the ability to knock down membership fees to combat competition with other sites. It is a good and bad future, but it seems to be inevitable at this point. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

Three teenage girls are waiting in line for confession at their church, each dreading the scolding and penance they are to receive from the Priest waiting in the booth. The girl steps into the booth and says: "Forgive me Father for I have sinned. Yesterday after a party I gave a hand job to my boyfriend billy." The priest shook his head and said: "That is a grave sin, my dear, but say fifty Hail Mary's and wash your hands in the Holy Water and you will be forgiven." The girl thanks the priest, steps out of the booth and promptly begins washing her hands in the Holy Water. Upon seeing this the third girl asks the second girl if she can go confess before her. The second girl inquires as the reason for this request to which the third girl replies: "I want to get forgiven for my sins, but I'm certainly not going to drink that water after you've sat in it."

I think the only solution is to request that the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) gets involved and carefully classifies pornography. I'd recommend the classification number of ISO 69 or ISO 8005 (old calculator joke) but alas, both are already in use. Off topic, but Ed2009 - is that a thinly veiled reference to that lovely Robocop droid, the beloved ED-209?

Amusingly that Wikipedia page lists a nudist camp that is local to my home town - they always have a float in the various town parades - usually some sort of tongue-in-cheek theme, so to speak. Interestingly, the camp is located on Sun Lane right off of Lick Street. Honest. Technically in any New York State Park it is legal for women to go topless, I wouldn't recommend trying it at a park that doesn't have a regular group topless folks visiting it though because locals can get mighty angry about such behavior and be a real pain-in-the-ass despite the legal nature of the behavior.

Well I will stride against the tide and say that I appreciate tattoos - but I will insert a caveat: I'm only a fan if the ink is done well by a skilled and creative artist and applied to an attractive girl in an effective location. Basically, my feeling is that a fit girl can make be made more interesting and especially attractive with the careful application of quality tattoos and piercings. After reading through the posts, I can rather confidently state that there are a shortage of fans of Suicide Girls among the posters, however I find that site to be a great archive of interesting tattoos and piercings. I'm a huge fan of nipple piercings, more so than I am of tattoos - but alas, the specific variety I like (ring or bull-style 3/4 ring piercings) are less common, most girls settling for the straight stud. The key to all of this is the quality and creativity of the body modification work that has been done. The main point of body modification in the western world is to stand-out from the crowd, and yet as aforementioned by numerous posters there is a glut of "tramp stamps", single-stud nose piercings, belly-button piercings, barb-wire tattoos, "tribal" tattoos and so on. The recent upsurge in body modification popularity means it is exceptionally difficult to stand-out from the crowd using this method. Interestingly, not long ago (60's & 70's) the Mental Health community found there was direct correlation between the number of tattoos on a person's body and their psychopathy rating. A high rating would mean they are a psychopath. At the time they would have said sociopath, however that term is now outdated. Just like New York State changed the Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities (OMRDD) to the Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) - retardation just isn't politically correct. Well I deny them! I will still call that planet "your anus"! But I digress. A tattoo phenomena that seems to be still rather rare in western culture is a variety based off of Indian Henna. Done well it can be quite captivating in my opinion. I think my overarching statement is that quality of the work is very important. The rise of tattoo popularity means that a lot of sub-par artists are getting work as tattooists when they should really be pursing a different occupation, maybe Rodeo Clown... or a Tea Bagger Liaison for Sarah Palin. Wait, that job might actually be more entertaining than I first thought. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

A nifty little site I ran across recently (though it is in fact quite old) is 10MinuteMail.com. They give you an email address for 10 minutes, and you can renew it for 10 minutes at a time. It is great for joining free sites that you don't trust spam-wise. Like the New York Times. On a side note: Holy Crikey Pants! That's a lot of smilies! And look at all these little options!

It was a smart move in posting to the 2008 PU Awards thread - as it awoke the Toadsith. I thought I'd build up a new avatar to mark the occasion. The PU Hindenburg hasn't quite gotten off the ground yet, I'm thinking of retrofitting a large caravan, inspired by James May's attempt. Though I'd rather use a real airship instead of a hot air balloon, landings are a bit more controlled that way... Nor have I had a chance to see the new version of "The Prisoner", though it's rather bland critical reception doesn't make it much of a priority I think. Still, I'm a bit curious. Also, I promised Tiger there wouldn't be any comments. So let's stick to that. I'm glad to see the forum is still thriving, I'll try to work it back into my routine. I'm sure there is some interesting discussion I can veer off into the realm of the mega-tangent. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

I've been quiet, not absent. :-) I'm still lurking on the forum at least once a week (been super busy lately) but yeah, I really haven't been doing any reviews much lately. Largely because I haven't really been joining any new sites for the most part - just continuing with some oldie but goodies mostly, if any.

Under "Tools" click "Preferences". The Preferences window will pop up with 6 large icons on the left side if you are in "Simple" settings. (Change modes in the lower left hand corner where it says "Show settings" - selections are "Simple" or "All".) Click on the "Video" icon, this will take you to the Video Settings. On that tab, you should see a section near the bottom outlined and labeled "Video snapshots". It will have a text box labeled "Directory" with a "Browse..." button next to it - click that and choose the directory to save the files into. The "Prefix" text box you can simply type in and this will be added to the front of the snapshot's filename, I usually stick with the default one. I recommend checking the "Sequential numbering" check box so you can take many snapshots per video without it overwriting them. You can change the format with the drop down box labeled "Format" - choices are just png or jpg.
As for this, there are a number of possible reasons, but I find for my computer it runs best if, in the "Video Settings" section labeled "Display" the following are selected: * Skip frames * Accelerated video output (Overlay) * Window decorations Output --> DirectX 3D video output Uncheck this one: o Use hardware YUV->RGB conversions "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Odd, that's what I get for trusting some bloody free image hosting service. Here it is on my own server: http://www.toadsith.com/desktop_2009_8_1.jpg "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

In all honesty I pretty rarely have desktop images up at home as they eat resources and nobody else sees them on my home rig. At work I always had them. Anyway, when I got the new monitor a few months ago I went through a bit of a desktop image phase, here is my current desktop with an image I used for a good while.

As stated above, all the cleaning wipes that specify use on LCD monitors should be fine. The air can should also be fine most of the time, but do be aware that it can move those particles with tremendous force, so it can have the effect of a sand blaster if you are unlucky and lead to permanent scoring of the screen's surface. Two things you must never use on an LCD screen: Ammonia and/or Alcohol. They will stain or even dissolve the plastic. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Well there's your problem, mate - you gotta look back into the older films and trust Netflix's recommendation system. Once you've done a good number of ratings, at least a hundred or so, then the recommendation system starts getting quite reliable. Think of it like training voice recognition programs, the more you teach it, the better it gets. I've rated over 1400 movies to help it along. Consequently, I've got over 400 movies in my queue - hell, I've got over 100 in my Watch Instant queue as well, and they have another 4000 they are recommending I watch, lol There are tons of classics, foreign films and all sorts of bizarre stuff - it is hard to fathom the sheer volume of content they carry.

They liked that system, and then they realized it was expensive, lol In regards to repair shops, just leave the hard drive with the porn at home. Then there is nothing to find. Even if you don't have an external drive, removing an internal drive is cake. A few screws and two cables. Modern computers are like Legos with screws. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Oh yes! Much trouble! Trouble with a capital "T" and that rhymes with "P" and that stands for "Porn"! It's all true: I'm sick, but happy. I smile, I grin, when the gal with a touch of sin walks in. Anywho, I've been a damn bit busy lately, so I shall lurk in the shadows... working on that movie list, muhahaha! Oh - and I've upgraded from socks to muppets. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Try Webroot's Window Washer - it shreds (scrubs, whatever) data beyond the DoD's requirements. My paranoid father has been using it for years. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

It may increase the costs involved using credit cards, but the credit score's importance isn't about credit cards for the most part - but rather loans. Buying a car, or a house, going back to school, starting a business - all of these loans can be directly and strongly affected by your credit score. In regards to credit cards, my guess is there will be a sudden drop off of rewards programs, fee free cards, and grace periods and then they will slowly come back as the cards continue to compete with each other.

The big thing that the bill may help is consumers' credit scores. High interest rates and constant lowering of the credit limit as the consumer pays off the card means their credit score never improves (since their card seems always near the limit), despite their good behavior.

How about most of England? Lots of people, but lots of land too - and England, despite its love of convertibles, has plenty of rain and wind :-) "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!" Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

Well sure, only specifications wouldn't be a review, it would be a status report. I would hope that anybody new to this site and finding this thread would read the whole thread and not just read the very specific "cheat sheets". The point of a cheat sheet is to be a reference guide, not an educator. The rest of the text on this thread is the education aspect. If you go back to my original posting of my own cheat sheet, you'll find a rather lengthy discussion of all of the elements covered in the cheat sheet and then some. Also, note that I did not state that the Pros & Cons be exclusively specs, just mostly. The problem with putting much opinion in the pros and cons is that it is hard to put down a useful and clear opinion in a bulleted point - not impossible though by any means. I just find it more effective in the bottom line. Also, the specs are much better suited to be placed in the pros & cons as specific little details. I understand that most people don't feel like collecting all the specs that the cheat sheets suggest, hell - that is part of the reason I don't review too frequently. The cheat sheet is merely a good way of pointing out aspects of the site they may have forgotten to research. Looking into those parts may change their outlook on the site. As for my signature, I suppose it does pertain to your stance in that way - though I really picked the whole "Prisoner" theme due to the constant censorship campaigns that threaten porn. Still, a site is more than its numbers - this is true - and while I've never understood what a four barrel blood pump has to do with it, opinion should be the main show in a good review.

Actually it can't - not accurately. While it is important to say that the review shouldn't be entirely made up of technical specifications, the Pros & Cons should mostly consist of this. The Bottomline is the place for long opinion and discussion, but a number of accurate specifications prior to it can do a world of good. For example, TBP does a great job with their specs, but they only update so often. So I can compare their specs with a recent review on PU and get a good idea of if the site has been consistent with its updates, if it quality has had an recent improvements and so on. The advantage of PU is that popular sites are reviewed much more frequently on other review sites, so if people remember to keep in mind the technical specs, then we will have a long history of a site's development. Being able to see that a site has continually made progress and updated allows users to buy with confidence. What's not useful to me is when people list in the Pros "lots of hot girls" for one man's definition doesn't always match with an other's. Opinion should be available, but for a truly top notch review, I believe it should start with fact. For opinion to be useful, it needs elaboration. There are users that define beauty as young, shaved and thin - and others that want mature, curvy and natural - if the "hot girls" aren't described as such, how is a user to know which they'll be getting? The preview pages may provide an accurate glimpse into the site, or they may be misleading - so the review should describe the site without the user having to check out the preview page at all. The basic point is that you can have both opinions and technical specs in the same review. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Quebec is a lovely city. I was wondering: Do you speak French? Myself, I'm a typical American and only speak English. Rather sad, but true. That said, I'll be going back to Montreal soon, rather looking forward to it, it's another lovely city :-) Also, I'm with Khan, what's the other use for Preparation H these days?
