Thanks for the quick response. I know you guys have a LOT of site reviews to manage, but there really needs to be a better way to deal with this type of situation where a site changes its domain name, especially when the old domain name is still active. By not attaching an old domain to a new one, you are inadvertently aiding and abetting those really awful sites that change their name to evade bad reviews and deceive people into signing up for something again. At the same time, this process means that well established and highly rated sites that change their domain name for other reasons are treated like new sites with unknown reputations. Seems like the bad guys win here.
Hegre-Art.com actively links to this new hegre.com domain and the format and content hasn't changed at all. As a member for many years, I didn't even notice that the name had changed because all of my bookmarks still work. In TBP and PU The search for Hegre-Art returns a not-found or a message that says the site is no longer active. Totally not true. Even a search reference as simple as "This site is now X" would be helpful.
On the other hand, I have signed up for a couple of sites that have had no review only to find that it is the exact same crummy site that I had signed up for before where only the domain name had changed. This isn't common, but it does happen, especially among small niche sites.
So, unfortunately, the limitations of the TBP/PU system not being able to cross-reference site names are doing a disservice to your viewers. From my perspective, you are inadvertently helping these bad sites deceive people while hurting the really good, well established ones that change their name for other reasons. As the Consumer Reports of porn, I know you can come up with a better way.
I went ahead and created an updated review so that at least there is a PU score associated with the new domain name.

Pros:
Easily one of the top 5 softcore sites on the Internet.
Models are 18-25-ish, generally petite Europeans...all of them are fit.
Lots of popular European models plus a bunch of newbies and exclusive models.
Very nicely done sets and videos.
Mostly studio shoots with minimal props.
Navigation, search and voting (with "likes") are all pretty good.
Extra features of the site include orgasm videos, tantric massage and some "tutorials" that you have to see to appreciate.
Daily updates.
Images available in up to 10000k!
Nearly 300,000 images!
Sets dating back to 2002.
Cons:
The photography, which is about 80% of what goes on at the site, is often studio work shot in a plain, white studio. This is intended to show off the models, which are often amazing, but it can get a little monotonous sometimes.
Bottom Line:
Hegre.com, formerly Hegre-Art.com, is an excellent softcore photography site with some interesting and remarkable features. It differs from a lot of other sites in that Peter Hegre usually just wants to show you how amazing the female form can be. He does this very, very well! The girls are generally beautiful and the photography is often stunning. Most of the imagery is excellent.
This site is dominated by really well done single model photo shoots and softcore single-model videos. Most of the models are stunning and the photography is among the best anywhere. The models are probably mostly 20-25 with a few 18 year olds in the mix. I think the point here is that this is NOT a teen or hard core site. It pays homage to the best of the female form. The models are all ethnicity, often very shapely (probably some of the best breasts on the net here) and generally very fit. (I just looked through the last few months of sets and can not find a single model that doesn't look like she wakeboards or kite-surfs....translation...not an ounce of fat on any of these models anywhere. Really. None!)
Models are usually completely nude throughout the set, but the shoots are conservative, meaning very few close-ups, spread eagles, etc.
(Although some sets called explicit really are pretty explicit.) The majority of images are full body, natural pose shots. These models don't need a lot of props or pretense. Unlike a lot of other sites, most of these models don't have a bad side or angle. Still.....I do find myself wishing they would turn around if they are going to pose in a crab or bridge position like that....
There are beach/outdoor scenes and a handful of group shots where it appears a gang of girls was rounded up and shipped off someplace exotic for photo shoots. Again, these are not romps, but more like showcases for the models and the photographer. It isn't ALSscan because it isn't supposed to be.
.....still, even without overt posing, close-ups, etc., there is often something here that will float your boat. Peter Hegre and his staff are masters at showing the bests of the female form. There are a few pretty exclusive models here that are as amazing as any you will ever see elsewhere and some of the sets and behind the scene videos, like Ana S. standing nude near the Eiffel Tower, are simply unforgettable.
The signature item for the site is erotic massage, basically taking a beautiful girl, covering her with oil and giving her a professional massage, complete with happy ending. These are nicely and professionally done, with no talking, no artificial moaning and no acting involved. There are sessions like this with men, too along with some other unusual sets or videos ending with a male-model orgasm.
There are close to 300,000 images in about 4500 galleries dating back as far as 2002! The images from that time-frame, although generally good quality and consistent with the theme of the web site, are small by today's standards at about 2000x1320 max.
If you are into large images, this site has some of the largest and best on the net, some as large as 7500x10000 pixels (That's close enough to see pores or print it out for an image that is over 11 feet tall at 72dpi!). Do you want to line your closet with life-sized images of amazing women just standing there in totally naked splendor. This site is your nirvana, then.
There are, on average, about 4 sizes per image ranging from very small to larger-than-life. Older sets have almost-as-large-as-life images.
I would recommend this site to anyone who is tired of the teenybopper or hardcore porn sites and is just looking for a place to appreciate the amazing female form for a while. It is every bit as good as Femjoy, Watch4Beauty or MPL studios and at its best may be better than Met-Art. ...just take the massage-orgasm videos as a bonus!
Hegre.com, formerly Hegre-art.com is an excellent minimalist softcore site that has been around since 2002, publishing at least 1 new set every day since then. I previously wrote at least 1 review for it. Unfortunately, somebody at TBP completely wiped out the reviews for the old site name (even though the URL still works) so this site has no reviews. What's up with that?
I think an answer that is missing is "I just go where the surfing takes me" I sometimes start on Reddit and just browse around until I find something interesting with a watermark on it, then I go to the watermark site to see what it's about. I have found some really interesting sites that way.
There are several videos on my favorites list where the girl un-mounts the guy and cum drops out of her. To me, this is the ultimate straight male "mission accomplished" ending.
I picked feet also, but I don't like seeing bolt-on boobs, belly fat, puffed up lips or bad tattoos. I prefer girls without any tattoos but I also have to admit that sometimes really great tattoos contribute a lot to a girl's mystique.
My comment below still holds. This site and many others by this site management group offer a standard or discounted price for membership that ONLY allows browsing and streaming. I've seen other sites from other companies that have a special streaming-only price, but to charge $10 a month more for the ability to download images is absurd. I recall a representative saying that "most of our customers prefer streaming and don't want to download" which, of course, is complete bullshit. This is a cash-grab bait and switch and I recommend that nobody sign up until this management company changes this stupid tactic or fails.
Onyx, I am still evaluating the site, but right now I would put it in the middle of the pack as far as VR sites go. The site layout is nice, with tags listing the types of things going on in each video, but there is no scoring or ranking, just a thumbs up count. The videos are competent but some of the B/G scenes are not POV at all, which is pretty weird. None of the Images in the image libraries are POV. Instead, they are pretty much promo shots including some with the male actually holding a VR headset to his face. There are several top females on the site, but there are also some...I'll call them unusual...videos as well. For example there is a Nina Hartley VR video. Nina was a boss porn star and still looks pretty good, but she is, what, 59 now? Maybe there's a niche for that, I don't know. The preview is pretty representative of the girls on the site. In general, the girls are much younger and much better looking than, say, Naughty America, but VRHush only releases one new VR video a week, in general. The site shows promise but still needs some tweaking and some polish. I'll get to a review within the next week or two.
I'm going to say site previews first, then PU review (if any) then TBP reviews. Sometimes, I'll see a site review on PU or TBP that will make me go to the site and look. And sometimes, I'll see an interesting image or model on a site like Reddit and go to the site to look, then PU and TBP. Any site that doesn't have at least some representation of what is in it usually gets an immediate pass.
I'm looking at this site and realize it is a pay-per-download site, which is simply not an acceptable site format in my book. A single download costs $9.95, with 5 videos costing $24.99 or $4.99 each. They have over 120 videos, so that means you would pay $600 to get them all. No thanks.
With so many other great VR sites, the idea that I'm spending at least $5 a video at this site is ridiculous. Some of the videos look pretty good, too, but I wont be visiting until the pricing model changes.
I think it is fairly normal for men to look at porn but I do not broadcast it to anyone. The way the opinions and norms change in the US today, you never really know if something that is marginally acceptable today will get you fired from a job or denied credit 20 years from now. I'm not a public figure, but you never know what somebody might dig up at some point in the future.
For the most part, sex is the 4th conversational taboo behind politics, religion and money. I share those 4 topics with a very small group of friends and relatives and we rarely agree on any of them.
I'm a straight white guy. I watch VR porn all the time. It is VERY realistic and often your body just sort of aligns with the male in the video. Then I look down and go "Holy shit, look at the size of my dick!" or "Holy crap" look at my giant tattoo?" or, occasionally "Holy crap, I'm black!" So, yeah, the aesthetics of the male performer are very important in a VR setting.
For solo sets, I'm going to say in and out of or near water. That can be a tub, pool, wet-studio set or beach. For sex scenes, the bedroom is the place to be. For VR stuff, a Chaise lounge or bed is the optimal setting.
This will sound odd, but do you remember the last time you went out on a first date and it went well? There was sort of this positive anticipation vibe. Remember it? It was kind of euphoric. I am pretty sure there is some kind of endorphin that gets released when we see a really beautiful, fresh, new model and that we are constantly looking for new faces or sometimes new sets of favorite faces in part to experience the release of that endorphin again. Regardless of whether there is...um...gratification involved, looking at gorgeous faces and bodies makes us sort of high.
Well, after looking at what was available, I downloaded the material I want and some of that was the picture sets since I last joined. Looking back at my history, I have about 42,000 images that were all downloaded in zip files. That's about 28 gigs of unzipped images and I would guess that this is about 80% of the images on the site.

Pros:
Several very popular Czech nude models here
Site layout is decent
Updates every other day or so.
Top notch photography
Models are tastefully done-up
As the name implies, this is a glamour site.
Cons:
All of the sets are older.
Site sometimes makes you log in again.
Kind of pricey for what you get.
Not all models are fully nude.
Most sets are not very explicit.
Downloads are very, very slow.
Sets are not dated, just numbered.
No original shoot dates.
Bottom Line:
Glamour.CZ is a fairly well done site overall, similar to the photographer-centric sites in the Met Art network, probably most similar to Arrotica Archives. The models are familiar and most are OMG beautiful, Iveta, Little Caprice, Monika Vesela (104 sets!), even a bunch (33 sets) from Marketa Bolonova(which is why I joined). But although the sets are generally very good to excellent, they are older material. Monika and Marketa have not been modeling for at least 8 years, probably more like 10+.
The overall format of the site is model-centric, so if you go to a model page, you will see a listing of all o the sets and some thumbnails. Click on a set and you will see thumbnails of every image in that set.
Most of the sets are not very explicit, although the models do look pretty amazing just posing. Monika Vesela, who is known for relatively explicit sets elsewhere, is for the most part just standing around in most of her 104 sets here. She is quite young in several sets, but they are not in any kind of order. All of Marketa's sets are from later in her career and when she was no longer very explicit. This is well done glam stuff mostly.
This is an image-only site and images come in small and large. Large is 4000x2666. No idea what small is. Downloads are very, very, VERY slow. A 145MB zip file takes about 12 minutes to download. Images take painfully long to display. I can almost hear the modem crackle.
Sets are between 25 and 45 images each and it is fair to say that they break up sets a little....well...a lot.
Overall, this isn't a bad site, especially if you fancy some of the models that they seem to have a lot of. Go browse through the model directory in the free section. If there is anyone there that you lust over, go ahead and sign up.
I just signed up again for ITC at the 1080p download price of $34 a month. I was pleased to see some 3d videos for some of the girls so I started to download a few of those. Unfortunately for me, these files are larger than the standard files and within 10 MINUTES OF JOINING I hit my download limit for the hour, which was 10GB. In real 3d, one file can be 10GB... What's even worse is that I only actually downloaded 1 3D VIDEO before the thing shut me down. I could not even stream the videos and could not download images. That REALLY SUCKS! Checking the pricing matrix, the claim is that a 1080p file is 2.2gigs. That means that you can download files at just about the speed you can watch them. The only way to get unlimited downloads is to sign up for the unlimited 4K membership at $70 a month. So, rather than have an annual membership like I do at several other sites, I'm forced to sign up here once a year because they don't have annual memberships, and then I'm penalized because I didn't pay nearly what an annual membership would cost at other sites in order to the last year's worth of material. Very, very sleazy accounting here. Would I pay $120 for an annual membership? Probably but I asked and they don't have one. Instead, they want me to pay $70 for ONE MONTH so I can get more than about a months' worth of material. With all the top notch sites and excellent values out there, this is really bad accounting and marketing.
ITC Webmaster, your download metering limits are the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen on the Internet and I've seen a lot! I'm sure you have some great excuse for screwing me this way but it still screws me. Too bad. As I've said, I like your site, but I really hate this marketing strategy.
I'm looking at the pages I can see (not at all a tour or set of samples) and I recognize a lot of models that have not been shooting since 2011 or earlier. Awesome models, but long gone from this business.
Can anyone tell me if they are updating and, if so, is it new shoot material or archive stuff?
Halloween has always been a big holiday for me and I live in a neighborhood where we get between 300-400 trick-or-treating kids, so I go all out. There are also a couple of parties that I enjoy every year.
Television really sucks these days and I just don't have time for it except for watching the news in the morning. Even the DIY shows are getting crappy. I would have turned it off long ago if my wife wasn't addicted to a bunch of shows.
I'm also a long-term member of Met Art. Beautiful young models, no ink, etc. Vixen has recently joined my list of good sites, although they only update once a week. The POVD network is up there. And lastly, some of the VR sites are getting much better.
