Funny how so many members here at PU have the same problem. Yet the webmaster always says it's everybody else's problem but his.
I didn't even get near the download limit and I was locked out, presumably because I had a dodgy internet connection at the time and my IP number changed.
Webmaster ignored my emails until I got CCBill involved, then he was very quick to start preaching about the terms and conditions without actually telling me which of the terms and conditions I broke.
But yeah, whatever, his system is infallible (apparently), he never receives our emails (apparently) and of course, it only affects 99% of members (but 100% of PU members it seems...)
The webmaster of Bryci insists his system is infallible and that everyone here has not read the terms and conditions. Absolutely ridiculous, and although I'm sorry you've had problems too, I'm happy I'm not the only one to have problems.
I'm glad Twisty's managed to sort the problem out. I think that's what's annoying me in that I absolutely know I didn't break the T&Cs, and I'm sure with a bit of investigation the Bryci webmaster would have seen that, but he was on the defensive straight away and to be honest, don't think he could be bothered investigating. He's very quick to call people liars though.
I totally understand webmasters protecting their content, but clearly it's not an exact science. I find it 'strange' that this has clearly happened at least twice with Bryci's website, and that's just with members here.
The webmaster called me a liar too, even though I absolutely did not share my password or download anything approaching that limit. He says '10 videos doesn't get you banned' yet it did. So something's wrong.
Even when I love a model I am choosy about what I download and have never ever hit download limits on any of the websites I have ever joined.
The only mitigating factor I could think of in my circumstance was that I had problems with my internet connection so maybe my IP number changed. The webmaster wouldn't even entertain that notion and did his whole 'if you read the T&Cs...' spiel.
It's among the worst customer service I have ever experienced at a website, and it almost put me off ever joining a website again. I'm still incredibly bitter about the fact I was treated like a criminal.
See, this is the attitude I was going on about. I took the time to explain what happened to the webmaster, but it just kept getting dismissed over and over again and treated like a thief.
I'm pretty sure the server banned me because my IP number changed. That's fine, I understand that. My ADSL connection at the time was awful and kept dropping so presumably I kept getting another IP number (it has now been fixed, I got a nice new shiney router for Christmas)
It certainly wouldn't have been me ripping content. I never ever rip content, not even for my personal use. I'm choosy about what I download.
I have just looked in my Bryci folder and there is 1.66gb (11 videos).
I absolutely did not share my password. Absolutely not. I could account for every video I downloaded from the site. I listed them all in an email to admin.
I asked what evidence there was to ban me and this was never answered, I just kept getting preachy soundbites about "if I read the T&Cs..." like above.
I kept asking which T&C I broke, and was just fobbed off and told I shared the password. Which I didn't.
It made me so angry as I was honestly a genuine member. I think the website is outstanding with lots of incredible content in, in that respect I would recommend it to anyone, and it was definitely the kind of website I could see myself becoming a long term member of.
I know you probably think I'm a liar or thief or whatever. There's enough out there. But I am absolutely none of these things, and definitely didn't break any of the terms and conditions, definitely not through downloading 10 gig a day! I don't think I've ever downloaded that much!
Being accused of (at best...) breaking the terms and conditions when you know you haven't, and haven't been given any evidence or reason is such a horrible feeling.
Was a member approx. 4 months prior to this review.
Pros:
- Bryci is incredible hot with a great body
- Lots of content, good balance of pics and vids
- Good value with lots of other girls too
Cons:
Awful webmaster. I had problems with my ADSL and my IP number was blocked. No problem I thought, and emailed the webmaster. He basically called me a liar and a thief and wouldn't humour me at all. I understand the need to protect content, but the way it was dealt with was totally over the top. I explained what happened, even listed the 10-or-so videos I had downloaded to prove only I had been a member but he wouldn't even listen. A huge shame as it's a great site
Bottom Line:
An incredible website but let down by an incredibly arrogant webmaster. It was a huge shame because it was definitely the kind of website I could see myself joining and rejoining constantly.
Yes, totally. It's a good example of joining the site for the MODEL, not for the CONTENT. I think Carmen looks incredible, but it's definitely a site to join once and then never again. I would have given another 5 points had it not had claims that it was being updated weekly with HD videos.
Just to let anyone reading this review know that the trial is no longer full access - videos are excluded, and you have to upgrade membership to get to them.

Pros:
- Carmen is super-hot with a great body
- Good balance of photos and videos
- Nice mix of content, mainly blowjobs and sex
- Two good bonus sites which you'll love if you like Carmen
- Everything is downloadable with no apparent restrictions
Cons:
- Trial is limited to just photos (no videos)
- Site is no longer updating
- 'HD' videos aren't HD
- Navigation is pretty basic, not a huge problem because...
- ...Not much content relatively speaking
- Bonus sites also not updating
- No ZIPs of photos, and pics aren't huge
Bottom Line:
Carmen looks incredible, but the site is dead and honestly, there's not much to it. It's definitely frozen in time in most respects - quality of content, size of member's area etc.
The preview area claims that she 'posts new HD videos every week' which is a false claim in two respects; the videos aren't HD, and the website is no longer updating.
There's a one-day trial available for $0.95 which is what I chose, and despite what dubya says in his review, it is no longer full access and limits you to just the photo galleries. Clicking onto the video pages will prompt you to upgrade your membership.
To do so is pretty easy, and within 30 minutes, you have full access to Carmen's site.
The two main sections once in the member's area are Pictures and Movies.
There's also links to: Personal Email, Forum (not posted in since 2010), Store (just a link to vivid.com), Friends (just links to Melissa Midwest and Sweet Adri) and Bonus Content.
Bonus Content includes links to feeds/content from: Black on White Adventures, Creampie Virgin, Day in the Hood, Lesbian Hookups, Milf Banged, Parties Exposed, Throat Banged, Munch My Ass, Perfect Round Asses, My Favourite Hand Job, Nice Round Boobs and Booty Like That - frankly, all pretty trashy in my opinion.
Pictures:
There are 54 galleries, all navigatable from one page with a thumbnail preview for each (and no description).
The pictures are decent quality, normally cataloguing a sex scene, masturbation scene, lesbian posing or a blowjob. Some start off candid style photos of her at an arcade or something, before cutting to a BJ/sex scene etc later with her in the same outfit.
Pictures are 1161 pixels on their longest side and have a medium-sized (about 300x50px) watermark. The quality of photos seems consistent throughout the size.
The galleries are all decent sized, ranging from 100 to (in some cases) over 400 images. Unfortunately there's no ZIP downloads available.
Movies:
The navigation page for movies is identical to the gallery page in that exactly the same thumbnails are used for the 54 movies available from her site.
The thumbnails are obviously images from the galleries, so although the content is roughly the same, don't rely on that 'money shot' necessarily being part of the video. Likewise, some thumbnails imply the video will be a candid style video but are just a solo video etc of her in the same outfit as in the thumbnail. It's not a huge deal, but it's a bit annoying sometimes to download a video you're not expecting.
All videos are WMV format. There's no way to preview prior to downloading, and all videos are 448x252 pixels in size. The quality is not too bad, and the content is much the same as the photos. She's a pretty good performer, and great to watch.
Bonus Sites:
You also get full membership to Hailey Hardcore and Candy Skye. If you like Carmen, you will like both of these sites too, particularly Hailey Hardcore who's basically a brunette version of Carmen.
Bottom Line:
Overall it's not a bad site so long as you know what you're getting for your money. The content is basic, there are no updates, but Carmen is *hot as*, and Hailey Hardcore is definitely a huge bonus and equally as hot as Carmen.

Pros:
- Includes hardcore cam shows
- You can enjoy it for free
- Typically cheaper than MFC
- Models can set their own private rate-per-minute
- Easy to see which models you follow are online
- More refined than MFC with things like video/gallery purchases
Cons:
- Some models hold back best stuff for ‘crazy ticket’ shows
- Like all cam sites can be expensive/addictive
- Some cams are poor quality
- A few shows seem to be pre-recorded
- Not as respectful community as MFC
- Not all privates can be recorded
Bottom Line:
I’ve been on My Free Cams for a couple of years now, but joined Chaturbate to broaden my horizons and really love how it offers something different.
The biggest difference is that it’s not just girls, but guys, transexuals and most importantly COUPLES who can chat.
This is banned on MFC, so on CB you get a lot of live hardcore action ranging from blowjobs to threesomes and everything in between. I have to say some of the models’ talents are incredible and could hold their own against the pros.
The interface is similar to MFC in that you can filter by region, however it doesn’t automatically refresh as it does on MFC, and the thumbnail update frequency isn’t as good. However, one huge advantage over MFC is the ‘followed models’ tab which shows thumbnails for models who are online that you follow. This makes it so much easier to browse than MFC.
Once in the rooms there are a few differences. Models can set chosen members as moderators if they wish. This means they can get on with the show rather than have to moderate too. Another difference is that models have certain plug-ins that help them run a room. These include tools to keep track of targets, tip jars, ‘crazy ticket’ shows where you can buy tokens to see a show when it is hidden etc. Many of these tools mean it can be more expensive than MFC if you aren’t someone who normally tips, but I think the pros outweigh the cons here.
Another difference is that models can set their private cam rates. This is generally a good thing in that most are cheaper-per-minute that MFC. I’ve seen some models charge as little as 18tpm, and typically the most expensive is 60tpm which is the same as MFC. I have seen a couple of models charge more, though.
One big negative is that the model can also choose whether members can record private shows. This leaves one huge benefit of privates in the hands of models. When you go to start a private, it will tell you their rate and whether you can save the show or not.
All models I have encountered are polite and willing. Like MFC there can sometimes be bit of a language barrier, but it’s nothing that use of animated GIF emojis can’t overcome! The members on CB seem a lot less respectful than on MFC, however, and seem a lot more inclined to bark orders/instructions at models - and this is despite moderators who can mute and/or boot members out of rooms.
Overall I think I prefer Chaturbate to My Free Cams, although MFC’s advantage is the sheer number of models. The interface is more refined, the content is more varied as it includes hardcore, the plug-ins models can use really make a difference and overall it is better value than MFC.
Please let me know if you need any model recommendations or have any questions.
There's quite a lot of pre-boob job scenes, definitely more than two. No evidence of scars now, and I have to say, although I'm not a boob job fan, I think hers are pretty decent.
Updates still erratic/less frequent - review updated
Have updated the review and reduced the score as unfortunately the updates are less frequent than when I originally wrote the review. While they used to be weekly, now it averages around one update every two weeks (six updates this year, and we're in week 12 of 2013).
The site seems to be updating with new content, still, no reason to suggest they're stringing out old content, but I hope Chica's not losing interest in the site as it really is a fantastic site in every other respect. I think amateur websites really need to update at least weekly.
Thanks for the reply. Most of my review is the same as before, but the slower update schedule was an important aspect to update I thought, while the rest of the site is really good. I would love to hear your thoughts if/when you join :)

Pros:
- Curvy Latina who's easy on the eyes with nice (if fake) boobs
- Excellent BJs, loves swallowing, so great for people who like that niche
- Lots of different genres catered for; handjobs, BJs, sex, footjobs, solo etc
- Very good customer service, they always reply to emails from my experience
- Seems genuinely interested in interacting with members (polls, comments etc)
- Easy to navigate in a blog format with tags so that you can browse by niche
- Good blog that has been consistently updated with candid photos
- Long history of updates
- Videos available in two different sizes (LD and HD), also embedded as a flash video
- Photos downloadable as ZIP files
- Chica has her own Twitter page which is regularly updated
Cons:
- Not enough updates - averages out to one update every 10-14 days
- Older updates only have a single thumbnail preview (no gallery/flash video)
- Generally the softer side of HC, but plenty of hardcore sex in the archives
- Pre-checked cross sells on sign-up
Bottom Line:
This is a great website with plenty of content, a long history of updates. It has the positive qualities of a smaller website to keep me interested; good interaction from Chica and good customer service.
It also has the qualities of a major website, such as well-shot videos, good quality content, polished navigation etc. It also has years' worth of content.
When I first reviewed this website, it was updated once-a-week, with an apology/explanation if an update was running behind schedule, but while there are still regular updates, it's a bit more erratic - some updates are within a week of each other, but most are within 10 days, and several even longer than that (it's been 12 days at time of writing since last update). I think even an amateur website should aim to update every week.
To their credit, they're not misleading anyone - I don't think they promise weekly updates, and the previews are all dated, but it does mean that it's not as great value now for returning members.
I love BJs and softer stuff like that, and if you're the same as me then this website is really outstanding. If you like what Chica looks like from the previews, then you will love the website.
If you prefer harder stuff, then her website might disappoint, but she seems to listen and respond to requests, and there's so many years' worth of content that for a one-month membership there should be more than enough to whet your appetite.
Navigation-wise, it's very much like a blog. The website preview is good in that it allows you to see how often Chica updates her site, so it's clear even before joining that it's always updated.
Each update will have a short written synopsis about the update, plus an embedded flash video which you can now skip to any point within without it fully loading (much like Youtube). Older updates don't have this functionality so you have to wait for the entire video to load.
The embedded video is good in that you can skip through it to see whether the video is worth downloading.
There are three different options for downloading videos: for the iPad (M4V, approx 125-150mb), Low Def (WMV, approx 75-100mb) and High Def (WMV, approx 300-350mb). File sizes given next to the download link.
For the majority of updates, there's also a thumbnail gallery with anything from 30-100 pictures. Some galleries are a bit small, some are fine, but photography is always top-notch. All galleries are downloadable as a ZIP. If you click the pictures, you get a larger version of the picture (approx 800px), but the full size ones are only available if you download the ZIP.
All updates are navigatable in a blog format with each update essentially being a post. You can click on tags underneath the update to see similar updates, so you can see all Facials, BJs etc.
Older updates unfortunately just have a short text intro and a thumbnail preview of the video. It's not a huge problem (many sites still ONLY have this) but obviously it comes as bit of a shock having been so spoilt elsewhere.
Now and again Chica will have guest videos which are generally the same kind of fayre that Chica offers. There don't seem to be as many of these lately, but you can find them easily when you browse the different genres anyway.
If you want a website that is high quality with an amateur feel, then Chica's Place is hard to beat. The slower update schedule takes the shine off an otherwise extremely polished website. Hopefully it will find its stride in this respect soon.
Update schedule a bit more erratic than it used to be
Have rejoined Chica's website. It's still amazing but the update schedule isn't quite as sharp as it used to be. I would say updates average about once every ten days, as opposed to weekly.
I'm not sure Chica promises weekly updates, and all updates are dated in the preview area, so it's not like they're deceiving you, but thought it important to point this out as my review said at the time that updates were pretty much always weekly with Chica apologising on the rare occasion they weren't.
Out of the last ten updates, four were posted after a week, four were posted after 9-10 days, and two after 13 days' wait.
Everything else about her website is great, so hoping she can get back onto weekly updates soon.
It isn't included, but you have the option of joining for $19.95 on sign-up (it's a cross sell, but not pre-checked).
There is at least one glory hole video of Chica, but I can't say for sure whether it's from the Glory Hole Swallow website (just in case it's of relevance to you)

Updated:
01-02-1203:33am (Update History) Reason: Changed review on the basis of negative trust rating left on my profile
Pros:
- Curvy Latina who's easy on the eyes with nice (if fake) boobs
- Excellent BJs, loves swallowing, so great for people who like that niche
- Lots of different genres catered for; handjobs, BJs, sex, footjobs, solo etc
- Very good customer service, they always reply to emails from my experience
- Seems genuinely interested in interacting with members - lots of polls to establish what people like, always replies to comments left on updates
- Easy to navigate in a blog format with tags so that you can browse by niche, user ratings on each update, thumbnail galleries with each video
- Good blog that has been consistently updated with candid photos from Chica's various trips/nights out
- One update a week which includes video and photos. Very reliable with a long history of updates
- Videos available in two different sizes (LD and HD), also embedded as a flash video on the site. Photos downloadable as ZIP files
Cons:
- Older updates only have a single thumbnail preview (as opposed to a gallery of thumbnails plus embedded Flash video)
- If you prefer H/C sex then there's probably other sites. She does do sex scenes, but the majority are BJs
Bottom Line:
This is definitely one of my favourite websites to be a member of at the moment.
It has the positive qualities of a smaller website to keep me interested; good interaction from Chica, good customer service, apologies *if* an update is going to be late (can only remember this happening once).
It also has the qualities of a major website, such as well-shot videos, good quality content, polished navigation etc. It also has years' worth of content.
I love BJs and softer stuff like that, and if you're the same as me then this website is really outstanding. If you like what Chica looks like from the previews, then you will love the website.

So, if you want a website that is high quality with an amateur feel, then Chica's Place is hard to beat. I've yet to find a website that's still updating that comes close to ticking all the right boxes for me.
Thanks for the review. I like the look of a lot of girls here (Kira Noir's caught my eye recently), so this site looks really good. Really appreciate your in-depth pros and cons.
Really good review, very informative and touching on a lot of interesting points, particularly the fact they miss a trick by not making the most of the fact it's a Spanish website.
Yup, it's definitely good advice. I'm normally quite sceptical about trials anyway because it's very rare in my experience you can just rip everything, otherwise the webmaster would surely be doing themselves out of business.
Would be interested to know if omberman got in touch with the webmaster about this. It could just be a technical problem and hopefully they can tell that you didn't manage to download anything. If they fix it and compensate you by extending the trial, then I think that reflects positively on the site.
The way I understand omberman's comment is that he wasn't complaining about only being able to view three videos, but that the three he tried didn't work but still showed as having been viewed, meaning he didn't get to see anything - I might be wrong though.
