I have my own issue with DDF's old content, which I may bring to attention some day. They make new content that is second to none, but their handling of old content has deeper failings than what you refer to here. I've held off on writing a review on DDF for several months, because I am honestly way too conflicted to know how to score them. I don't know how I can take a site with such strong positives as DDF, reconcile those with some of the strongest negatives, and produce a review that I would want to post. It could potentially be one of my best reviews, I could write volumes, but I like DDF too much to call them out right now. Maybe when I feel able to write a more unbiased review of DDF, I will post it one day.

You seem to be right about this. It looks like the webmaster was active here earlier this year, so hopefully he will let us know what is going on. 50% seems far too low for a site like teenmodels.com that has historically been a quality operation, but with this going on, I can see where you are coming from...
Are the glory days of teenmodels.com over?

"Well this is the nature of having a site which stems back from 1999. We are looking into the possibilities of Remastering all the old content...but it is arduous, and with over 20 new releases each week....main focus is on New content, old content is more of a Bonus."
As a past member for several months, who had a chance to look over your older content, I have to say that this would be awesome. During my time as a member, I already expressed this to support, but it deserves to be said again here.

"However, I like the DDF approach far better than most other sites that simply take down the old stuff. When I get a strong interest in a specific model, I'm happy getting as much stuff as possible. But it certainly would be helpful to identify the quality level of each offering that appears on a model's "home page" (the page that displays all material for a model)."
This can't be said enough. It would be a huge loss if this older content were removed. While the videos could use the most remastering, the photo quality back then is still very enjoyable today, even if it is not up to modern standards. Some of those older scenes are just so well shot, and the models are so hot. I also like to keep track of models, and it would be really frustrating if a favorite model's shoots were removed, even if they were low quality.
Thanks Ace DDF for talking with us here about these points. While we are on the subject of older DDF content and particular models, I can't help but ask, what happened to the shoots with Justine Joli (aka Swan and Hope) that used to be on houseoftaboo.com? I downloaded some free samples of those on TGP's a long time ago, but the shoots aren't there anymore. Do you still have those archived anywhere? Justine Joli is amazing - any chance that even the original non-remastered shoots might be re-posted?

Close-ups are one of my favorite type of shots, but of course they need to be within the context of a set where you see the model's face and body too. Close-ups shot well with high resolution and a lot of detail are the best. The more detail, the more it looks like you are right there.

It's been about 2-3 hrs/day lately, but that's about to change. I'm moving up in the world professionally, which is a good thing, but soon my work is going to demand my time close to 24/7. I probably won't be able to comment here as much either, but I'll make sure to check in often.
Edit: To whoever answered 9-12 hrs/day, I envy you and the time you have on your hands. Wealth can be measured in time as well as money, and I wish I could have the same luxury as you.

"Netflix did this when they broke out their DVD & Streaming business into the same cost for each as the cost for both was. They lost my business but obviously their business has grown."
Nice! They lost my business at exactly this point too!

Considering that you probably paid about $30 per site for the porn and 4Tb externals go for under $150, it's an easy call to buy a new drive.

It's not a trick question, but the vagueness makes it hard to answer, especially if you put a lot of thought into it.
To clear one thing up, it's all about the bottom line. If you choose #1 or #2 it should be because you think that losing your base or damaging your product will hurt your bottom line.

I can add a few to the list besides Brazzers:
JustinesBedroom.com - forced to do so
HelenVolga.com - reasons unknown
One other site I can think of too, but I won't call them out on it, because they were really cool about it. They actually waived copyright so that I could get it from one of their previous members.

I knew someone would ask for extreme to be clarified. It's deliberately subjective here, just answer based on what it means to you. This poll was inspired by Acworth saying that he may remove some of the more "extreme" lines on Kink.com to improve sales by reaching a more mainstream audience without clarifying what extreme means. It is open to your interpretation.
I answered both 1 and 2. If the reason for this is to improve sales, I don't think it will work.

That sounds like a terrible system. Not only does it piss customers off, but it wastes the support person's time on the clock.

I don't mind a few, especially if they are actually good discounts at sites that I am interested in. Also, if the ad revenue helps keep membership costs down, then that's a good thing. No deceptive ads though.

When HD came out years ago, some people cautioned that the extra detail may not be appealing when it shows blemishes. As we all know, the market has since voted overwhelmingly in favor of HD, with standard definition video being below almost anyone's standards today for a paysite.

There must be an error here, because I still don't see your email including in my spam folder. I'll contact support about this. In the mean time, to get around this problem, I've made a throw-away email address that I'll post here for you: fscbfnnu.tk1@20minutemail.com . Email me there, then I'll reply to you from my real email. This throw-away email will only be active for 20 minutes.

Hey BadAndy400,
Here I am, replying to another old review of yours! Long story short, you are in a unique position to help out with something because you downloaded ExtremeHolly.com at the time you did. I have been in discussions with PinkVisual about this issue, who since acquired ExtremeHolly.com, and there is something in it for you if you want to get in touch with me. I can't say all the details here, it involves some special arrangements with PinkVisual. That's why I tried to PM/email you, but I figure your email address listed with PornUsers.com might be an old one you don't check often. I check my email listed here daily if you want to get in touch. Anyway, I look forward to hearing from you!

The other thing that I will add is this. There was a time in the early 2000's when scams and shady billing practices were much more pervasive on paysites, and many got a bad name for it. That type of thing angered customers, and probably encouraged piracy. Nowadays, almost every site I've been to is just trying to do honest good work for their customers. On the other hand, judging by the prevalence of piracy today, many customers haven't changed their mindset. The owners really seem to occupy the moral high ground now, and maybe it's time for those who still resort to piracy to seriously reexamine your ways.

Like badandy400 said, it depends on where the line is drawn. In my first, somewhat controversial post on this forum, I mentioned that I had obtained the content of a couple of sites that had been closed for years from someone who uploaded it for free. Granted, this was after first trying to join the sites, finding out that they were closed, trying to track down the owners with the intent of buying their old content at a large premium, and failing. This is either borderline piracy or piracy according to the various replies that I received on this particular post. I had no bad intent though, made no negative impact, and actually really wanted to pay for what I got.

Thanks. I was just comparing notes with someone a few weeks ago about favorite pee clips, and he mentioned those ones from twistys.com. Since you reviewed the site 6 years ago, and that was about the time he saw those clips, I thought I might ask.
Already been to glimpse-it.com, thanks though.

I heard that this site used to have some peeing videos, but has since removed them. I have talked with someone who was on the site recently, and they said they just have a few now on their last page of archives. Looks like you were a member in 2008, so is it true that they used to have more?

I have WiFi, but I still go Ethernet for my downloads. I have a 50 Mbps connection on Ethernet, but my wireless router slows it to just over 30 Mbps.

It's not exactly artcore or glamcore. Imagine the format that you're used to for g/g content on ALS, then make it b/g. No condoms, last time I checked!
By the way, I should amend my review in one way. Their latest photosets have increased in resolution to 5000x3000. They have always been the first to adopt the highest resolution formats, and they are making good on that tradition.

As a footnote to my review, please read this from ALS about their remastering process:
"The majority of our remastered sets were originally shot in digital format. We have always kept copies our raw / camera images untouched. So a typical set involves simply loading up the set in our camera program, reselecting and applying color correction to the raw images, then extracting them to a TIF format. In the early 2000s, sets were much smaller due in picture size and quantity due to the limited availability of broadband internet, so we are now able to include several, often hundreds of images from the set that were never before released, making the sets more "new" than old, and include them in the full size they were shot in by the camera. From there, we follow the same basic processing as any new set with today's quality standards. For instance, we all used to use the big tube CRT monitors when we color corrected images. Now that flatscreen and LCD monitors are more commonplace, those images tend to look a bit brighter and overexposed, so the remastered releases come out looking a bit more rich and vibrant color-wise.
There are some cases where we have even gone back to models who were shot in print. In these cases, we do have to digitally scan in the original print. We have a huge storage container filled with these albums. The main trick is using a very high DPI scanner to help blow up the images without sacrificing their quality. Once they are in a lossless TIF format, we again apply the same basic processing steps using Photoshop mostly to help balance the color, resize and sharpen the images, and try to reduce any graininess."

I don't go looking for it, but I don't mind it either. There's enough around online though, including 5 fingers, but maybe less on DVD.
By the way, the 4 vs 5 finger fisting distinction came from British obscenity law. 5-finger fisting is considered extreme porn in the UK and a criminal offense. 4-finger fisting is OK in the UK though.

I should add that the place where this happens the most is on the amateur sites with user generated photos and videos, although that's not what I had in mind when I wrote the poll. While most of the stuff on this type of site like amateuralbum.net isn't high quality, there are occasionally great sets of really hot amateurs that get posted. I check frequently, because it's not uncommon for the users there to delete their own photos after a week or two, and many users delete their entire profile within a few years.
Models that have been removed by DDF include Jenny Noel and Julie Silver, as well as about 16 more that I can't name.
There are a small number of models from Abby Winters who have bought back their own shoots for removal. I don't want to dwell on that site too much here, because the topic of these models has already been beat to death on member forums, and Abby Winters is an excellent site despite this, but I will post their names just so that you guys can recognize it if you have one of these rarities. Alana, Jasmin, Jules, Kate, Louise, Mikaela (killed in terrorist attack in Bali), Nikita, Tammy, and Verity. You can't fault Abby Winters for this, they do try hard to keep their content up, and they are coming out with lots of great new stuff.
There was also Ember from ALS as I said before. I think there was a thread started on her topic, and people came out in supports of ALS's decision.
