Hard to give a precise count right now because I'm actually downloading photos at the moment, but a rough estimate puts it around 60k. Give or take a few 10k. When push comes to shove, I'd generally take photos over videos, but by their nature, I've got more space dedicated to videos than photos.
Glad you liked the review :-) The commentary goes along way for making this site what it is, just browse through their catalog (since they are also a token site, everything is on display). I was ignoring the commentary at first glance but once you start reading them it really becomes addictive, lol
I once forgot to cancel, but more importantly forgot to write down the billing company (back when canceling was much more difficult). I haven't had much in the way of mistakes though, I've been lucky with the pre-checked trial sites, they were very cheap and I canceled them immediately. No virus laden sites either. I did join one site that was entirely made of crap bonus sites, that was disappointing, but at least I didn't pay much for it.
LOL, #1 Reviewer? Wow! Haha, that is quite the compliment though I'm sure the accuracy of it is debatable, lol Still, I can't say it doesn't put a little spring in my step :-)
Anyway, I gotta say, prior to this site I sort of felt all DVD sites were basically copies of each other. Hell some sites were just clones with only a different header graphic, see BrazzersBox as an example. So I used to keep a membership with the leader site just because it was cheap and easy. But these guys have managed to do something different within such a restrained niche, and that is really something of an achievement.
Glad you liked the review! I was genuinely blown away by their search engine - and as folks may know, I have a serious search engine obsession, so that is saying something, lol
Their DVD collection really is remarkably diverse, the fact that they can catalog 15 individual fetishes I think illustrates that pretty well. I was checking the previous reviews here and it seems they've tripled the size of their collection in a year, that ain't bad progress at all. 50 DVDs a month really should be enough to keep anyone entertained presuming the diversity remains catered too.
The Editorial picks and commentary were the unexpected bonus that really endeared me to this site. The picks genuinely haven't let me down so far; scenes with that honor always have something special that makes them memorable and that is saying a lot in current porn. The commentary though, god is that stuff funny, and so very tweaked most of the time, lol
Yeah, you really can't beat that year deal - I'm not one to usually recommend dropping a Benjamin on porn, but if you can honestly download their entire collection in under a year, at the rate they are adding DVDs, then you have too much time on your hands :-P
Try a download acceleration utility (DownThemAll! for Firefox is great). Some sites basically require it to get descent download speeds. Though many sites don't support it all, which is unfortunate.
lol - I'm interested to see if badandy400 will answer this query precisely. Since the man calls a +3 Terabyte collection modest, the final number should be impressive. Perhaps he's counting right now? I'll check back in a week, lol
I once accidentally placed an anonymous rating (before I changed the default setting) but with Khan's guidance I fixed it. I always put a comment in my trust rating and even if it is a negative rating, I try to make the comment helpful and constructive. If the user I rated bad gets better, I'll switch my rating to a positive. I don't do anonymous ratings because I want the user to visit my reviews as they are examples of how I believe reviews should be done.
lol - yeah, I don't sleep at the same time as normal people - always been a night person at heart. To compound that I work for a computer accessories company, so despite our unfortunate East Coast location (leaving us several thousand miles from most of our suppliers), we still have to keep West Coast hours so we can actually do business with the West Coast on a daily basis. Our normal business hours are 10am-6pm EST, I adjust my hours all over the place, but these days I've been working 12-8pm, so I frequently go to bed at about 3-4am.
Thanks :-) Yeah, much of my Porn Users time has been dedicated to the Forums rather than reviews, I just find I'm more inclined to write little bits here and there on the forums rather than sit down and do the work required for a proper review - lazy at heart :-P I have 5 possible sites I could review right now, (not counting ol' Videobox which I won't review as I think that is rather thoroughly covered at this point) so perhaps I'll get off my haunches and do those...
Damn - seriously?? That is fucking lame - if I were you, I'd take those $20 and spend it on an IP spoofing program so you can port through an American IP, lol - you know, just to spite them :-D
Sweet, I was hoping they'd remove the DRM from GGG soon as I saw that one of John Thompson's other sites, GGG Sex Box - went DRM-free back in September.
Any guesstimate as to how many videos were DRM-free when you were a member?
Btw, I had run into the corrupted uploads when I was member as well, but I found if you emailed customer service they usually fixed it within a few days. Of course, if they are re-converting the older DVDs, they might not worry about an older corrupted file.
I occasionally follow Professional Cycling. Didn't follow it as much last year as they suspended all of my favorite big name riders due to the damn drug scandals. The UCI dictated the teams couldn't modify their bicycles to ride faster, so the logical conclusion is that they would start modifying the riders to ride faster - what did they expect would happen?
Interesting - perhaps it was the time at which I was downloading that was a factor, more than their servers. Still, nobody should complain about their servers being slow, that's for sure, lol
While I hardly ever have complaints about download speeds, this site is moving bits so quickly that I thought it worthy of comment. Since all of their new video is High Definition, the size of the videos means downloads could be lengthy, but right now I'm holding a sustained download speed of:
1.10 MB/s (8.80 mbps)
It is also important to note that this is without any form of multiple connection download acceleration. I rarely see speeds this high from anything other than large businesses like Microsoft. Granted this is occurring at a very low traffic time for my area and I'm not using my internet connection for anything else, but even when traffic spikes up some I still maintain speeds above 700 KB/s (5600 kbps). Really impressive speeds.
My current monitor is a simple 19" ViewSonic LCD. It was considered a gaming monitor back in its day with a refresh rate of under 3ms, but these days that is rather common place. Its native resolution is 1280x1024, so that's what I keep it at. Anything lower it looks fuzzy, and anything larger wouldn't look better - it would simply grant me more desktop space.
One of these days I plan on upgrading to a widescreen LCD capable of above 1080p resolutions (1920x1080) but the prohibitive prices matched to these products has kept that from becoming a reality. For the time being this monitor is doing just fine.
Simply put: I don't go to action movies to see people jump cars over exploding mountains while wearing a fire-retardant suit and a crash helmet.
Models in porn are in many ways more similar to stuntmen than traditional actors - we pay them to perform various sexual feats that are usually considered outside the norm and even dangerous. I understand that stuntmen often do wear protective gear - but they take great strides for us not to see it. So if porn figures out a way to hide the condom from the camera, all the power to them - until then I think there will always be a market for condom-free porn.
Assuming it is a rather large gallery, I'll usually pop through the gallery looking at a few random pages to get a feel for the content. If I love the content I'll go back to the first page and look through it, image by image, in order, from beginning to end. Then I'll go to the model's page, assuming the site is set up in that manner, and save a bookmark to download all of her content at a later date. Sadly this often builds huge bookmark folders meaning I have a hell of a task in front of me once I decide to download the content. For example, I'm finally archiving ATK Natural and Hairy - the bookmark folder consists of 272 models. Since I have to make a folder for each photo set, download and assign a thumbnail for the model's main folder and then assign a preview thumbnail for each set... this could take a while.
Great review, thanks - as a photo person, I may have to check out this site.
As for why some of us are bothered by pregnancy?
Ever seen the Chest Rippers from the Alien movie series? Just replace the fanged insect/snake with a really fat, tiny ape and make it scream like a wounded rabbit. Now put it inside the lower abdomen of another person. Have it twist, move and parasitically feed off that person - getting stronger and larger, month after month, forcing the host to consume more energy due to the added weight and because their blood system is feeding another being, like a tape worm, but more intimate. It consumes for almost a year and then it needs to leave, making the host's body an accomplice - but sometimes the host isn't fit enough (too small, too inflexible, too weak, et cetera). Sometimes they won't survive. So doctors try to help. They cut the host open, straight through the belly. They reach in and pull out this writhing creature and sever its connection with the host. Even with a successful breach from the host, the flabby, screaming parasite squeezing out through the sexual genitalia of the host, the parasitic relationship isn't over. The host's body is altered to lactate and feed the parasite for even longer - as if feeding from the blood stream wasn't enough, the parasite is now feeding off liquid expelled from the host's body. The real horrifying aspect for me, is that the parasite doesn't need the womb to survive, any good blood source will do fine. Hosts unfortunate enough to have a severe ulcer on the womb, puncturing straight through the wall of the womb, have had a fertilized egg attach itself to a very good source of blood: the heart. Aesthetically, the skeletal stance of the host changes - the hips widen, the center of balance is adjust to account for the weight - the host is physically altered not just in shape but in movement. All these things combined make pregnancy not the most erotic of visages for me.
I understand others talk about a "healthy glow" or the "miracle of birth" and so on - I understand it is a fetish for many - but in isn't for me. I do believe it would be awkward if a long-term lover of mine became pregnant. I would fully support her if her decision was to keep the child and I would take care of her and the parasite, but once it was large enough to change her physique, coitus would be much more difficult - especially oral administration to her. I fear my vivid imagination would ruin much of that. Hopefully we'd be smart enough to find solutions, maybe the furry scene so coitus would be performed in full body costumes...
I used to use Yahoo! anytime I was looking for an official site, like a company website, but Google has improved their results so much that most engines just pale by comparison.
