It's just more likely to make me join. It really doesn't affect the score unless the price is an awesome deal or a total ripoff in comparison to what you get.

I think I'm a bit limited in my response in that my subscription just ended. I know they used to have more content (especially the old stuff) and I think that is now hidden in an "upgrade" feature. I didn't upgrade so I can't say for sure what comes in that package. However, even if I'm right, unless you're concerned about way old content (7 years or longer) then you're probably not affected.

Actually they have MP4 downloads now. They're at a lower resolution but they comprise most of the vids I downloaded and tend to look fine.

Was a member approx. 2 months prior to this review.
|
| Pros: |
+ 1200+ scenes of mostly hardcore Eastern Euro hotties. Heavy emphasis on school girl and massage themes.
+ Huge pics (5700x3800) with zips, about 125 pics per set.
+ 1900x1200 HD vids with multiple download options and in browser playback. Generally good download speeds - 700 mb/sec or more on multiple channels when not in peak time).
+ Good $15 per month price through TBP.
+ Updates 2-3 times a week.
+ Professional production value. |
| Cons: |
- Site is sensitive to peak traffic times and can slow down a lot.
- Prechecked cross sale on sign up and advertising and cross sales in members area.
- Very little English in vids.
- A fair amount of anal if you're not into that.
- Almost all nonexclusive content (all stuff you see on Teenmegaworld and places like that).
- Site went through a "bad phase" around 2012 with some sub par material.
- A few problems with in browser streaming, fixed by watching in mp4 mode.
- Navigation just OK. Some missing tags and mislabelled scenes. |
| Bottom Line: |
Let's be clear here. You're not joining this site for exclusive content. Most of this stuff comes from other sites. What you're joining for is the better quality you get here over other sites so it's really more of a collectors site than a casual porn surfers paradise. You can find more quantity for about the same money elsewhere.
This is my second time around and while I joined expecting one thing I actually got 3 things. The oldest content is straight hardcore from Teenmegaworld. That's what I expected. Then, around 2012, the site jumped to daily updates and the quality of the girls and production value went down and you got a lot of solo girl scene. Over the last 15 months you now get something more like WOWGirls which is high production value, bright lights and more "heartcore" level porn but with some "tender anal" (an oxymoron?) thrown in. Interesting. Overall, I'd say the site is 75% hardcore now.
Here's a breakdown:
PICS: Pics are huge and that's I why I came back. I will note the cropping has gotten a bit tighter (I like full body) but it's still very good. The stuff around 2012 is not very good and poorly cropped. Save some hard drive room because the zip sets come in around 500 mb per set.
The most recent "heartcore" stuff is almost exclusively back lit with very bright sun light or lamps which can cause some pixelation and washout of the pic which can be annoying at times.
VIDS: I did have some playback issues with in stream browser as noted above. Download speeds varied a lot by time of day (peak traffic times sucked). Vids were very good quality overall though. Most vids were 20-25 minutes long and overall specs matched TBP's review specs. Again, with the brightly back lit new content, washout can appear in some scenes.
NAV: Like almost every porn site I come across, navigation needs work. You get only 3 search functions (hardcore, lez and solo) and the tagging for more detailed search is too inconsistent to bother with. At least updates are date stamped. The model directory seemed complete. Page jumps are also limited.
There aren't many male actors here and, as on reviewer complained, a few are a bit rough with the girls but this isn't uncommon with Eastern Euro porn and it's not terrible. The most recent models seem to have limp dick issues but don't overly detract from the scenes.
The site does get a bit repetitive, especially the last year or so with the constantly bright lit scenes and unending parade of massage and bedroom school girl scenes but there are definitely worse things to see than hot girls having sex.
Overall, if you know what are getting into and value quality over sheer quantity then this is definitely a place to consider. I gave this site an 85 rating mostly because of navigation/search and nonexclusive content. |

Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
|
| Pros: |
+ Thousands of pic sets and vids to tempt you.
+ Daily updates (hardcore only updates 1-2 times a week)
+ Good sized pics (2000x3000), usually 100+ pics per set and come with zips.
+ Good pricing deal at $10 a month through TBP
+ Generally attractive models and mostly known porn stars.
+ Updates are date stamped.
+ Mostly original content but what they do filters out to other sites pretty quickly.
+ Stream rates were good on all downloads with little variation between high and low traffic
times.
+ No DRM and no d/l limits.
+ Multiple download options for pics and vids including mobile.
+ Variety of scene options (solo, lez, and hardcore). |
| Cons: |
- Navigation, search and layout are a mess.
- Prechecked cross sales on signup and ads when you log in and in the site itself.
- Upsell purchase required to see all of the Twistys content from old.
- HD vids only come in at 720p but still look good.
- Technical problems across the board, just like everyone else who has reviewed this site the last few years (explained below).
- Zips don't work on pic sets older than 2010.
- No vid and/or pic set icons for older scenes.
- Pretty generic in terms of overall scene interest and photography.
- Problem with model names, notably giving "new" names to established Euro girls. |
| Bottom Line: |
For years Twistys (now the Twistysnetwork) was the old reliable. If you wanted a bunch of porn for a reasonable price that's what you got. Nothing flashy or niche based, just good old fashioned naughty bits in a professional package. This used to a standby site for me but with the new network design, new owners and array of issues this one is getting shoved on the back burner. Here's the breakdown:
PICS: Good pic sizes and lots of variety but that's where it ends. For their hardcore, they have one primary photographer so you pretty much see the same type of sex set after set after set. Many of the hardcore sets are heavily cropped so if you like full body shots then this ain't your site. The solo shots are better but they are pretty generic in character. Some problems with photographer using auto focus with too narrow of a focus field (pics get slightly blurry just outside of the central focus dot - probably because the pics are just HD screen grabs from the video shoot and the photographer can't figure out how to change his settings).
VIDS: HD maxes out at 720p but it was good quality and no issue to me. You get in browser playback but it was incredibly choppy - I had to go to the download option and watch there. I lost the ability to hear sound after watching 6 - 8 vids and had to exit the site and re-enter to fix it (sound just fine when downloading though). I had no problems downloading vids like some other recent reviewers noted. Vids usualy 15 - 30 minutes (shorter on the solo, longer on the hardcore).
NAV: This is the part that chapped my ass. The site underwent a major overhaul and like most software upgrades, you often leave some functionality behind. Here it was A LOT of functionality. The site is all flash based but there is no in site flash navigation. If you open a set on page 5 and use your "back" button you go back to page 1 every time. You have to right click and open every scene in a new window or else lose your place. Since you can only move up to two pages at a time you need be careful on a site this sized.
Advanced search is pointless since it relies on tags and the tagging is inconsistent. Model directory seems complete but names on Euro girls are sometimes different.
You lose the ability to download zips before 2010. Also, around 2010 you lose the set / scene icons (all it says is "no pic available") and those that do exist aren't representative of the content or even the model.
You need to upgrade to see all the older / oldest content they have.
Most of these sites (7 in all) simply update across the board with most of the content. This isn't new but it is a pain since if you have to do a lot of digging if you want to see as much as possible (each scene says which site it was updated to but this isn't reliable or consistent).
Overall, this is a decent glam oriented site. However, it could easily be more and better but simply chooses not to be. They've obviously cut their budget and it shows. So, for $10 you can't really go wrong but don't expect to be wowed. |

Nothing kills a scene worse for me than actors who treat a shoot just like another day at the job or a comedy session.

It all depends on whether your a "pic" or a "vid" collector. As I'm the former, I don't mind extra content in the pics section but it bugs me when the good stuff on the vids don't show up in the pics.

I actually do a quick scan, mostly because I want to see the cancellation policy - important if you're on a short time trial.

If you think of all the paysites out there featuring recycled crappy porn, then the answer is "no", the vast majority won't make it. As for the big boys, the ones getting regular reviews around here, I'd say probably half will be around in a decade just because even if they stop producing new content they just recycle until the cows come home.

I do less collecting now but always keep it under one TB otherwise the collection just gets too "messy" ... it's current state I prefer keep under the tagline "complicated".

Don't have any either, mostly for the reasons stated above. But, we're probably in the overall minority. I would bet that most people under 25 keep some on their phones as it's really their everyday computer and they're probably not as slavish about their collections as we are.

To anyone who has been around the porn block a few times you probably have to answer yes. At first, almost anything looks exciting, fresh and interesting. Only after a while do you start to find the niches and sites that you really like. While I still sample around I pretty much know what I want at this point.

If you really want to raise eyebrows when you croak then make sure to have your collection prominently saved, with easy access, and have directions to play all your favorite scenes during your memorial service. Give'm something to remember you by.

I don't find them terribly important because just about every site I've seen has poor tagging or gaps in their listings so you're forced to dig through it all anyway.

Thanks for the review, I'll probably be reupping again soon. Most models can be seen on wow girls and the teenmegaworld websites but the quality, especially pics, is better on this site than most others.

Passwords are basically obsolete today when it comes to security. If someone wants in, they'll get in if all you're relying on is password protection. As long as you're not using "123456" you might as well pick your own.

Have to agree with Pat that based upon the tour pages it looks like this mostly content you can find cheaper and in better quality at sites like 18xgirls and teenmegaworld. Don't want to dampen your spirits though, it's great to have new members adding reviews here and first reviews of sites are always appreciated.
In the future, if you question whether or not to join a site or wonder what the content is like you can always add a comment about the site (click the comment button, not review button) and someone will usually have something to say about it.

The only reason I even use some cds is because they're dirt cheap and I still have media that uses them. They're basically a generational thing that the youngens don't use but us old farts still do. Technologically they're already dead but still useful if you're used to them.

Until it becomes pretty awesome in quality and doesn't require a big investment in headgear or other viewing hardware I'm sitting it out.

To the "huhs" above, I think the poll is asking what you do if you have old pics/vids that size out at, say, 900x600 pixels for pics and say 640 for vids. They looked great on your old 14" crt monitor but on your flashy 24" flat screen they look washed out and pixelated if viewed in full screen mode. Recently I have replaced some pics and vids but mostly I just dump them in favor of new stuff.
