Face facts man: If you have PU book marked, have a separate email account for porn sites, continuously sign up for porn sites and have a drive(s) full of naked bits you're a collector. At least it's in digital form otherwise we'd all be featured on the tv show "Hoarders: Buried Alive".

I say get on with it because the interviews are often poorly done and little of interest seems to come from them. Occasionally there are good tidbits but it's mostly some perved up interviewer going over the same old tired questions and answers.

I just find pure glory hole content stupid anyways. I mean, what guy in his right mind is going to stick his junk through a hole in the wall ... you're most likely going to end up being smoked by a dude, a dog or some HIV infested crackhead. On the plus side, I do see it as an opportunity for toothless grannies to supplement their social security income.

Didn't know these things existed. Given what some of us have spent on porn over the years wouldn't it make more sense for us to have wish lists for items porn stars could buy for us? Really, how expensive is a box of tissues :)

Forgot to add that I assume you guys are going to be linking to the website(s) that actually sell the wares and offering the discount that way. Selling the stuff yourselves is a whole different ball of wax (especially when it comes to state taxes and shipping porn dvd's across state lines) but I assume Rick and Co. are on top of that one.

There sort of waste for me. I edit down my photo sets anyway so it's just six of one, half dozen of the other as to sorting them on line to do a custom zip or just zipping the whole thing and sorting later. I usually just zip the whole set since I tend to use trial offers more and my time is limited. Take your time to edit them later.

I wouldn't say that they're entirely going in that direction but it seems to me like they're "shading" more in that direction. I do wish they'd get back to more nylon related stuff though.

Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.

| Pros: |
+++ 10 years of content online
++ Decent sized pics (all with zip) at 1300x2000 for the newer stuff
++ Good quality 1280 x 720 video
+ Choice of stream, wmv and mp4 downloads on newer vids
+ Some older material has been remastered for better size and quality
+ Updates 2 - 3 times a week
+ Good mix of solo, lez and hardcore (each about 1/3 although about half the HC scenes are just footjobs)
+ 2 day full access trial for $7 through TBP
+ Allows for DL managers (12 channels - 6 channels if downloading manually)
+ Many pic sets are set up for 3-D viewing if you download an app and have the glasses (I didn't try it).
+ Overall good quality production and lighting
+ Exclusive DDF material (not a lot taken from other DDF sites either) |
| Cons: |
-- Quality takes a dive once you get back to 08 and 07
-- Navigation and website need a big overhaul
-- The "casting" section of the site shows numerous updates but many sets have no material in them.
- Slow movie downloads (I rarely got above 200 kb/sec with a broadband connection)
- Many photo scenes seem incomplete (set abruptly ends when it looks like it should continue)
- Some recycled content from other DDF sites and earlier HL&F scenes
- No search function and no scene tags
- Only a few screen caps (get more)
- Newest vids only allow full scene downloads, no clips available
- Newer content doesn't have as many hot models, not as much true HC (as opposed to footjobs) and less costume/lingerie focus.
- No email confirming membership and they bill through vxsbill which is fine but canceling was easy and done through the website (I did get a cancel confirmation email). |
| Bottom Line: |
When I first found this site about 7 years ago I loved it. Hot girls, good lingerie and costume setups, good photography with some unique angles and frequent updates. While I wanted to give HL&F a 90 or better I just can't do it because the DDF boys just aren't putting out what they're capable of. Here's the lowdown:
PICS: Sets have about 100 to 120 pics and all have zips though only in the largest size. Newest pics go up to 2000x1300 but drop off to 1600x1080 starting around '08 and the oldest are only 800x600. Zip labels are actually good here and don't need relabeling. As noted, a bunch of photosets feel like they've been randomly ended. Quality is very good but more pics would be appreciated. 3-D is option on many sets that I didn't try. Watermarks present but not too big.
VIDS: Flash stream available for about the last 5 years of material (usually at 960x540). Newest vids are 1280x720 but before 08 tend to only be 850x480 or 7620x400. MP4 and WMV options available for the last two years but '08 and earlier only WMV, DiVX and QT available. Smallish watermarks on all vids. Vid sizes seem somewhat random for their release dates between '05 and '08 (one update will be small while the prior one will be large). Download speeds were a bit slow too. I don't know why they do this but the recent vids don't allow for clip downloads, only full scenes. Quality, again, is very good.
OTHER: The website needs an overhaul. Very plain looking and getting around takes some clicking. No real preview available. There are only a few search categories that are useless. No search function or scene tags also hurt with this much content available. They need a calendar update page or they need to better sort their material to make it more user friendly. There are brief model bios but it's pretty sparse.
The site seems to have lost some mojo the last year or so. Less focus on lingerie and more on the feet is not a great improvement by my standards. A lot of the recent hardcore and lez scenes focus more on footjobs as opposed to leg and sex worship. The girls aren't as hot as they once were either. The photography also seems more vanilla as opposed to unique and interesting which may be because DDF farms out more of their shoots maybe (not sure on this).
If it were up to me, I'd update the site look, add a search function and scene tags, make the videos more uniform in size, while adding more screen caps and allowing for clip downloads, remaster their oldest content, make sure their "casting" updates actually have content in them, and bring back more of the lingerie/hosiery focus and limit the amount of pseudo domination and foot emphasis they've recently been doing.
I know DDF can do better than this and I hope they do because this is a great site rivaled only by footsiebabes. I'd like to come back in another year or two and see things improved. Right now they need to do a little work but it's still a pretty good site. |

From my own perspective I don't have a lot of interest in other products from here. However, from a biz perspective I think it's a good idea. Lots of folks have different interests and if TBP can make money off of it without spamming up the place I got no problems with it.

I rarely use one. If there's pics I like I'll just zip them and with movies I like to preview them a bit before I decide if I'm going to download. Most sites allow for multiple channels of downloading so you can be sucking up a few vids while previewing the next batch so in that sense I don't use a DL manager much; only if I'm really time pressed on an expiring membership.

| Pros: |
++ $2.75 2 day full access trial through TBP
++ Newest pix go up 4,000 pixels though most stop at 3,000.
++ Daily updates for photo sets (about 1300 photo sets and 600 vids on main site)
++ Years of material on site(s)
+ Generally decent professional photo and lighting work
+ All photosets have zip functions and you can zip in 1k, 2k, or 3/4k mode
+ About 100 or so 1280x720 vids with decent download speeds
+ Access to 8 other sites
+ No DRM limits
+ Uses major billing companies
+ Small watermarks on pics and vids
+ Video options include full scene, clips and streaming
+ Has a detailed search function and a model directory with some bio material
+ Has a support and FAQ section |
| Cons: |
-- Nonexclusive content
-- Not a site for hardcore fans
-- The bonus sites no longer update
-- Quality really drops once you go back a few years in both pics and vids.
- Cross sales on sign-up page
- Navigation could use some work
- Only a couple of screen caps showing video contents (needs more)
- Have to type in password info for each site (and you get some long randomly generated password when you join)
- WMV only file option for downloading vids
- Vids only update once or twice a week |
| Bottom Line: |
I last joined this site about 5 years ago and decided to to the trial option to see what's changed. In short, not much and that's not necessarily a good thing. There really isn't anything to not like about it but it is a mostly softcore nonexclusive content site (if you like your action hardcore, skip this network) that mostly left me feeling "meh".
PICS: It's nice to see a site that lets you zip in multiple sizes. As noted above, the newest stuff goes up to 4000 pixels however some pixelation occurs at this level on a few sets. The downside is that the quality drops to about 2k sizes when you get to early 2009 and rapidly drops to 1k sizes thereafter. All pics come up in a separate screen. Most of this is stuff that you've seen before and not necessarily a models best offerings.
VIDS: Good download speeds and about 100 newer HD vids. Bad news is that once you get past the HD sizes, the vids fairly quickly drop to 480x320 and the quality of the older stuff is average at best. If you like HC there are only about 40 HC vids in total (1 in HD). Even though I have high speed, the streaming stuff was only OK I had problems jumping forward on some of the streams.
OTHER: It does have a good and mostly complete search engine but it's not entirely intuitive (it took me a few minutes to figure out how to find all the HC vids). Jumping around to different pages requires some clicking too. It's not bad (better than some other good sites) but it does need a few tweaks like adding "softcore", "lez" and "HC" categories, etc.
All the bonus sites stopped updating at least a year ago so they don't really have anything to offer assuming you've been around the porn block a time or two. The pic size and video quality on those sites is mostly second rate by today's standards.
TBP gave this site a "87" score which I can't justify. It's nonexclusive content and once you go back to early 2009 the quality starts to rapidly drop off. It is mostly softcore and, as I noted, these aren't what I would consider the models best work. For me, Twistys, VivThomas, Teendreams and others do a better job with this genre of site than Babelicious does. When I was last a member here I thought the site held up pretty well in comparison to what was going on at the time. Not so much any more. It's not a rip-off by any means but others do it better now. |

I'm not interested in going out somewhere and seeing someone sitting at the table next to be streaming porn on their cell phone (I'm just waiting for the day). Why should someone be subjected to it at work then, especially if they don't approve of porn. Part of life is adopting social norms and if you can't live without porn for a few hours then you're best sticking with a home office.

I like Firefox cause it's pretty stable and has the add on features others have mentioned. I'm surprised no one has chimed in with Google Chrome. I've been thinking about trying it out but haven't gotten around to it yet.

A comment based on a preview only look is good for three reasons. 1) If it's a decent tour you can usually note if the content is exclusive or not. TBP doesn't always get this right so it's a good option for us to have. 2) If you think you might like a site it's good to be able to ask if anyone else knows about the site. 3) If I'm interested in a site I'll go so far as to hit the join parts of the tour to see what kind of billing they use and if there are sign up traps to consider; again something worth being able to point out to others.

All that happens by eliminating the "100" score is to make "99" the new "100". Not much achieved by doing this.

That is definitely unusual but something that has happened to me once before (not on Karups though). Most likely occurs when the website buys some goodies from a less than scrupulous middleman (aka - on the cheap) who is looking to really recoup on his investment. Sad to here but it's also a sign of things to come as I think we're going to see more creative ways of slipping viruses and such into our machines.

If I recall, I actually had to go and rent the thing along and watched it on the old suit case sized vcr, I think it was Debbie Does Dallas. No way in hell I'd even want to own that thing today.

Unless I can't even get the system to boot up I'll probably fix it myself (thankfully that's never happened). While I keep my collection on my computer everything gets backed up to the external every few months so that if I have to wipe the system there's no major loss.

When I win the lottery and become stinking rich I'll buy up a bunch of memberships (US porn only) and feature this in my campaign ads for President bragging about how I stimulated our economy ... and myself.

I actually walked into a gay bar by accident with some friends a number of years ago (the place had recently changed owners and its "theme" unknown to us). We looked around and one of my friends commented that it looked like lonely guys night out. We then noticed the gay posters and figured it out. However, we did finish our beers before leaving ... a man has to have his priorities.
