Regarding the 22 girls, they are probably singled out as "Vivid Girls" because that's the way they refer to their "contract girls" aka "contract performers" at Vivid. The number 22 is likely how many models they've had under contract over the years.
I haven't been at Vivid in a long time but I was recently at another studio website and their past and present contract models were also singled out from the rest of models that have appeared in their DVDs.
Since studios put a lot of money in marketing their contract models, it's logical their website pays much more attention to them than other models on their DVDs.

They send a monthly newsletter announcing recent new game features: settings, characters, props, functionalities... There's a link to unsubscribe from it even though I don't know if it works. I don't plan on returning to the site in the near future but the newsletter is an interesting read.
Apart from this, I get a lot of generic spam to the address I used for 3D Sex Games but I've signed up to other sites with that same address so I can't tell if all comes from it.

Works for me now. I remember they did some major changes on the site about a year ago and left a very informative error page; the precise downtime of the site had also been scheduled for some days in a blog entry. I don't see any similar recent blog entry now, though.

If they put external links anywhere on their message or signature, absolutely. Otherwise, there's rarely reason for suspicion.

200 kbytes/s, which is 2/3 of my top download speed. I wonder what would be the results of this poll if the options weren't absolute values but percentages of you maximum download speed.

VideoBox regular membership doesn't give you access to those DVDs: you must get the Evil Angel channel at extra cost and you might get 18-20 scenes while TBP facts lists the site as having 78 scenes. On the other hand, here you also get pictures and probably higher video resolution (for sure at 720p and, according to the tour, also up to 1080p). Plus the live shows and perhaps some behind the scenes content.
Personally, though, I am concerned with the absolutely unknown billing provider "sexandcash". Also, the "SPECIAL BONUS FOR FULL MEMBERS - Free Membership to the official AssTitans.com website" at the sign up page is at the usual place for cross-sales; according to TBP, it's merely a network access but the billing provider should place it somewhere else less scary: it looks like a cross-sale without opt-out checkbox.

I'm not a member but there's a blog where they post the scenes with dates ("Visit the Clara-G Blog" at the bottom of each page). It looks like they were updating weekly until the end of June 2009 but they only posted a scene between July 2009 and today.
On the other hand, there's a live sex show scheduled for next Friday. Looks like there have been other similar shows in the past available for replay.

Thanks indeed for the long reply.
I like the free group chat concept but, in my experience at other sites, if the model has to keep the chat lively without a moderator to help her, it's a recipe for disaster. I used to think some of the moderators were too anal but then I saw that having a bunch of guys all making requests at the same time, repeating themselves every couple minutes and no moderator to kick them out is not what this chats were meant to be.
Wish they did them at Europe-friendly times; that steak incident is sure memorable. I agree Molly is an absolute hottie; guess there's no need to recommend you her site Molly's Life. Thanks again for the reply.

Deep Throat Love

dracken's Reply
I've been a member recently and there's a mix of good and bad things. There aren't that many boy-girl-girl scenes (about three in total) and they are currently releasing a scene every 2 weeks instead of weekly. But they are now releasing scenes in HD (see my comment on Porn Pros Network from 02-07-09) and the scenes aren't always so rigid in their structure.
If you enter through Porn Pros Network and go to the Deep Throat Love section, there's a better index of scenes than if you go through this site directly.

It's only a typo :) Speed and navigation can be frustrating depending of the severity but I've answered little info about models because I've recently been a member of a couple sites where they failed to properly link to other scenes by the models in the scene. I really don't care about measurements, ethnicity, age, etc. that many sites display in a model's page but if a model interests me, I'd like to be able to find all her scenes in the site.

Whale Tail 'N

dracken's Comment
If you compare the cast at this site with the cast of the DVD series at iafd, there's a lot of overlap. What's more, some of the DVDs are available at DVD sites and the previews there are for the same scenes seen at Whale Tail'N preview pages.
On the other hand, none of the DVDs in the series has Jessica Lynn or Rachel Roxxx (among others) in the cast but Whale Tail'N shows them in the preview page. So, unless there's a DVD in the series not listed anywhere, those might be original scenes.

I used to think punter was a UK slang term for customer, whether it's of a regular shop or a prostitute.

Apart from linking to the full image, thumbnails should help users decide whether they are interested in a picture or not. I agree that automatic cropping is useless for this purpose.
I've never seen it in an adult site but there's a technique that combines resizing and cropping to get a different type of thumbnails: you first crop to the significant part of an image (a human has to decide which part for each image) and then resize to the final thumbnail size. The resulting human-cropped thumbnail would make sense because it would help users choose images much better than a mere resize.
If you take the usual set at sites like Twistys, there's usually little difference between a photo and the next. It would be interesting to see this technique used to highlight those differences via the thumbnails so users would be able to tell whether the model is covering her breast or pinching her nipple; pointing at her pussy or actually fingering it; just smiling or actually licking her lips. And so on. You rarely get this level of detail with a mere resize.
In fact, if you look at the free preview galleries around the net of Twistys and similar sites, you'll see they use this technique in order to leave as little blank space in the page as possible. The ones I've seen, resize the portrait ones and use this technique for the landscape ones.

First of all, thanks to the PU staff for running this poll of mine even though I was unable to put it in a less confusing way.
I'd go for resizing with the same percentage (2) even though you lose a lot of space in the page. My ideal would be cropping to squares (1) but if (and only if) there was some human hand-picking the most important part of the image and cropping to it.
Just as Drooler, the system I dislike the most is cropping landscape to portrait dimensions (3) even though I also find unpleasant when they are resized with different percentages (4): portraits always end up being too tiny.
After I submitted the poll, I came across an equally bad thumbnail system: Bangbros Network makes decent thumbnails with no cropping but resizes them all to some arbitrary landscape dimensions through the HTML code. Thumbnails of portrait pictures end up hinting the full pictures show aliens having sex.

You make a good point but I can't help but think it's someone who bought a couple memberships and is trying to make a few easy bucks
My concern is those videos have an upload date from a year ago and no one has done anything about it. If Clips 4 Sale only offers the "a posteriori" copyright control you suggest, I can't help but doubt they are doing much in terms of enforcing other legal aspects like model releases and so on.

Reality Kings currently has a beta site available to all members where they offer one of the best streaming players I've come across so far in a reality site: flash technology, thumbnails of key frames and everything you'd probably expect after your experience with VideoBox.
Take into account, though, that Reality Kings used to have a disappointing WMV streaming system that is the only one still available at the old members area.
On the other hand, I believe they are constantly making changes to the player. I've used it only occasionally and the way it looks like now is very different than what I remembered from a couple weeks ago. It's also somewhat better than I remembered.
If you want to queue the download of some scenes, keep in mind that scene URLs change every few hours.

Since this site is just a platform for studios to sell their content, maybe you could try contacting both the studio where you bought the clip and the common Clips 4 Sale tech support.

I'm also using the beta site and I don't see a download limit either. I've downloaded up to 8 Gbytes from a single site in 12 hours and haven't hit any noticeable limit.

No harm done. When a company offers a plethora of sites and some of them offer access to some of the others, it sometimes gets confusing which site you should join to get the most content.
After reading the TBP follow-up review on Mega Site Pass back in March 2009, it seemed that Mega Site Pass was offering a subset of what is available through Porn.com. That's why I wrote the comment wondering if Porn.com gave you all the Mega Site Pass plus the Download Pass content while Mega Site Pass and Download Pass memberships alone didn't offer access to one another.
Regarding the billing concerns, it's good to know that your billing provider would block people from joining two sites that give access to the same content, like Porn.com and one of the exclusive reality sites.

I had the same question when I wrote my Porn.com comment on 03-14-09 (Mega Site Pass + Download Pass = Porn.com?). At that time, according to the TBP facts and what I could gather from my Porn.com membership, it looked like you got the most content possible when joining Porn.com; the other two sites only gave you partial content. On a side note, I was unpleasantly surprised about not getting any reply from someone at the company since they have a pretty active webmaster at PU.
I never gave much importance to a company offering the same content through different domains (TBP is extremely helpful in identifying these situations) but you certainly have a point regarding customers accidentally joining the same content from two different domains.
On the other hand, I once tried to join a site through ccbill to get a temporary offer even though I had a couple days left of a monthly membership. ccbill detected the credit card I was using was still linked to a valid membership to the site and didn't let me join again. I wonder if the billing setting / provider this company uses in its myriad of sites would also block similar double membership attempts.
