"I personally didn't have any problem finding plenty of content I haven't seen before."
That's the appeal of sites like Brazzers and Reality Kings, but at a higher price. Huge volume plus some exclusive stuff makes this site look like a real find. Thanks.

BTW, I went to the TBP review where Spencer says there is a lot of exclusive stuff, so my request above is for confirmation.
So far this site looks like it's a horndog's dream come true. Brain Pass looks like a great companion to Video Box. Joining both should keep you busy enough to not need any other porn sites.

Goldfish's Review
Based on this review I checked out the preview site. It looks like it's a huge buffet room with endless offerings that should keep a horndog quite busy for a long time. And at $90 per year ($7.50 per month) it definitely looks like a good deal.
The preview site suggests, however, that a lot of the content (if not all) is not exclusive. Can you confirm that?

I agree. I joined PU two years ago and have grown to appreciate very much when a webmaster participates in discussions and responds to issues in a positive and constructive way.
As far as I'm concerned a site whose webmaster participates in a Porn User discussion like this warrants serious consideration for my hard earned money.

That would be the opposite of me. I'm just under 83 even though I gave scores of 51 and 50 to some abysmally lousy sites. If I had the energy I would go back and audit the calculation but I'm too busy reading reviews and watching videos that feature copulation (and other associated activities such as fellatio and cunnilingus) between consenting adults.

I've got In the Crack on my long list (it's over my max of $30) of sites to check out once I win the lottery and don't care about price any longer and it's in there with the Dev8 sites (they are all $30) in the high interest group. But I'm still checking the sites that are under $25 which are, by and large, quite good.
Because I've only checked out the preview site (gotta love Andie Valentino's super hi-def sample-1920x1080 (1080p) full HD) I really don't know much about the In The Crack site except what I see there. Dev8 provides a lot more opportunity to sample their stuff and I agree with you about the feel being European. (I believe, based on the TBP review, but do not know, that Dev8 Entertainment, Ltd. is a British Virgin Islands company.)

OOPS. The similarity of this site to Ass Traffic and similar sites screwed me up.
Indexxxed.com is not related at all to In The Crack or to Charisma.
Sorry about that.

All sites operated by Dev8, including this one, are summarized at indexxxed.com so if you want to search all scenes for a specific model on a specific site (or all sites) you can go to indexxxed.com. It's a free site, BTW, and a place to go to find trailers for every scene on every site operated by Dev8.

atrapat's Review
Great job and the review is spot on to this 3+ year subscriber.
And I agree with the need for an improved search function. There are so many videos where the pornstars are mis-identified (or their names are misspelled) and so many more where the names are simply not provided that the only good way to find a particular pornstar is to go to ifdb.com, get a title inventory and search for the title. But as atrapat says, they have a less than optimal metadata search capability so even that isn't the best answer.
The shame is with 6,000+ titles, they've got some really great stuff that will be lost to all but a very few very determined people who are willing to check out each title one-by-one.

pornoman's Review
So you feel the site is worth about $45.00 per month (at the current exchange rate of the Euro)? Why?
VideoBox provides 35 new DVD's per week (no variability, always one new one every 4 hours and 48 minutes without fail) and they just passed an inventory of 6,000 DVD's at a price ($9.95) that is only 22% of the price of XXX Movie Online. Please give us some idea why you feel XXX Movie Online is worth more than 4 times as much as Video Box.
How well does their search function work? The preview site does not have a pornstar search function; just a genre and studio search function. How can I determine what videos they have with, say, Gianna Michaels or Carmella Bing?
Why does it seem that the majority of videos concentrate on ladies that look like they are Pahrump, Nevada 1980's rejects (that is over 50 years of age)?
Who is their billing service?
What is the size and bit rate of their stuff?
I have a lot more questions, but hopefully you get my point that a score of 100 seems totally unwarranted for a site that even TBP hasn't reviewed.

Don't know. It depends on the item and the message.
I refuse to wear anything with blatant logos like LaCoste or Nike unless I get it free. Why should I advertise the brand of something that cost big bucks in the first place?
On the other hand, I have no problem with coffee mugs and similar stuff if it's tasteful. (My favorite mug these days is "I suffer from CRS (Can't Remember Shit.") That's tasteful, isn't it? :-)

ControllingMind's Review
I agree, this review is great. The comment that you added about a $10 break by going via Catalina Cruz's site instead of through this site is good stuff as well.
Can you provide a rough guess on how many updates are made in the entire network in a typical week or month?

messmer's Review
Because messmer seldom misleads, I decided to check this site out. I found something on the preview site that I've never seen before so I thought I'd share it with my fellow PU's.
Cathy (and her hubby) clearly enjoy doing porn and open the door to any who want to join them.

- Send me a picture of yourself :
You know what I look like so I would like to know what you look like. A nude photo is not necessary .. but please send one if you want to. I do want to be able to see your face and preferably some of your body. If you want to also show me your cock then please do .. I would love to see it .. hehe.
Stuff You Need To Know
The following is VERY important stuff that you really need to know. Before we meet you must agree to everything below.
- You will need to get tested :
I am allergic to latex .. and plain don't like condoms .. so if you are going to fuck me you must get tested for HIV+ Std's and then bring with you the original test results showing that you have tested negative. This test can not be older than 30 days. I will also get tested and show you my results. ** NO TEST = NO SEX **
etc.

I have gone through their preview site several times. Having been burned in the past by terrific preview sites where the actual site is not even close to the promises, when I read the comments and reviews for ALS written earlier I got the feeling that there was some hesitation by others. You, on the other hand, sounded enthusiastic so I put ALS on my long term list to consider again in spring 2009.
That's why I asked if the updating and improvements you reported were continuing.
Clearly they have a first class site and clearly the time is right to sign up.

The setting is always important in any video creation but is especially so in the production values required for porn, where the lighting and camera angles must never be affected by the nature of the setting.
That said, I get turned off when I see the same old couch with the same old sheet or blanket (that's probably crackling with dried up cum) used over and over...or that unfurnished house for sale in Chatsworth that they hired for the shoot that day.
A well thought out setting like a working fireplace or a poolside encounter can add a lot to the scene.

By "update" I was referring to your comments in October about tech improvements they were working on.
Are things better now? Worse now? Or about the same as they were back in October? Are they doing a good job on upgrading older content? Etc.

mbaya's Review
I'm a long time subscriber (at the $19.99 "please stick around" rate that was offered when I canceled last Fall) and agree with a lot of what you say. In fact I just submitted a poll question prompted by your review about a site's search function. FTV's is the worst in the business.
I really like the quality of the current HD videos and the very detailed and extended shots of a babe's body. I also like the fact that there is seldom any lighting issues and phony orgasm grunting.
And I find the current crop of models in the new releases to be outstanding and love the video work on them.
That said, I really don't like (I have written the webmaster about this), is the amount of time spent on a single aspect. While a dildo insertion in a lovely young cunt is a great thing to watch, when a 10 minute segment starts and finishes with the exact same camera position and the model is still pumping away with her toy, it gets rather boring.
I also dislike the fact that there is no opportunity to download an entire set at one time. This is the only "premium priced" site I am aware of that hasn't caught up with the technology.
The naming convention mbaya mentions also sucks, but what's worse is that they have some pornstars in their sets that are identified by completely different names and are described as if they were some young college girls doing soft porn as a lark. (Among their stuff you can find Carmella Bing, Phoenix Ray and Gianna Michaels, all having been posted long after their successful porn careers were in full swing but with silly first names like Clara and Becky.) To their credit they do have Isabella Camille and Jessie Capelli identified accurately.
As a final note, being a tit man and leg man myself, FTV's productions do an excellent job of showing absolutely gorgeous and well thought out explorations of those body parts of each model.
In my humble opinion, mbaya's score is a very fair one and reflects my opinion as well.

As you I'm OK with the "null listings" (names in the dropdown with no content or incorrect content). I saw that when I played with the preview site.
The issue is the number of cases where a particular star is not mentioned at all in the list but who does have content. In my earlier post I mentioned Natasha Nice and Jenna Doll who have content in Adult.com but are not listed in the pornstar list.
Because they chose not to list those two (and others) you can only hope to stumble on them as you surf through all titles.
Mind you, it's more like a treasure hunt than a problem because they become happy discoveries when they show up unexpectedly, but I definitely would not score their tagging as 10/10. Their tag accuracy is not much better than that of VideoBox.
I have run into some other issues with the site as well, but I'll save them up for a complete review after I've given it a full workout.
But having been on the Adult.com site now for 3 days, overall I am very happy with it (I've added a lot of brand new stuff to my stash already), and it's all because of your excellent review. I was unaware of it previously. Thanks for that.

TrashMan's Review
I joined the site based on TrashMan's review and on the $14.95 deal in the cross sell on Brazzers and will be posting a review after about a month.
But a few initial observations:
-Very fast download speeds (fastest I've experienced) at 10-12pm Pacific.
-The pornstar list is the longest I've seen. Unfortunately it's also among the most inaccurate as well. Many of the models that appear in their content are not listed. (The first two I looked for were Jenna Doll and Natasha Nice. Although not in the index, they both have two or more videos in the site that do not duplicate videos on VideoBox or other sites.)
-The search engine will search names and genres but there's no video title search. The good news is that it also has a boolean, key word search engine that will search by terms (names and titles) and will list the results in order of relevance. I was able to locate videos with Natasha Nice and Jenna Doll that way.
-The search engine is slow.
-The screen caps are good but are too small to gauge the desirability of the video and there is no flash feature or photo set to see a short preview. One must download the video to evaluate whether it's a keeper or not.
Last thought. As does TrashMan, I'm liking the site so far, especially because it has a lot of new stuff, and better, does not duplicate a lot of stuff I have in my stash. But I'm disappointed with the accuracy of the tagging and the omissions from the star list. I also don't care for the extra step to download that was mentioned by Trash Man in his review, but it's a minor annoyance.
But the shortcomings I mention above will impact my evaluation.

It's tough to determine from a preview site and PU/TBP reviews frequently do not mention bit rates so if that were a really important factor in signing up, I would not be a mamber of many sites.
However, IF sites would promise a good bit rate and/or if PU/TBP reviews included that stat in the future it would be a very worthwhile addition.

TrashMan, your scored list of 12 sites will be very useful going forward. Last night I was playing around with the Adult.com preview site's searches checking to see what babes were in their inventory and to see if there were titles that would be worthwhile additions to my stash.
My second search was for Anastasia Christ. First disappointment, she showed up with only two scenes. Second disappointment, one of the two was really Jane Darling (Big Boobs in Prague, Scene 3), also a babe but definitely not Anastasia. I already have the Anastasia scene in that video (she's actually in scene 4 and is identified by Adult.com as Laura Lion).
I really like the head shot index a lot but I couldn't find a title search function if there is one. (My fallback on VideoBox is to check iafd.com or CAVR.com to see a summary of titles for a babe, then search the database for those titles.)
The good news is that, after playing around with Adult.com last night, I went over to Brazzers to see if they posted the Friday update. And what did I find? A cross promotion ad for Adult.com that offered the site at $14.95 a month.

TrashMan's Review
To me the most important part is that there is not too much duplication with other (Video Box) sites. I did a little research on some of my fave babes and found enough new stuff on Adult.com to make a one or two month membership very worthwhile.
Question.
I have found that the search function on other sites have been deteriorating as a result of accuracy issues:
VideoBox - Frequent misspelling (Veronika Raquel shows up on VB as Veronica, Racquel, and in one case Rakel) and out-and-out mis-identification has made VideoBox with their 6,000 DVD's a crapshoot in locating specific talent
X Movies and pornstar.com- Accuracy is not as bad as VB's, but the search takes you to the DVD, not to the scene.
VideosZ - Tracking VB in its accuracy deterioration.
What's your impression of Adult.com's accuracy? Have you had any problems finding the babes and/or seeing obvious errors?
