Thank you.
I think that will be very helpful to anyone interested in joining the site. This way, they can see exactly what sites they will have access to.
Do any of the models have small or medium breasts? I realize that being pregnant increases breast size, but these models have huge breasts. I generally prefer small to medium, myself.
I try to download content that I really like. There's too much out there, that is just average or poor, that would just be wasted space on my hard drives.
i also used XNews. But it stopped updating years ago. And now, to use SSL, you have to use some other program with it. And it's for 32-bit computers, and mine is a 64-bit. And there are other reasons it's outdated.
So I have been playing around with some newreaders, but none are as simple as XNews was.
NewFlash Plus is free, easy to use. But when you download a file, for example, a JPG file, it opens an instance of the file, as well as downloads it.
I have an anti-virus program, Norton Internet Security, but if the files open at the same time that they download, then I think that is a security risk.
I want to download files, scan them for malware, BEFORE I open them.
That's what I do, even from sites I trust, like my paid pornsites: Metart, Diesel Access network, TMW, whatever.
I read years back you can use a stenography program and encode a virus inside a picture of any extension. Jpeg, jpg, bmp, etc.
By "you", I don't mean me and you, but someone who has hacking skills.
I used to collect Playboy Playmate photos years ago.
I just rejoined a newsgroup yesterday, because I was frustrated at how much time and effort it takes to collect Playmate photos from Playboy Plus. It was at least 5 years or more since I was a newsgroup member.
I have to learn how to use a newsreader again, and there are other methods I have to learn. But to build a collection of Playboy Playmates, and to organize it, newsgroup access is still so much easier and less time-consuming than trying to use Playboy Plus.
Easier to build a collection of playmates through newsgroup.
Even though many of the photos of playmates are available at this site, it's easier to build a collection of playmates through a newsgroup than it is through Playboy PLus.
The collection will also be more complete through a newsgroup.
The problem with a newsgroup is that you have to learn to use a newsreader, and pay for the newsgroup access, and a few other methods you will have to learn.
But for fans of past playmates, a newsgroup offers more complete files (in photos, not in videos), and an easier method of collecting and sorting your photos.
It's been many years since I belonged to a newsgroup, but Playboy Plus made me realize that poor site structure (and other problems with the site) makes newsgroup access a worthwhile alternative for collecting Playboy material.
But there is a lot to learn about how to use a newsgroup effectively.
I guess you have to be realistic. But there are sites that have an archive of cute and attractive models that should still be worth something, but the sites go out of business, and that content can be lost.
It's happened in the past, I'm sure it will happen in the future, especially with the downturn that porn sites seem to have experienced in the last few years, whether because of the financial recession, or other factors.
It's not just porn sites. Automotive companies in the US and elsewhere have killed off brands that were around forever. The Oldsmobile brand was over 100 years old when it finally died in 2004.
I tried to load the justteensite page, and the server times out.
Is the site experiencing problems, or is it just a temp thing?
Not a member currently, just wanted to visit the public preview pages.
The magazine and internet site Playboy Plus is softcore. But what surprises me is that the company is heavily into hardcore.
From Wikipedia:
Sales of Playboy magazine peaked in 1972 at over 7 million copies.[2] The company now derives only one-third of its revenues from Playboy magazine, with the other two-thirds from the dissemination of adult content in electronic form, such as television, the internet and DVDs.[3] Much of this electronic revenue comes not from the soft nude imagery which made the magazine famous, but from hardcore pornography connected with the company's ownership of Spice Digital Networks,[4] Club Jenna,[5] and Adult.com [6]
I would guess that all the playmates would have their original photosets on this site.
The photosets are different from the original spreads that were published in the print magazine.
If you ever joined a newsgroup and collected the playmate photosets, you would have a better understanding of what I mean.
The site structure could be laid out much better.
To try to find a playmate, you can either enter her name in the search box, which gives her photos and videos, plus any other matching name. Like I said in the review, if you enter the search term "Christine Maddox", the results include any model named "Christine", and any model named "Maddox". So you get results that don't include "Christine Maddox", and you have to search (open) each file to see if that model is in that file, or use some other way to exclude files that are not what you want.
Trying to collect all the photosets for each playmate is a time-consuming process.
The site stucture does not make it easy.
The Playboy Plus site has the following categories:
(But here again, searching through each category is a time-consuming process. It would have been much better if they organized the contents based on the date the playmate-model-cybergirl was first published in the physical magazine or on the internet site).
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
-Discount through PU. $14.95 instead of $29.99/month.
-Easy login. No captcha.
-Can view photosets as slide show or download the zip set.
-Long time before site timeout.
-Good download speeds. I'm getting 1.3 MB/sec, my max download speed.
-DownThemAll download manager works at this site.
-Choice of download version quality: Many videos have a WVGA480, HD720, and a HD1080 version.
Cons:
-Uncheck pre-checked cross-sell.
-Search could be better. Search term "Christine Maddox" returns any photoset with the name of "Christine" as first name or last name, instead of specifically returning only photosets with the name of "Christine Maddox" included.
-Also, either they are missing photos of past playmates, or the search does not return all the photos of those playmates. For example, the annual photoguide of past playmates of the year photos are sometimes not included in the search result. There are other past photos of playmates and models that are either not on the site, or not returned by a search of the model's name.
-Some bugs in the navigation or site structure. You play a slide show of Susie Scott, and it only plays a few of the 24 photos in the set, then stops. Can't get it to play/show all the photos in the set.
-Photoset of a playmate does not include the data sheet.
Bottom Line:
-Back in the 1960s and 1970s, Playboy was the premier "gentleman's magazine". Penthouse was a close second. Both those magazines were renowned for their nude photography, as well as their articles and fiction and interviews. They were money-making machines that brought their founders vast wealth. Those days are history. Both Playboy and Penthouse have flirted with bankruptcy in recent years.
This is supposed to be a softcore glamor photo and video site. Given the Playboy name, you would expect to find superior, high quality photos and videos of their models.
-I don't know why, but there are superior copies of their onsite photos available elsewhere. Years ago, I belonged to a newsgroup, and I collected the photos of most playmates.
You look at the photos at this Playboy Plus site, and the photos just don't have the same impact as the photos that I collected. The basic image is the same, but the images I collected from the newsgroups were more striking.
-Some photos are mis-labeled. You play a slide show of a photoset, and instead of identifying the model(s) in each photo, the label shows the title of the photoset. So you have to know from other sources (or your own special knowledge) who these models are.
-No choice of download version quality for zip photosets. This is surprising. For a photo-oriented site, the only option I see is for one definition of a zip file download, not the standard 3 definitions that many photo sites have of low, medium, and high quality.
-The quality of the "high definition" video files can be poor. For example, the video for "stacy-fuson-paymate-of-the-month-vid-01.mp4" is 1920x1080, total bitrate is 6049 kbps, which would seem to indicate a high quality, high definition video. But the frame rate is 7 frames/second, which might explain why the video is a poorly defined video picture. I've seen the DVD which this video is made from, and the video is much sharper than the video you download from Playboy Plus.
Let me be clear. Watching the downloaded video is like watching a shitty version of the video you should be watching.
The streaming version of that video is better quality, but nowhere near the quality of Metart, Diesel Access network, or other fine sites. The video quality of a streaming video at Playboy Plus is actually below the quality of the Teen Mega World videos.
That is amazing to me. Don't the people running this site realize the video quality of their videos is so poor, compared to the better sites on the internet?
Maybe they are blind to the poor quality of their photographs, which is not as bad as the quality of their video downloads. But the obvious degradation of their video download files is pathetic, for a site that is supposed to empasize the beauty of the female form.
The site does not use DRM. But the poor quality of the video files I have downloaded, in effect, means you can not save a high quality video file. And I am going to sign up for a new membership to a newsgroup, because I believe I will be able to find better quality photos of past playmates from a newsgroup than I can find at this Playboy Plus pay site.
I don't believe my expectations for this site were too high. But what I've found at this site, in terms of photo image quality, and video image quality, is a massive disappointment.
Not all videos are as bad (poor definition) as these 2 videos of Stacy Fuson. The videos of Erika Eleniak are better. Not great, not as good or defined as high quality sites like Metart or Diesel Access, but still better than the Stacy Fuson videos.
Giving the site a score of 68. I believe the quality of the photos at the site is inferior to what you will find at high-quality sites like Metart and MPL Studios and Femjoy.
And the quality of the videos is even further below what you will find at those other sites.
Comparing the photo and video quality of this site to high grade sites on the internet, you begin to realize the Playboy brand has really fallen from its former quality standards.
I've had the 5-month membership in the past, but I am currently on a special offer monthly subscription.
But I have access to all the Diesel Access network sites, and now with the new program, I now have access to the two Wow sites as well.
I like the videos and photosets at these sites, and the sites are much easier to use, because I don't have to hunt through a bunch of junk to find content that I like.
