Got an email yesterday that said ccBill accounts were being transferred because of the sale of Femjoy to Gamma. My annual subscription immediately stopped working. A chat with support didn't help other than they said the issue should be resolved in a day or two. I truly hope this isn't the beginning of the end for Femjoy.
I'm a little dissappointed that the annual subscription rate is now among the highest in this genre at $119. That is more than Met Art, Hegre, MPL and Watch4Beauty. The $89 annual rate listed by PU no longer works. I've been a member of FemJoy for nearly a decade but am going to wait until I see a better rate someplace before I renew.
I logged into my annual subscription and the format has changed! It is so much better that the old one! Big images, huge thumbnails, fewer clicks, very clean look. Rally nice!
....except file sizes are still 800,1200 and super large 5500. I hope they are listening!
I've been a member of this site for many years but am getting increasingly frustrated because Femjoy is not keeping up with the times when it comes to file sizes. The small and medium download sizes are microscopic by today's standards. Small files are 800x535 and medium files are 1200x800. That is about 1/5 and 1/2 of my monitor's screen resolution (1920x1080). I've complained about this before and thought I got a response that they were working on it. Apparently not. Now the LARGE files are 6000x4000 these days, which is fine, but those large zip files take a long time to download, are slow to load and use up to half a gig of disk space each. Please, please please!!! Change the file sizes so you have a 2000 or 3000 option like Met Art, Hegre Art, X-Art, W4B, MPL and the rest of the sites in your niche. The larger size is OK (although several other sites are at 10,000 now), but the site has to bump up the size of the smaller images.
I got another "please come back" offer today for, get this, $7.95 a month. The teaser shows a new site called "brutalPOV" which looks like an interesting concept of POV bondage sex. So I went to the site. Entered all my info and clicked Join only to be presented with a new page that shows the monthly rate at $39.95!!!!! If you get this offer and you have been a member before, it looks like the only way to actually cash in on it is to use a different browser and different email address...maybe. That's what I had to do last time. Fetish Network...where the biggesst fetish is fucking over the customers. If I decide to run the gauntlet and sign up again, I'll update my review.
Also, it looks like the link in PU for $9.95 is broken.
First, the site has stopped creating new material for most of the old sites and created a few new ones that are even lamer than the old ones.
Second, cancelling is even more difficult than before. There is a cancel page, but all it does is offer you a discount and does not confirm you have been cancelled. THe only clickable option on the page is to continue your membership. They are now using a "service" from Segpay called Segpay gateway. If you call, email or chat with Segpay, they insist that they have no record. I had all of the billing information right in front of me and he still said he had no record. (Really sucks on their part....I guess I'll never use Segpay again). The ONLY way to cancel is through the web site. I have seen a lot of crappy billers before, but this one, supported and condoned by an otherwise decent biller, is the worst. After 10 minutes chatting with a guy at Segpay, he basically said that the only thing I can do is contact the webmaster at Fetish Network. Wow. That's incredible.
So all of the folks here telling you about cancellation issues are absolutely correct. Cancelling at Fetish Network is a pain much more real than any of the simulated fetish crap they post.
Looks like these guys are sending out $9.95 offers to former members or to some list they got. I decided to re-join, but when I rejoined using the same info as before, I got some kind of "not eligible for offer" response. Interesting... When I tried it again and used a different email address, there was no problem. Goofy. It looks like there are some new micro sites but it also looks like a few other ones I wrote about before have stopped updating. I'll write a revised review within the next few weeks.
Well, it looked like updates were happening every two weeks or so, but I've been a member for almost a month now and there have been no updates since February 2nd. More than a little disappointing.
I joined a few days ago after seeing this site on the TBP frontpage. Saw the other messages here and thought I would get a jump on cancelling. Support page is totally useless for cancellation. Waiting on response to my email cancellation request. Hopefully, the part that says (exact quote)" All cancellation requests MUST be made 30 days before the next billing cycle." is not correct because if it is, they will almost automatically get everyone for 2 months.
Update: I did get an email back from support today confirming they had cancelled my subscription and I will not be charged again. Email request was on the 8th. Response was on the 12th. Keep that lead time in mind if you sign up and decide to cancel.
Somebody "not-trusted" me because I dissed this site so I signed up again thinking maybe it had changed. Navigation is a little different. Sets are still not dated. Still one set a week. Now only about 275 sets total. One new model I recognize from Hegre.com (Ageta here, Magdelena on Hegre, one of the circus twins...) The rest are amateurs. Still very little make-up. Still very clinical. Sstill very little eye contact. Mostly horrible photo-set videos showing how gawky most of these girls are. Many recent release videos are not full HD and several recent videos have opening credits listing a different web site (so it is older purchased content). I wrote an updated review but it dissappeared when my PU login timed out so all I have time to write is a comment. Still rate it less than 70. There are a few much better "flexy" sites and several softcore sites that do flexy occasionally, but much better than this. I just spent $30 to see if maybe my impression of this site was wrong. It wasn't.
I signed up for naked gymnast and was surprised to see watermarks that said flexyteen. So I went to Flexyteen and was able to log in with me NG account info. EXACT same site! The only difference was the text across the top of the 1999 web page. I would have been really pissed if I had signed up for both. See my review under Naked Gymnast.
I don't understand why anyone would join a site that has no preview whatsoever. You go to this site and click the I'm an adult link and go directly to the sign-up page. None of the links on the main page are active, so you can't see the models page, any statistics, sample sets, anything. Not a single sample. That makes this site a huge nope for me. I'm amazed that a TBP review can even give this site a 69....
I just spent $10 at Gamelink to download a VR video of Megan Rain. Looked OK so I thought I'd try it. (I do not normally buy pay-per-download services because they usually suck, but I thought I would try this one and write about it here.... Ha!) It took 3 HOURS for the 5 gig file to download and 2 hours along the download failed. I tried to restart it but could not so I started over. While waiting I decided to take a look at the piece that had already downloaded. Opening credits? BADOINK! It was a Badoink video! I went back and looked and there in tiny text one one of the pages it says studio: BadoinkVR. My Badoink subscription just expired and this video was new. So this file was either authorized by Badoink or stolen and loaded here so somebody could make some money. Either way, selling the video on a pay-per-download website is an INCREDIBLY SLEAZY thing to do. I'll be reaching out to the Badoink webmasters to let them know. Be very careful to check the attribution on these videos. You may be MUCH better off just going to the source web site.
Update: I heard back from support at Badoink that they use Gamelink VR to "market" some of their videos. Well, that really sucks and is incredibly disappointing. When a web site places their material on Pornhub, you can preview it and it is incredibly clear where the material is from. Here, there is no preview, you get a couple of pictures and it isn't really obvious where the material is from. And the download speeds are SO BAD. So I'm still saying don't waste your money here. If you can tell where a video is from, just go to that site.
I'm looking at the pages I can see (not at all a tour or set of samples) and I recognize a lot of models that have not been shooting since 2011 or earlier. Awesome models, but long gone from this business.
Can anyone tell me if they are updating and, if so, is it new shoot material or archive stuff?
Hegre.com, formerly Hegre-art.com is an excellent minimalist softcore site that has been around since 2002, publishing at least 1 new set every day since then. I previously wrote at least 1 review for it. Unfortunately, somebody at TBP completely wiped out the reviews for the old site name (even though the URL still works) so this site has no reviews. What's up with that?
I just signed up again with a $75 annual subscription. This is one of 4 or 5 soft-core modeling sites that are always worth getting a long term subscription to.
I have been a member of this site a few times and just circled back around after 2 years or so. There is no preview and I can't tell if the site is generating new material or not. Funny that it is a Met Art site but isn't in the Met Art site list.....
I just signed up again for ITC at the 1080p download price of $34 a month. I was pleased to see some 3d videos for some of the girls so I started to download a few of those. Unfortunately for me, these files are larger than the standard files and within 10 MINUTES OF JOINING I hit my download limit for the hour, which was 10GB. In real 3d, one file can be 10GB... What's even worse is that I only actually downloaded 1 3D VIDEO before the thing shut me down. I could not even stream the videos and could not download images. That REALLY SUCKS! Checking the pricing matrix, the claim is that a 1080p file is 2.2gigs. That means that you can download files at just about the speed you can watch them. The only way to get unlimited downloads is to sign up for the unlimited 4K membership at $70 a month. So, rather than have an annual membership like I do at several other sites, I'm forced to sign up here once a year because they don't have annual memberships, and then I'm penalized because I didn't pay nearly what an annual membership would cost at other sites in order to the last year's worth of material. Very, very sleazy accounting here. Would I pay $120 for an annual membership? Probably but I asked and they don't have one. Instead, they want me to pay $70 for ONE MONTH so I can get more than about a months' worth of material. With all the top notch sites and excellent values out there, this is really bad accounting and marketing.
ITC Webmaster, your download metering limits are the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen on the Internet and I've seen a lot! I'm sure you have some great excuse for screwing me this way but it still screws me. Too bad. As I've said, I like your site, but I really hate this marketing strategy.
As much as I like this site, I am a little disappointed that there are no long term membership options. The price structure is set up for monthly only, so that means I have to join two or three times a year to "load up" and then quit. I would gladly pay the typical 3-months membership fee to have this site all year. Oh well.
So all this time I've been thinking In the Crack was an ANAL site! I'm not really into that, so I stayed away. Wow was I wrong. The name of the site should really be In your Face because there are a lot of terrific, popular US and European models spreading lips and getting within a few inches of the camera. There is some anal, but the videos are broken up in a way that provides the view of your choice.
Yes, it is a video site, but generally there is one image set per video. Yes, the images could be larger. Yes, there are some odd download issues occasionally. But there is a TON of material here. Absolutely worth your $
The folks at Mr. Skin seem pretty busy these days. I signed up for their lifetime deal and have since been offered several others for $99. Today it was this Interactive GF site. Funny how I just asked PU folks about it yesterday....
Now....I just went straight to the site to see what the regular prices are and notice there is NO monthly option. There is a trial (one scene, $0.95), a 90 day sign-up ($59.95) and a 1 year sign-up ($119.40). If I didn't know any better (I don't), I might think these guys are cash strapped...either that, or they grossly overestimated the appeal of interactive material and invested too much into it.
I look at this site and wonder if it is any better than a regular site. There used to be a similar "pay to play" site that is now gone, I think. Has anybody tried this one?
