I'm wondering if Buttman.com contracted with the people running clara-g's site to run their site. Something changed and it ain't for the better. There have always been 2 levels of log-in that the site does - at the Buttman.com level and at the EA-Network level. No problem when the 2 took 30 seconds total.
Today, the first level took more than 5 minutes and now, for the second level, it was more than 10 minutes, referring to "waiting for clara-g.com" at the bottom of the page.
Hopefully they'll get it smoothed out. I don't plan on renewing my membership to this network when my current membership period is over, but I'd like to get value out of it while I'm still a member.
Happy New Year! Pix and Video has now drastically cut back their updates - from Daily for years to 3 Times Per Week - as stated now on their home page:
If you're willing to join for 1 year, however, you can also be a member for approximately 1/2 what you could before. The best deal I was aware of when I last joined was $49.95/90 days. Now you can join for $95.40/year
Well-deserved in my opinion. I know that some don't care for the frequency of the toy play in their sets, but for me it all comes down to the models - do I like them, do they seem engaged, is the material being posted a turn-on - and it's yes, yes & yes for me.
When I first was a member of Nubiles, I found that there were sets where very hot models just looked bored and un-inspired and I don't find that these days.
It's quite a good site that gives the impression of striving to get better and I thought TBP's high score was well-deserved.
I joined this site when they sent out the mailers to former ATK members offering $9.99/mo membership - and at that price, this site is very much worth it.
ATK's editorial position seems to be that virtually every woman alive that is willing to pose nude should be used as a model - so I find that I have to do a LOT of clicking in order to find models that I am interested in seeing much of - and I frequently click away quickly wishing that I hadn't seen what I just did. I'm not a fan of their Natural & Hairy site - not my thing at all - and there's a lot of that material here.
But there's a large number of sets of Sarah Blake. There are a lot of sets of Sandra Shine. And there are a lot of real "finds" if you are willing to click until you find babes that are hot.
The presentation of new material doesn't give you much of a clue as to what you'll find when you click - and the presentation of the vids is so - well, crappy - and there are so many unattractive models on this site (for my tastes) that I'm not even bothering to look at vids.
But I like finding new babes and hidden jewels so I plan on sticking around - they are currently posting material with a copyright date of 2004 so I'm sure that there will be lots of good stuff to come - and members of this site certainly don't need to worry about a dearth of updates, which come at a rate of 75 or so per week.
Vanessa liked the site more than I did, which is fine, but one thing that definitely needs correction is the part of the review that states that Ass Titans is currently a bonus of Clara-G.com. I was a member from mid-October to mid-November (she did her review 5 days after my membership) and it was definitely not a bonus at that time.
On October 8, 2009, their C/S responded to a couple of inquiries that I had about the site and stated:
2) AssTitans is no longer a bonus site for Clara-G and vice versa.
Thank you for the email and looking forward seeing you making an account
with us :)
So I'm not sure how Vanessa could have had access to this Ass Titans bonus, since their C/S definitively told me that this bonus didn't exist any longer - as was my experience for the period right before Vanessa's review was done - strange.
Actionjav.com used to have what to me was a confusing pair of membership options - VIP membership was a monthly join of $34.95/month and gave you access to vids in RealPlayer and WMV format. Then they had a DIVX membership that was a bit less expensive, as I recall, and gave those members a set limit of gb to download within a month. Those members were only able to download vids in the DIVX/avi format. Once those members hit their download limit, or the 30 days, whichever came first, their membership was over.
Actionjav.com has now made a change to one membership option - $34.95/month - with access to all content. Those members who had purchased the DIVX membership will have their membership converted to a monthly membership - I don't know if it will automatically renew at the higher price or not. But they might gain a lot if they have been frenetic downloaders and were about to reach their limit and now have the remainder of the 30 days to download to their heart's content without a download limit.
On the downside, they have backed off from their 5 vid update schedule/day - they now promise 4 or 5 updates per day.
I don't know of another site in this genre promising and delivering 4 or 5 complete recent jav's per day, so they haven't killed their site, just making things less confusing membership-wise and saving themselves a bit of money by cutting back a bit on the updates.
DDF has now announced a limited time only deal - good until Jan 5, 2010, they say
Join their 10-site DDF Megapass for a 3-month period - $79.95 is the US price - and you get 1 month access to EveAngelOfficial.com - and you get entered in a drawing to be flown to Budapest to watch an Eve Angel photoshoot and have dinner with her.
Apparently they have also consolidated their 10 sites in the megapass into ddfprod.com so you don't have to be looking in 10 different sites for updates
I've been banging on Babelicious, so I may as well start bashing the mother ship - it's interesting looking through the comments in PU to see the warnings about their secondary sites shutting down with the webmaster quickly saying "Oh, no - that's not happening."
Well, not only did it happen, but their only updates can be found much better elsewhere earlier posted by their main competition.
The only photo update at Sexybabes.tv yesterday was Samantha Ryan's "blue" set - available at 1 size only. This same set was posted as one of 3 photo sets 2 days earlier by Twisty's in a larger size.
How clueless do you have to be to be posting material that's redundant of your competition, put it out later, and put it out in an inferior quality. Plus you have to come up with your own names for each individual pic that you want to save at SexyBabes.tv since they give them such distinctive names as 001, 002, etc.
They can't be bothered doing anything more than licensing the crap and slapping it onto the site.
I'm reminded of Samuel Jackson's comment to Robert DeNiro in Jackie Brown - "What happened to you? You used to be beautiful!"
Babelicious used to be hot when it first opened - great photosets in high res - multiple sizes, not too much photo-shopping, Sexybabes.tv had some nice stuff usually. And when I joined their related site Babes.tv, I found it to have a unique personality, kind of gritty.
Now, the whole group of them are same-old, same-old, licensed seen-it-all-before crap photoshoots, photo-shopped pics done with no taste whatsoever, there's no personality, there's nothing distinctive, it's just blaaaaahhhh crap.
If I were reviewing this site now, I'd give it a zzzzzzz
Whoever runs these sites stopped caring a long while ago - and so should discriminating porn fans.
Close it up - ain't nothing happening here at all!
I read the new TBP review over a couple of times to make sure that I wasn't missing things.
But the review doesn't mention something that's a huge issue for anybody that joins wanting to immediately download their HD vids - which is that you can't - you have to be a member for 6 months before you can download those vids - unless Brazzers waited until I had passed that period myself and then suddenly changed their policy - or give reviewers a pass that acts as though the reviewer has been a member for 6 months.
I'm rather dumb-founded that this waiting period isn't mentioned in the review, while the size of the d/l files is mentioned.
I got a heads-up today on the need for members of Twistys to keep good track of their book-keeping. I got a "your membership has expired" e-mail with a "special invitation" to re-join at a price higher than the price that I'm paying with my current membership deal.
I wasn't sure that my membership should have expired, so I tried to just log-in - no problem. My membership is still ongoing.
So make sure that you keep track of your book-keeping and don't get suckered into a redundant join because of Twistys incorrect records.
It's a bit unexpected to see a scene with an intense dom quality at ALS Scan, so I'm pretty thrilled to see the new Hailey Young fem dom of Tanner Mayes. I fell for Tanner from the first moment I set eyes on her - she's like the ultimate little fuck nymph. Hailey I wasn't a fan of until I saw her energy in the first beach scene they posted of Hailey with Jana Jordan.
Hailey's a great dom and unlike most fem dom scenes, there's a great antagonistic energy with Tanner's brattiness resisting the domination. Bruce Seven used to go for that kind of dynamic in some of his scenes with Careena Collins, but most dom scenes these days are much more "know your role" where the subs just take it without resistance.
Fans of fisting, pee play, fem dom would definitely like this scene. I'll be interested in hearing about how other ALS Scan fans like it - I'm obviously pretty thrilled.
I just checked on this since the TBP review says that is the case, but when I click on the "Join Now" page for ClaraG.com, it has an offer to get 3 days of membership to AssTitans.com for $1 followed by a charge of $29.95/month.
That doesn't sounds like any free bonus to me, so I suspect that there is no longer any free bonus membership to Ass Titans
Also, does anybody know if either ClaraG.com or Ass Titans are archiving their live shows? Neither site indicates that they do.
This site flew under my radar until yesterday. Clara G was the host to the Buttman.com live show, which was wild and fun as expected. The great thing about Stagliano's shows is that nothing is as it seems to be - the last show started with a staged fight in the parking lot between the 2 principal women, was invaded first by a 3rd woman, then by virtually everyone in the Evil Angel offices.
This one was funny because neither of the 2 principal women was really into being a dom, so John S suggested to Nicki Hunter, who was there as a production assistant/make-up artist, that she step in and she jumped on that shit with both feet. Then all the women got their hands on Clara G and gave her concerted attention for the last 10 minutes of the show, which was the best part.
It looks like the main updating these days are from the weekly live shows on the site. The more classic scenes were directed by Evil Angel director Raul Christian and some are out on DVD on Evil Angel - I wouldn't be surprised if Raul had done scenes at some of the other sites that Clara G has worked for, since the style looks so similar - not a bad thing, because it's a hot style.
Are you still a member, Exotics? What about others?
TBP has updated their price listings correctly, but that photo of the $9.95 membership is also a thing of the past. It doesn't look to me that their long-term membership has increased yet, though.
Ya know, ya just never know who is going to do things right and who is going to do things wrong over time - you just have to watch. In the battle of the reality sites, I believe that Naughty America is doing things right while Brazzers and Reality Kings are not.
HD - Brazzers made a big deal about HD and then pulled this huge bait-and-switch, where they have this hidden policy - still not announced anywhere on their site until you join 3 months after they started it - saying that you have to be a member for 3 months before you can download HD vids - bull-fucking-shit - complete ripoff! Reality Kings did a big announcement of HD vids - last I heard, they're nowhere to be seen. Naughty America - they've got 'em with no real fanfare - download 'em if you're a member
Live shows - Brazzers made a big deal about their live show - charged members $5/minute!! to watch - incredible ripoff! Reality Kings - what's a live show? Naughty America has many live shows every weekday - with fun and crazy performers and some big names - no extra charge anymore.
They are updating pretty consistently and giving their members a good deal - go NA!
In the new Best Porn Review, something that struck me was this:
Among the cons was that live cam shows are promised but none are scheduled. But then the bottom line headline was that this was an "honest" site.
Huh?
What's honest about promising something significant such as live cam shows and then not delivering them - not having them scheduled, not giving any indication when they will be taking place or when the last one took place, according to the review.
That's not an indication of an honest site in my book, unfortunately. I do like Joanna Angel, though, and saw her do a great live cam show with Jenna Haze at Jenna's site - it's archived there too to be watched at will.
jd commented on this site having lightning fast download speeds in late 2007. I don't know what happened, but I recently re-joined and the past couple of days the download speeds suck - as in 100 kb/sec - when you're talking files that are larger than 1 gb each, that's more than 3 hours to download a vid. That greatly reduces the value of this site - uchhh!!
For comparison, I'm getting 4-5 times the download speed at other sites.
is the new line in the top right hand of the home page. It will be interesting to see how they handle the downloading of HD vids - if they don't do the "wait 6 months" bull-shit that Brazzers is doing, it's going to be interesting to see whether Brazzers changes their current bull-shit bait-and-switch policy.
If Reality Kings is smart, they could beat Brazzers over the head with their "wait 6 months" BS policy and put right on their Home Page - "Download all vids as soon as you become a member" - of course, Brazzers isn't honest enough to even put their policy anywhere on their site until you give them money, people will have to have been clued in by seeing that info here or on other forums.
Sooo, after Brazzers made a big deal about HD coming to Brazzers for every scene, now 3 weeks later they are just discovering that HD means more demand on servers - so what they are saying now is that you have to be a member for 6 continuous months before you can download their HD vids - I kid you not!
OK, so after I saw the news about Brazzers going High-Def, I decided to check them out and see that among the first high-def scenes is a new Jenna Haze scene and the trailer looks really hot - so I'm trolling around the internet looking for hot deals involving Brazzers over the next few days - cause there's always something - and I see an ad for Brazzers Plus - which is Brazzers PLUS Mofos.com - I check out the price and I see a price of $7.95/month if you join for a year, which is what I've been seeing as the price for Brazzers by itself.
So I take them up on it - and I have a confirmed membership to Brazzers.com with no access to Mofos.com - What the fuck?
So I go to their support page. I call the phone # and it's too late - they say that they only have phone support 11 AM to 11 PM eastern. I try their live chat - and their is no live chat support. So I send an e-mail to their support e-mail. And I get a response after a couple of days from someone that obviously didn't even bother to read my original e-mail telling me that I have a membership to Brazzers.com and no membership to Mofos.com - yeah, that's the fucking problem is that I was offered BOTH and I only have ONE - Jeeeezzz!! - so I send a response spelling that out even clearer than my original e-mail.
No response to that - but since it's within the 11 AM to 11 PM Eastern window, I call the phone # support. I'm on hold for 10 minutes and then I get a message at 6:11 PM PST, which is 9:11 EST, telling me that their office is now closed because they are only open 11 AM to 11 PM Eastern - what the fuck??????
They may have a more-than-decent site but they have bait-and-switch offers and NO CUSTOMER SERVICE WHATSOEVER!!!
I've said it before, I'll say it again. ALS Scan is my favorite porn site - and they just proved why again with the first vid up of the 2009 Caribbean trip - 35 minutes of non-stop, unedited crazy girl/girl action - so much that this vid couldn't even stay on a steaming Anita Pearl/Blue Angel pussy eating episode while it was following crazed Jana Foxy/Jordan cavorting with Hailey Young. I love scenes that turn me into an instant fan of girls I wasn't a fan of before - that's how it is with this one. I didn't care much for Hailey Young before - now I adore her for her ability to keep up with the energy of Jana and urge her on to more - the highlight is Jana fisting Hailey with Jana kind of freaking out at the sensation and Hailey grabbing her wrist, forcing further in, screaming "Deeper! Deeper!!" Un-fucking-believable!! ALS's girl/girl stuff make most other sites girl/girl stuff look completely lame, in my opinion. There's just an unconstrained quality that is so wonderful that I've only seen equalled with some of Evil Angel's wildest stuff. But somehow ALS does it without the rough elements, just by unleashing the girls' crazed over-the-top sexuality. I just love this stuff!
And the quality is incredible - 1920 X 1080, 8062 kbps of astounding and wonderful and joyous public beach sex action.
