I use Kaspersky. It does a scan of high-risk areas daily and a complete system scan weekly.

No, I've been lucky. But I have had the credit card company call me to check to make sure that they were valid online charges.

While I agree with Schnitzel that it is nice to enjoy a beautiful model in her entirety, there is also something fascinating about looking inside her. I'm sure that if I was a gynecologist, I would have a different opinion, but as a layman, you don't get to see that perspective in everyday life.

I agree with Jay G. If I can only afford the limited trial, then I am better off just waiting to join the whole site.
I really dislike limited trials, especially the ones that give you the first parts of an amateur porn shoot, but leave the actual sex for full members. All that does is give me the impression that you are just out for money.

I put "Maybe" because of a concern similar to Jay G's. It deals less with the fact that she would be a porn actress and more with the fact that she is an actress, period. The same concern applies to dating anyone in the entertainment industry.
A similar issue is that entertainers tend to live, work, and play in an isolated and insulated world. I would certainly date an entertainer who was more down-to-earth and wasn't living in this bubble.

It's a matter of value. If a site is charging more than my entire porn budget, but delivers some amazing content, then I would not consider it over-valued.
But, it's a Catch-22: for a site to charge that kind of money, it would need amazing content. Of course, amazing content isn't cheap, so a site might not have the initial budget to create (or buy) that content. Since it doesn't have great content, it couldn't justify charging a high price, etc., etc.
In the end, I probably wouldn't join any site that is priced above my porn budget, just for the fact that it is a budget and I'd have to take spending money from other areas to cover it.

I answered this poll question from the perspective of "do the scores typically match the reviews?" Like exotics, I am reticent to tell someone whether their opinion is right or wrong. However, if you are rating a site with a 95, it had better be a darn good site and you should be able to defend that score in your review. Conversely, if a site is so terrible that it scores in the 50's, you should be able to explain that, too.
I have found that the reviews are very useful and, for the most part, reflective of the point scores that the reviewer gave out. Like Jay, I also really appreciate the warnings for sites, especially the marginal sites that I'm not sure about joining.
Since there are so many different ways to intrepret it, I look forward to seeing more replies to this poll.

I used to burn archive content, but like Boobs, I could never find what I had archived. Now, with hard drives being so cheap, I either buy a new drive or start deleting the marginal scenes that I kept.

Sorry to harp on this point, but a no-trust vote with a comment is less than optimal.
Not to make this too personal, but I received an anonymous no-trust vote with a comment that I had reviewed too many sites too quickly and that something was fishy with the fact that I could review 20 sites in 2 weeks.
This could be a fair criticism except for the fact that almost all of the sites that I have reviewed belong to the same network, a network which is not reviewed on TBP or PU (PervNetwork). I mentioned this in all of my reviews for the sites, so the person voting no-trust obviously did not read the actual reviews, but simply saw that I was a relative newcomer with a lot of reviews. This is reflective of the last point that I made in my earlier post: anonymous reviews like this can influence honest people to stop coming back to PornUsers or to stop contributing reviews, either of which kills the community. Is discouraging enthusiasm for this site really a good idea for helping it grow?
Furthermore, only allowing 150 characters to respond to those types of criticisms is too few. I couldn't respond fully to the anonymous comment by pointing out that, of the sites not in the network, most were reviewed after I stopped being a member, but within the 6 month window for reviews.
I don't think that the admins can or should moderate the trust comments. There are too many and trust is too personal. However, I think that it would be helpful for other users to know who was making uninformed trust comments because those comments reflect on the person who made them just as much as on the person who is being rated.
Not to put too fine a point on it but anonymity is great unless you can use that anonymity to destroy other people's reputations with impunity.

In my opinion, there shouldn't be any anonymous trust ratings.
First off, the trust ratings help to create community. You create trust networks where two people trust each other and find that they also trust people in common. Anonymous reviews prevent (or at least slow) that from happening.
Second, a no-trust vote with an explanation can lead to dialog, especially if it something that can be fixed. Plus, trust votes can be changed if the issue is addressed.
Third, a no-trust vote with no comment is really indicative of a lazy person. If they can't take the time to explain why they are bad-mouthing someone, they probably deserve a no-trust vote themselves. Even yes-trust votes should have a comment, if only so that the person being reviewed knows what they are doing well.
Finally, I feel that a number of reviewers have been hit with anonymous no trust votes with no comments and that has caused them to stop being active members of PU. That, too, is killing the community of users that is trying to survive here.
I agree with SnowDude: this is not an easy thing to administer. I guess you can tell that my choice would be to do away with anonymous trust ratings entirely.

Wow! 8+ TB. I can only imagine the electric bill and the amount of heat that all those drives generate! How many drives are you using to get that capacity? My PC only has room for 4 internal HDs and I've got just over 2TB (2x750GB and 2x320GB) in it.

I always need more space since I do video editing, but part of the reason that I am running out of space to begin with is my porn collecting. I've bought multiple hard drives (internal and external) plus lots of blank CDs and DVDs to try and manage my ever-growing collection.

No, I would just avoid sites that impose download limits. I think that charging more to avoid download limits is nickel-and-diming your customers and I don't care for it.

I normally use MediaPlayer Classic. It has a cleaner interface. I also use VLC every so often.

I'm going against the previous reviews, but porn is supposed to represent fantasy, too. In today's world, safe, condom-less sex is a fantasy.

Well, I buy all my sex toys online, if that's the question. However, I don't buy very many nor very often.

I guess that those 2 guys with fiber really are lucky bastards. I'm waiting for it so I can get away from my cable company. Plus, fiber for internet and HDTV is a little cheaper than with cable and faster!

I wish I had a nice portable device to use, but I don't. I do listen to some audio porn on my mp3 player. It's a good-enough substitute for hotel rooms where PPV porn is outrageously expensive.

Average is most realistic. What I really can't stand are the porn actors who can't keep it up throughout the scene, especially if they are working with a really hot actress.

I currently use Firefox and IE for those sites that don't work with FF. I wanted to start using Opera but Roboform doesn't work in Opera and I NEED that software to remember all of the site logins and passwords that I have.

WMV is the only one that I know will be supported FOREVER because MS will be around that long. I would love to use an open format like DivX, but what happens when those developers find the next great thing?

I check it in the morning and late at night. That way I catch all of the updates sooner rather than later.

I usually wait a couple of days so that I don't get buyer's remorse from making an uninformed decision. I take time to read reviews and double-check my budget, etc. Of course, I have sometimes made rash decisions, too.

I would like it if they did so I could compare their assessment with that of other PU users. I know lots of sites lie, so that sort of information goes into how much you can trust a site and its webmasters.

I try to focus on the girl in front of me. I might reference a porno position or something, though.
