"Netflix did this when they broke out their DVD & Streaming business into the same cost for each as the cost for both was. They lost my business but obviously their business has grown."
Nice! They lost my business at exactly this point too!

Considering that you probably paid about $30 per site for the porn and 4Tb externals go for under $150, it's an easy call to buy a new drive.

It's not a trick question, but the vagueness makes it hard to answer, especially if you put a lot of thought into it.
To clear one thing up, it's all about the bottom line. If you choose #1 or #2 it should be because you think that losing your base or damaging your product will hurt your bottom line.

I can add a few to the list besides Brazzers:
JustinesBedroom.com - forced to do so
HelenVolga.com - reasons unknown
One other site I can think of too, but I won't call them out on it, because they were really cool about it. They actually waived copyright so that I could get it from one of their previous members.

I knew someone would ask for extreme to be clarified. It's deliberately subjective here, just answer based on what it means to you. This poll was inspired by Acworth saying that he may remove some of the more "extreme" lines on Kink.com to improve sales by reaching a more mainstream audience without clarifying what extreme means. It is open to your interpretation.
I answered both 1 and 2. If the reason for this is to improve sales, I don't think it will work.

That sounds like a terrible system. Not only does it piss customers off, but it wastes the support person's time on the clock.

I don't mind a few, especially if they are actually good discounts at sites that I am interested in. Also, if the ad revenue helps keep membership costs down, then that's a good thing. No deceptive ads though.

When HD came out years ago, some people cautioned that the extra detail may not be appealing when it shows blemishes. As we all know, the market has since voted overwhelmingly in favor of HD, with standard definition video being below almost anyone's standards today for a paysite.

There must be an error here, because I still don't see your email including in my spam folder. I'll contact support about this. In the mean time, to get around this problem, I've made a throw-away email address that I'll post here for you: fscbfnnu.tk1@20minutemail.com . Email me there, then I'll reply to you from my real email. This throw-away email will only be active for 20 minutes.

Hey BadAndy400,
Here I am, replying to another old review of yours! Long story short, you are in a unique position to help out with something because you downloaded ExtremeHolly.com at the time you did. I have been in discussions with PinkVisual about this issue, who since acquired ExtremeHolly.com, and there is something in it for you if you want to get in touch with me. I can't say all the details here, it involves some special arrangements with PinkVisual. That's why I tried to PM/email you, but I figure your email address listed with PornUsers.com might be an old one you don't check often. I check my email listed here daily if you want to get in touch. Anyway, I look forward to hearing from you!

The other thing that I will add is this. There was a time in the early 2000's when scams and shady billing practices were much more pervasive on paysites, and many got a bad name for it. That type of thing angered customers, and probably encouraged piracy. Nowadays, almost every site I've been to is just trying to do honest good work for their customers. On the other hand, judging by the prevalence of piracy today, many customers haven't changed their mindset. The owners really seem to occupy the moral high ground now, and maybe it's time for those who still resort to piracy to seriously reexamine your ways.

Like badandy400 said, it depends on where the line is drawn. In my first, somewhat controversial post on this forum, I mentioned that I had obtained the content of a couple of sites that had been closed for years from someone who uploaded it for free. Granted, this was after first trying to join the sites, finding out that they were closed, trying to track down the owners with the intent of buying their old content at a large premium, and failing. This is either borderline piracy or piracy according to the various replies that I received on this particular post. I had no bad intent though, made no negative impact, and actually really wanted to pay for what I got.

Thanks. I was just comparing notes with someone a few weeks ago about favorite pee clips, and he mentioned those ones from twistys.com. Since you reviewed the site 6 years ago, and that was about the time he saw those clips, I thought I might ask.
Already been to glimpse-it.com, thanks though.

I heard that this site used to have some peeing videos, but has since removed them. I have talked with someone who was on the site recently, and they said they just have a few now on their last page of archives. Looks like you were a member in 2008, so is it true that they used to have more?

I have WiFi, but I still go Ethernet for my downloads. I have a 50 Mbps connection on Ethernet, but my wireless router slows it to just over 30 Mbps.

It's not exactly artcore or glamcore. Imagine the format that you're used to for g/g content on ALS, then make it b/g. No condoms, last time I checked!
By the way, I should amend my review in one way. Their latest photosets have increased in resolution to 5000x3000. They have always been the first to adopt the highest resolution formats, and they are making good on that tradition.

As a footnote to my review, please read this from ALS about their remastering process:
"The majority of our remastered sets were originally shot in digital format. We have always kept copies our raw / camera images untouched. So a typical set involves simply loading up the set in our camera program, reselecting and applying color correction to the raw images, then extracting them to a TIF format. In the early 2000s, sets were much smaller due in picture size and quantity due to the limited availability of broadband internet, so we are now able to include several, often hundreds of images from the set that were never before released, making the sets more "new" than old, and include them in the full size they were shot in by the camera. From there, we follow the same basic processing as any new set with today's quality standards. For instance, we all used to use the big tube CRT monitors when we color corrected images. Now that flatscreen and LCD monitors are more commonplace, those images tend to look a bit brighter and overexposed, so the remastered releases come out looking a bit more rich and vibrant color-wise.
There are some cases where we have even gone back to models who were shot in print. In these cases, we do have to digitally scan in the original print. We have a huge storage container filled with these albums. The main trick is using a very high DPI scanner to help blow up the images without sacrificing their quality. Once they are in a lossless TIF format, we again apply the same basic processing steps using Photoshop mostly to help balance the color, resize and sharpen the images, and try to reduce any graininess."

I don't go looking for it, but I don't mind it either. There's enough around online though, including 5 fingers, but maybe less on DVD.
By the way, the 4 vs 5 finger fisting distinction came from British obscenity law. 5-finger fisting is considered extreme porn in the UK and a criminal offense. 4-finger fisting is OK in the UK though.

I should add that the place where this happens the most is on the amateur sites with user generated photos and videos, although that's not what I had in mind when I wrote the poll. While most of the stuff on this type of site like amateuralbum.net isn't high quality, there are occasionally great sets of really hot amateurs that get posted. I check frequently, because it's not uncommon for the users there to delete their own photos after a week or two, and many users delete their entire profile within a few years.
Models that have been removed by DDF include Jenny Noel and Julie Silver, as well as about 16 more that I can't name.
There are a small number of models from Abby Winters who have bought back their own shoots for removal. I don't want to dwell on that site too much here, because the topic of these models has already been beat to death on member forums, and Abby Winters is an excellent site despite this, but I will post their names just so that you guys can recognize it if you have one of these rarities. Alana, Jasmin, Jules, Kate, Louise, Mikaela (killed in terrorist attack in Bali), Nikita, Tammy, and Verity. You can't fault Abby Winters for this, they do try hard to keep their content up, and they are coming out with lots of great new stuff.
There was also Ember from ALS as I said before. I think there was a thread started on her topic, and people came out in supports of ALS's decision.

I usually ask the webmasters if I know that I am missing something. They respond more often than not, and sometimes they are able to make content available on a one-time only basis by request, and other times they can't because of the model's wishes.

So, this is my poll, and this is an issue that I have been aware of at many sites, ranging from large networks to small operations. Webmasters are probably more aware of this issue than the average customer, because they get requests from models not infrequently for their shoots to be removed. I have mixed feelings about it, but most of the time I feel that it detracts from the entire site. As one example, I visited DDF's 1by-day.com and houseoftaboo.com recently, and found that a bunch of really nice shoots that I had once downloaded as free samples from TGP's were no longer available. Support basically said that they rotate some old shoots out, sometimes at the model's request, and sometimes for other reasons. Most of the time, I feel that it's like buying a used book with some pages missing when I learn that I am not getting everything that was once on the site. Most webmasters that I have talked with feel the same way, and push hard to keep their content up. At first, it might seem unfair to the models to keep their stuff online when they no longer want it there, but remember, they got paid for those shoots. How fair is it to webmasters and customers if the models do the shoots, get paid for them, and then make legal threats to have their shoots removed? This is a very complex issue though. There are a few sites that I would forgive for removing certain models' content. One is ALS, one of my favorite sites, who removed Ember's content out of consideration for her family after she passed away. The other is Abby Winters. I wouldn't take any points from them for removing a small number of models, because it's part of their identity that they are a model friendly site, and they would lose that distinction if they did otherwise. They still push hard to keep shoots up despite frivolous and trivial requests for removal, but they do offer models the opportunity to buy back their shoots, presumably for a significant amount of money, if their removal is very important to them. In these cases, it's a classy move to honor those requests, and you can't really fault the sites. Then again, this is a complicated issue, sites like 21sextury.com that seem to have never removed a shoot do stand out in their own way. One thing is for sure, if I learn that a model wanted her content removed, and I happen to have it already, I am definitely not deleting my personal copies. Maybe you could fault me for that, but I take extra pride in having something in my collection that has since become impossible to get again. How do you guys feel about this?

I still give them lots of credit for keeping all of their old stuff up as you mentioned. Actually, not only have they never removed shoots for being old, but somehow they don't seem to ever have removed a single shoot. This is impressive. They must push hard to keep them up, or have an ironclad contract with models. Sites this large that have been around for so long usually had at least a handful of shoots that had to be removed at the model's request.

I took a look 10 of their most recent videos to help answer your question. Except for the one fully clothed video, they all showed tits at or before the half way point. On average they showed tits just a couple minutes into the video. There were 2 videos that never showed pussy, and one that waited until after the half way point, but in the rest the models ditched their panties at about one quarter of the way into the video. It seems that they did change this in response to member feedback.

We'd probably be fucked if this happened. Honestly, aliens with the capability for interstellar travel could want little from us but our resources. Benevolent aliens who wanted to study us would not make their presence known. Advanced civilizations meeting primitive ones has almost always been a disaster. I'd definitely get one off before shit hit the fan.
