I just tried and am getting the same error. Looks like they're having a problem with one of their servers. I suspect they'll have it cleared up shortly. You may want to drop them an email or submit a trouble ticket at: http://www.adulthelpcentre.com/

Yes, as mentioned, following the link from here gave me a more accurate conversion, last time i checked (14.12 EUR, which is equal to the USD). Still, when going manually by www.bangbros.com, i get the "regional price" (27.47 EUR instead of an equal to 24.95 USD). I didn't join however.

Hey Tangub and everyone,
So there's been an update on our stance regarding reviews based on Adult Time channels (and similar content hosted on third-party sites).
Going forward, these reviews will not be admissible to the Weekly raffle based on the fact that they do not cover website and navigational issues (search functions, website layout, download speed, etc)
I hope that you all consider the reviews are written BY USERS FOR USERS. Keep it clear and transparent; we're all here because we don't want to waste money by paying for gimmicky site.
Cheers!

I believe my review makes clear that I was reviewing the Bare Maidens channel of the Adult Time network.
Please read the review again, if you think the review was unclear about what I was reviewing: the Bare Maiden channel of Adult Time, or the Bare Maiden site itself.
I stated the Bare Maiden channel on Adult Time currently has 9 videos.
While the Bare Maiden site itself has about 140 videos.
So the distinction should have been clear.
"The version of Bare Maidens that Adult Time offers is a slimmed down version of the actual site."
The Bare Maiden site is supposed to have 102,523 high resolution photos.
When you asked in a reply "So do you get access to the 102,000 Bare Maidens photos through the Adult Time membership then?"
I answered no. The Bare Maiden channel on Adult Time has a very limited photoset for each video, consisting of about 15 photos for each set.
So there shouldn't be any confusion: the Adult Time channel of Bare Maidens is a slimmed down version of the Bare Maidens site.
If you believe that is false or deceptive advertising, you can email the Adult Time network, and complain directly to them.
But I think that I made clear that my review is mainly about the Bare Maiden channel on the Adult Time network, although I do add facts about the Bare Maiden site.
Do you want to justify why you think my review is misleading?
Please point out where I stated facts or opinions that were misleading?

No.
The 102,000 photos are located on the original Bare Maidens site.
The Adult Time membership channel only has 15 photos for each video on the channel.
And the photos are not good quality: they can be very dark, so it's hard to see the model clearly.
It's more like a screen shot instead of a regular photo, for each photo.
Which is very disappointing.

I agree with you about the zip part of the site. I found it very frustrating after I tried a couple times, but it came up as an error file.

They do offer a Paypal payment option - that should be fairly safe.

Yes, go through my 'track record' - each and every situation, there is data backing up someone misusing their membership.
Not sure why you feel the need to be a drama queen about it? Lonely?
If you go into any business and break the rules, there are consequences. If you continue over and over, the consequences are often more severe.
Some people are cranky when they get told NO.
Kind of weird, but life goes on. :)

You are correct for now.. but in the background right now we are building BellaPass V2. It's incredible.
It will launch in April of this year if all goes to plan.
What's coming?
ZIP SETS! :D
Also, we're increasing our image frequency and sizes. Many love our photos but as Ursaminor pointed out, our weight is def behind video because we polled members and here's what we found..
photo poll: http://bellapass.com/pu/photos.jpg
zip set poll: http://bellapass.com/pu/zips.jpg
That said, we miss doing photos so we're going to do a photo update weekly again and more so, in the new BellaPass network. Bryci.com and Katiebanks.com photos move to 6500 pixels as largest possible download size, with smaller options also available (4000, 2500, 1000)
We're also changing the way our videos are streamed, *MUCH* faster now, with multiple sizes and options, fully mobile compatible in every way. We have a twin hexacore, 64 gig with quad SSD drives used JUST for video encoding and streaming in the new network. We invested heavily for our sites, because the members requested more speed, better streaming.
We do ask our members and although a fraction speak up, it still gives us a ballpark idea of what people think.
Also, side note - KatieBanks.com is now hardcore. She jumped last week and as always, when someone signs up for Bellapass or any individual site, be it katiebanks.com, bryci.com, anyone really.. you get the entire network included for the same cost. no upsell, no surprises.
Network also rebills cheaper and from time to time we offer 33% off deals.
We're not perfect by any means, but we keep trying to be better. Yes, some people get busted for site ripping or being jerks and then when I cancel their membership, they take to interwebs to try and get even. I have emails from people threatening me if I don't let them back in, after I catch them hammering the server day after day to the point of a $400 upcharge in bandwidth... all for that guy's $25 membership fee? umm.. no thank you.
This wasn't Ursa's case mind you and he still hasn't emailed me with his username so I even know he was a legit member. Not saying he wasn't, but it's strange to me that others email in and their issue is resolved fast, same day usually if not next but he was 'cancelled for traveling'? Still makes no sense to me. I'd love to look more into it and help him if I am able to.

So even the trial is a trap that leads to ridiculously over priced subscription at 39.95£ when subscribing directly via this site you get "Our Price $19.95 (recurring)"? Even the normal price is under 30$ a month.

I don't really know why they have such a bad reputation because I have never had any issues with them. I have a long term membership but I did cancel once about 2 years ago and had no problem. I also considered cancelling my membership last year and changed my mind because they offered me an amazing discount.

from otoh:
Great review tangub, I guess your findings were similar to mine. I did like the mixture of models there - there are so many sites that concentrate mainly on east European models - who are stunning, but I do also like British and French models, and it's good to see a variety in one place.

Saw the preview first some time ago - and the site looks great.
Even if I'm a vids man, I'm not discouraged by tangubs review concerning vids - it still looks good - and look good at that price.....and certainly some fine models here.....this could be the next join.
Nice review!!

I downloaded this set yesterday without any problems. I downloaded it again a few minutes ago with a speed of more than 2 MB/sec.
Guess that was a temporary problem only as their server(s) seem(s) to be very reliable.

It's true that this is currently the only set which is at least a little explicit.
Today I'm feeling sad as they advertised a new model called "Anita de Bauch" which should have appeared on March 5th but instead Kayla had her first appearance at BT.
Guess I'll ask them for some information about this little annoyance. Kayla is a nice and lovely model but I wanted to see Anita :-(.

Sites like that etc will always have zips sets because their models are paid models that are not exclusive and available in several sites. With most multi model sites though - it's bought content from a photographer that sells X amount of licenses to anyone buying. Zips don't matter because there is no girl to become sad or feel exposed when her content is being traded for free.
I respect you love zips and they matter to you and others as well but that doesn't change the fact that we don't offer them, and never will, regardless of how many people are upset. It's our site, not theirs. If you were a nude model online, you'd feel *very different* on the topic, I can assure you.
Often, customers don't grasp how things are run behind the curtain. You see tits and ass and assume the ladies have no feelings or thoughts on things. This is where Bella is very different from almost every network out there because we treat the ladies like ladies and they make their own decisions. (we don't make them for them) We're not going to zip hotos and have tons of free video content for tube sites like many others do when what it translates to is the model feeling more exposed because she's being given away and traded on boards for free (thanks to zips being downloaded and posted from no-moral members that feel the need for a ^ 5 is more important than respecting a model's rights). We don't put out either (zips or free video samples) and the model doesn't get traded the same way as those sites that do have those things.
Guess what else not having zips everywhere does? it keeps her relevant and in high demand. If anyone can get Bryci on any number of multi model sites - is she as popular as if she's not everywhere? Penthouse is the only place she's had content published, I photographed her for Penthouse magazine last year (Oct 2012 issue).
Photos matter, as I said.
Please look up the word "context". :) You're not quoting me completely there are you? I said the majority of people chose videos over photos. Surveys done here in PU show this as well, look them up. We had our own surveys done and they told us the same thing, 4 our of 5 people rank videos as more important but this doesn't mean we're stopping doing photos. As I said before where you misquoted me, photos do matter - but videos matter more.
But hey, thanks for staying on context and posting an ad for another site in a Bryci review. Very classy of you, indeed.

I never created the profile saying United States and no apologies necessary. :)
I respect that regional bothers you, but again - ccbill sets those rates based on market flux to protect the webbies from assorted fees that occur when we get chargebacks, fraud etc.
A shame we can't make everyone happy, some people just need to be heard. So sorry if I wasn't hearing you. I know that's frustrating when that happens.

Why can't people read? Seriously. All you're doing is going in circles. What I said to Capn, applies here as well.
I'm not a US based website.
I have already covered why we have regional, what regional is and why others use it. I have pointed out to you that we're not CCbill and we don't set the rates. I have pointed out that ALL BANKS WORLDWIDE buy into market fluctuations and adjust their rates accordingly.
If you have an issue with the way CCBill sets things, call CCBill. I am not CCBill.

Not sure if you're aware of this - but we (the sites) don't set the rates. CCbill sets the rates based upon bank rates and fluctuations in bank rates that occur daily/weekly. The rate changes as the market changes. I am not sure how often they modify things, again, we are not ccbill.
CCbills' own explanation on their site:
"Because the market fluctuates daily, we update the CCBill Recommended Ratios on a regular basis. If you click the Accept Regional Pricing button below you are accepting today's CCBill Recommended Ratios"
I view it like this -
If you have a dollar bill from America, and you go to Canada or Spain - is it still worth a dollar? No. Why not? Market fluctuation. Perhaps in the USA your dollar is worth a dollar, but in another country, it might be worth more, or less. Regional pricing accounts for the averages and sets them accordingly.

I'm not sure if you read what I said or if you took it our of context etc. Photos are important, but to the majority of users, they are not as important as videos are.
To the average guy, when he goes to fap - does he use a photo or two or videos? Obviously different for everyone but survey says... videos.
That is not my personal opinion, that is fact based on surveys we've done, other sites have done, even PU has done int he past. Videos are more important, but that doesn't mean photos are not important. They are and always will be. That's why we still create them and more to the point, create them at higher resolution than any other site out there in our niche. :)
