skippy's Review
from tangub:
Great review skippy, I had those same navigation issues when I was last there nearly 2 years ago. I find it incredible that some webmasters can't seem to grab the simple concept that when we hit the back button we want to go back to the page we came from.

from MPL STUDIOS:
MPL Studios uses different layers of security on our web site. We are reasonable and accessible to our members regarding access and download issues that come up. We post our site's rules on our Terms of Use page.
The only issue that came into play regarding this customer was his inability to login for the first time using the Username and Password assigned by CCBill. The customer wasn't being blocked on our end for violating any rule. He simply wasn't entering his login details correctly...and so he was locking himself out. We choose to have strong passwords assigned rather than allowing easily cracked, easy to remember logins as a first choice for new members.
Upon signup, we provided this customer a working login to our members area. However, we can't do the logging in for him.
It should be noted the customer never requested to have his login changed by us, nor did he ask for any help testing his existing login he was having trouble with.
Both we would have done gladly had he asked for help.
It should also be noted: 12 minutes after we received the customers email, the same email he posted here, he had logged in successfully and already downloaded a 4000 res set. Nothing changed on our end. He had the ability to login all along. He just wasn't entering his login details correctly leading up to that.
To save him further frustration, we closed his account, refunded his subscription, and sent him notification.

Over the last year or so, I have made a point of writing down my subscription ID number, user name, and password immediately after signing up for a site. I keep these all in the same little notebook. They come in very handy when you go to log in, and when you go to cancel.
I hate the random usernames and passwords too, but I just view it as a necessary evil to deal with. Some of them are so bad I can never memorize them.
MPL is one of those sites that seems to be overly concerned with people trying to download their entire site. They have a list of rules right on the home page that seems just a bit over the top to me. However, I am very selective about what I download, and I don't use a download manager, so I never ran into any problems at their site. Having said that, I did notice more than once that after being on their site for about an hour or so, the back button on my browser didn't work anymore. I wasn't sure if this was problem with the browser or their way of trying to throttle me. It didn't work, as there were buttons at the bottom of each photo page to go back to the gallery. I think I had the same issue at another site, so I wasn't sure what the problem was. I doubt if your lockout originated from CCBill--you probably violated one of MPL's rules without knowing it.

I'm not an IT professional by any means. I can turn a PC on and off, and that's about the limit of my tech knowledge. (I can also click a mouse at the screen, and hope that will accomplish whatever it is I want to do).
But CCBill is one of the better payment processors, in my opinion. I've always had a good experience dealing with them. They send confirming emails when I subscribe or cancel a membership, which seems to be rare today. And it's nice to be able to search their site for membership information.
I don't like random passwords. But aren't those a function of the paysite, and not the credit card biller?
I certainly understand your frustration. But instead of blaming CCBill, the problem seems to me more with the paysite. The few times I ever had to contact CCBill customer support, it seemed to me I got courteous agents who tried to be helpful. CCBill can only do so much, they are only a billing agent, they don't have complete control of the account.
I've had problems with paysites in the past. But I don't blame CCBill for those problems. I think CCBill is a positive factor for me in joining a site, because I know that it will be easy to cancel a membership.

I also got locked out of MPL with no explanation. Apparently I had exceeded an unknown download limit which at the time wasn't stated in the Terms and Conditions. I got a fairly quick response from their webmaster, the block was removed and they even added a couple of days to my membership for the inconvenience so I couldn't really fault their customer support. I would be surprised if they don't sort you out quickly.

Great review. This is one of my regular memberships. I like having access to the older stuff and agree that the quality on those can be pretty bad, but I suspect that's more a reflection of the original than how it gets uploaded.

Great review! I thought mine were fairly in-depth but I am shamed :D Looks like you found the site similar to me - although not my favourite site, I did find it more appealing/erotic than eg Met Art. BTW note that if you want to download the highest resolution pics, it is trivial to do so with a DM, eg DownThemAll.

Excellent review skippy! I checked out the free tour, and noticed that one of my favorite girls has a ton of photo sets. Did you say that the videos are just a few minutes long?

Hmmm.
By charging Euros for dollars non-US subscribers would be paying an extra 5$ a month on the discounted subscription.
It is not regional pricing per se, but it is damn close.

I am sorry you were caught out by these underhand practices.
It is wise to avoid any trial sub IMO & just take a one month option, if you want to give it a go.
At least with that you will have plenty of opportunity to cancel prior to a renewal charge.

It's been a long time since I've signed up for a trial membership, and this reminds me of why. I've been through the same thing. The trial (the bait) costs a buck, but the membership would pay for a family breakfast at Denny's.
It never gives me a positive impression when I see a site setting up such an arrangement. It makes me wonder about the rest of the site experience, 'cause it almost shouts, "We just want to make money. Thank you for having a libido with a credit card sticking out of it."
Thanks for the post, skippy. It would be best to discourage such practices altogether.

Just for the record:
At TBP you get that warning "underlined" in red:
"Trial: $1.12 Limited Access (1 day, recurs $39.94/mo.)"

Hi Skippy nice review, I did not address my concerns about old material being gone in the review I did earlier this year. I do recall the older material not being there and actually was a reason I rejoined.
You rated them higher then I did, but I could not get around some issues they had. Great review though !!

Thanks for your review although I somewhat disagree. Personally I liked the content quite a lot even without too much acting but I know opinions vary. I don't know how much of the content you get with Porn Pros subscription but as an addition to it this is quite nice. Separately maybe not so much.

Thanks for the review here, and the info. I'm quite fond of this heartcore/whatever genre and this site cropped up on my radar - as you say, they are clearly aiming for the X-Art/Joymii market, both of which I enjoyed.
It's good to know it doesn't quite make it - helps prioritise other sites!

OK, I'm an idiot. I even sent an email off to Met-Art about the "Christina" problem above. Then as I was trying it again, I realized the girls name is CRISTINA! SO....operator error on my part. Apologies. (I would delete the whole comment, but comments on reviews can only be edited for 10 minutes after writing them.) I would still like to see an auto-login feature when traversing between paid sites in the same network.

skippy's Review from skippy:
Thought I would add a little here. I DID finally go ahead and join the other sites in the network. There is a special to join them for $12.50 USD each once you join Met Art. Those annoying links referencing other sites are still there, but when I click on one, I am not automatically logged in to the other site. So I then have to log in and when I do, all reference to the girl I was following from the original site is gone. In one case today, there is a link from Met Art to Christina A on Erotic Beauty. I followed the link and saw the beginning of a set but was required to log in before seeing it all. I logged in and, of course, the site lost track of why I logged in and sent me to the home page. I then searched for Christina A. NO SUCH GIRL! So the links trying to get you to sign up to the other sites in the network REALLY ARE BAITING YOU! In this case, to a girl that doesn't even exist on the destination site (or who goes by a different name with no way to find her). I will give the webmaster the benefit of the doubt and hope they are just not aware of how broken (and annoying)this is, but I really hope it is fixed before I write my reviews on the other sites in this network.
