BubbaGump's Review
from messmer:
Excellent review as always. One question, are you sure Score HD still allows you to download videos? At least without the limitations they have imposed in the other Score sites? (see comments at 50plus MILFS as one example) I am genuinely interested because if all their videos can still be downloaded I might re-subscribe to that site.

from pat362:
I think that the quality of the video is not that important when discussing all of the Score Group sites because this company made a business decision last year to stop offering their entire library for download. What you now have is streaming only content for all videos and download option for part of the library. If it was made obvious on their preview page which videos are streaming only and which ones are downloadable then that would be fine but it isn't and I should know because I got burned when I joined one of the sites.
I highly recommend that anyone interested in video avoid all their sites.

All good points again. I certainly fit the description of a power users for the first few days of a membership. I'll scour the site for material that interests me, and I'll download that. I won't download something simply because it happens to be on the site. There has to be a reasonable expectation that I'll like what I download. There are several dozen models that I like and if a site has stuff with them I'll download it without question. If I can sort by theme, anal sex, for example, then I'lld o that, but I won't download a scene merely because it has anal sex. If the anal sex scene features a MILF with Double-Ds, then I won't DL that because that type of model doesn't do it for me. So after a few days of downloading madly I'll settle down and be a lot more selective. That's when I start looking at models I don't know in hopes of finding someone who tickle my fancy.
I can see how a DL limit might limit piracy. If a pirate has to take days or months to rip a site, they'll probably avoiding it.

Overall, I would class them as average. Sets are usually well lit, and shot nicely. I think the problem was more in the equipment used. More recent stuff is shot with higher res equipment & noticeably better for it. Nothing here is ultra high resolution as yet.

They did a really good job of making them look unstaged. Who knows?

Thank you.
It pans out close to RL really, although there is well above average amount of pregnant models.

What you're saying doesn't sound like BS at all - it sounds perfectly sensible.
I guess I didn't ever think of most other active buyers as being that much different from me in that they'd find a site that they liked and then download a lot of the content because they actually like it. That describes my relationship with many Kink.com sites. I join frequently and download all the new material because that site offers what I like. The opposite might be a site that specializes in big breasts. If I were tempted to join a site it would likely just be for one or two scenes that I liked and then I'd leave. But I guess I just assumed that most users will actually download a lot. But if that isn't the case, I can understand why I'd be seen as a power user and a less desirable customer. I do realize from some comments made on this site that many of the members are much more selective than me.
It must be a bit of a Catch-22 for sites: they create a niche site and they do it well and then they'd have to hope that people who like that niche won't like everything on the site.
Thanks for the information. This is really interesting.

Thanks, BubbaGump. With the other sites I referred to it made the downloads of new material possible for 7 weeks (I think) .. see comments at 50plus MILFS ... and then it was no longer downloadable. So anything older than that suddenly was no longer there for the user. Funny way of doing business.

Another great and detailed review. I have one question, some of my Score sites (50plus MILFS, 60plus MILFS) have gone to limited downloads of videos. Did they change this site as well?

At $39.99 per month, this is one of the more expensive sites out there...and yet they have the audacity to offer Scoreland for "just" $19.99 more.
I like the content as described in this review but I would think the webmaster would make a whole lot more money by getting horndogs like me to sign up at $29.99 for the package.

Thanks for the excellent information. Your technical knowledge surpasses mine exponentially. I realize that some people might find this level of information boring, but I'm not one of those.
I hadn't thought of the issue you note with streaming versus downloading, namely that a person streaming the video is unlikely to watch the whole thing, where the person downloading takes the whole file. To add to your argument, even though I download, it's rare for me to watch the scene from start to finish. But where downloading is superior is in being able to access the file at any time without having to have an internet connection or still be a member of the site.
I'm one of the members who keeps coming back to the buffet and who likely looks like a glutton, but I only join sites where I know I'm going to enjoy the material so it just makes sense that if I've put a lot of effort into finding a site I know I'll like that I download a lot. I may seem indiscriminate to the webmaster, but the webmaster can't know the effort I put in to finding that specific site.
I am glad to hear that if there are people like me who use a lot of bandwidth that there are more who don't and the site continues to make money. I'm a porn fan and an active porn buyer and I realize that unless sites make money they won't make more porn.
What do you think of tiered pricing? What if RK offered a $20 membership for streaming and up to 10GB a day and $30 for up to 50GB per day? Would that work? I'm certainly willing to pay for what I get.

I should have read this response before asking you questions based on your other response! I'd say you answered my questions here.
I agree that piracy is probably a big concern, but limits still bug me!

Interesting thought, and it makes sense with so many people using streaming these days.
I have no technical knowledge at all, but how would streaming and downloading be different from a server's perspective? I didn't download any HD material because of the cap and I don't recall if HD was offered by streaming, but if I download a 2GB scene and you stream it, wouldn't that be the same to the server? But... now that I think of it, I could be comparing apples and oranges here too. I recall that a WMV HD scene is less compressed than an mp4, so streaming may even use a higher compression, thereby making your streaming less of a data hog than my downloading.
Still... it seems odd that I'd be cut off after accessing 10GB of data and other users wouldn't.

Really interesting, informative and well written review! I like the level of detail and I expecially like your thorough descriptions and how your own tastes impact on how you view the site. That's an important element because it allows a reader to make decisions on how their own tastes will be served by the site. I also liked your letter grades for various aspects. That works well within the context of a full review like this.
I was a RK member here recently and HATED the daily download limit. That tainted everything else about the site for me, and I wasn’t that big a fan of the site to begin with. What I find interesting is that the limit doesn’t apply to streaming. Is it possible that you just didn’t hit the 10GB cut-off? I’ll admit though that the contract speaks to a cap on downloads, not data transfer. If they cap downloads by allow data to stream unfettered, this seems odd and may point to another purpose for the limit. Any thoughts?
