That is one of the most annoying things that can happen with a site. Let us know if this gets worked out for you. Otherwise this one goes to the shit list.
I agree that it's working pretty well, as you point out, though shills do have their ways.
I think I got a "good shilling" once in reply to my review of Jenni's Secrets. This "Walter" came on and blasted my review, one that I'd put a lot of time into. His attack was the very first thing he did as a "member." After that, he posted three pud reviews of his own in 10 minutes time, which I think he did in a rather half-assed attempt to make himself look legit.
weird. it was there and then it wasn't but my comment is still around. this whole thing looks like the manifestation of my very comment...I think the PU webmasters are trying to protect us from a crap site...

This is the link to her site. I tried it a few years ago when it first opened. Your first comment is quite accurate - it was a horrible experience. She wasn't using CCBill at the time and she had some weird "key" system to get access. I wound up having to look all through the site for contacts and eventually found a contact with the web design guy, whose only connection was having done design of the site, but he was cool enough to get me into the site. Stephanie's excuse to all the people that were furious in her then-public forum was that she was running the site all by herself and was getting ripped off right and left and was doing the best she could.
Most of that is probably true, but my answer is "If you can't do it, don't try to do it and rip your fans off." I also got her a contact with Adriana Sage, a fellow San Diego-based porn babe that runs her own site and, at the time at least, Jana Cova's site, in a very professional manner and could have done the same for Stephanie. I don't believe that has ever happened, so if Stephanie's site is being run in an unprofessional way after numerous fans have tried to give her ways that she could solve the problems, well then there are no more excuses.
I was a big fan of Stephanie. Now, not so much. Besides her site being handled in an unprofessional manner, so are her live performances recently. I went to see her twice when she was either incredibly late on stage (keeping the DJ playing the introductory music for 20 minutes) or didn't show for that performance at all.
I wouldn't bother going to see her or joining her site at all these days.
Great analogy, jd1961! Mind you, I have read at PU that TBP reviewers have to transact with credit cards for access to the sites they review, though I'm in the dark about who ultimately foots the bill.
And that might be the crux of matter. Looking at the time sequence of reviews by TBP and PU reviewers/ commenters/ repliers, you see things like TBP saying in Feb. this year that SuperGlam offers 4000px pix, then a PU reviewer saying later that the links labeled 4000px lead to pics that are considerably smaller -- finding no pics at that size. Conclusion? Obviously, TBP is just taking what they're shown at face value -- something that isn't true! -- and then telling us later that it is! Pardon my language, but that's what the word "flaky" is meant to describe.
And they say that more models have been added? OK, but is that a Porsche and a Ferrari, or a Focus and an Edsel? Names, please. Just seven (new ones) isn't going the break the keyboard.
Anyway, Joe Lunchbreak/PU member certainly seems to have more at stake when the "process transaction" button gets that mouse click.
As the saying goes, "Money talks, and bullshit walks."
I've got to say, though, that I've never had a problem cancelling either through e-mail or by phone. They solve other customer service issues by phone pretty well also.
I'm sorry, but this review is just wrong! Silvia Saint has a whole large section at Suze.net. I believe that you were thrown off by their navigation, which is a LITTLE confusing - not that confusing to me, but, hey,...
If you click on Models at Suze.net, there is a message that you are looking at a Beta list that only includes the current shoots and then you have to click on "Complete List" or something like that. If you do that, and then click on "S", not only does Silvia Saint have a large section, but she's one of the featured "S" models, s well she should be.
In terms of Suze's posts, it's fairly common knowledge that Suze Randall is computer illiterate and always has been. I'm not aware of her former forum postings, but if she did them, it was definitely her daughter Holly posting for her, because Suze doesn't do ANYTHING with computers - never has. As to how much Suze is shooting these days, I really don't know - but I bet that Holly and her team would give a straight answer in their forum.
I've always considered Suze's site hit or miss, but at $10 now - their specials are all over the map in terms of pricing but all low - for both Suze.net AND Suze.video, I can't complain about this site since it continues to be updated, they have NOT purged their archives except where they have lost licensing or been begged by models that were now out of the biz to remove their shoots, they continue to make improvements, they've lowered the price to an amazing degree while still being top-rate in customer response and they are active in their forum - and very blunt.
I remember reading a post by Holly complaining about how expensive Amy Reid was to hire for boy/girl shoots, something most web-masters would be loathe to mention. Sorry, but I had to step in here to give credit where credit is due - and this site deserves credit for having a LOT of hot stuff!
Thanks to jd1961.....
This review shows what I somewhat been expecting from this site lately. As jd1961 puts it: The mighty have fallen.
And deleting Silvia Saint-stuff - that's a disgrace..
I'll save my money on this one.
Great and funny review!
Seems like they've beefed up the SuzeXXX section of the video site over the past couple of days. Was able to download Jenni Lee (#3074), at last! Wow, it is hot! RECOMMENDED.
Today, I left my access to the vid site open over several hours and didn't have problems with downloads or "mega" streams (in between meals and nap) until my machine started getting slow, which might have been a RAM jam.
So I'm saying that there's a bit more improvment there in availability of various vid types.
Sites like Suze and 1byDay, both of which have 2 versions of their archives, need to figure out ways to upgrade without it becoming a mess and a problem for users. It takes a lot of careful coordination and a good crew of techies, but why shouldn't it be doable?
They should have the makeover completely done before they roll it out; the "phase-in" approach doesn't make it.
sorry, me being thick, what is a BF...is that Boy Friend?
She does look good in anything, and that apple pie shot she does with her arse and lips pouting is a benchmark shot for her...Still like to see her looking really slutty...
There was 'I think' clubsandy.com vid/photoset with her in orange tanga over black stockings...dancing around a chair in someones hallway with a tiled floor...nothing better than tight shiny panties like that being stretched over paradise...and on that occasion she had slutty makeup to match. Now where I could get it was she'd have been complete in that role with the 8inch PumpMe Pornstar Heels on...but that's just me...
Pricing for this site is all over the map. Joining directly is $29.95/month and you get a few crappy sites - then some good ones if you stay longer. Joining through that Porn For All network - whatever it was called is almost $40 a month for some group of sites - then you get more later. Joining Mandy Is Kinky, gives you this site and a huge number of other 21st Sextury archive sites at a price of $29.95/month - then you get still more each more that you remain a member.
Nice review, Sophie is definitely one of my top 10 models, even though I don't think there is another blonde in my top 10.
On not being able to find the size of the movie. Have you tried this, right click the movie file, go to properties, then go to details tab. It should have the frame width, height and bitrate in that section.
She did a couple of anal video scenes years ago.
She seemed to be comfortable with it at the time. one with a bloke on the beach, post getting off a boat, and another walking thru the forest...and she's seemed to be more than happy to cumdrink from the Fish Stick...have her faced dressed like a glazed doughnut...etc etc...good on ya girl...
Shame she didn't follow this line...probably realised she could do less for more money...after she established a cult following...
Very minor point, but me being the avid Porn Hunter I am and a stickler for detail...
there are a number of European Girls who never (or at most very rarely) don the Pornstar Pumpme Lapdancer Heels...If you notice, Sophie always wears heels which have no platform to them...
Why...Is it because she doesn't want to cheapen herself like other Pornstars...but she does make up for it with her bum wiggles, legs akimbo and lip spreading...she does have a very fine part of love leaves...
"The photos are hi-res, but they should be larger than 1280px for someone as prominent."
Definitely agree. I think of how great this and other 21st Sextury sites would be if they'd move out of the early part of the decade and get those pics up to 2, 3, or even 4000px! It could only help them as competitors, considering the color quality they already have.
JD, great review - again.
The sweet Sophie Moone is one of a kind - in this game, for sure.
Just a little puzzled: Did'nt you get quite a few (some other) sites in this deal where her site normaly is a part of Porn Pass For All - IF you join the specific Sophie-site you get some other sites too - for bonus.
Reason I ask is I once joined PPFA - and did NOT get Sophie unless I'd keep my membership for several months.
Still, I was pissed because I had to wait - or rather keep my membership for a long time before getting access to Sophie.
And then again: Too bad about the videos, which goes for all of PPFA - they are NOT as good in quality as you can buy from 21Sextury....
LOL - I may have gotten a bit off topic but I guess I was trying to point out that domination/submission fantasies can be solely sexual and have no interest in panning out into other aspects of life. The mixed-gender military rant may have confused the topic a bit rather than providing an enlightening addition, oops. Cheers!
Alright - I'll take the bait. Ass-to-Mouth (ATM) is another fetish along the lines of the various aggressive submissive / domination role-play gonzo sex style that has made certain studios, both state side and abroad. "Unclean Practice" - at home, yes you are probably right. Professionally, not necessarily so - most professional stars that do anal have enemas performed before hand so there aren't any unwelcome surprises when the dick is removed.
Do I like watching ATM's? Actually I would be one of those freaks - yes, lol. Not a big surprise to people who have read my German Goo Girls review, I'm sure. I also am a big fan of Brandon Iron - he combines ridiculously dominate and sexually aggressive behavior with a very polite and almost quiet talking style - it is strange, somewhat disturbing and quite cool in my opinion.
Now when I review sites I try to evaluate the quality of the content, not necessarily how much I like the content (if I had more space I would do both) - but as for my personal tastes, well they are a bit contradicting. I love softcore glamour, I love extreme hardcore (with submissive females) - I'm not into pure Bondage though.
I don't know that I've explained the appeal of ATMs exactly. It lies definitely in the fantasy realm for me. It is something I wouldn't necessarily try, but the very taboo nature of it, combined with its domination/submission characteristics, make it fascinating. Half of me saying "holy hell! She is actually sucking that! I wouldn't!" and the other half saying "Damn. That's hot...".
I wish I could really pin down a specific nature of the act that appeals. It is similar to cum shots, Freaks Of Cock proved to me that just like in Hentai, the cumshot doesn't need to be real for me to like it - it is the idea, very much in the same manner of how I can happily enjoy AIF (Adult Interactive Fiction) as much as a full screen video. Porn is a very personal experience, much of the experience is in the brain, not as much a sensory experience as one might think.
I guess for me I like to fantasize about sexual dominance - I have no interest in dominating women in any other aspect of life at all. It astonishes me that people have physically or verbal abusive relationships - and really annoys me when I see women being put down for their intelligence or other ridiculous things people come up with. Granted there are physical difference between the genders, but this just means different strengths and weaknesses. I think it is silly that we don't have a 100% mixed gender military - as women have distinct physical advantages for certain military activities. So going back to the topic at hand - one can be interested in sexual domination and not be obsessed with domination across the board. It is simply role-playing, nothing more. (Again, in my opinion.)
