from PinkPanther:
I've thought about joining Third Movies, but it doesn't seem to live up to its own advertising. Their big selling point is that they put Third Degree DVD's out on their site weeks before the street sale date. Given how much I like a lot of Third Degree product, I'd join in a heartbeat if that were true. But it doesn't seem to be at all. In fact, when I looked at the details on the recent updates, which are not coming frequently or consistently, they say that the DVD's they are adding are from 2005 - that's not exactly the same thing as weeks before the street sale date!

You're clearly right when you say that some webmasters look at this site. The example of ZTOD is perfect. I remember when they stopped the DRM they seemed to be genuinely interested in what we at PU had to say. The resolution of the files was crappy at first but the ZTOD webmaster caught hell for that too and that was changed.
I do still stand by my comment about companies like Vivid and Anabolic. I don't think they continue to use DRM because they feel a need to protect their stuff, I think that they just don't give a flying fuck about their customers.
BTW - I suggested a user poll that links DRM and file sharing. Almost universally, it seems that PU members hate DRM, so I wondered if we put our money where our mouths are. Does the average PU member bitch about DRM and then post their non-DRM files on a sharing site. If the folks at PU choose to post that poll it will be interesting to see the results.

I can't help but read this is light of a recent user poll where the overwhelming number of members said that DRM issues are their #1 pet peeve. Vivid could have one of the best sites on the 'net but by allowing streaming only and no DRM-free downloads they lose that ability. This is just my opinion of course, but I suspect that this isn't some error in using a 5 year old business model, but this is just showing disrespect to customers. If anything, it puts studios like Red Light, 3rd Movies, Zero Tolerance, Diabolic and German Goo Girls in a better light. Those companies realized that they could keep customers happier AND make more money by losing the DRM. (Funny that link between satisfied customers and making money…)
Down with Vivid (and other companies like Anabolic who thumb their noses at customers); up with Pornusers for giving us a forum to get this important information.

Haha, I'm a video guy too. I rarely look at (or download) pictures, unless it is a girl whose content is very hard to come by.
I completely agree with your review (I intend to write one for Vivid sooner or later):
*The flash player is just the mundane one that any junko porn site will install. There is something to be said about the quality of the flash player that VideoBox employs (and that is that it is superb).
*The videos are not downloadable (by conventional means). There are certain freeware tools that can assist in downloading the streams (as they are just simple FLV files, similar to WMV files playing in an embedded Windows Media Player windw), but we shouldn't have to be reduced to using such means. All non-VOD sites should provide straight "save as" links.
*Yeah, the site has not changed at all over the years. Rather disappointing considering that there is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much content they have to offer.
*I can't stand how they have this HUUUUUGE performer listing, yet when you click on most of the girls nothing is offered, either in the form of pictures or videos. Very disappointing.

You don't mention anything about the pictures. What resolutions are there? Are they grouped by movie only or also by star?
I was a member several years ago and I remember they had quite extensive galleries for each movie although the resolution was quite small.
