I think there are a number of factors.
a) Many vids start with industry chat, which might be interesting but not a good prelude for what is about to come (see SurburbanAmateurs for a good example of how to start off).
b) The progression is under the control of the videographer, not the viewer, you can speed and skip parts but this is not the same as an image set.
c) It tends to be a continuous performance, its very hard for a model to look at their best for every second.
d) Some models have a speaking voice that just shatters the illusion!
e) Images tend to have better resolution
Cheers Div

No, I am not "bobjob." I can only suggest that the reason you have two reviews complaining about the download limit is that the limit seems to have been put in place only a few days ago, without warning.
I am not going to start using a proxy just to try to slam a website, which, as you know, I actually liked, aside from the dl limits.
I am still getting beaten up around here for liking abbywinters.com, so why would I add more hassles?!

I have no idea how reliable those stats are, nor what market segment they apply to. We know that 100% of our subscribers have JS enabled.
People without JS enabled are not actually able to join the site - we test before people join, so they know before they pay that JS is required. If a user turns off JS after subscribing, we show a message saying that JS is required. More to the point there's no reason NOT to enable JS (unless you're using a text-only browser, where poorly programmed JS can mess with stuff, but in which case you have no need of my site!)
If you choose not to join our site because JS is required, that's fine. We feel JS is necessary to run a successful site, but certainly not everyone agrees with us. It seems that you don't - which is fine. We seem to have plenty of people who don't care about JS, and just want to enjoy our site, so we'll spend our time ensuring they have the best experience possible!
I am not sure of the details of your case (assuming there is one). If you feel it's unresolved, please email me on abby@abbywinters.com so we can sort it out.

I wish I had read "boredsurfer's" review or I never would've joined the site. We both got burned by limitations which were not made clear before paying for membership. But no I have no affiliation with "boardsurfer." If you can look up IP addresses and see we're two different ppl you can see that for yourself.

Different sites combat the problem in different ways, and not all sites are subject to the same level of abuse as we are (more popular sites are).
You have not actually said (I think?) what the specific nature of your problem is? Our customer support staff have no reason to lie - if you're the only customer experiencing the problem, then that would be the case.

Hi asmith12.
I am not sure if you're complaining about our site, or adult sites in general, or just websites in general?
I can only speak for my site. We need to keep it secure. If we don't hackers get in and break it, which means the whole site goes down for hours and NO ONE can get on.
So rather than let that happen (which pisses of tens of thousands of people), we instead put a small amount of the onus on lots of people - spreading the load. That means that sometimes, it's annoying for some people, but it's pretty rare.
Not sure if you're aware, we have 24/7 customer support, and every issue is responded to by a real person in a matter of minutes. Most tickets are resolved in the first communication.
So sure, it's annoying, but that's life in the big bad world...

Yeah, that's the point exactly. If the total I could download was something like 10 or 12 gigs in a month and that would be it forever, I would still consider joining such a site. Just don't leak out the material so that I have to keep coming back.

That's one gig per day, which is not awful, but the file sizes are pretty large.
The thin that bothered me was that the restriction was not mentioned anywhere in the sign-up process, AND I did e-mail CCBill support about it and they said that they only dealt with the funcitonality of passwords, not site content, etc. A big cop out.
I didn't pursue a refund because I really don't want a refund, I just think that the download limit hurts an otherwise good site. I mean, you can still pick up 30 gigs in a month, that's quite a bit of this sort of thing.

no but we know them and the distributor that licenses to them, if you check hentaikey only has movies that are licensed from 1 single distributor's, anyway research for your self all you need to do is look at hentaiboss sites to know they don't have licenses to anything as those movies have not even been released yet in the usa.
this is a fact, do you research or talk to anyone in the industry that is familiar with hentai they will tell you the same, anyway don't matter to me its all porn some license most don't thats how it is.
regards merry x mas and have a happy new year.

My company does buissnes in japan with japanese distributors of anime and hentai, maynly anime but those are the same people distributing hentai, but its obvious that hentaiboss owns no license if you know anytyhing about hentai and by what studios they are produced,
its very simple to see who has license, hentaiboss has none thats for sure as all movies are just riped and not in drm for one and in japanese with subs, this is a fact lol surpised you don't know that.
a) japanese studios a do not allow web content in non drm format
b) they do not allow web content in japanese lanquage, that goes for licensing anime too
everyone in the industry knows that too, besides hentaikey only VOD companies have licneses, the pay % for each view t the studios, all the other sites including hentaiboss just rip dvds or take from online sites.

That's what I don't understand is how they get away with this. I know that I wouldn't complain to my card company, but still.
Plus, how many people pay for their porn sit access via check or bank account? My guess is its in the area of < 1%

You used to see the fake bondage where the girl would hold her ankles but there were no implements of restraint.

I notice the cute little disclaimer at the end of the preview video, but I was under the impression that bondage with intercourse on video was illegal in the US? Maybe this has changed without me looking.

I use Internet Download Manager. I have found it to be the easiest to use and configure for things like site passwords or which folder to download to.
The big downside is that it is not free. It's 29.95, but has a 30-day trial for you to see if you like it.
I think the most popular DL manager is Flashget, but I didn't care for the interface or the ads in the free version that I used.
Hope this helps.

You're right about the kind of stuff that's not easy to find anywhere else - and some of these mature women here are quite sexy - in many ways.

Great review, thanks
Seen 5-6 of the videos from the site and thought about joining - but I guess you're also right about the repetitive....and the price.

Frankly, what you personally think I have the right to do or mention is completely irrelevant.
When somebody blatently lies in a public forum and slanders a reputeable business, the truth should be aired and I have every right to state the absolute truth. The fact that it doesn't suit your crusade against websites in this forum is a great shame, but eventually you'll get over it.
I have a business to run, so this is my final post on the matter, no matter how much more you try and flame the situation. I have stated the case for all to see. Over and out :)

You say "there is no way to identify person reliably on the Internet" - fine were it not for the fact that we know that is was him and Josh P admitted in his first response that it was him. That leaves no room for doubt.
To answer your second question, no, we would not refund somebody who joined our site, downloaded a gallery, then said they didn't like it. Quite simply, we clearly state on the outside of our site, what you get on the inside. We give potential members 42 (forty two) free trailers to preview, 7 full pages of photo's and information previewing our content - all of which is 100% accurate as to what is inside.
If however, we were misleading people in our preview tour, as Josh claims some sites do, then we would expect to get repeat requests for refunds. We don't, because our members actually get more than what we state on the outside.
To comment on your third point - I welcome your challenges to unscrupulous merchants and I suspect there are many out there, but TheEnglishMansion.com is not one of them :-)
