MiztaBlu's Comment
from Wraith0711:
I used to love this site. But I will never join it again. They dump tons of content to repost and the stuff they have been posting is the same stuff they've been recycling for years now, plus I don't think they have anything less than at least ten years old. I reported a dvd with a couple missing scenes and two years later they still hadn't fixed it. The channels only have butchered scenes from their sites, if you want the full unedited scene then just join the site in question.
As I said in the last review, if you have never joined before this site is a treasure trove of old content. If you've joined before then don't join again because there's nothing new at all.

This is a cut and paste reply I made on another post about probiller:
Yep that's how they legally rip you off. Every upgrade has to be individually canceled. I will NEVER join a site with probiller! They ripped me off so bad and absolutely refused to help. I joined a site for 30 days and cancelled the membership and downloads. I used a credit card that I very rarely used and didn't think to check it for several months because I got the email confirmations for the cancellations. Well for seven months afterwards they continued to charge me $29.99 a month for the membership I had cancelled. I live chatted with a guy who said to email customer service with the cancellation confirmation. I emailed customer service, Their reply said no refunds. Didn't offer any compensation or anything, just sucks to be you. I included the cancellation confirmation email and still was told no refunds. I called customer service and talked to the rep who I had chatted with and he was really shocked at the emails he had read and even saw the cancellation email included. He said that I had done everything he asked and that they had absolutely no reason to deny the refund. He apologized and issued the full refund. AVOID PROBILLER!!!!!!!!!
PS:
I haven't been back to a mindgeek/probiller site since. A bit of advice if you unwisely join these sites, ALWAYS SAVE YOUR EMAIL CANCELLATION CONFIRMATIONS AND MAKE SURE YOU CANCEL ALL SITES AND UPGRADES WITHIN THESES SITES!!!!!!!

from Xander:
Hi MiztaBlu,
Thanks for your feedback. For starters, I'll completely admit fault for not noticing that they're rotating content. Though I am familiar with the Penthouse brand, I was relatively new to the website and didn't pick up on this. In my review, I did mention that the amount of content has dropped, but I didn't realize the newer updates were actually older ones. I'm actually going to go ahead and add this to the review, so I do thank you for pointing this out.
As for the score, I don't intend to change it. You may not agree with the 87, but I think there's still enough good stuff on Penthouse to warrant that score, even with the rotating content. If you take a look at our previous scores of the site, an 87 is actually LOWER than what we've given it before. Personally, I don't feel that frustration you mentioned when I browse the site. Remember, though we do have specific criteria to look for when writing a review, the final score is a combination of that and our own personal opinion on the site.
Thanks for taking the time to give me your feedback.
Regards,
Xander

I thought I pointed out in my review that it was my subjective opinion. Plus, since it wasn't such a sterling a review, I directed people to check out Slutty's review since he took the opposite view.
Last paragraph of the review:
"There might be something for some of our readers (I highly recommend Slutty's review below), but not for me and thus I can't even give it a "might recommend" score."
Porn site reviews are similar to movie reviews. As an example, Rex Reed bashed both Silver Linings Playbook AND Jennifer Lawrence (going so far as to say "There's nothing wrong with the overrated Jennifer Lawrence that some serious acting lessons couldn't improve.") I, 92% of the critics on Rotten Tomatoes and apparently the Academy disagreed, but I know that is just Rex Reed.
All in all, I think it was an accurate assessment of the site and my reaction to it. I don't believe I said anything that was untrue.

If you're not into anal then you may want to skip any of his sites. At least half of the content on this site is anal and/or dp and since the other site is called Ass Factory than it's a pretty safe bet that it will also be filled with anal.
Since his site is only 30$ then I don't have an issue with price. It is more expensive than many other sites but Jules movies have always been more expensive than most. I haven't bought one recently but I seem to remember than they were about 28$ as compared to 20$ for the ones from most of the other studios.

Thank you for the review. The stealth upsells that people have been mentioning in the comments have completely put me off the site, despite the positives you list. Also my jaw dropped reading about the scrolling watermarks in the videos - they must be losing the plot if they think these things are what paying members want to see.

IMO what is needed generally; not just at this site; is more eroticism & less of an obsession with gynacology.
I like to see the whole woman more than we get to do.
Clothed, partially clothed & with clear full body nudity.
Not with acrobatic contortionist poses to graphically exhibit intimae, or hands obscuring the view.

from messmer:
You are very accurate in your description of the picture sets. You wanted to see more "ass," I wanted to see more panty shots and never got what I wanted either, which was at least a couple of frontal pictures with the model standing straight, panties still up, but every damn photographer (and not only in AllOver30) shows them taking off their panties either from the side, leaning slightly forward or from the rear with them half-way down their buttocks already.
My long standing complaint has also been that they wear only a couple of items of clothing which they take off in an awful hurry and then you get the "poor direction" you are objecting to, an endless repetition of almost identical poses.
At one time I would have objected to your score but during my last subscription I got so angry over one set of a model I had looked forward to seeing, (the photographer put her into a most atrocious gym outfit that could have been bought at the Sally Ann) that I told them to keep the rest of my subscription which still had two months to run. So, until mature models wear mature clothes once again and until they get rid of all those superfluous shots I completely agree with your assessment.
Not only a good review but a necessary one! In the past I tried to be too objective .. glad you called it as you saw it!

I belonged to this site for long enough to get twelve added sites. One per month I think is what you get. I would have to agree with this review of this site. Alot of the addon sites they give you access too are of older content. They are very good but I think over all the site is seeing a decline in content. Good review. Not off target at all in my opinion. Finally gave it up after the addon sites started to get worse.

MiztaBlu,
Having been badly burned by the Hustler site several years ago I have largely ignored this site. But there are some babes exclusive to Hustler that I'm interested in.
Has the download problem been resolved to your satisfaction?

Thanks for the feedback. I think, to be fair to the site though, you are just saying you were annoyed because the DLMs did not work the way you configured them. You might even find that that the IE login trick works with Opera and Chrome too but I have not tried that. I don't like IE but I don't mind having to log in once ;-) I certainly hate "save as".
As a matter interest, what browser and DL combinations did you try?

Just an update on the download manager (non-)issue.
I have just signed up to this site as it is one of my regulars and I shall write my own review soon.
Meanwhile, I thought you might like to know that Free Download Manager still works perfectly on this site if you do what I said. I have just tried it.
To summarise what you need to do to use Free Download Manager with Firefox:
Cookies must be enabled in Firefox and in Internet Explorer.
In Firefox, you need the Flashgot addon.
Log into the site using Firefox, ticking the box telling it to remember your details.
Once, and once only, log into the site using Internet Explorer, ticking the box telling it to remember your details. You can then close IE and you will not need to log in with it again for the duration of your membership. In fact, you will not need to log in again with FF either. Your login stays current for your whole membership.
Set Flashgot to use FDM as the download manager.
Do not enter any login details in FDM. It does not use them. It gets all login data from your cookies.
Click any download link.
Tell Firefox to use Flashgot and tick the box to always do it.
Thereafter, you can add downloads to FDM with just a single left click.
I downloaded in full speed mode, two files at a time. Absolutely no problem at all. I will revert to DTA because I prefer it but FDM works fine.

Hi
I understand your point on the hardcore and that you liked it even though it was outside your usual niche. In many ways, I wish the sites that are good on photos would drop the hardcore completely and say so in their tours. They get more criticism about their hardcore videos than anything else. The presence of hardcore itself makes little difference to me since I do not download it. But, unless the sites do it like the classic hardcore networks which use pornstars and big budgets, they get attacked by people who join expecting a kind of hardcore that the sites simply are not equipped to produce. And I would hate for them to realign their budgets and methods towards satisfying the hardcore niche. You see, there are plenty of excellent sources for such hardcore, such as NA, Brazzers, Reality Kings. Those networks have a huge amount of content too and you can fill many terabytes with it. But there is so much less available in the photo niche. Before long, we photo lovers will have nowhere left to go.
In some ways, I echo your own comment in your review of Naughty America regarding Kentucky Fried Chicken and hamburgers. Hamburgers are to KFC what NA style sex is to Karups. Karups do not have the big titted pornstars or the scene types that NA and Brazzers have and the Karups tour is completely different in style from the Brazzers and NA tours. I think it is unrealistic to expect such hardcore in Karups or ATK. I know I can look at the Brazzers or NA tours and immediately and obviously identify that those sites are not for me. I can understand why they score high in their niche but it is obvious that they have nothing to offer in my preferred niche. I am slight;y surprised you even considered that KarupsHA was worth joining since their tour does not give much suggestion that their content would be what you were looking for. I think it is a credit to it and to you that, when you did, you gave it a balanced review and a reasonable if tough score.
On the DMs point, you say you tried many DMs in Firefox and Chrome. But did you specifically try adding your downloads using the FF Flashgot extension and did you try logging in once with Internet Explorer and saving the login details? If the answer to both of those is "no" then you would not get DMs to work well on Karups. An extra part per video is honestly just one more mouse click once you have used either of my two workarounds.
And if you use DownThemAll in Firefox, you can queue and run the downloads without even adding an external DM. DTA works perfectly on all the Karups sites because the links never time out, your login never expires and so you can even schedule DTA with a bit of effort. And you can set it up for single click downloads if you want to.
I do regard it as a valid criticism when sites will not work with DMs other than DTA. But Karups' actually do work with my workarounds unless something has changed since I last used DMs there.

Thanks for calculating the number of models. 1470 is 40% more than Nubiles, which is probably the most similar site. It is about 80% the number of models on DDF network. I entirely agree it has much less hardcore video than a hardcore network. I notice you like Brazzers, Naughty America, Reality Kings, Video Box. Their hardcore is really in a completely different style from Karups or ATK. Your loved networks have a kind of more hammed up, produced style and theme. Karups is more a kind of straight plain sex. This is why I tend to say I would expect ATK (or Karups hardcore) to disappoint hardcore hounds. The networks tend to have "nasty" sex. "Nasty" being a complimentary term relating to rawness of the sex.
I think your review is completely honest about your preferences and readers should easily be able to adjust for their own preferences. For me, a photo hound, it is one of the truly great sites.
I can add two things you might like to try out at Karups, if you have not already done so.
First, the download manager thing is largely a cookie issue. I do not know what browser you usually use on the site. My standard browser is Firefox. However, not all download managers correctly handle Firefox's cookies.
There are two workarounds. One is to add the downloads to your download manager using the Firefox addon, Flashgot. This manages cookies better than most download managers can manage on their own.
The other workaround is to log in using Internet Explorer. You only need to do that once during your membership. Check the box that says "remember me" or "save login" or some such similar thing, I forget exactly what they call it. Then you can close Internet Explorer. The IE cookie is then set and lasts for your entire membership. Download managers that look for IE cookies, which is many of them, then work flawlessly. I discussed this with Karups support and they said they would add it to their help files.
The other thing concerns the split videos. I am sure you already know this but others might not perhaps. If you drop the multipart (usually two part) videos onto the playlist of VLC Player, they follow on seamlessly as if they were a single video. Karups put the legal 2257 stuff only on the first part so there is no interruption from that on the second part. (There might be some very old videos where there is a repeat of 2257 but I think they were mainly on KarupsPC not KarupsHA).
Anyway, good review and I enjoyed reading it for a site I know well and like a lot.

from Claypaws:
Certainly a well thought out review. Like Cap'n, I would put my score around 85 or even slightly higher but I am exclusively a photo guy.
I disagree on the network point though, from the point of view of a photo guy. Unfortunately, Karups seem to have ruined their tour and I cannot see the current number of models. Perhaps you can find or estimate that within the members area. I join this site a few times per year but I am not currently a member. However, it does have a lot of models. If you compare the number of models with say, the DDF network (1868 models), it might not look so bad. And it definitely has more photos than most networks.
I agree that it is more of a photo site than a video site and that is a strong attraction for me. But sites that concentrate on photos have a problem. The problem is that so many porn users only want video. If a group of sites that specialise in photos offer the same kind of network price as the video networks do, they cannot make enough income from their members to keep in business.
Most of the photo specialists do not offer network membership for that very reason. MET, Karups, ATK all have multiple sites without a network and they often have more models than the networks do.

A weakness on some of TBP's reviews is that they'll take a site's word when they claim exclusivity of their content. I forgive them this little oversight because I'm an old old pro when it comes to review sites and there truly is no other sites remotely close to TBP and now PU.
I only checked a couple of the videos myself and I know they are on some of the streaming sites but I don't know if they are also on sites like Videobox or VideosZ. The ones I looked at weren't but that doesn't mean that some or many aren't. If the site was a little less expensive or there was a lot more content then it might not be that bad but there doesn't seem to be more than a 130 or so videos and 20$ for non-exclusif content is high. Especially when some of it isn't all that new.
