Thanks for the tip. I will give it a go. I dropped $74.95 on the deal because there's so damned much GOOD content there's no way I can D/L what I want in just one month, and it is over my budget to spend $34.95 a month on just one of the sites.
I'm guessing (hoping) they get smart at DDF Prod and offer network deals in the future as well.
So far I'm also impressed with the quality of the vids. The older ones are not so good but anything 2007 and later are great.

I guess I should play "devil's advocate" here though as well. One of the things TBP factors into a review is whether there is info on the models.
And I like getting info on them, too, but it has to sound real enough and not like some made-up crap like "Favorite Food: Mom's Caribou Filet!"
I do like it when the models info says that they're into guys and not bisexual. Sure, I'm a jealous of other women! Like in that Tim Buckley Song, "Sally Go Round the Roses."
And the "vital statistics," while usually obvious enough from what you can see with your naked eye, can sometimes be interesting. Take Peaches, for example. Always thought she was a little cutie until I saw that she's actually quite a big & tall girl at 5'10".

Yeah you are right, the ones I listed are the ones I consider worth joining. I have been a member for two weeks now......I must say that I am not THAT impressed, lots of content, but lots of repeats and similar shots/videos.....I you have seen one of these sites, you know how the next one will look....but if you like one or a few of these sites and considered joing before...now it's the time.

from inthecrack:
Note to those who are concerned about Lexa not being hardcore enough.... your assessment could be somewhat accurate based on the 4 sets that are currently on inthecrack. There is some finger masturbation in these sets but it is not her forte. As with many girls any genuine masturbation action requires the right atmosphere and frame of mind to pull it off successfully. As she has become more comfortable with us she has somehow cleared this hurdle with some of our more recent as yet unreleased sets. You may not yet see it in her next few sets but some later ones she does use dildos and even has real orgasms. Additionally her personality really starts to shine in some of these as she gets over being shy about her broken English and she becomes really very charming. We may not see her peeing or using a speculum any time soon and we respect her for knowing her boundaries. You have to admit that the girl has great quality and integrity for not caving to pressure to perform certain acts. We actually like her for this. As for those hardcore sets she had previously done it was only done when she was young and inexperienced with productions telling her this is the only way she can make a decent go of it. She soon found that not to be the case and has regretted doing this ever since. We at inthecrack want no part of pressuring or convincing her that she will need to do certain content. Neither do we consider our most hardcore content to be the ultimate goal. With Lexa she is just plain gorgeous and sometimes just feasting your eyes on that beauty is pleasure enough.
As for the sister site, at this point it is only an idea that we wanted some feedback on. We're only considering it because we'll likely never tire of shooting Lexa and she really deserves to have her own site. It's one way we can shoot as much of her as we like without over saturating inthecrack with one model. However the only way it can happen is if it is financially feasible and inthecrack does not suffer because of it. Early indications are that it is not financially feasible and we'll likely keep adding her sets to inthecrack.
Another note of interest. Survey results indicate that a full 70% of members consider Lexa to be in our top 10 models. 20% consider her to be our number one most beautiful model. She is a goddess! Perhaps most appealing of all, she doesn't seem to know how beautiful she is. With any suggestion of this she will adamantly deny it and think you are oddly disillusioned.

turboshaft's Review from turboshaft:
(Bottom Line continued.)
This site is a marriage made in heaven, a perfect match of technology and perversion, and its for a good purpose. These are hot and happy models, the smiles seem genuine, and scenes come about only as a result of a girl's willingness and comfort level with the possible task at, or sometimes even in, hand. This means that some girls only really like to show off their smile and might wink at you, while others will show virtually everything and then some, and only wink at you using their asshole. Let me at least say that I know my smile is genuine.
Models are fit and thin, many with fully shaven pussies, few tattoos, and I have yet to find any breast implants (I still have a hard time believing this myself, so if I am wrong please say so). The first two dozen or so are Canadian girls (who I have yet to see anywhere else, but I like them), and the rest are a mix of amateur and somewhat well known Americans, eastern Europeans, and a few more Canadians. This really is not the place for the well-worn veteran, or high figure star, but most know how to show off the goods. The vast majority are white, which didn't really bother me, but I have to mention it, as I know there are prospective members out there looking for some diversity, and this site may not have what they are seeking. Still, much of the content may have you focused less on the outside than on the inside, in which case every model is pretty much the same color.
Nobody's perfect, and this site comes at a high price: $35 per month, with no rebilling or multi-month discounts. I will say you get what you pay for as there is much to enjoy and download here, but it is still a somewhat high price, though it has never risen in all the years I have been a member. Navigation is easy as the site is cleanly laid out, but the search engine is a little too simple. It only searches videos using whatever term or keywords you choose and/or a category out of a list of twenty-nine categories, with categories as diverse as “Beautiful Bums” or “Cervix Views” or “Treadmill”.
If you like your girls to have fun by themselves and view the fun at few inches distance or less, this may be Crack that's worth an addiction. There are no guys taking up the frame, and virtually little input from the crew – hallelujah! I mean little to no talking, no interviews, no heavy panting by the cameramen, and very little behind the scenes fantasy crushers. When anything even close to this happens in a video, the descriptions give ample warning – “male hands involved” or “you do heard the crew talk in this one” – and these are minor infractions compared to many of the other sites' self-centered douche bags as they guffaw and add commentary through countless photo and video shoots. Hey, that's our job!

Another PU who do not get the picture here.
ITC is in itself a unique site - with very fine content in a good variation of models - why do an extra solo site for one model - and maybe later others model...it may seem like a question of getting more customers for the company, only...instead of having the same material at ITC.
This feedback could be a trial - if it works - then other model could follow - and customers at ITC may want to spend extra bucks for this models new special site...

from Drooler:
ik2fireone had a lot of thoughtful comments on Lexa, as she's called at the 'Crack. She has done hardcore, btw. A small sampling can be found at her page at SportyOne. And yes, she's known most often as Melisa; sometimes as Carrie Du Four.
Anyway, softcore does seem to be her main bread 'n butter, but I haven't been terribly thrilled with the way ITC has presented her. They just don't do poses and thigh-up pics of her amazing ass like the one of her at Twistys, or better yet at Stunners, standing at a post and looking back amorously with both cheeks in glorious bilateral symmetry.
The typical way ITC does all of the models is side angles, full body standing without a view of the girl's face, and all manner of closeups. They seem to do EVERYTHING but the kind of pics I'm after: You can at least see the girl's face; she's looking horny; the top of her head is all there; her butt is completely there and "evenly cheeked" and unwatermarked. (A tall order, I know!)
Lexa will probably look great at her own site through ITC, but I doubt I'd care much for it just the same.

I am not a member, but I love giving my opinions, even when I know little about what I'm saying.
I do like eye candy, and the tour pages of inthecrack has some lovely models.
If the owners start a sister site, they could charge separately for the new sister site, or make membership in the new sister site part of the basic membership for inthecrack. There is obviously additional expense for opening a new, separate site, but the amount of content for a new site would probably be small, and even if current/former members of inthecrack really liked the Czech girl named Lexa for her looks, it doesn't seem likely the new sister site, by itself, would generate enough revenue to pay for its costs. Especially in the current economic downturn, when porn revenues are supposed to be dropping, and even major sites are supposed to be hurting financially.
So I think the best approach would be to offer membership in the parent site, inthecrack, and the new site (call it Lexa, for simplicity), for the same basic fee. And then, if the new site does become popular (measured by membership hits or whatever), the owners could possibly consider raising the membership fee, instead of spinning the new site off as separate membership fee.
Am I just spinning my wheels, or am I saying anything useful? Not really sure.
But even if the main focus of the new Lexa site is Lexa, I would assume she would have "guest" models on the site, because that is what many solo model sites seem to do. And if the sister site increases the amount of content available for your viewing pleasure, as long as the membership fee is not increased, I don't know why members would object to the new site.
Sorry, I don't really understand what your objection is to: Is it the creation of a new site, because you think the model Lexa will appear less frequently on the old site? Or is it that you wouldn't mind a new sister site, if they chose a good-looking model that did hardcore action instead of the mainly softcore Lexa? Or is it something else?

Everyone's different, which is kind of a useless generalization that has some truth to it. But to date/marry a porn star, you would need a thick skin, which I don't have. You would also need a way of accepting your wife/girlfriend having "professional" sex with other men or women or both, and I just don't think that way. Different strokes for different folks, as they said back in the 1970s.
I am surprised at the results of many poll answers, because I think the PU members are responding with their honest feelings in many cases. You would expect a lot more bullshit or posturing in the replies, but I think, partially because of the anonymity of the usernames, that we are being more honest than I would have expected.

Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed review of our site. I wanted to let you know that we do have the feature to change the number of thumbs on our photo pages. Just go to the my profile page and the option is there. It was a user suggestion they asked us on our message board and we did it for them.
Thanks

from Denner:
Turboshaft does an extremely fine review here - and it's needed for this major site.
Have not been a member for some time for one reasen:
The models - in general - have changed. And how can that be?
Well, first: the models, their acting, the repetetive style of performance has changed this "good ol'" site for sure.
It used to be a favorite of mine: damn fine solo/mastubation performance - and some ok hc/bg scenes.
It's gone downhill since a lot of PUs were up there at 88-95 in scores.
The site has - in my opinion - become mediocre in all matters: models, acting, style:
I wish it's was when a buck was still silver, before the Beatles and Yesterday, before Chrysler went down, before Nixon lied to us all on tv, before microwave ovens - when a girl could still cook and still would - and when a Ford and a Chevy would still last ten years like they should...Man, I'm getting old...
Sorry, folks...

Great review. As good as any I've seen. Lots of details, interesting opinions, wonderful bottom line summation. I'm thinking of hiring you to write my next review!
I also like that trick of using the reply function to extend your allowed word-count. First time I've seen it done.
This review is definitely in the best-in-class level. No joke.

turboshaft's Review from turboshaft:
(Bottom Line continued)
I enjoyed the photos more than the videos, but I frequently prefer photos over videos anyway. The site tends to be more about its photographic content than its videos, so I was happy with many of the photo sets. The problem was repetition, where models seemed to repeat things done by nearly every other model on the site; panty stuffing, lots of toys, striptease, some mild spreading (what they call “explicit nude”), and even more toys. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate toys; in fact, they probably keep a number of women from picking up guns and coming after us guys for subscribing to so many sites, but I do get tired of them in scene after scene after scene.
Technically speaking, the photos are of professional quality, though obviously shot by multiple photographers and camera models, as they release three new models a week. A few models had some harsh lighting situations, where it looked as if only a small flash was used, or there wasn't much setup involved, but these are only a few earlier models, so don't worry. Some girls had what looked to be a little too much Photoshop work, where parts of their skin had a soft focus to it (more noticeable in closeups), especially when compared to videos, where cleaning up a model's complexion can be prohibitively time consuming. Additionally, some shots just were out of focus, or focus was neither on the face nor on the fun stuff. There were only one or two of these per set, but still annoying.
Navigation is simple and easy, with a good search function that can also break down by body and scene content types, plus links to videos, updates, top rated models, and the complete model directory. My one complaint for navigation was on photo set pages where I could not change the number of thumbnails per page, and it was set around twenty. Some sets are not too big, but others are and you have to browse through quite a few pages, but it is really a small problem, as you can still change thumbnail and picture size.
I think this site is well done and can serve as a model of how to shoot and capture content, if not necessarily what type content to shoot. Again, I approached this more as a solo girl site, not a hardcore one, though I really wish they had more girl-girl content then the minute amount that I found. But even the softcore content felt weak to me, but maybe I just expect more than stripping and happy-happy-toy-toy action when it is just a girl by herself.

Just like PinkPanther's reply, I am sorry for the late response, I had a busy weekend. You are right about the voting, I wish I had more space in review to go in to more detail about this but your reply sums up the cons of this precisly. Sweet, the members feel like they are interacting by voting for their favorite scenes to be updating in that order but sometimes a model strikes a viewer a certain way, why not let them enjoy that model even if it is a 'not for the masses' model and did'nt get the votes? Limiting this can be quite troublesome. However, I do think you are right in saying this was more with the older content. I think with the new stuff they have all the content shot (usually up to 3+ scenes) already and the voting is just the order it will be updated rather than if they will get updated or not at all like the older times? I'm not entirely sure how it is totally done exactly.
Also, to add to the updates, how are they figuring out which sets and videos to reformat if anyone knows? Do they vote for this too?
I wish other sites just gave off the vibe that the creators produce at ALS. I think due to this, this is why the sets and videos are so well (yes, I do think they use the best equipment and compression as well). Hopefully, in my laundry list of sites to join I can find this but ALS definitly sold me enough to join ALS Angels for sure :)

Since getting feedback from people here a long time ago, we have started balancing out the ratio and right now, the truth is we have a good balance and the new updates are balanced out between USA, Europe and Russia. However to the person that only likes Euro girls sometimes its not enough, same for the person you hates Euro girls so often their comments might lead people to believe differently.

Thanks. I don't have a lot of experience in porn videos. This was the first time I saw Rocco Siffredi, that I know of. Some of his videos are really interesting and good quality. Of course, you watch a lot of them, especially some of his series, they do get a little repetitive. But there are some videos at his site that I thought were extremely good, better than anything I've seen elsewhere.
If you ever join this network, which has 19 different sites, this site is definitely worth looking over. It's just a question of how much time you want to spend going thru the different videos to find what you think is worthwhile.
But there are several sites in the network that I thought had some really worthwhile videos:
peternorth.com
devilsfilm
silverstoneDVD
roccosiffredi
PU/TBP has a special price of $14.95/month for the network. But if you're lucky, you might find an even cheaper offer somewhere.

I know it's been awhile since you have reviewed or maybe been a member here but I have a question: I noticed you were the only one who really talked about what the content actually is that is provided. Therefore, I noticed you said speculums. So, since this is extreme spreading, do the models do any 'extreme' spreading with just their fingers or is it primarily insertions and the speculums? I hope this makes sense, or if you even remember. I assume you would because you like the site so much :)
Anyways, I have been interested in ALS Scan for awhile now and I was told that this displays primarily more 'petite' models while ALS Angels is more of the 'thicker and busty' models? Any info from any of these questions would be great and I'd appreciate it a lot!
