Well, squirrel - that navigation is certainly a matter of opinion, grant you that. But as Karup's PC was one of my earlier sites ever to join and been coming back now and then for some time, I maybe learned to like/relate to that navigation - still think it's rather simple - but ok, it's probably mostly a matter of "being used to"...
BTW: I do not find that KPC has more close-ups than others - maybe the opposite, even.
But anyway thanks for the thumbs-up...and appreciate the ping-pong about reviews. We need that here.....

If you do decide to join the TonyBucks network, check to see which site offers you the best deal. Joining through Teen Burg gives you 6 bonus sites. Joining through Spunky Bee gives you 9 bonus sites, for the same price. The Spunky Bee membership includes the Teen Burg site and almost all the TonyBucks sites.
The models at this network are the standard Eastern European models. Not any skinnier than usual. There are even a few girls that have breasts that are medium to large sized. But most have the smaller breasts that are grown in the wilds of Eastern Europe. :)

Thanks for the positive vote, TheSquirrel. But my reviews are really far below the outstanding reviews of someone like Toadsith. That guy has the technical knowledge, clear thinking, organization and way with words to write reviews that are informative and a pleasure to read.
There is definitely a hard-pro tone to most of the videos here. A few of the girls appear new to porn, but that is the exception. And even the new girls, if you see them in a second or third video clip, are fast turning into pros.
Personal taste varies widely. I don't know what you like. There were a few videos I found a year ago that I thought were very interesting and colorful, but I can't find them this time. Which is disappointing.
For $10 you get a 1-month membership to 22 different sites. (I don't know what the rate is for Europe). That is a very low price for around 5 sites that are solid hard-core video sites, with the other sites being niche sites (tranny, Indian [the country], etc.).
But it all depends on what turns you on.
There are sites out there that are worth the money. You just have to keep searching, and keep up the strength. Life, and porn, is what you make of it. :)

Yeah he's a pretty major tool, for some reason I thought it was the same guy as backroomcastingcouch, then realized this guy didn't have the outie... I like this type of niche as well, that's why I joined, but the negatives are pretty major.

Nor me.
In fact, I have reached the point where I will avoid using CCBill if at all possible!
IMO any site that facilitates such a con is just as guilty as the Webmaster who 'requests' it.

Wow, that is crazy low. Weird, maybe it is a Europe thing? Perhaps local ISPs in the UK were capping their bandwidth since they are such a hog? What'd it take, like 5 days to download a small video?

Really? I never had any problems with download speeds, sometimes during what I'm sure are peak download times it would slow a bit. Perhaps you were logging in at bad times or they had technical problems when you were a member? Certainly not the best download speeds, I'm sure they use a ton of bandwidth.
I agree that a lot of people probably join the site and think "holy shit, what a ton of content", but in my experience I have typically only downloaded like one scene out of every 10 DVDs (which is not a good ratio) - and I probably end up going back and deleting 50% of those later...

Yeah, its a relatively new site...at least I think it is. But limiting you to 5, 5 minute previews is a joke. Worst trial I've ever seen. Sapphic erotica trial allows you to stream the entire library. Bangbros limited trial allows you to see half of the entire scene with no limitations of how many scenes you preview. 5 scenes? and only 5 minutes of those 5 scenes? Thats crazy and they dont warn you about the terms anywhere.....Horrible!!

Thanks for the encouragement, TheSquirrel. I know exactly how you feel about waiting for years to join a site. There are many sites I've looked at for years, but still haven't joined. But on this site/network, I was actually a member 8 months ago, but was too lazy to write a review on any of the sites. There are currently over 30 sites in the network, and joining any site in the network gives you access to most, but not all, of the network sites. This is a teen network site, mainly gonzo style. Not really my style, so I don't know why I rejoined the network, other than I was looking for something new, and ended up here instead. There are times when I definitely don't understand my own actions. :)

My theory is that by splitting the contents into 30+ sites, it makes the contents appear much bigger than if the contents were split into 1 or 2 or 3 sites. So it's basically a marketing decision, I think. Also, with the contents spread into many small sites, they can offer access to the sites through each separate site, and through a group offer which is through teenmegaworld, which is not a single site but a mixture of most of the separate sites in the network. Somebody might be drawn/interested in a solo teen site, a boy-girl site, an old-young site, etc. etc. And they could offer a loyalty program that includes more sites in the membership the more months a person stays a member.
So it's basically a marketing strategy, I think.
But the site layout and design for each site is basically the same, from the sites I've seen, as far as navigation and having a video with an accompaning photoset, and the different options for downloading are the same from site to site.
I was a member of teenmegaworld before, and Denner's review is accurate. The navigation has not improved at all: it's very basic, and the search is very poor as well. I agree with Denner's review, except my score is much lower, because my taste in videos is different, and I have a slow ISP download speed (about 160 Kb/s), which makes downloading a single video take about 2 hours (in high quality), and I can't play the videos in flash mode, because my ISP speed isn't fast enough (the flash video stutters and stops, instead of playing). I mentioned the cons in my review, which is why I gave the site a lower score than Denner, who gave it a 90.
If you are into gonzo teen sex, then the network has a lot to offer. I personally want something with a "prettier", more glamorous look, where the models are attractive (they do have attractive young girls, but they are not shown to advantage), and there is more than just a meat factory fuck-suck sex. I would like some tenderness, or some slight story behind the sex to give it some meaning, or where the girls are really excited and enjoying the sex. The girls and the guys could be shovelling snow or mud for all the excitement and heat and enjoyment they are showing in many of the sex clips. I mean, the guys look like the sex is a chore, like they are working for a paycheck, instead of actually enjoying sex with some really cute girls.

Thanks for the kind words. This site (and you get many other sites in the network with a membership) has some really attractive teen girls. The videos are all hardcore. But they leave me cold. I wish it was otherwise, because there are some lovely girls, but they are not attractive in the videos, and in the pictures they are even less attractive. That is me. I know there are PU members who find these videos hot, but I find them boring: hardcore fuck and suck, without any erotic or arousing quality. A real shame, considering some of the girls are really attractive.

Nice, comprehensive review, squirrel. Just the way I like 'em. I have not ever subscribed to a Karups site, something always stopped me .. I always thought the sameness (and lack of lingerie :-) ) had a great deal to do with it until I saw some sample bonus sets of theirs in AO30 and now I know what my biggest problem with Karups is: their photographers do not believe in landscape type shots, there is the odd one but it's usually just a close up of a trunk and not a full body shot.
As to my ideal site, I'm afraid I'm still looking. I haven't subscribed to a new site in over a month because I'm tired of poor substitutes (for my taste!).

If you like the fairly straight-ahead, lightly treated pics at Karups, you might find yourself VERY frustrated by the overly-treated, "let's just pour lacquer over them" pics at Earl Miller. I sure was!
I didn't see one face that wasn't blurred and I didn't find one trace of skin tone in any pics on his site. He shoots a lot of gorgeous women, but the excessive treatment on the pics totally ruined them for me.

That's a very important, very key question you raise about the quality of hardcore photography vs. softcore. (Hey, the spell checker only recognizes hardcore! Hmmm!)
I wonder if it's different photographers doing these different things sometimes. I'm more often than not disappointed in the video cam work in hardcore, so maybe the pics suffer in the same way. ("I don't do softcore. That's the softcore guy's job.")
Now if you get someone like Earl Miller, who does both sc and hc, then the results are much better. (But the videos are full of camera flashes and people holding poses, with Earl clicking "pause" on the actual activity.)
I do keep returning to Karups every now and then after a buildup period. The girls are the reason, of course. (The blowup dolls are at sites like Naughty America; they look virtually inflated!) But in my own very humble opinion, the photographers for Karupspc are generally driven, straight into the bowels of the earth, by an unappealing formula that glorifies pussy and puts ass in the back seat.
If only they'd do more shoots as do Torrid Art, or MetArt, or Walter Bosque Art! Those folks UNDERSTAND.

You discovered my secret shame.
But in spite of my glowing review of Met-art with its high score, and my other posts telling what a great site it is, I've never gotten a free pass to Met-art, or even a thank you from that site.
Maybe they think I'm only telling the truth? :)

The 3-line newbie review ... I think going to pee takes longer than writing one of those. Buncha fucking illiterates. Don't have any idea what "review" means!
Anyway, yours really captures the "Karupspc experience." It is hard to navigate, and that's at least partly because there's so much material!
Actually, if they broke things down by the month, it would be conceptually easier. And the thumbs in the indexes should be larger. They ought to do it more the way Nubiles does it. Hell, they've got pretty much the same monotonous, pussy-obsessed approach to the photo shoots.

Nice, comprehensive review. I'm still searching for those sites where I could write: "great videos, great pics, great girls, what more can you ask, 100."
The closest I could find was Met-art, which was my first review, and that got a 97 score. No other site ever reached that high a rating. Lol.

On the lack of diversity - they have said before that Karups PC is a collection of European models, where Karups HA is a collection of models from the US, so you wouldn't really expect a great deal of diversity from a site that had the parameters that this one does.
I think, though, that the bigger problem with the Karups sites is the same-ness of the style from model to model from set to set.
ATK does much better in this regard, in my opinion. Their different content providers have notice-ably different styles from each other, so you can do searches by a particular photographer/studio if you want more of that particular style.
All that being said, there's a lot to like at both Karups PC and Karups HA.

It's odd - it's very odd - and they've got a comment dated the middle of July 2010 saying "no updates in over a month" while the review dated 7/30 talks about "updates every day".
Meanwhile this is a network that has shed entire sites worth of material, such as "Sleep Creep" - I'm sure that's not the only one because I've been intrigued in the last year by samples up and around - when I've investigated, there's no sign that material is part of this site/network any longer.

Thanks Squirrel - you're right - the preview is lousy in the matter of giving the user an idea about the updates (this site and network) in general.
BTW: The Teen Sex Mania site has a couple of updates (in the last few days) with this full/natural breasted (and not that skinny) Margo - nice material...
I did not regret this join.

Yeah she's good looking, but as soon as she opens that trap it kind of ruins it... Much like elisabeth hasselbeck.
Where's the tentacle porn? I imagine that would freak out most significant others.

Very well done review, Squirrel. It gives an accurate picture of the site, and customer service / communication is so good that I almost hate to make adverse comments about this site.
I am glad you mentioned the recent lack of niche (fetish) updates and I'm not talking Latex. :-) This is something that has really bothered me (as a long term subscriber) since this was the main difference between American Vice and all those others not so long ago.
I think that economic circumstances are starting to make their effects felt and AV are starting to play it safe by offering updates that would appeal to most porn lovers rather than just a few. Which would be understandable. Trouble is, with only one update a day, I suspect that the average Joe would rather pick a place like Video Box with five updates daily, even though everything about American Vice spells quality.
