I wrote a lengthy reply to lk2fireone's comment a few days ago. It was not denied, and it did not get posted. I have neither the time nor desire to repeat myself.
PSN has reached epic levels of fail. I have had several downloads, after running for several hours to download a single 3 GB scene, time out due to slow speed. The latest was today. After starting a download for a less-than-3 GB scene at about 3 PM, I came back to the computer at 8 PM, only to find it still downloading, with 14 hours to go. An hour later, the download timed out due to an unknown network error. Peak speed in the short time I observed it, was about 50 KB/s.
Thanks for the input. I'm baffled by the slow downloads myself. I can still get 2.5 MB/s download speeds from other sites while concurrently getting less than 200 KB/s speeds from PSN. I'm pretty sure it isn't my connection, as the PSN speeds are the only slow ones.
I had similar problems before with Team Skeet. The webmaster replied to my comment, and I accepted their offer of a refund then. This time I don't want a refund. I am aware I could get one, but I will soldier on, get the content I want, then consider myself an idiot for not heeding the maxim "caveat emptor."
I admit I was upset with the speeds I was getting, and the stock responses I had gotten from PSN Customer Service. It made me lash out at them publicly, which was intemperate. But considering the comments section says we can comment on technical issues, and I am having a technical issue, it was a valid posting.
Do I regret my actions? Yes, but only to a degree. I reached out to the company first, then was blatantly ignored. I thought my comment was appropriate.
Thanks for your input on your speeds, and taking the time to respond to my issue. As I said, I don't intend to seek a refund though. They have provided me the service I contracted for, I've downloaded several gigs of content, and deserve to keep my money. I just hope they spend my subscription money for better Morse Code lessons for their telegraph operators.
My connection is slightly slower than yours at 38 Meg but I usually get between 2-4 Mb/sec at most sites, I don't think I was getting much more than 2 Mb/sec at The Black Alley though.
Thanks for the review. I consider any review to be excellent that can help me decide whether to join a site.
Regarding upper case, while content over format is by far always my primary concern, it's nice to read text pleasing to the eye. While I'm not near a Windows computer at the moment, I believe that in order to change between upper and lower case in Notepad, all you need do is select the text and right click to toggle to choose upper or lower. In Word, similarly, highlight the text and press SHIFT + F3 to toggle the choices. Not a big deal to me though one way or the other.
I use Word to write reviews. I had to learn the hard way too many times not to write reviews directly in PU lest the cloud gods will have a field day with it. And like RA, I don't write reviews in one sitting any longer. I generally write them over a few days while I'm learning about a site.
Last and a little more controversial, is reviewing sites in a network. If you recall, I suffered a great deal of angst about this not long ago and brought it up in the forum.
I've settled on scoring and writing such reviews based solely on the merits of the individual site or the network as a whole - one or the other. I try not to give much weight when reviewing an individual network site that it is part of a network other than mentioning it. To each his own though and this is not meant as a criticism of anyone else. Hell, far be it from me to be judgmental about a matter I've had such a hard time coming to grips with ;)
I post things on a lot of different BBs for different subjects ranging from classic and modern sports cars to robotics and animatronics to DIY home renovation to, of course, porn. Some are reviews, some are answers to questions, some are how-tos and some are questions to others. That closing line is just a sign-off that I use and I included it here out of habit, I guess. It is not a search for validation (after 10 years and 50 or so reviews, I'd be crazy to still be looking for that.) I do hope that this review helps PU readers make a decision about the site. That's all. :-)
These days it only takes about half an hour to download 5 GB so yes it is frustrating as hell to be paying a premium price for a website you can only use for half an hour a day. One Sunday evening at the end of March I thought I'd waited my 24 hours from my last session the night before to go in and get my daily 5 gigs but after downloading only 3 photo sets I got blocked and then it occurred to me that I'd forgotten the clocks had gone forward 1 hour for the start of British Summer time so in fact it had only been 23 hours. I then had to wait another 24 hours to get back in again....really annoying.
I've heard horror stories of people who've put some time into writing a review and then lost it if the site crashed. I'm guessing that a lot of regulars here use some form of what we use.
I might actually start watching some of the porn I have downloaded on several large external hard drives. I have enough to last a lifetime and more. I would miss the thrill of the collecting a lot, though.
I'm a big fan of most of the sites this company puts out but the business model they seem to be using now is for these smaller, themed sites. They often don't offer good value but with a discount it can be worth a membership or, as has happened to me several times, I just like the niche so it's worth it for me to join at full price. Daughter Swap is among my favourite sites these days and Dad Crush isn't far behind.
Based on your review I might be tempted to join Dyked but it really isn't the kind of porn I collect. That's no criticism of the site or of you for liking it - that's just a big advantage of being a member here at PU.
Please don't take this the wrong way: my eyesight for seeing things close up has deteriorated badly in the past couple of years and I'm too stubborn to switch to bifocals. In most cases I find anything I post here is easier to write using Word (or another word processor) and turn up the font size a bit. For me it has the added advantage of being able to edit any post more easily too. That's also how I write all my reviews. I can take weeks to write a review because I'm always going back and reworking it with new things I want to add or things I criticized but rethought my position on. The final advantage is that some PU members have lost their reviews while they're writing them right on the site. That's not a risk I worry about.

Hey, are you calling me a jaded and elitist NY snob, haha. I can take it and there's certainly some prejudice in my feelings about porn, at least certain types. "San Fernando," in the context that I used it, was meant to be a euphemism for all the crappy artificial porn made throughout the world. The San Fernando Valley, for good or bad, happens to be the largest porn-producing area in the USA if not the world. Sorry for any misunderstanding.
You are absolutely correct though about "porn-fatigue." I have a prejudice against the type of porn described in T&A, though I honestly tried to be at least marginally objective. Unfortunately, at least for me, such porn rules the land, probably cuz that's what consumers want.
Btw, I love California and visit friends there whenever I can.
SOUND CONTROL IS HIT OR MISS SOMETIMES. THE STUNT COCK OR THE MASSEUSE IS TALKING, AND YOU CAN'T MAKE OUT THE WORDS, BECAUSE THE SOUND IS TOO LOW. EVEN WITH THE COMPUTER'S SPEAKERS AT MAXIMUM, YOU CAN'T HEAR WHAT THE MODELS ARE SAYING.
THE FUCKED HARD 18 VIDEOS ARE MUCH BETTER. BETTER ACTING, FROM THE STUNT COCK. BETTER BUILDUP TO THE SEX. AND BETTER SEX, BECAUSE THE GUY IS IN CONTROL.
BANGABLE. STOPPED UPDATING IN DECEMBER 2016.
YEARS AGO, BANGABLE CONTENT WAS VERY SHORT CLIPS (3 MINUTES RUNTIME OR LESS) OF MODELS IN UNDERWEAR OR SWIMSUITS WHO DANCED TO MUSIC. SO IT WAS A SOFTCORE TEASE SITE.
THE MODELS WERE UNIFORMLY ATTRACTIVE TO SUPER-ATTRACTIVE YOUNG WOMEN, IN LATE TEENS, EARLY TWENTIES.
THOSE CLIPS WERE EXCLUSIVE, I BELIEVE.
THEN THE SITE STARTED UPDATING WITH VIDEOS FROM PARTNER SITES, WHO ALLOWED BANGABLE TO FEATURE THE VIDEOS AS A FORM OF CROSS-ADVERTISING.
THESE VIDEOS HAD A RUNTIME OF 20-30 MINUTES, FEATURED MID-CORE AND HARDCORE SEX.
THE MUSIC SOUNDTRACK OF THE VIDEOS IS ANNOYING, TO PUT IT MILDLY.
THE MODELS ARE VERY ATTRACTIVE.
THE CAMERA-WORK OF THE NEWER VIDEOS CAN BE ANNOYING, BECAUSE IT'S TRYING TO PROJECT AN ARTSY-FARTSY FEELING TO THE VIDEO, WITH THE FOCUS JUMPING AROUND INSTEAD OF SHOWING THE MODEL CLEARLY AND SMOOTHLY, SO YOU GET A SIMILAR SENSATION OF ONE OF THE JASON BOURNE FILMS, WHERE THE CAMERA SKITTERS AROUND, AND AT BANGABLE, THE SKITTERING CAMERA MAKES YOU WANT TO SAY, FIRE THE CAMERA-MAN, GET A TRIPOD SO THE CAMERA SHOWS THE MODEL SIMPLY AND CLEARLY.
EPIC SEX - LAST UPDATE WAS DECEMBER, 2014.
THE VIDEOS ARE NICE, BUT NON-EXCLUSIVE.
IF YOU VISITED TEEN MEGA WORLD OR THE DIESEL NETWORK SITES, YOU HAVE PROBABLY SEEN MANY OF THE EPIC SEX VIDEOS.
WHICH MAKES ME WONDER WHY THEY STOPPED UPDATING THE SITE. SURELY, THE COST OF THESE VIDEOS, WHICH ARE SOLD TO COMPETING SITES, IS NOT VERY EXPENSIVE. NOT ANYWHERE NEAR AS MUCH AS IT WOULD COST TO PRODUCE THEIR OWN, EXCLUSIVE VIDEOS.
A FEW YEARS AGO, PORN MASTERMIND WAS PRODUCING EXCLUSIVE CONTENT FOR THE THEIR SITES.
THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, THAT STOPPED COMPLETELY, AND THEY STARTED USING VIDEOS FROM OTHER, COMPETING PAYSITES.
BUT EVEN THOSE VIDEOS HAVE STOPPED UPDATING.
I GUESS THEY EITHER RAN OUT OF MONEY, OR THE MANAGERS HAVE LOST INTEREST IN THESE SITES.
PORN MASTERMIND MIGHT BE WORTH A 1 MONTH MEMBERSHIP, TO DOWNLOAD AS MUCH AS YOU CAN FROM THE SITES YOU ENJOY, THE VIDEOS YOU FIND WORTHWHILE.
CONTINUED IN NEXT REPLY:
I like the heat that those darkly lit scenes have. I like the way that the director uses the light and shadows to create a mood. But I can understand your position too. The dark scenes are only part of one series so there aren't too many of them.
I should add that I like the scenes they shoot outdoors too. Those look amazing.
I like the whole premise of Teens Do Porn. It has the same feel of some other sites like Girls Do Porn and Broke Model (or Broke Models, I forget which one I mean as they are different sites and Exploited College Girls. It's a simple niche, but I guess I like the simple things in life!
Teens Do Porn is one of my favourite sites so I rejoin Team Skeet regularly to get access to it. I'm glad to see that others share my high opinion of the site.
REVIEW CONTINUED:
-GOOD DOWNLOAD SPEEDS. ABILITY TO STREAM AND/OR DOWNLOAD IN MULTIPLE DEFINITIONS.
-ONE NEW UPDATE DAILY FOR THE NETWORK.
-TOO MANY ADS, COMMON TO MOST PAY SITES.
-NON-SECURE LOGIN PAGE, COMMON TO MANY PAY SITES.
GIVING THE SITE A SCORE OF 85, BECAUSE OF BASIC NETWORK ACCESS. IF THE SITE WERE SCORED AS A STAND-ALONE SITE,
BECAUSE THE CONTENT IS MUCH SMALLER (IN TERMS OF VIDEOS AND NUMBER OF MODELS), THE SCORE WOULD BE MUCH LOWER.
Thanks for reviewing this site. Back when it was active it was one of my favourite sites because it had a niche I love - old guy, young girl - with American models. I've been dropping in to the tour page but the way it's set up it's hard to tell if there are any new scenes since the last time I was there. Thanks to you I now know that there aren't. you saved me some possible frustration.
By golly, that's the one
excellent reason for using upper case.
I won't release the dobermans...
As for getting old, expect befuddled me
to forget your explanation & post a
similar comment inside of six months.
