GCode's Review
from turboshaft:
Yes, great review! I am glad you are enjoying the site, hopefully based on some of my responses to your inquiries a few weeks back. :) I usually hate proselytizing, but I make a serious exception for ALS (okay, and most porn, but I prioritize my preaching for ALS!).
One of your cons mentioned one of my peeves -- voting. Goddamnit, a porn site should not be a democracy! It needs to be run by a qualified perverted tyrant who will just go ahead and release everything, and in order. But seriously, I remember some models, even ones from the last few years, with very little content due simply to not having the votes. I don't want to sound like Norm Coleman, but can we have recount? Just so we can see their material, please?
They do have some of the best photography and videography out there, at least in terms of using good equipment and proper setup, and then choosing models that will not require excessive Photoshopping. I wish other sites would take a hint, and try making their photography and models look a little more real, but they'll probably never learn.

Never joined, but I know the Tora-Tora series of DVDs are good (a couple of Maria Ozawa uncensored) and is a very large series.

I was just looking around inside the site again and I saw nothing on exclusivity. I've seen a lot of ladyboy porn sites though and I've never seen any of these videos. Most of the girls seem fresh too so it's a safe bet that the videos are exclusive.

I'm a bit late in responding to your comment but just want you to know I agree with you, now that I have re-subscribed to this site. The promise of HD Videos made me do it! There have not been too many downloads of picture sets on my part because many of the models are indeed not very attractive.

Thanks for your concern GC.
I admit that I'm a tough critic. Even though I give these sites low scores based on technical merit, I usually don't totally regret joining. I'm always looking for new stuff to feed my porn addiction and I usually can find something worth keeping from most sites I join. I just want to give others a warning.
Anyways, I have found a few nice sites thanks to reviews I've read here from other PU's.

Nope, never have joined this site although it did inspire the poll question. When it comes to pics I like sets or series and this site seems to focus mostly on "one off" pics or just a few pics in a series so I haven't been that attracted to it and the price is a bit high for me to just take a gander at it. Good luck, maybe you'll have to be the one to take the leap.

1. Small - 535 x 800 px, medium - 1600 x 1070 px, large - 3000 x 2008 px
2. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "proper" photo shoots, but I think you mean are they meant to be photo shoots as opposed to just video screen captures or something of the sort. If that's how you mean it, then the answer is yes, they are proper photo shoots. Some of the photo shoots do accompany a video shoot, but they are still different, the photo shoot may be in the same location with the same outfit, but it is not just screen captures and often times something will be a little different like a different toy used or something. Other times there are photo shoots that do not have a video associated with it at all.

Follow-up to lack of email response:
I did get an email reply today from this site, in response to my fourth email to them.
The email was friendly and generous.
The email stated the site was giving me 10 free days of additional membership to the site, based on the problems I was experiencing.
The email asked me if I was using a download manager.
It also explained that support did not receive the first 3 emails I sent to them about my problems. To send the first three emails, I used the site software, where you click on the hot link of the Banned page message, a popup box appears where you enter the email message stating your problem, and then click the send link, using the internal site system. I would have thought the system would be more secure and less prone to error than trying to send an email to support using your own email program. But none of those emails were received by support.
The email that was received, my fourth email, I sent using Yahoo email, to the accounts@sexasian18dotcom address I found at the site. Someone at their site found that email in their spam box.
I am hoping I will get an additional email, that explains how I can use a download manager and still avoid being banned. The site Knowledge Base states that a download manager is allowed. The download manager should be set to download a single thread at a time. After the first day, I have only downloaded 1 file at a time. But I don't know how to specifically set my download manager to download 1 thread at a time, because that might be different from downloading 1 file at a time.
If anyone reading this reply knows specifically how to set up Free Download Manager to download 1 thread at a time, I would appreciate instructions.
I have read elsewhere that Free Download Manager might split a single file into sections and then download them simultaneously. But I don't know if Free Download Manager is splitting a single file into sections and downloading them simultaneously, and that is what is causing me to get banned before I hit the 12 GB download limit.
Using Free Download Manager would make it a lot easier to download multiple files from the site, and save me time and effort, if I can use it without getting an early and wrongful ban.

Hi GCode,
Yes I agree, there is, to a degree, already built-in to the system, protection against spurious/devious websites. BUT, at long as the information about the spurious nature of sites is retained, so it can be seen by potential members when browsing the BP site.
ie. don't delete all the stuff about the site from the BP servers. We need to know "Who" the offenders are.
But, so as not to give the site any undeserved publicity, having a link next to the name of the site that directs the user to the "Named and Shamed" Page....instead of the reviews page, would ensure that everyone is warned. A selection of comments could be retained so the user gets the picture about the site.
Cheers.

GCode, thanks for positive feedback on my review.
The truth is there is a large element of luck with some of these personal experiences. I had problems, but evidently you and jd1961 and nbaby8 didn't, as reflected in your much higher scores. Another person might join and not get banned as often as I did, or have better luck with support answering their emails.
I still don't know why I have been banned so often. I assume it's because their software for counting bandwith usage is buggy, because I never exceeded the bandwidth limit.
As for never receiving a response to my emails to support, someone else might have better luck or they might experience the same lack of response.
A few PU members mention poor email support for a site in their reviews or comments, but I think most PU members don't use support unless they are having a really serious problem with that site.

Yes, this does happen apparently.
See my comments and review on Mega Site pass...I had a very similar problem with "stealth instant upsells".....utterly disgraceful.
A member of a site, should feel free to explore the site and click on links without fear of signing himself up to other sites, services etc.
I reckon we should have a page on this site for naming and shaming sites that do this type of thing.....

Sticking to well known billing companies is a pretty good plan. I think I'll do that from here on as well. Thanks about the review. I will try to do some more sites that I have subscribed to in the past couple of years too.

You know what, I'm an idiot. I didn't do my homework and research before joining. I just joined Ladyboy Dolls.
It is the same price to join Total Tranny Pass and you get that site and a few others. You don't get network access for joining any of the single sites. I've been a member of only tgirls before too.
Its run by the same company and uses the same billing, I should have just joined Total Tranny Pass.
Shame on them for charging the same price for a single site that they do for the network, but its my fault 'cause I'm supposed to be an experienced PU. Oh well.

I have not had any reply from customer support yet on my emailed problem. The site advertises 24/7 support, and that any email request will be handled within 48 hours. I sent my email yesterday morning, so it's been about 30 hours so far.
Actually, the counter for download bandwidth limit resets each day at Midnight EST (I read that somewhere inside the site.) So even though my notice of being banned from the site stated 15 hours of banishment, I was able to get into the site and download starting around 9pm PST. I found that by accident when I went to the site and hit a download button, and the stupid file started downloading (stupid, because I had already downloaded a previous copy of that particular photoset).
What really surprised me was that I downloaded that file, 43 MB, in only a few seconds. My download speed is only about 157 kb/s, so the computer somehow used the previous copy already on my PC, or some other copy that it stored in some temporary storage folder, to make that new file copy, even though it was being downloaded from the paysite.
Anyway, I will report what customer support tells me, if I get a reply. At some paysites, they advertise 24/7 email support, but the truth is that you don't get any response to your emails.

I thought that was what the poll asked about? Among my Firefox bookmarks I have no porn sites, they're in my favourites here at PU.

I absolutely use the Favorites feature to do the same thing. If I find an interesting porn site, I will add it to Favorites, along with a comment about the pricing and come back to it in a month. I've been burned by subscribing to a website too quickly, so I like to have a personal cooling-off period before I join.

The main attraction of this site (and almost any site, as far as I am
concerned) is how attractive are the models. Some of my favorites are Maria Ozawa, Cecil Fujisaki, Sora Aoi, Saori Hara, Tina Yuzuki. Maria Ozawa is absolutely gorgeous.
Aino Kishi is a new one for me.
Thanks for the recommendation. I will give her a try.
I would love to try all the different JAV sites that look to be worthwhile. But with limited cash, I thought this site would, because of its large content and apparently good-quality videos and photosets, be a good site to belong to.
I just need to get back into the site, when they unblock me, to see what I can download.
I did send a message to the help desk explaining that I was blocked and should not have been. But an email reply can take 1-2 days, and I should have access sometime tomorrow. But I am interested in what the support email will say, because I did explain clearly that I only downloaded 2.98 GB out of a daily limit of 12 GB. I also mentioned being blocked for about 2 hours because no popup page for username and password would pop up on my PC. Some help desks are almost useless, and there is the additional problem, I assume, that the help desk might be in Japan, so English would be a second language. But I am curious to see if the help desk will offer anything beyond a mechanical message that "We're sorry about your problem. Hope you feel better soon". Some help desk emails are entirely mechanical (form letter), and it seems they haven't even bothered to read the email requesting help.

Thanks for the tip, Gcode. Actually, I used Firefox browser and DownThemAll download manager to download my files from this site. I used DownThemAll because I thought that if a file download is interrupted, DownThemAll might allow the download to be resumed, instead of restarted from the beginning of the file download.
After I got the "exceeded download limit" message, I looked around their site, and found in the "Knowledge Base>Download Related>Can I use a download manager to download movies?" the following statement:
"Yes, you can [use a download manager], but please remember to setup your download manager to download using one (1) thread only. Multiple download threads will be counted towards your bandwidth. We will not issue any refund that is related to the use of multi-threaded downloads."
If I was a lawyer, which I am not, I would read that statement to say that "mulitiple download threads will be counted towards your bandwidth." Actually, that is exactly what they wrote.
If they miscount my bandwidth usage, that is their error, not mine.
I was cut off from access at 2.98 GB, when the daily limit is 12 GB.
And if they refuse me access because of their error, I see little or no reason to pay for service which they are not providing.
Sorry, I realize in the real world things don't always work, and everyone likes to say the blame lies with someone else.
So I will either cancel the service, and tell my credit card company I was billed improperly, or try to get over the irritation and wait until I am allowed back in, to see what other problems this site dumps on me. Grrrrr. (Tony the Tiger).
Thanks again for taking the time and effort to share your experiences.

Sorry, I don't have any additional details on the new pricing. The only information is that it is a "special" offer, whatever that means. I plan on joining tomorrow, and downloading for 1 month solid.
This is one of the biggest and best JAV sites that I know of.
