| Pros: |
-24/7 customer support. Support is part of the MetArt network, which is among the finest csutomer support teams for any porn site. The only upgrade I would suggest would be to start a 24/7 live chat.
-Login and member pages are https. Secure.
-Unlimited streaming.
-Unlimited downloads.
-Choice of definitions for downloads. Low, medium, high.
-Choice of definitions for online streaming of a photoset. Low, medium, high.
The online player is fast and easy to use. |
| Cons: |
-Cons used to be basically minor. This is part of the MetArt network, so you knew you were getting a quality product. But lately the site seems to be stumbling.
-Membership only gives you access to the Stunning18 site. No bonus sites are included.
-The update rate has really dropped off in the last year. From a lot of updates per month in previous years, the rate has dropped to maybe 4 updates a month recently.
-The chronological listing of photo set updates is jumbled. Instead of a continuous listing of updates for each month of a year, there are gaps where there is no listing for photo sets from different past year's months.
-I don't know if it's lack of funds or lack of technical staff, but the site needs to be better organized, to make searching the contents easier, to find what's available. |
| Bottom Line: |
I believe Stunning18 was started and run by Antonio Clemens. He was the main photographer for the site. I don't know if he is suffering ill health or what the problem is, but the update rate for the Stunning18 site has dropped way down. And the site has some technical problems where the chronological listing of the updates, by year and month, is showing a lot of gaps. It looks like Thierry Murrell, another erotic photographer with experience in glam photography, has stepped in to supply much of the recent updates at Stunning18.
Thierry Murrell was the main photographer at Glam Deluxe, which was a small glam site that featured at lot of attractive teen models. But the Glam Deluxe site closed a few years ago. Thierry Murrell has previously contributed to the MetArt site.
My recommendation: which is based on a lack of knowledge of what the problems are at the Stunning18 site:
Thierry Murrell was the main photographer at Glam Deluxe. I assume he controls or owns or has some interest in the content at the closed Glam Deluxe site.
I suggest that MetArt staff make an offer to buy or lease the content from the Glam Deluxe site, and use that content to fill the gaps in the update rate for Stunning18.
There might be egos involved, legal considerations. But MetArt took over the Domai and Goddess Nudes sites, and runs other sites under the MetArt banner. I was a member of Glam Deluxe years ago: the models were very attractive, the photography seemed first rate.
This would be a way for the owners of the Glam Deluxe content to monetize the content, and for Stunning18 to fill the gaps in the update rate, and give the site time to settle whatever other problems the site might be having.
MetArt can publish a short blog explaining that they've taken control of the former Glam Deluxe site contents, with the approval of Thierry Murrell, to help fill the gaps in the current update rate. That should help explain to the Stunning18 members why MetArt is using previously published or unpublished content from another site.
Just a suggestion. But worth looking into.
Personally, I think it's a shame when a good site closes, and the contents, if worthwhile, are lost to people who would be interested in viewing or collecting those contents.
My recommendation is to wait for the update rate to pick up again, before joining the Stunning18 site. There is plenty of older photosets to browse, but if you want newer updates, wait for the update rate to return to normal.
I'm giving the Stunning18 site a score of 82, until they fix the update rate and the chronological listing of their contents. |
