Thanks for pointing this out. The semi-faux-multiple site scheme of Twistys is a gimmick which, in my view, treads into the realm of the disingenous. ErOhtica lists Twistys and EuroFoxes separately, as does TBP, even though EuroFoxes content is all on Twistys. It's analogous to the brick-and-mortar store practice of stocking shelves "full" at the front to give the impression that more is there than there actually is.
Blue Fantasies, Annette Dawn and that new "office hardcore" site Naughty Staff via Twistys aren't clones, but EuroFoxes and BustyOnes are.
All this being said, for the volume -- especially for the first-time subscriber -- a subscription to Twistys at the TBP discount price is quite a deal.
But I do wish they'd make 1600 or 2000px their baseline standard on pic size. (Had to get that in. ;)

Hi Guys. I agree 100% with you. I've never claimed anything otherwise. In fact I had a large thread on our members forum explaining that exactly. BustyOnes and EuroFoxes is Twistys content for that niche packaged together.
BlueFantasies is 100% exclusive content used only on BlueFantasies.
AnetteDawn is 100% exclusive content used only on Anette.
NaughtyStaff is almost 100% exclusive content used only on NaughtyStaff.
It wasn't our intention to mislead anyone on these sites. We had two goals in mind. #1 was to provide one area for lovers of that niche to find everything they like. #2 (and the main reason) to allow us to expand our brand and take advantage of the depth of content we have inside Twistys. Put simply it's 100% sales driven. We feel if we can attract new members by packaging these sites by niche it would increase our revenue and in turn increase the amount we have at our disposal to reinvest in content. It also lets us know the most popular niches our members are looking for and in turn we would develop new exclusive sites for those niches (Ie NaughtyStaff).
Hope that clears it up.

Just wanted to say thanks to a webmaster for being honest here at PU. A lot of times webmasters seem to get pretty defensive but I like the fact that you admit this is a business. Hell, if I was running a big site I'd probably put out a clone or two myself.

Agreed - and Shap, I certainly wasn't implying any dishonesty on the part of Twisty's - as I said, it's perfectly legitimate for Twisty's to establish niche sites using your existing and new Twisty's content - as someone who values TBP and want them to be as accurate as possible in describing listed sites.
