Well I can't say it isn't a thorough review, but 98!? Noooooooooooooo........
Okay I know it's personal taste and all that. To me this site is a total turn off. The reasons are, too many breast jobs, everything looks the same from what I can make out, too many tattoos, and too many over 40's girls. Once again it's those over made up girls with phony breasts.
There seem to be 2 types of girls. The blonde, looking orange from so much makeup, well over 35, with fake breasts so unnatural they create sagging lines from pulling all the natural flesh out of its normal position, so many tattoos they look like they've been in a bar fight with Mike Tyson, and won, looking like they are 50 trying to look 18 but ending up looking 70. Or there's the brunette, looking orange from so much makeup, well over 35, with fake breasts so unnatural they create sagging lines from pulling all the natural flesh out of its normal position, so many tattoos they look like they've been in a bar fight with Mike Tyson, and won, looking like they are 50 trying to look 18, but ending up looking 70.
Okay, you disagree and love the site, and its just taste and all that - but you have noticed these things from your review. 98!!?? NOOOOOOOOOOO.

REPLY TO #1 - Tree Rodent :
I rarely downgrade on the type of content. The enjoyment of the type of content (be it the genre, the clothing, the type of sex, etc.) is in the eye of the beholder.
Personally, I hate the idea behind Ed Powers' website: some old fat guy screwing hot newbie chicks on the same bed...over and over and over. But the reason I pulled their rating down below a 60 was not because of the type of content. Sure I am not very fond of it, but the site is just generally bad - no downloads, all streaming, the quality of the videos are crap, updates post Dec 2008 are all but nonexistent, etc.
Same goes with Brazzers. I am not particularly fond of the type of girls Brazzers shoots for, that being the blonde bimbos with D+ cups, fake or real. But the big reasons I gave Brazzers a 98 is because the site is just a pleasure to use and everything about the site is a pleasure. The content isn't BAD, nor is it distasteful (see Max Hardcore for distasteful), it is generally well produced and well made. And couple that with a website that is one of the easiest to use and features everything you want out of a website, and you get a 98 rating.
When I rate a website I look for a list of things, and if they are missing then I start to downgrade.
That list (for sites like Brazzers, with exclusive content, not DVD-based content like Videobox):
*download quota, or lack thereof (Reality Kings marked down big from this)
*download manager support (jesus come on, this is the age of queuing files and letting them download overnight)
*proper named girls (is it that hard to get the names right and not use some alter ego?)
*videos accompanied by high quality images (hey I can understand websites like VideoBox not being able to do this since the content is not in their hands, but for sites like Brazzers where the content is entirely in their control not doing it is a major letdown)
*ability to download galleries in ZIP files (come on now, get with the times)
*high quality videos (there better be at least 480x360 resolution available, 640x480 preferred)
*site search (an absolute must for ANY porn site)
*pornstar list page (an absolute must for ANY porn site)
*a decent update schedule
*decent price (anything over $20/mo, forget it. $20 is like the break even point...anything above gets down-rated, anything below gets up-rated)
And these are things where I don't down-rate for not having, but will up-rate if available:
*screencaps from the video
*headshots of girls in a pornstar listing page
*ability to rate material
*ability to comment on material
*quality bonus material
*forum to discuss the site
*more than one format of videos (it is a lot of work and space to host videos in multiple formats, and those sites which do the more power to them)
There is a lot of other things I come across when rating porn sites, which make me either down-rate or up-rate the site, but when it comes to Brazzers there was not much I could find on which to down-rate.

REPLY TO #2 - TrashMan :
Good reply. All of those things you mentioned are very important. It also shows you are thinking and using your own guidelines, which is more than can be said for some of the reviews. Clearly the site is customer friendly. I like your reviews I just hope you take the content a little more into consideration in the future. Even if you don't I would not argue against your right to set up your own criteria when reviewing. It is part of what makes the site so interesting. The only thing I would say is what about if you had all the great stuff that Brazzers has, and then has stunningly beautiful girls as well? Surely it would deserve more than 2 more marks. This isn't meant as a harsh criticism, more a continuation of my theme a few weeks ago about not marking too high, because then what do you do if a truly sensational site comes along? Okay I know - dream on, it probably isn't going to happen.

REPLY TO #3 - Tree Rodent :
I think the only reason I docked Brazzers a couple points was because of the content, due to the lack of variety with the type of girls. As noted in my cons, there aren't many updates for girls (a lot of one-and-done girls), let alone a good amount of girls who have A/B/C cups. Another thing I looked lowly on, but failed to say in my review (but later noted in my review of Reality Kings) is that Brazzers focuses too much on a select few girls (e.g. Eva Angelina, Gianna Michaels, etc.). Reality Kings, on the other hand, spreads out their content over more girls...I don't remember the numbers but its like 24 updates for Eva at Brazzers, and something like 7 over at RK. And similar numbers for Gianna.
Reality Kings has a better variety of girls than Brazzers, but the Brazzers site is just a better and more enjoyable site to use. I think reviewers should put more weight on the design of a site than the content, because, what good is good content if you cant find it or get it easily?
I don't disagree with you that the Brazzers content is not perfect. It does get old, fast, especially if you don't like girls with huge racks. But that doesn't mean it isn't good. It is good fucking, good length, good production, good clothing, good video quality, good variety of type of scenes, good looking girls, quality male characters, etc.
Compare this with Ed Powers: poor quality videos, annoying old fat guy talking to the girls like a douche, annoying old fat guy with a puny dick screwing the girls, poor production, etc.
It is also important to note that big tits sell. Pornstars get implants because they know that the big bucks start rolling in with a huge pair. So to downrate Brazzers for catering to their audience would be incorrect.
