That's why they call it that?
I've wondered what the name meant. I've heard of the site, but never checked it out.

If your a newbie to the site what does it matter? There is tons of material to view and download its doubtful you can get to see all of it in a one month membership. I joined a site that stop adding new material for over a year but the site was so big I doubt I saw 1/4 of the material.

Precisely I'm not a newbie and what you say doesn't explain the issue.

Of course lawless got a point (and BTW it seems lawless is not a newbie in this field in general).
1ByDay is/used to be a favorite here at PU and with a topscore at TBP, too - but I agree with lawless: the site's in trouble - the updates is certainly not as fine/good as earlier, so let's all (1ByDay-fans) keep an eye on that site...
BTW: The new design/layout does NOT add up for worse updates.

Unfortunately, it sounds like even the top sites are now succumbing to the usual consumer pitfalls: price creep, package creep (same price but smaller package), recycling content, etc. Too bad but I can live with one update per day. In the long run it will probably hurt their revenues more as people are less likely to pay for multi-month memberships with fewer updates.

I guess 1By-Day is now updated once a day to bankroll the new ddf site EuroTeenErotica.

Well, the site was never officially called 1byday and 1bynight. I guess there could be many reasons why they went back to 1 update per day. One, I think, could be the fact that they have several new sites, another is they are launching the new Eve Angel solo site and I guess Denys can only be in so many places at one time to film new content.
Maybe the growing negativity towards the site has taken away some of their ambition. Even when delivering two full HD updates per day, some were still complaining in reviews. One of those damned if they do, damned if they don't scenarios.

Man, that's the weakest excuse I've ever heard - "some reviewers at Porn Users are saying bad things about our site so we're going to cut our updates by half!" I can't imagine that they would be so petty or dumb. It's a premium-priced site and the flagship of their brand, so it doesn't seem like a wise move - but perhaps they looked at how going to 2 updates a day had affected their membership and just didn't see a difference between joins at 1 update a day and joins at 2 updates a day - so why not save the money and cut back to one a day?

Panther, I guess you missed where I said that there could be numerous reasons. Anyway, most reviews of 1byday, from major review sites were done in 2007. Long before they went to the 2 updates per day format. The only current reviews and comments that are public and easily viewed, by way of visiting TBP, are the PU ones. I'm looking at the list of "outside reviews" and only see two of the major sites (Freeones, Sir Rodney) that have reviewed 1byday over the last year, and I'm not for sure how seriously anyone takes Freeones reviews.
And you're right, the reason you give is a possibility, which is the reason I said there are numerous possibilities. I also know that last year, 1byday had a lull in new updates and it was because DDF was off filming, seems like it was around last spring. The one I gave is a possibility too. I remember 1byday changing their removal of archive right after several PUs complained about it.
As for you, please, get over whatever your problem is with me. This comment was not about me or my reply.

This decrease in updates wouldn't be as bad if a) they stopped advertising 2 updates per day, b) they added an extra update when one of their "Jokes" sets was the set posted, or c) they added an extra update when they posted an ALS Scan set posted - I've got to give props once again to ALS Scan - when they post a set from 1 By Day, it's an extra - it's not a replacement to the ALS Scan material that would be posted that day. In my view if a site is going to a flag-ship site - as ALS Scan is - as One By Day is - and if they're going to charge premium prices - you have to join One-By-Day for a full year to bring the monthly price below $20/month - then they ought to be held to quite a high standard of performance.
If they've got one main guy as they photographer, and he's stretched doing work on their other sites, they ought to do what Suze Randall did and cultivate a group of contributing photographers - have those others fill out the updates on the site to give more value to the members.
