I agree with the points you made, Capn, but here we have once again one of those attempts by a site to make it right for everyone and for you and me their effort has backfired while others are delighted to finally find the hardcore they've been looking for. Chacun a son gout, I guess, I just wish there were more sites for mon gout!

I can't argue the score you gave the site if it didn't work for you, but I don't understand how you can knock it for trying to appeal to a wide range of tastes. I guess you could call women over the age of 30 a niche, but it's not like they're a women in chocolate sauce site and they started branching out into vegetable based condiments. Being over 30 isn't really a constriction (unless you have a need to get asked for ID at the bar). I guess I'm just not sure how offering variety can be a bad thing. One of the things I've always liked about AO30 is that just about every update includes something from a different category. A new model, a solo video, a new picture set from an existing model, etc.

Well, the wider you range a site the more likely there is material included which won't appeal.
Given that it is a niche site, I think it is a mistake to try and go mainstream with it.
That goes for the outfits & the nature of the material. Glam wear & matures don't always sit well together either.
Just the way I see it. :0)

I'm a bit confused as far as the mainstream glam remark? Maybe just the elegant ladies category but I found more than half the outfits to be regular attire worn to the mall or them doing regular household chores. I think there is a superior mix of glam with different outfits. Plus, there is a lot of working woman attire (I.E.: secretary) which I would never qualify as glamour at all.
I do agree with the fact that not all models are beauties. I think this is due to the site trying to update so much quickly that they cannot pick and choose quality models for updates. But, with talks about this with messmer and others, one person's gem of a woman can be another person's hag.
I'm not trying to ridicule or be negative, but I dislike the fact that this review had no comment about the videos. It's not fair for the site which has both quality photography and videography to only be judged on your opinion of the quality of photography. But, this is just my opinion.
To move on, while personally I think the score is a bit low, I just can't figure out why the score is so low. 77 is a bit average for this site in my opinion. All I can see for the reason that the site is scored a bit lower than I think is because you think there is too much glamour photos, it features hardcore plus solo, and not all the models are hot? Interesting.
Thanks for the review and welcome to PU. I hope to see more reviews soon. Take care.

Thanks for your comprehensive response.
Everyone's perceptions & opinions vary
That is what makes a site like this so interesting in being able to exchange views.
What I am trying to get at with the glam clothing remark is that in some cases it can come over as mutton dressed as lamb, especially on a mature site & this one is no exception to that IMO.
I think mature ladies often look at their best in formal or casual attire.
The reason I will probably always refrain from comment on videos in any review I write is I don't care for them. I rarely if ever watch them, so on that basis it would not be fair to comment on them.
By & large, hardcore similarly does not appeal to me.
I hope you can understand better where I am coming from on this! ;0)

I am getting a better understanding and can agree to an extent on how you feel about a mature woman dressed in glam. However, the main point I'm getting at is that is like 1/4, if not less of the content on this site is glamour; so I don't understand how this can be a such a huge setback for you. I'd say more than half of the photos are featuring the women in everyday clothes. Isn't that what you want? (confused).
I am not trying to give you a hard time at all. But, I am just trying to understand your scoring for the site. A site that mixes up content with solo, lesbianism, and hardcore should be more praised, even if the solo content is what you want mostly. I just don't see how this is a negative aspect of a site and worthy of points being reduced.
Right on with the only commenting on only photography. However, I only think doing this will be a set back for your reviews in the future to not include some info on them. But, to each it's own.
But, to sum it up, I don't think I'm going to fully understand the scoring of this review without some more clarification about as to why certain aspects are cut down. However, these are opinion based reviews and just because I don't understand or fully agree with the review does not mean I am right. Thanks for your time.

Formal, casual, everyday clothes, yes, that is what I prefer.
Well, as I listed in my cons, I don't care for the hardcore or the videos. I am not into lesbianism either TBH.
I don't take it that you are trying to give me a hard time, on the contrary, I enjoy the exchange of opinion. :0)
As regards the video issue.
I don't see a lot of point watching if I don't enjoy it.
It is not as if I am being paid for it. LOL!
Not being an enthusiast for them, I doubt my opinion would be of any use to folk anyway.
I think it fairer just to be up front about it & say I won't pass comment on them.
I suppose I could add some statistics referring to them?
You see where I am on this?

Hi Capn,
In regard to not commenting on videos: I see your point, since you don't care for video, but there is a way to be simple and totally objective about commenting on it. For instance, download a few, and get some basic stats, for instance:
"Vids are mostly 640x480, bitrates averaging about 2000k." This doesn't pass any real judgment on them and you don't have to look at them at all, and the information can be helpful to people who are considering a subscription. You might also touch on other points, as in, do they contain a music track, does the videographer yakkety-yak his way through the vid, or perhaps he believes he is the Fellini of porn and films everything while standing on his head...
Even if this info has been passed on by other reviewers, it still improves your own review and makes it more complete. I'm more of a pic guy myself, so I understand where you're coming from.
I didn't read through the whole exchange so apologies if someone has already said all of this.

I would find that a real irritation.
You got too bored & distracted to read through a few lines of text.
So think how it would be for me waiting for a download of something I don't want & then having to watch it & write a review of it! :0/
