I love ALS, but it is too bad that they only allow 4 weeks of videos to be viewed. The solo girl content is OK, but I prefer the girl-girl, and there are not that many in a 4 week time span for me to justify a $30/month price. ALS could be the best site on the web, if we had access to the video archives.

Yeah, they're one of those sites that would rather upsell their DVDs than give members access to their video collection online. Agree that it makes the price too high and the fleeting comings and goings of the videos frustrating.
I suppose that server capacity is what they'd offer as an explanation, though that must be kinda hard to "sell."
I wait awhile before rejoining, and the videos aren't an issue for me (not really interesting in female masterbation videos).

Peaches too thick in the hips? I guess that is why Eve Angel hasn't been on there as well. I have considered joining a time or two, with Sophie and some of my other favorites, but I also see a lot of very slim models, which I'm not really into. Like Kat as example.

You might want to take a look at ALSAngels if you're looking for more voluptuous models than you find on on ALSScan. According to what I've read, the owner decided to differentiate the two sites by physiotype and those models with a more "mature" look would be featured on ALSAngels. So, you'll find the Eve Angel/Sandra Shine types over there.

ALS does have, as I write this, 79 DVDs of material available for sale. For some reason, 32 of their titles are available for shipping on a physical disk. All 79 are available for download in three formats. The good news is that the customer isn't required to purchase the entire DVD of material. Individual scenes can be purchased and downloaded. So, if you're looking for specific models or specific behaviors, you can browse through and select the ones you like.
And, while I haven't gone through all their offerings or been a member long enough to go through their production/offering cycles, I suspect that any scenes being offered for sale via ALSDVDS and also being available for download at some point on ALSScan or ALSAngels are more the exception than the rule. In the few months I've been a member, I don't recall seeing any duplication of availability.

Robare, thanks I hadn't seen the ALS Angels site before, but will join up to see what all they have, I noticed several sets of Eve in the preview and they look to be right when she was really blossoming as a model with the smile and such. Thanks again!

Both ALS Angels and ALS Scan post DVD material - ALS Angels typically has material available from 2 or 3 of their DVD's as part of the current vids
Right now, for instance, included in the current vids on the ALS Angels site are DVD #87 with Sandra Shine, DVD #90 with Eve Angel and DVD #92 with Breanne.
On the ALS Scan site, you can get the complete DVD #91, ALS in St John, with Nella, Brea, Amy Lee, Sandy, Paris & Adele (this is a temporary bonus that may be pulled any day) plus individual scenes from about 7 other DVD's as part of the current vids available.
I've got to say that the vids of their most recent Caribbean trip with Jana Foxy/Jana Jordan are truly wonderful - some of the best stuff that I've ever seen them post.

ALS Scan currently has a full 2 1/2 months of vids available - this is at the upper end of the scale for them leaving vids out there, so this may change any day. While it is unpredictable how long vids will be available beyond the 4 weeks guaranteed, they do seem to be trying to increase the time of availability in practice.
I agree that the site would tremendously increase the value to their members if they had their full library of vids available.
I'll suggest it to Alex - he's always available for suggestions - and will be pretty direct in saying so if it ain't ever gonna happen.

Thanks, PinkPanther, for the info. It's good to know they do make some of the product they offer for sale on ALSDVDS available for download for free and that they've publicly acknowledged it. It appears to be a unique business model, one oriented towards giving the customer a satisfying experience (except, perhaps, for some of those who purchase scenes from ALSDVDS only to find what they purchased have become available for free. :) ). But, it would make sense if their sales are predominantly from the ALSScan and ALSAngels websites.
And, I agree about their most recent Caribbean trip. From what I've seen so far, it looks like the models have a lot more fun in situations that are less scripted. The good thing for the people behind the site is, while there's a lot more filming, there's less editing. The great thing for the viewers is getting a more authentic, flowing, whole experience, rather than the standard no talking, slow strip, the annoying patterned breathing ("uuuuuuu", followed by sucking air through the teeth, continue to repeat until simulating cumming), the pseudo-seductive glances at the camera or someone in the scene, touching, maybe toying, maybe cumming, then supposedly drifting off to sleep ("CUT") fare that is seen so often on other sites. So far as I'm concerned, the people at ALS are setting a standard of quality that is plainly lacking in other sites, although abbywinters and ftvgirls seem to come closer to meeting that standard than the rest.

One other note - I e-mailed Alex and let him know the feedback here about how much higher value people think his sites would have if the entire library of vids were available.
He said that they were thinking about doing that - no promises about time frame - but that the vids that they currently offer as bonuses, such as the special collection of Caribbean trip vids or DVD's, would continue to be available for a limited period of time.
The great thing about ALS Scan, in addition to the high quality, is that for the past year especially, they have gone into a mode of continuous improvement.

FYI - Alex put a note in his blog this week that they were having a limited time sale on their DVD's. To tell the truth, I've never bought the DVD's so I didn't check out the details on the sale, but I remembered that there was someone here that mentioned liking the DVD purchase option, so I thought I'd add this note.

Actually, the tokens can be used to purchase physical DVDs or to purchase the video files themselves. When last I looked, there was a much broader selection available for download than on DVD so the download option may be preferable for most users. The tokens can be used up to 90 days after purchase and the material available is from both the ALSScan and the ALSAngels sites. DVDs numbering from 18 to 100 are presently available for download. Alex indicated there are to be an additional ten DVDs to be individually released at irregular intervals up to Nov. 14th.
Now that I look back through the video releases, it appears ALSScan releases one DVD video per week. The videos come from a variety of DVDs. But the DVDs may have anywhere from 8 to 12 files per DVD so there's still a lot of content that doesn't get released through the ALSScan site.
Also, since DVD #93, the format of the video files offered was raised to 2.0 Mb/sec (640x480), 3.0 Mb/sec (800x600), and 5.0 Mb/sec (640x480) MPEG2. Prior to that, the formats of the videos are offered were 1.5 Mb/sec (640x480), 2.0 Mb/sec (720x540), and 5 Mb/sec (640x480) MPEG2.

For at least 4 years I have joined alsscan for a month here and there when the current cycle of videos has a lot that I would like to see. I haven't joined in quite some time, however, because even though there are 7 movies a week, not all of them are new as there are always the "newly encoded from the archives" videos with the same models I have seen many times. Perhaps for new people that is great but it seems that they have an absolute ton of content waiting to be released and should get to it. There have been nearly 10 new models over the last 4-6 months that have hardly had any videos released because, according to Alex, there is still so much stuff to release BEFORE that. Well get to it I say and tone down the amount of rehashed releases. If they would leave all their content up instead of cycling this would remove this problem. Hell, I've read in his blog from '06 of certain girls he has shot and still have yet to see anything from the shoots. It would be understandable that if they left all the content on the site updates may not be able to happen 7 days a week, but I would gladly take 3-4 updates a week that stay up so they can start moving through all this content and start getting to some new model material.
