WWW, I am tempted. When you talk about picture size how small is small? Also has any attempt been made to have the earliest sets look better? It hasn't been that long since everything looked grainy and grayish and was 800 x 600.

REPLY TO #1 - messmer :
Messmer, I wish I could answer your question precisely, but it's been over nine months since I was at the Archives, and this was long before my external hard-drive, so I put everything I download from there on CD. It would take a lot of time to find the material, since I have tons of CDs.
If I remember correctly, most of the earliest pics are probably 800 X 600, but more recent pics are larger, yet still small by today's standards. Quality-wise, the oldest pics from the Archives are pretty bad, these being from the late nineties. What is frustrating for me is that while the pic size and quality were poor in those days, the style and content of the pictures were more appealing to me: more amateurish/girl-next-doorish as opposed to arsty/slick/glamorous, more old-school undies as opposed to thongs, butt-floss, and various kinds of shorts posing as panties, less tattoos and piercings, etcetera.
I don't know if they tried to upgrade the condition of old pic sets, sorry. If memory serves, I don't think so. Bear in mind, I cut my teeth in the old Newsgroups which posted pics from ATK all the time, and I was happy to be able to go and find the complete sets for most of those pics. That went a long way in making my experience with ATK's Archives more pleasurable. I suppose I was slightly biased.
Hope this helps at all. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply, WWW. I think there's a yearning in both of us for contents that are rapidily going the way of the Dodo. I too hate thongs and tattoos and piercings etc. but it's the in-thing. That's why it's becoming so hard to find a site that appeals to anyone over thirty.

I agree with you that this is an excellent site for those that like amateur softcore photographic content.
A plethora ( wonderful word that! ;0) ) of different models with a regular updates as older material is moved across from their other sites.
Great value for those that haven't been members of ATKs other sites.
If you have been a long term member of any of their sites though, you do eventually keep coming accross deja vu. ;0)
It does take a long time to reach that point though.
