Those are harsh words and pretty way off target since I just logged in myself and there are five new movies uploaded on todays date.
You might want to wait at least a full day or more before posting this kind of comment.

I've found VB a little unstable for the past couple of days. It seems to take pages long to load. I've also had links die on me which I've never seen with VB. But I wouldn't go so far as to denigrate the whole site for a couple of technical glitches. I'm sure they get any problems fixed soon.

I understand your hope that "I'm sure they get any problems fixed soon."
I have been saying that to myself for the last 4-5 months.

Why wait a full day? The VB3 portion of the site just doesn't work. They have loaded it up with lots of fancy options, which if they worked, would be great. But these options add a lot of overhead to the system which can't be supported by the current infrastructure. So the site is a POS. I can go into the VB3 portion of the site in mid-morning and the updates are missing and the site in so slow that it logs you out before a page can load. If I switch to VB2 the updates are there and the pages load very quickly. Maybe you should spend some time on the site and think about what is going on before you post in haste. I am a long term member of VB who has seen both the quality of the movies and the site infrastructure go to hell in the last couple of years.

If you can't see that your comment was super negative for a site you claim to have been a member for many months then the only thing I can say is that you should cancel your membership right away and never return to this site.
I've had issue with quite a few sites over the years and these are normally technical glitches that happen to most popular sites. The problem usualy gets taken care of within 1-2 days and I'm back to downloading porn from these sites.

I have been a member since 2005 and never experienced any technical problems, just content issues.
I tried logging in this morning and got an offer to join. I thought maybe by 1 year membership had expired but I have another 5 months left.
Based on these comments I think I'll just sit back and wait a few days to see if things get better.

If there's one thing I've learned from joining sites for the past 3 or 4 years, it's that you should probably give them more than a day to fix things, because some sites just don't work that fast.

Your comment, and that of Pat 362 seem like you are trying to be helpful, and I appreciate that if that is you attention. I have been into both pay and free websites for over 10 years, and a VB member for almost 3 years. I know the good ones from the bad, in terms of quality, quantity, navigation, search, formats and other options.
What I am saying about VB is that the site has deteriorated the last few months; not just a couple of glitches occasionally. The site freezes up at least once a day for at least a few minutes. Some days pages take so long to load that I get logged out for inactivity before the scene aver appears. Their are numerous faulty movies with no sound, no picture, they just stop in the middle of the scene and never finish, or they won't play at all. Onsite comments from other viewers confirm that these problems are no unique to me, my browser or settings.. And, for the third time this week, the daily updates have not been posted to VB3, but appear on VB2. I should add that almost all of my complaints and observations are limited to VB3. It should be considered a beta version at best, even though it has been their main feature for over a year. They need to fix all of the software features and add server capacity instead of rolling out new features every few months that are both bug-prone and further burden an over taxed system.

Not to state the obvious, but why not just use VB2 then? I haven't been a member here in a while, but I never used VB3 because I can't stand it, as long as 2 is availble (and apparently more functional) why not just use it?

I don't really see a problem with posting a comment like this before waiting a few days, people do this here all the time with respect to login issues, download speeds, and other technical issues. Clearly he has had some issues with the site over time, and he should feel free to voice his opinion, may be useful to fellow PUs.

It's not the posting that was the issue but the vocabulary that was used. The title of the thread is "A New Low". How exactly would a site being down be a new low? If he had just posted a comment asking other members to see if they had isse with VB3 or VB2 then I wouldn have been glad to check and confirm whether I saw the same problem but that's not what he did. He pretty much slammed what is essentially one of the highest rated sites on the net.
I welcome comments with important news because these can sometime be more up to date than any review but the comment must be constructive or it's only a bitch fest. I think if you want to bicth about something than use the forum. You can put a lot more info and it's more appropriate than the comment section.

I should probably point out that the problems I had (they seem to be fixed now) seemed to be mostly associated with VB3 and the add-on channels that require VB3.
And I sure agree with you on the content issues. I stand by my position that VB could improve by offering one or two good updates per day rather than five crappy ones. And the constant use of repackaged and reposted scenes in a major annoyance. The only good news is that the other users will usually point out a repost.

I understand what you are saying, I just don't think this type of reaction due to frustration is all that uncommon. I agree it gives a negative spin on his feelings of VB, but he is free to give whatever spin he pleases. I guess I just don't see a problem with it. I agree VB is one of the highest rated sites, but personally I think it is also highly overrated. Bitching in the forum may be prudent, but these are also threads that quickly disappear which some users may never notice or know to look for.
I see plenty of negative opinions in comment titles over the past few months, why can't he post the same? In what way is his sentiment (VB3 blows, which I strongly agree with) not valuable information for casual users looking for site reviews? What if the current workaround of using VB2 goes away? Sorry for carrying on this debate, it just seemed like you sort of jumped on the guy.

I think there is something wrong with posting a very negative comment
on the same day that it's happening because the comment will stay there for a long time and may have only been an issue on the day that it was posted.
I'd also like to add that nowhere did the poster write that his issue was with VB3 and not VB2. He wrote that part in a subsequent reply. Now it's quite possible that someone reading the negative comment will read all the replies and then see that it as to do with VB3 but then again maybe they will only read the comment and assume that it applies to VB as a whole.
Don't worry about debating with me. I like to debate.

It certainly would have been good for him to mention his complaint was about VB3 in the comment, as this is certainly the basis of his complaint, but I have seen many people post comments that are quite negative, as well as reviews that are quite negative. Isn't this the point in having a review site, so that people can posts their opinions of sites. I would be intersted to see mike's scores of VB, I like to read negative reviews and comments, even of sites I enjoy, as it helps me see other folks perspective.

I agree with you that mikes review of VB would definetely be worth reading. He's been a member for 3 years so he must be a huge fan of the site. At best, I only visit the site a couple of times year a year.
