I was a member way back when they were new never have joined. I have never been overly impressed by the reviews here and at TBP to join. Seems at 9.95 VB is a better deal ?maybe I am off the mark.

REPLY TO #1 - Cybertoad :
Hard for me to say since I don't have a VB sub to compare. If they carry the SD stuff BangBros put on dvd, it might actually be better if its not in their remastered section which may be re-encodes from dvds themselves. The HD/widescreen stuff probably better off BB, but can't compare. Depends what their source would be. Their HD stuff brief time I was there looked like BR encodes or upscales.

I think you summed up this network best when you wrote that members "have to walk on eggshells virtually across a site to avoid hidden charges or scared of later billing issues." I rejoined last weekend after I swore I never would. I went to the site and literally stared at the page for about two or three minutes until I could figure out where it was likely safe to click. I don't mind up-sells and ads, but when they're this underhanded about billing for them there is no excuse for that. I also made a promise to myself that I'd never pour myself a drink and sit down to view this site - I want all my brain cells firing to avoid a mess here.
They're an excellent site otherwise. It baffles me that they'd want to screw over customers like they do.

I suffered their nasty practices myself. Seems like some cookie retained my credit card info, and upon entering a site, just clicking on an image would suscribe me to it, WITHOUT ASKING FIRST.
Even worse, there are clones, and you can get suscribed to both clones.
Even worse, depending on how you got there, you'll have also a different route out of the whole mess. Each clone can have its own way.
I got the content I wanted, managed to cancel with pain and efforts, and when surfing for porn I immediately close any page that reminds me of Bangbros -just in case.
Compare this with Reality Kings. Looks like they also have some cookie, because they offer me resuscribing to its sites when I enter any of them. But they offer a limited preview, and do not suscribe you without asking you first -so far, at least...

Just thought I'd chime in with my impressions. I've been a member of this site for over a month and haven't had any shady billing issues yet. Like people have said, they do some tricky things to make you think you have access to things you don't, but if you're careful and only click on things that are part of the "BangBros Pack" then you should be fine. It is frustrating though.
The main "HOME" page of the members area is full of sites you don't have access to, but it's displayed in a way that could trick you into thinking you have access to those sites. At the top of this "HOME" page it says: "Your Library - Listing of the products you have access to", but you don't actually have access to most of these sites unless you pay another $19.95. When they say "Listing of the products you have access to", they don't actually mean these sites are part of your current membership, they mean you can get access these sites if you pay more. This wording is somewhat deceptive, but problems can be avoided if you are careful and have read the warnings in the comments and reviews here on The Best Porn.
Rather than just take you to the area where you actually have true access (such as the "BANGBROS" tab or "ALL WEBSITES" tab at the top of the site), they start you out in an area full of sites that you don't have access to yet. However, the thumbnails for these sites have small lettering under the image that says "get full access for $19.95", so there is at least something there to indicate that you don't have access yet...but if you don't pay attention, I can see how you'd think you had access to one of these upsell sites.
Basically all you need to know is - when you enter the members area, go to the top and click on the "ALL WEBSITES" tab - this will take you to the sites that you actually have access to with your current membership. This is the area that should be the "HOME" page, not the area they have now.
Also, when you watching streaming videos, there will be thumbnails for other videos along the side that might be for sites you don't currently have access to. Or when you click on a certain girl's profile, it will show all of her videos - but there may be videos mixed in there that are on sites you don't have access to. So you have to be aware of the sites that are part of your "BangBros Pack" and make sure to only click on those videos. I haven't clicked on the wrong video yet, so I can't confirm if you are automatically billed for sites just by clicking on the video.
