Thanks for the review pat. I agree that the site needs some growth, especially at the price they're charging. When I joined I got a discount offer in the email but as I stated in an earlier forum thread I stopped getting those email offers from all Fame sites. Maybe they were losing money on me because I took them up on their offers so often... (I'm just kidding, because by using their offers I pretty much retained a recurring membership by cancelling and rejoining on a new discount offer almost immediately so all I was getting were the new updates.) They really need a discount. There was a lot of buzz about the site when it first came out but now that it has died down $30 for this volume of porn isn't a good deal no matter how great the scenes are.

I would still have joined within a short amount of time even if I hadn't gotten the 15$ email offer but there was no way I was going to pass up the opportunity to see this site first hand with such a nice discount. I think they would be better served if they only dropped their join price to the more appealing 24.95$. I find the 29.95$ price is too reminiscent of all the scam and solo sites that charge that amount and never deliver on any decent content.
You drop the standard join price to 24.95$. This way you make it appear as though it's less than 25$(technically it is) and you then make a deal with TBP/PU to offer it's members the ability to join for 19.95$. Try this for a minimum of at least six to twelve months and if you don't see an increase in traffic and profits than go back to the old prices.
I would say the same thing if we were talking about bigger sites. I really enjoy Dog Fart because it's interracial porn and they do some really great scenes but I don't join as often I could because their join price is 29.05$. I usually re-join because I get an email offer. Otherwise I tend to join maybe once a year to the odd twice if they happen to have a model that I have to have.

Nice review again Pat and got me interested about the site but yeah mad I never got any email for $15 as been a member of fame sites a few times myself.
$30 for just one site is just at that point when I start comparing it with what you get for less at other sites and these days I tend to not have so much money to be spending on porn sites so look for discounts. $19.99 would be a better price and I'm sure they would find they make more money. At the $19.99 point I tend to take a punt on a site, $30 has me thinking too much lol.

I agree with you on pricing. They need to make it more attractive and offering a discount for TBP/PU members would be a good start.
Of course for you, me and several others here, the shit-kicking that the Canadian dollar is taking these days adds to the price woes.

Although I agree 30$ is a high price. The one mitigating reason why I think they may be justified in asking for it is that they are the only other interracial site after Dog Farts. I don't know if they picked their price because DF also charges 30$ but DF has way more content so it's make sense to charge more while Blacked is still a very small site.
Let's hope you get a special offer because if you like artcore porn than you will really enjoy this site

Hi Pat,
Thank you for the very accurate review!
*We have sent some of the bug reports to the developers for investigation and hopefully those are cleared up very soon (new site design is on the way).
** There was a small programmatic error that caused a 1 in 4 day update that has since been corrected to 1 in 5 days. That is correct and will continue to be the schedule going forward.
In terms of pricing, $29.95 is simply more or less what it costs for us to put out a product of this quality. Yes there are sites out there with 'lower' prices or 'more' content (data), but when it comes to value BLACKED reinvests it back into the library. A regular scene is easily twice, if not three times (exclusives), the cost of an average scene put out by some of the competition.
There are definitely special deals out there (limited time, past member, etc.) but given the costs associated with being a small independent studio we cannot simply cut prices across the board without sacrificing what makes the site stand out: QUALITY.
Kind Regards,
Stanley W.

It was my pleasure. I try as much as possible to remove my personal feelings regarding a site when reviewing.(I don't always succeed). I have a couple of questions that I'm hoping you can answer.
Is the update schedule going to be 1 in 5 consecutive days or 1 in 5 business days? You can imagine the difference if it's the later as it would really mean four updates per month instead of 6 updates.
Are you guys planning on shooting mote anal? I know you have a decent number already and I am curious if this is still something you plan on shooting?
The 30$ is high when compared to other sites/networks but it is comparable to your closest competitor Dogfart. In fact Dogfart actually charges a little more but they also add more shoots per month than you do. The join price is not an issue for me as I have paid more to join other sites and will gladly join yours again when you have added more of the scenes I enjoy.
Thanks for making a great site and hopefully you are stull turning out great scenes a decade from now.

Hi Pat,
The update schedule will be 1 in 5 consecutive days or 6 updates on a 30 day month.
Anal scenes are still on the schedule, it all depends on the performers and we are always willing to film it if they are able to perform it.
Thanks for being a member and let us know if you have any more questions or requests.
Kind Regards,

EVENING Stan or Some Other Webmaster
First, your site looks really great! The ladies are extremely pretty and the interracial genre is an excellent choice sir/or madam. Furthermore, the video quality and theme of your clips is also outstanding- so superlative job on so many fronts; congrats!
Conversely, I have a few recommendations and comments which I hope you will take under consideration based on being a relatively new website and looking to expand your customer base. While I completely understand that I am only one individual and do not represent- per sea- and entire population of porn users, I felt compelled to share some of my comments. First, I hope you read them and secondly I hope I get some sort of response.
1) Where can I find your email? It's like trying to find a emerald stone in Saudi Arabia ...what's up with that? Nothing on your website
2) Keeping in mind the positive and well-deserved accolades outlined above, for the best of me WHY do the ladies discard their lingerie- specifically stockings- right during the intercourse phase of the videos?
3) Further emphasizing my point (YUP, I am a leg and foot guy and Yup this is an interracial site- I get it!!!!) would the "hard-core" customer base really NOT join your site because the ladies did NOT discard their stockings 3/4 into essentially EVERY freaking video? Hmmm....I can answer my own question... NOPE!!! SO....who was the genius that came up with this radical idea? Not rhetorical
4) What is HARD to find Stan the Man is an interracial site that incorporates YOUNG teenage girls wearing STOCKINGS THROUGHOUT an entire video shoot.......bare legged/high heeled/MLF-like chicks having sex with black men are a dime a dozen on the web, FYI.
In closing, and while very tempted, I have NOT joined your website for reasons #2 through #4. When I preview your outstanding videos I wait for the stocking discarding phase- which I know is sadly coming-and always say NO THANKS. Which brings me to this question: would you folks at "Blacked.com" consider having the ladies REMAIN in stockings throughout the video shoot for future videos? Any kind of reply OR providing me an email so we can further communicate on this very topic/concept would be greatly appreciated. Kindest Regards, Joshua
