  Content quality was average.

I wasn't too impressed with how the photos or videos looked. I take that back, the pictures do look good, but they're much, much too small. 774x518 is not even close to big enough. 600x800 is bare ass minimum for an amateur site. These pictures need to be bigger.

As for the videos, they really looked average. They play at 1000k and are 640x352 in size (again, too small). Compared to other amateur sites, these videos are fine. There's some graininess at times but nothing awful. They just didn't stand out as "great" to me either.

  Network navigation could be improved.

First off, I had to enter my password and username too many times. First to get in the network, then to get into the individual sites, and then again to download the scenes. That got annoying really fast. Second, there were no network-wide search or browse tools. You have to view the network update log on the individual sites. It's not nearly as user-friendly as it should be.

Minor Negatives:

• No additional download options for the videos. All of the scenes download as full-length files in Windows Media. There are no clips options or other formats or quality settings. It's a pretty basic offering.
• No zip downloads for photos. Additionally, many of the photos are loaded in a script so you can't even right-click and save them that way either.
• Downloads came really slowly. That was partly because of restrictions on the download manager speed, and partly just because they were slow!!
• As is almost always the case with a network, not all of the sites are updating regularly. There are a few sites that are updating infrequently and a few that aren't updating at all.
• Membership is expensive. It'll cost you $35 a month to be a member here. While you do get access to many sites for that price, it's still on the high side.
