KarupsPC.com is truly an amateur mega-site. Dubbed KarupsPC, short for Karup's Private Collection, quantity and quality merge here to create one of the largest databases of primarily original amateur porn on the net. Karup has been sharing his collection of cuties for over 5 years, and in that time he has amassed a huge amount of photos. Though this is my first time inside the member's area, I've heard a lot about this site and am curious to see what's inside.
There are a few ways to browse the pictures here. First you can browse by collection. The collections are basically categories of albums. The largest collection by far is the first which includes Amateurs, Models and Teens. Other collections include Exotics, Matures, BJs, Guy-Girl, Girl-Girl and a few others. They really have most of the bases covered. Next you can browse using the model index. All of the women are listed alphabetically with headshots. Finally there is a search feature for the models names. I really like having all these different options! However, I don't care for the albums. They seem like an unnecessary middle step. Just show me the galleries! It's probably a silly complaint. After all, with this many galleries to keep organized I understand they're doing their best to keep things organized. Anyhow, all the design is exceedingly simple, and so is navigation which is a good thing.
The pictures themselves are quite good. It's difficult to tell how many of the models and galleries are exclusive, though they claim the majority are unique to Karup's. I only recognized a few of the galleries (the sprinkling of Matrix leased sets), but I did spot several familiar faces in the model index. The index is partially composed of the Euro babes you might see on some of the DDF sites. The rest of the girls are completely exclusive to Karups. Trust me, even if you recognize 50 girls (you won't) there are still hundreds more that you've never seen before. The model index is huge! The photo quality ranges a lot, but that is mainly because they still have pics up dating back to 1998. The older pictures are much smaller and grainer than the newer ones, which really pack a punch. The new sets are around 768x1152 and very clear. The pictures have an amateur feel to them but the quality is still quite good. No options for different sized images, but there are zip files. Probably around 65% of the galleries are softcore. The rest touch on different hardcore themes like anal, bjs, sex and threesomes. The variety here is very good. They add around 2,000 new pictures every week so you're sure to find something you like in this massive collection of hotties! And hotties they are. I didn't spot a single unattractive model on their list.
Karup's Private Collection also includes videos, though not quite as many as I expected. I counted around 130 videos here. The videos are in Windows Media format and the quality is pretty good. You can play them at 200% and they look really good. Full screen is just too choppy. Unfortunently, there aren't any viewing options at all. There are no choices for format or speed, and the clips are only available for download, not streaming. They take a few minutes to download so be prepared. All of the videos are hardcore. I really enjoyed them, I was just surprised at the limited collection considering the volume of pictures this site has. There are also video feeds from third party sites available. I counted 23 feeds. The Hustler feeds are definitely worth mentioning. Other names you'll recognize are SoCalStreams and Private Channels. Though there is no date available, there is a note saying that the feeds page was just revamped and it certainly feels very up to date.
I was fairly impressed with KarupsPC.com. Though initially the layout and design turned me off a bit, I really think the meat of the site, the pictures, brings this site head and shoulders above most other porn sites. They have quantity in the bag, and their more recent photosets really show steps toward an overall high quality website. I believe the price is quite fair, especially considering that around 2,000 new pictures are posted every week. I have to say this site is absolutely worth checking out for amateur fans.

Karup's just keeps getting bigger and bigger! With over one million photos, they're definitely one of our largest quality sites. I'm happy to report since our last visit that they've been working on bulking up the video collection which has almost doubled in size to over 215 movies. Certainly a site like this needs a strong collection of videos to go with the impressive number of photos and I'm glad to see it growing.
About the only thing that has changed is the content count which was impressive to begin with. The design could definitely use some updating but goodness knows how difficult it would be to redesign a site this large. Since our initial review they have even more of the higher quality pictures available which just makes this site a must-join, in my opinion, to all fans of sexy young amateurs.
Score decreased from 86.0 to 84.5.
