  Design definitely needs work.

Holy upsell banners, Batman! They're all over the place! Logging in to the member's area, you're taken to a page with four small links to their sites surrounded by four larger banners for other sites. Upon entering any of their sites, you'll see a very basic page with mostly text links and banners for other sites. Their sites are plastered with big, blinking ads for other sites. It's so distracting and really pretty annoying. I was shocked that the member's areas looked this bad considering how nice the tour looks.

  There are no browse tools.

Getting around the network is not easy. The central network page doesn't list anything helpful, like which site was last updated or a network-wide search. The individual sites don't even have searches. The sites generally list their content in the order they were added with no additional options. Galleries are sometimes just listed as "Gallery 237" with no thumbnail and no title! It's a poorly organized collection.

  Segment updates = long waits for complete scenes!

Though updates come often enough, each update includes only one part of a video. It may take weeks or even months for a complete video to be added because they jump around and are updating multiple videos at once. For instance, Waiting To Be Thrashed was started on July 1. A new segment was added July 11th and 20th, August 6th, and September 14th. It's been two months and the video is not yet complete! I don't have that kind of patience.

  Photo quality not as good.

The quality of the photos wasn't anywhere near that of the videos. It's not the size that's a concern, because they're certainly big at 1928x1298, they just look really amateur. There are lighting issues, sometimes scenes are a bit blurry, and sometimes photos are included that just look awkward and shouldn't have been included in the gallery. A lot of the photo content is just vidcaps. Overall, this is a site that seems more geared towards video fans.

Minor Negatives:

• There are no scene descriptions and no model biographies. They don't provide members with much info on any of their content.
• There are not enough options for viewing the videos. They play in one format in one quality setting. The only choice you get is that after all the clips are added for a scene, they give you a full-length file. That's still not enough, in my opinion.
• Membership is expensive $36 a month is definitely on the high side, even for a network with niche content like this.
