You've seen our reviews of a few sites in this network already, and now we're looking at the whole shebang - and what a shebang it is. Even the name of The Stall gives a good feeling of what kind of gross stuff you'll see inside. They have niches ranging from bukkake to glory holes, and interracial threesomes to porn theater sluts (and a lot in between such as whores addicted to crack). The price is definitely right at $20 a month, so you can't complain much about that.
They have one main member's landing page, which I prefer, and let you browse the sites without entering your password a dozen times. That alone is worth the price of admission, because I hate entering my login info over and over and over, for something that is supposedly a cohesive network of sites. The main page isn't the best looking web page I've ever seen before, but it contains all the necessary info such as links to the site, and a network-wide update page that makes finding new content easier. The one problem I've really seen a lot of so far is an incredibly slow server, with even thumbnail images taking a minute or two to load on a page.
I wouldn't call their sites extreme, but they do cater to a more hardcore crowd. The sites themselves have a very amateur look to them, which means lots of text and not a lot of graphics. I'd say right off the bat they could make their sites look a whole lot better with some redesigns.
A couple of the sites seem to use screen caps as their photo content, which usually means they have matching videos so I don't mind as much. For the others that use actual photographs, they are usually quite tiny. The norm I was seeing was 480x360, which is just very small in today's world. They all have an amateur feel to them, much as the sites themselves do (am I detecting a pattern here?).
Videos seem to always come in Windows Media format, and usually have the option of viewing clips of a full-video download. Quality seems to be pretty consistent as well at 250kbps or so on the 320x240 clips. They again look a bit amateur, and have some small problems with picture quality and such. They get the job done, though, as you can see lots of hardcore action all around.
While the sites themselves are pretty basic when it comes to technicality, I think the main draw here is the content they have. There's a few semi-normal sites here (with single women who just like to fuck), but the original series they have are pretty unique. There's a lot I'd change, but for those of you who are looking for something a little different it might be a good choice. I don't think I'd stick around forever unless quite a bit changed, but it's good for at least a laugh and a jack or two if you ask me.

Well things look pretty similar around these parts. Thankfully the exception to that is in terms of growth. They have more sites than they did last time which is always a good thing to see, and the sites they already had look larger as a whole which is also a good thing. There were some quality bumps in a few places, but in the end they're still lagging a bit behind today's newer sites. I still like the crazy niches they dive into at times, and it's not too bad of a join here if any of them fit the bill for you.
Score increased from 73.9 to 75.0.
