Upon first glance at the site, World Wide Wives (hopefully not too many of the wives are wide, though), it appears we have another picture submission site on our hands. I'm not usually a huge fan of these types, especially when you have to pay for them, but I'll give it a chance here. Their design isn't winning any points with me right off the bat - the bright yellow, purple, blue and red (with hints of green and orange) just don't quite go together in my opinion. Then I found out the site is $15 a month recurring, which isn't helping anything either. I know there's some free sites like this out there, and others charge a once a year thing.
Once inside, it looks much the same, but it's a bit confusing to figure out where you need to head exactly. They have a few headers of + (WWW PLUS it says), 2 (HARDCORE), .tv (VIDEO), W (WILLIES), and TWC (The Wives Club). Some are obvious with what they take you to, while the others baffle me. I hit the + link first, which took me to a picture archive that was a good start.
Here the site is setup much like any other site similar to this one you've seen. Divided up into days, you click text links to hit the gallery, which only contains 5-10 pics. The webmaster puts little comments by each one. Users can cast a vote, but not post any comments from what I saw, unless they're hiding in the generic chat board link I saw (which, it turns out they are, although it's a non-threaded board so you're reading messages left on ALL the galleries in one long thread). The other sections look identical, save for a few color differences.
All their content obviously varies wildly in quality. Some of it looks good, while others do not. It all depends on the person submitting it at the time. On the better side of things, I saw some photos at 800x600, but most come in a bit smaller than that. Quality is usually quite amateur, which is the name of the game here, so don't expect picture-perfect results. Only about one video gallery is posted each day, and usually from a smaller group of people - so I wouldn't say this is a very good choice for those of you into video content.
They have some extras including jokes, stories, the chat board (mentioned earlier), and a chatroom. Otherwise, they mostly deal with posting the new content each day that users submit. I'm not sure if they spread things out or not, but each day seems to have a pretty even amount as the day before. I didn't see a whole lot here that you couldn't find elsewhere out there to make it stand out from the rest, and the price of $15 a month seems a bit high to me for what you get. If you're a big fan, I guess you should take a look, but personally I don't think I'd stick around very long.

I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think the layout and design of the site may have been cleaned up a little bit. It's still bright, with purple and yellow dominating their color choices, and it's still confusing with a menu full of links I don't full understand, but I think it's better nonetheless. The content quantity seems to have continued to grow a bit which is always nice to see. Overall, the theme of the site is still quite similar, and it just doesn't do much for me personally. They do offer up quite a bit of true amateur content at a decent price, which might be just what some of you are looking for. For me, the format and style are overdone and I wouldn't stick around long.
Score decreased from 76.1 to 75.5.
