I'm finding that: adultdvdtalk.com and iafd.com are my two "go-to" porn sites for news, reference info, etc ...
My fave site used to be rec.arts.movies.erotica - but I never visit there now. Too much spam. I also use excalibur's porn star mall, from time to time.
What are some other "essential" sites ??? Please name as many as you want- I'm always on the lookout.
If you are talking about info website, the 2 you mention are probably the best for that, but if you talk in general i think http://straight.theater.moviemonster.com/dispatcher/frontDoor?locale=en&theaterId=20977 is one nice place. You can see what you want and basically pay for that you want, it can also be some kind of "checking before buying" to be sure you don't make a mistake.

Besides DVDtalk, I visit Freeones and Machomedia frequently: to look out for teaserclips and 'BTS' photos of europorn (not directly video-release related)resp..
Sometimes handy when trying to get names and faces sorted out. iafd.com is adding more photos now, so searchextreme is not quite as useful as it once was, but still worth mentioning.
The IAFD is now up to 3,098 headshots (as of Sunday, 5/21/06 5 PM EST)
And they're part of the most extensive porn database available on the Internet The only thing better would be Walter Burns talking off the top of his head without notes But, fortunately, Walter "works" for us. MUWAHAHAHA.
Sources I use to compare, assist and corroborate the IAFD work I do -- in addition to original sources, model sites and manufacturer's sites -- include:
EuroBabeIndex (indispensable for Euro chicks) Search Extreme (another good source for names with pics) Jaded Video (great source for front & back boxcovers) Freeones (good free portal to sites offering free sample pics)
Adult DVD Talk "ADT" (I live here... a true porn community) AVN (every once in a while)
For information: adultdvdtalk eurobabetalk eurobabeindex egafd iafd
For movies: xrentdvd erodvd.nl erosdvd.it orgazmik adultdvdempire fivestardvd
For pics: freeones

Some of the Wikipedia sites are pretty good. They provide access/links to a lot of information (which you can update if you find an error!). The following is just one example:
In addition to what Bob said, I often find the "star" resources quite enlightening when searching out titles (and confirming them by looking at the cover, if not viewing said title on video) like Adult CD Movies and Adult DVD Empire quite useful.
I also use Sporty One for info (which has in the past been faulted), FreeOnes, and Search Extreme.
The biggest problem with Wikipedia is that ANYONE can edit them. A useful resource, sure...but it's info carries no credit worthy source, just a bunch of bantering & info, often presented by excessively salivating fanboys in this hobby (which is quite scary to read SOME of the info shown on that site).
Wikipedia can be a two-edged sword. Especially when it comes to porn people. They do have people who moderate entries, particularly info regarding porn stars. I've noticed on some porn star entries incorrect info that has been allowed while mods will delete correct or new info. Wiki..... has it's pros & cons IMHO.
I been going to Photo Search to get pictures and use as a jumping off place to explore other adult sites. It kind of kinky and addicting so I limit my self to a time limit a hour at a time!
But I just put in keywords to do search on. Have not try the categories at all! Just funnier to do searches and see the results that show up!
Don't know if something like The Whole Earth Catalog or Amok Books Catalog exists for porn, but the sites that for me are "essential" have this kind of holistic, "mondo porn" approach...in the sense that they reveal to my eyes the limits of porn as we know it...
I am referring to a half-dozen p2p & usenet sites - I hope I don't cause a problem by saying this.
Aside from the copyright issue, what these sites offer - and this is what I embrace about them - is a wiki-type nexus where hundreds of porn viewers with diverse tastes weekly queue up to tell the world what kind of shit they're into. If anybody jacked off to it, it's there.
If it weren't for p2p & usenet I never would've discovered beautifulagony, sapphicerotica, ishotmyself, abbywinters, japanese porn, etc.

BSD mentioned Excalibur Films. Part of their website is Adult-Pornstar-Mall which is a good source of information about actresses and older, hard-to-find films. Hardware mentioned EGAFD which is Euro Girl Adult Film Database and there is a similar one--BGAFD which is British Girl Adult Film Database. I use Jaded Video for links, simply because their boxcovers are the largest and you don't have to register and log in to see the back cover. On occasion, they have a review of the film which is a great idea. Which Porn Star is part of Euro Babe Index and it's a great place to find websites with photos or film clips of which porn star you seek.
I don't download porn anymore, so I don't pay for adult websites. If I ever subscribed to one it'd bet to Adriana Sage's website. I don't know if it's any good, but I like her.
I'll go to freeones.com if I need to see a picture of a pornstar. Or just google it. Lately though, freeones has a lot of crap. I searched for Mimi Miyago and all the galleries are the same pretty much.
I also visit evilangel.com weekly. I like their posters they sell. More studios should sell them :)
My friend and I love evilangel.com because of the trailers. I avoid all other producers sites because the box covers are way too small and the trailers are small and ugly. Don't they know that trailers for all movies equals more money for them? I rarely buy a movie if it doesn't have a good movie trailer or a decent box cover. That's of course unless it has someone I REALLY like in it.
I only buy Evil Angel and Platinum-X titles though. Sometimes Red Light stuff is ok. I normally avoid Anabolic/Diabolic like the plague.
I also visit Av-Megastore every week. They sell Japanese porn from Japan. It's http://www.xxxdvd.co.jp/home.htm
DMM at dmm.co.jp is a good reference site too. I use that a couple times a week.
I only use the forums on this site. I haven't used anything else. Maybe once or twice.
Are any porn star websites any good? (As opposed to porn company or general porn websites.) I've joined two for two stars I really enjoy. One was okay, but the most recent one I joined was poor value.
I expected by joining a pornstar's website, you'd get a chance to correspond with the pornstar, see material of an ilk and exclusivity unmatched on the 'net, and have regular (weekly or fortnightly) updates, with surprises galore. Hopefully some 'porn stars at home' material.
These days, stars are quick to point out their website addresses. Sophia Lynn and Casey Parker are two newbies who come to mind as having pointed to their websites, which should be online soon. No doubt websites are a good revenue spinner for them. However, are any of them close to good value for fans, especially considering you can score a solid scene of any given porn star on DVD for less than the standard monthly website membership? Or even decent value compared to other websites around?
No doubt there are some quality porn websites around, but I'll be damned if any of these are personal porn star paysites. Sasha Grey's Myspace is the best I can see, and you know what? It's free to browse, and hella interesting.
Interested to hear from anyone who is a member of a pornstar paysite, and whether they actually are happy with that fact, and what they get for their money.
