I wanted to ask is there anywhere that list all the scenes the female proformers have done for websites? I know alot of the pornstars do it and it would be nice if there was a place to check out who did what and for what website.
I doubt it. There are a lot of paysites out there and some people run multiple sites. It is entirely possible that a porn star doesn't know which specific site the scene is for.

Thank you very much! That site is awesome! And just what i was looking for! I knew there had to be a site like that out there somewhere and glad i finally found it.
If you think multiple names and aliases are a problem with porn movies (and they are), Internet sites take this to a new level of frustration.
The basic reason is, that most Internet sites want you to believe that you are receiving "exclusive" content/performers only available on their sites. The easiest way to do this is to give the girl a different name.
Now, whereas the IAFD is able to look at and track most porn movies, because the information is openly available (usually available for "free"), Internet sites charge for access to their content. IMHO, this will thwart any efforts to track Internet content in any comprehensive way (at least in a single database).
Now, even if someone finds a way to track Internet content in a financially viable way, will they be able to reconcile the many AKAs that a given performer will often be presented as (remember, the websites themselves have a vested interest in you believing their performers and content are "exclusive")?
It will be interesting to see how this develops over time.
Great work by the person who created this but obviously he needs more input from fans like us so it can be as great as the IAFD. I will start with the sites listed under Trina Michaels.

I really think that site is put together well! I hope that people like you will go there and add your knowledge there and make that site as great as IAFD!
Wouldnt it be good if Iafd could use the info in this database so it ould be easier to find everything a girl has done in one place.

I agree that is a good idea! You like to look up a female proformer and know all the scenes that have done and not just the ones from the movies they do.Some of the best scenes i have seen from a proformer is from websites they have worked for! I have many in my collection!

That is a good question and i would like to know the answer to that myself! I wish more sites would put the scenes out on DVD. I would hope a webite would archive it and not after some period of time dump it.
The person who runs that site may in the future want to make the info in some kind of list and not have it linked to the sites the scenes are from.
Most of them remove older content after a while because of the lack of space while some create an impressive archive which dates many years ago. Some sites actually create a seperate paysite for an archive like ATK for example.

This brings up another related, though not quite on-topic question: What is the "ethical" thing to do when a monthly pay-site becomes dead? By "dead" I mean the owner knows that there will be no more updates or new material.
Do you:
Existing Members ================= 1. Inform members and continue to bill them for a "closeout" period of time, and then stop.
2. Say nothing to members, just keep billing them.
3. Inform members and then charge them a one-time, non-recurring fee that will give them access to the site forever unti it shut downs or changes hands.
Prospective Members ====================
1. Mention nothing to prospective memebers about the status of the site. Simply advertise the regular monthly fees. NOTE: This may seem unethical, but if the site in question has a HUGE load of content, it may not be that bad.
2. Let propsective memebers know that the site is no longer updating and charge a slighty higher, but non-recurring "lifetime access" fee.
3. Mention nothing about the site stopping updates, but include memberships to other "network" sites for free as part of the monthly fee deal. This gives the customer access to more content, perhaps lessening the dissapointment he feels when he learns the original site is "Dead".
I always try to find an update list on the site I want to join so I can know how often they update and when the latest update was. I do join "dead" sites only to get the content they already have on their site. I was very sad seeing Zenaida Flava doesn't update her site anymore.
Tritone: I don't see what's wrong with informing prospective new members that the site no longer updates, but emphasize how much old content they still have up, and still charge the same monthly charge. Why would you even want a lifetime membership to a site that no longer updates? Just join, get everything you want, and cancel. But if a site was up and regularly updated for, say, 2 years, it ought to take a month to look through it all. Even if it was a site that only updated once a week, that would still be 104 updates in 2 years.
