I've got a few, but why not make this a general suggest list -- and response from the moderators / sysops / owners.

First some really good things. I love the look and feel of the site. Excellent left menu, always available. Easy to navigate. The price comparison feature, not only singly but also for baskets, is top notch. The information seems amazingly accurate. It's quick, usually. The forum is good -- needs more traffic, but it's very good. Good bulletin board architecture / program. Great to have porn stars participate regularly, and a good group. Really good friendly feel. Interviews, chats, and links are great. A friendly, informative place.

What could be improved?

The searching function. It's already pretty good. But it could be better. Maybe without TOO much difficulty.

1) The search of review text is very weak. It's and "OR" search, returning a review as a linkable hit if any of the words you type in appears. That's way too over broad and makes it impossible to do focused searches. It should allow either AND searches or OR searches at a minimum. Better would be to also allow phrase searching, say by using quotes. It should default to AND searching for people who don't know the difference or can't be bothered. That's the web search convention. That's what most expect.

2) Better yet would be to have two rather than one box for word searches, and allow BOTH to be filled in, in addition to highlighting from the Genre and /or Studio list. The first box would allow you to specify by bullet clicking one of three: title or reviewer (as now) or instead actor. The next box would allow searches of review text -- done the way I suggested above, at least allowing AND type word searches, and hopefully also phrase searches.

Yes, I know you can search by actress or actor now, but you can't do that together with a search of a phrase or a group of words in a review. For example, say I want to find Rocco Siffredi movies in which Sylvia Saint also appears. I'd like to click actor in the first box and fill in Rocco Siffredi, and then click review text in the next box and fill in the phrase "Sylvia Saint". Or at least effectively Sylvia AND Saint. (Not Sylvia OR Saint.) There's no way to do that now..

3) When you use search to retrieve a list of reviews by different reviews (say by searching on a title fragment or a word in the reviews), and you then go to sort by review rating, that often doesn't work. If often stays apparently a random list. The sort options would be much more useful if they worked reliably when a list of reviews by different reviewers comes up.

Well, that's it for now.
