I'm not going to offer my own answer until a few of you have had your say. Maybe we can prevent others from throwing away their money.

I've never been ripped off by a membership site. I always go with reputable sites like HardX, Evil Angel, or JJV. And I always make sure that I read everything before I click "Yes" for a charge. Pre-checked cross-promotion boxes are a lousy practice, but they're easy enough to avoid if you know what you are looking for.

What about content? Did you feel the content was bad?

Not a bad thread.
Clubfilly.
None of the dvds from their series Mommy And Me and Seduced By Mommy are on the site. Though they advertise it as such.
This is same site/network ElegantAngel is a part of.

Problem with JJV is that you will go there looking for content, but some of his directors (Alexander Devoe, Chris Streams, Erik Everhard) have made deals with other companies and you won't find it there.
JJV has great content, but the way they do things is crap.

^ I think that's more on the individual directors than on Jules. Some of them didn't want to have their content distributed on his website for whatever reason. I agree though, it would be nice to have all JJV content on a single site.
Not in general. I had an issue with Elegant Angel regarding their content a while back. I tried to download a 1080p version of Rebeca Linares and Tori Black's threesome from Tori Black Is Pretty Filthy and the tease footage of the two of them on the beach was completely excised. This, despite the fact that the screenshots on the scene's page clearly showed the tease footage in the scene. I brought it to the attention of their customer service and was assured that the matter would be brought to the attention of the webmaster and that they would get back to me in a few days. A week passes and nothing. Contact them again and they have no record of my complaint. This goes on for months and nothing was ever done about it. Either upload the video with the tease or change the scene page screenshots to reflect the scene as currently uploaded. Should not have been that hard. But other than that example of rank incompetence, I haven't had any real issues with any other sites.

Oh, and JJV has butchered their entire back catalog by altering the aspect ratio on older scenes. They regard this as converting them to HD. What a travesty.

I signed up to Reality Kings once, and they charged my CC six times for that one fee. The CC company called us telling us about the fraudulent charges. Reality Kings denied it again and again. The CC ended up resolving it with them and removing the charges, but they essentially told us on the phone afterwards that this was some shady shit and not to trust them. I am now really cautious. Maybe I'm silly for thinking a big company like that wouldn't do such a thing.

^ Well, their parent company does make millions off illegal piracy so it's not surprising to me they would pull some shady shit like that.

My thing is nice and long penetration shots. I had joined Nubiles about six months ago and was disappointed. Not a whole lot of hole but lots and lots of face. I can see faces anywhere. But I pay for pussy penetration that is clear and well lit, labia around cock. Nubiles just generally wasn't worth it for me. But if you like face porn, they might be for you. Brazzers was better. But only at the ends of their films. PornPros has gotten a clue about lighting and penetration. They were worth the price. I like Reality Kings but too much lesbian. VIP room is great sometimes and almost all lesbian at other times, which I don't care for personally. I think I might join Team Skeet next. Any experiences with them?

Definitely Club Filly. I got a year membership because of all the Jenna Sativa scenes that were showing up on the site plus some of their back catalog of scenes with Shyla Jennings, Karlie Montana, Lily Carter, etc. The Mommy and Me, Seduced by Mommy and Lesbian Family Affair DVD were on the site until Dec 2015. Then they were removed and the site went without updates for several weeks because the latest versions of the above DVDs came out but were not put on the site. Really disappointed with them.
I had a membership with Team Skeet. All the new girls shoot with them several times while they do the Florida circuit. The scenarios/tease can be hot. Male talent is the guys you see at Bang Bros and Reality Kings (the Florida studs - JMac, Tyler Steel, Bruno, Peter Green, etc.). They update with a scene a day. You can find really cheap discounts for the site by typing in Team Skeet Discount into a search engine. Pretty fast download speeds.

I will say this about Brazzers. It has an index of male performers, which I really liked. I don't like it when male performers are hidden. And they really made an effort to find out what I think. That surprised and pleased me. They do care about their customers and that's something I haven't seen much of before. It makes me think I should go back. Maybe in a couple months.

And now Blacked/Tushy have charged my CC multiple times. I am cancelling my subscription today. This is getting really fucking annoying.

I was a member of Onion Booty back in the day. The samples were high quality, but the actual videos available were pixelated enough for me to think that I had been cheated.

Have you been able to resolve this issue yet? This caught my attention because, like you, I took advantage of the Valentine's Day discount offer that was available for both sites last week, although I went with Tushy instead of Blacked. Who was the billing processor for your transaction? I think that the billing processor would be the one at fault in this case, not the website (Blacked).

^ Kind of but I am left very dissatisfied. Segpay is the processor. I subscribed tand both Tushy and Blacked. I emailed segpay and they didn't explain anything. They simply cancelled my subscriptions. I have emailed them twice since then asking why they charged me six times, and have received nothing in response. How the hell am I supposed to subscribe to a porn site if they rip me off every time? I have cancelled two cc this year because of this nonsense.

Videobox a little different kinda of ripoff
Videobox has hand down the worst quality videos on the net a lot of the hd videos are 540p videos that are stretched to 1080p fail or videos that have the lines on it make it look like a out focus vhs.

^ I've noticed a lot of porn fans nowadays saying they can't watch sub-HD. SD has never been a problem for me, personally. It's not that I wouldn't wanna watch HD but who has the storage for thousands of HD videos? If my collection was all in HD it boggles my mind to think how much storage I'd need. However you slice it, Videobox is an absolute bargain.

I totally don't get the people who have to always have their porn in super HD. I'm a member of VIDEOBOX and have no problem with their movies. The price for the amount of porn you get is a bargain. Plus keep in mind that much of VB's library is composed older content that wasn't shot in HD originally. I watch VB on my flat screen and I think most of it looks fine. The old classic stuff sometimes looks blurry but I'd rather have a blurry version than no version at all. But that's me...I'm not so picky.

It is not one site but multiple that do this like Bangbros and Naughty America to name a couple. Their sites have cross sale landmines and if you click on the wrong link your credit card gets charged within seconds. It happened at Bangbros on every models page they include videos to sites that are not a part of your membership. Also each time you log in before you can go to their site you have to click no to a cross sale. I went to Lexi Belle's model page and right next to her Bangbus video there is a MYGF video. I accidentally clicked on the MYGF video and got charged a subscription for MYGF.
It is just terrible companies do these tricks to cheat the people who pay for their videos out of money.

^ It's certainly paranoia-inducing. Last time I signed up to a site I must've re-read the payment info four times before committing. I always use a pre-paid credit card but even so, I find myself wondering what happens should I be inadvertently charged for something without sufficient funds on the card. I assume the transaction is simply declined?

^ & ^^
This is what is so fucking ridiculous about the porn industry today, instead of listening to their customers they are ripping us off WTF??
Bangbros used to tell you you have to upgrade to access, now they just sting you!
I read in Mason director thread that she used to have an opt-out other shitty site inclusion when you buy membership!?!?! One of the oldest Internet porn scams their is!...
I remember when I first got Internet with a 28.8 modem and a site needed your credit card to prove age to access and you would not be charged, well of course.. bang.. two charges, so off you go to find the link and everything is dead, took me a while to finally track down an email address, and then spent an entire evening in front of the TV copying and pasting my refund demand across three browsers, they must have awoken to over a thousand emails hahaha!
I got my money back :)
If those two aren't examples that instead of ripping us off they need to listen to us, then we will buy more, I don't know what the fuck is?

XOnAir, post mortem, once they went out of business, weeks later, maybe some months, I received a desperate call from fucking VISA itself, some douchebag over in Memphis or something tried to take my money away by ordering stuff for the total amount of 1000 $. I never lose the money but I lost my credit card and got it replaced. Same shit happened to the DVD delivery, shit got replaced.
