Hi Mike
was going to e-mail you this, but seeing as the debate has opened here...
- Content excellent - UKSH is a great series and should have such a web presence
- was going to raise the "interlaced line effect" issue but seems to have been covered a lot better by someone else above (who clearly knows a lot more about the tech issues than I!)
- Would agree to keep clips WMV so you can have a quick preview before deciding whether to d/l
- IMHO, you can only really aim at the broadband end of the market with video d/l sites (look at the success of Adultbouncer)
My only real issue with the site is in terms of layout. Rather than grouping the clips by "activity", to me it would make more sense to group by scene. E.g., if you look round the various sections you can piece together practically a complete Karina Currie scene, but with the current layout you have to dig round for them. To me, would make more sense to lay them out by scene, have preview pics of different bits of the scene (ideally ones that show who's in it) and a text description - actresses, what they're doing etc. You might want to have a look round some of the preview pages at as a good example of this sort of layout.
In this way, you would also be able to indicate updates easier by the simple expedient of putting most recently uploaded scenes at the top of the page with an upload date (again, instead of having to root round for them - we are lazy buggers after all!).
Good site of an excellent series, though. All credit to you for opening it up to the critical glare of the BGAFD forumites.
Hope you find this useful
