Concept: Fantastic, Britsh girls of all falvours. Top marks.
Design: Great. Great looking site.
Functionality: CRAP. Movies are split up into between 6-16 parts & zipped. Why are they zipped there is virtually no compression? Onemanbanned.tv, purecheek & Jim Slip offer bigger movie files and easier download options.
Also the movies are too small - 70-100MB. Most movies sites worth their salt are around 250MB for a 20 min scene.
The photo galleries are too fidgety having to click thru each photo one by one or download a zip file - what's wrong with the old tried and tested thumbnail gallery?
The girls are fantastic. I came 'no pun intended' for the black girls and was not disappointed. Chrissy and even Lexi have appeared in US vids and been around a while but Marissa Brown and particulary Tiara are UNREAL
That Tiara girl is a real star. I can't wait to see more content of her. I like the way the scene was shot - ina no nonsense American gonzo style. Brief interview, little dance and down to the fucking.
Best line on the site:
Cameraman: 'Why are you here'
Tiara: 'To get fucked, innit'
Excellent job well done guys but really you need to get with the programme - particualry with the way the movies are configured or at least make them bigger and better quality. It was the same movie site up on pornostaticxxx.com which is why I left after a month...
But I think this site is the future so will hang around for a while

thanks for the review, I too am dubious about joining with the re-accuring charge, and think I will wait for the DVD's.

Yep, my conclusion was that I'd get the better quality movies by buying the DVDs. Like I said it's a good site but with great concept & girls but the movie quality is just not what I'd expect these days.
Another thing is that some of these scenes were definitely on
www.pornostaticxxx.com when that site came out last year (and quickly ran out of steam/scenes)...
And the 'urban' background music is a wee bit jarring, but doesn't really interfere too much...
It's hard to criticise because a lot of hard work has obviously gone into this site and it's the type of site I've been looking for for years...actually i'd like to see a British version of
www.exploitedblackteens.com (it's over 18, dont panic - actually some of the chicks on there are late 20s)
That would be the lick!

Hi Pornosseur
Very interesting review mate and well appreciated.
At we intend to be here for the long run so any constructive analysis like this is very welcome.
On the issue of movie, well thats a great point and one that I personally pained over for a while. We have initially decided to go the chosen route simply to give dial-up and download consumers a reasonable download time.
However I agree with you completely and will be talikng to the webmaster about the possiblilty of a very large full movie download option.
We are really proud of our video content and we at Pornostatic have come a long since our Experience Anjali and Urban Flavas projects. We made the mistake then of allowing editing through a third party and now I do it all myself.
SO you can be assured mate that the videos will available soon in a big format without cut as well as the current function that will suit the dial-up/zip download consumer.
Many thanks again for joining up

Top man.
I think that's the most positive response I could have ever hoped for. And I gotta respect the fact you thought to cater for the 56k massive. Still, us broadband users need to get some love too!
I suppose you can do worse than listen to your paying fans and I guess that means I gotta renew my membership until the big movies come along!
And by the way you have every right to be proud, very proud of what you have achieved. Just keep getting those new black and 'urban' girls and you'll go from strength to strength.

Welcome to the family of "Up All Nighters" editing vids... Ain't it a pain in the arse... I do my editing between 1 - 4 am when there's nothing else to do
By the way have you dealt with the prob I pointed out to Anjali while you were away.. That site still has quite a few galleries with your stuff.. They got rid of mine pronto

Hi Pornosseur,
I've read your comments with interest and spoken to DiSanto regarding this matter.
Firstly, thankyou for your appraisal. You certainly seem to speak from experience and it's always refreshing to recieve objective feedback, positive and negative.
Secondly, I built this site to be extremely dynamic. In other words, it's able to adapt to user requirements almost as fast as they arrive, providing of course they are realistic. This feature is essential to help keep users satisfied and it's something I diligently try to maintain.
When you refer to the functionality being crap, I'm sure you mean the video and photo options currently available could be improved.
So, when you revisit Hardcorehoneyz, please note the following changes:
1) Single videos may now be downloaded in their original format, rather than being zipped. I'd been meaning to change this anyway, but thanks for the reminder.
2) As well as being able to download single videos, those users with faster connections may download entire videosets as one complete zip file. This must be zipped to aviod users having to download single videos.
Regarding the photo galleries. If you expand the window, you'll notice a long scrollable list of thumbnails on the right hand side. This enables the user to select a photo at random, or alternatively use the 'next' and 'previous' to navigate sequentially. Both forms of photo navigation have existed since the site went live. The initial window width is reduced because the site needs to facilitate users using a 800x600 screen resolution.
As for video size and length, I aggree that we could accomodate larger videos for users with high speed connections. DiSanto and I are currently discussing available options and will let you know a.s.a.p.
Thanks once again,
King Honeyz,

'When you refer to the functionality being crap, I'm sure you mean the video and photo options currently available could be improved.'
That was exactly what I meant.
It's good to see yourself, DiSanto and Pornostaticxxx reacting so positviely to the feedback. I visited the site this morning and you have made the change....thanks.
The site is great and you can all hold your heads up high. It's pleasing to the eye and certainly more than matches up to it's American counterparts.
Once again thanks for the hard work.
Hopefully, Don Roobles can keep digging up fresh black female talent.....
