why is everyone picking on poor scooter. he has every right to be pissed and every right to voice his opinion, even if you or I do not agree with it.

The fact is that this premium stuff has been a disaster. Videobox should have never gotten into bed with the big studios. There are so many smaller, sexier, indie studios that videobox could add to its regular lineup.

I for one am seriously considering canceling my membership because of this.

Josh…you sounds like a typical big business spin doctor. instead of sticking to your supposed mission, you are selling out at the behest of the larger companies and then charging us and prorating us and maginalizing the original site.

You should not be looking in the direction of vivid, etc.

go the other route….smaller independent studios who focus on niches…i.e. cuckolding, humiliation, rimming, alt porn, punk girls, real lesbians, goth girls, prostate milking, etc. etc. etc.

there is so much out there you could use from small independent companies. but instead you choose the two biggest sellouts in the inductry and expect us to pay triple what we are already paying for a couple hundred dvds. That’s just bad business man.

Thanks for the blog post explaining things. Very nice to see the transparency.

My biggest beef with the new content was Vivid was more or less implied to be a regular studio for VB. That was all part of the 6000th dvd thing. Sure going back and reading everything like a lawyer it is apparent you gave your self an out. Too everyone who thinks Vivid sucks, two words. Kobe Tai.

1. The content recently has been terrible. Terrible. Atrociously bad.

2. No video should ever be posted without the names of all the actors in the scene. No, not asking for real names, but consistently spelled acting names. Go back and fill-in the missing names.

3. No more videos with bad lighting or bad/missing audio. Go back and fix videos that do not meet a minimum standard.

4. Why are there no actress names listed with less than ten videos? Shouldn’t we be able to search for an actress with just a few videos and high popularity?

What is the difficulty that you are having with Epoch.com and billing through them? why are prices not available?why wasn’t this information provided to us before the changes were made? i feel these are all perfectly sensible questions that have not been answered to my knowledge by the staff at VB.
as you can see by the responses many people like myself that have been primarily complimentary towards VB,are now being highly critical.
and one last thing to Killjoy you do not have the right to suppress my right to speak my mind on this blog without your insulting remarks. i think with a little introspection you will see that you were the one instigating.if you don’t like what i have to say then don’t read my post.

And it still does NOT work. Does this damn upgrade work for anybody ? Ridiculous. Instead of fighting with each other we should focus on the crap update.

Killjoy:

first of all i started nothing with you. you are the one that mocked my post and not vice versa.
second of all you are not qualified to determine if i am crazy or not crazy.
all i did was to state what i did not like about the changes. if you have read more of my post to the blogs i tend to be more complimentary than critical. And what is the boundary between and normal who really knows ? who is to say i am crazy or you are normal? these terms are relative and frequently judgmental. in your case i think you made the remarks to me in a judgmental way. you do noot know me and have never met me or talked to me,so Dr. Killjoy it is absolutely amazing that you can make such a diagnosis. if i have anyone else that needs any medical advice i willl certainly refer them to you.
And in my previous post i was not intending any harm but imitating Clint Eastwood. i wish you no harm in any way. i was purely toying with you for telling me to get it together.
so find someone else to fight with. our flame war is officially over

Thanks for the transparency guys! Doing a great job of making it feel like Videobox is just as much Our site as it is Yours. I like the new additions and I trust that your will continue to take care of us! Thanks
