Awesome! Usually special cards where more expensive (still not sure why - so I bought them when you could opt for X + last free) - now not only it's not more expensive, it's on sale! I didn't have to spent time deciding whether I should buy it. Thanks, Totem - nice present! :)

Oh my God, I just got a look at the png's of Dillion Harper's cards! Can I just pre-order all of them right now, please!

@Hombre - Almost certainly what happened in you post is that the terminating /bold tag (in square brackets) was lost from the text that you quoted. Click on "How to use this editor" at the bottom of the forum page if you do not know what I mean by the /bold tag.

@Hombre, I know caps is SHOUTING..not sure what speaking in bold is..probably talking loud.

@xerato iStripper legally is 'porn' however lots of people continue to enjoy Totem products well after any of them may have cum and thats rarely the case with mainstream porn. iStripper could have been a failure if @Team weren't magicians in bringing out the best in the personalities of the girls and it shows.

@Pop: From Wikipedia...

Defining erotic art is difficult since perceptions of both what is erotic and what is art fluctuate. A sculpture of a phallus in some African cultures may be considered a traditional symbol of potency though not overtly erotic.

In addition, a distinction is often made between erotic art and pornography (which also depicts scenes of love-making and is intended to evoke erotic arousal, but is not usually considered art). The distinction may lie in intent and message; erotic art would be items intended as pieces of art, encapturing formal elements of art, and drawing on other historical artworks. Pornography may also use these tools, but is primarily intended to arouse one sexually. Nevertheless, these elements of distinction are highly subjective.

For instance, Justice Potter Stewart of the Supreme Court of the United States, in attempting to explain "hard-core" pornography, or what is obscene, famously wrote, "I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced ... ut I know it when I see it.

Not agreeing or disagreeing with you here. I do agree tho that it is highly subjective :)

Edit: No idea why the last bits came out in BOLD. I didn't do it! Honestly! :/

Re: Why people object to changes

Unless a change represents an immediate improvement and an immediate reduction in effort many people will object. Once someone establishes a fixed way of doing something they will object to a need to change that method even if it promises long-term benefits. If a capability that was useful is lost even if there is another way to achieve the same result, there will be objections. This is human nature.

I think iStripper continues to improve, but there are some capabilities that are important to me that I've lost and would like to see restored.

Thanks from me as well

Thanks Totem :D

Thanks Totem.

I get where Totem are coming from. They are selling variety NEW faces NEW talent because thats what market wants.
Holding unbought cards and waiting to make collections of maybe's or waiting for just one model to complete playlists by members does not turn over sales.
Since VG the navigation of the software to get the show you want once you are used to ***** cards/clips etc ~ has improved outstandingly imho. It gets better & easier the more you use it. Old VG users who won't buy probably need a single step by step tutorial on navigation tricks .

Edit:
Just a few thoughts on what Totem found with the freeloaders.

Possible reasons peeps don't buy ANY cards:
1. ~ Only looking for something for nothing
2. ~ From countries where payment is denied or difficult
3. ~ don't want others (banks/wives etc) to see they are paying for
4. ~ peeps who could not/will not, get a real credit payment account

and

Possible reasons peeps don't buy ANY except 1 card:
How many of these are from..

1. ~ got a free card in earlier versions ?
2. ~ used a fake or stolen credit card to commence ?
3. ~ wanted bank statement to show just one small payment and no more.

There are obvious means to vet these by checking histories
but Totem needs to show large member numbers as a sales incentive & for p2p.
Disincentivising the dead wood who sit only on demos could convert to sales
but to be realistic, the numbers involved should exclude peeps who cannot buy cards.
With other software, trial versions have expiry dates to filter this. No buy ~ no show

What an amazing card for her return debut.
This Estonika BMV performance is better than ever !!!

So cool!

i got it as soon as i seen her i have all of her cards

Yes it and what a good card of Estonika.

I dont know if im just a simple user but when i read all these "complaints" it feels like so many is making it waaaay more difficult for themselves then it needs to be...

To begin with i dont think i will ever understand why so many is so against changes and when things gets a fresh up and in my opinion all that have happened with this product involving the change to iStripper is if you ask me a great change and i have been a member since 2012 so i used VG for quite awhile myself.

Im sorry but i just cant see the "issues" that so many seem to have around the previews changes.

So just to add some positivity in all this id just like to say that all of you working over att Totem are doing a fantastic job and i really hope that you keep this up!! Dont give up on us!! :)

Hi @volkan80
Yes there is way !

Go to settings > Advanced settings > CLIPS > Free preview Push > Never

Cheers :)

is there anyway to disable auto download previews here ?

@Birger52 You can preview the cards and then to mark them click on Whishlist.
I don't get what's not working with that, please explain in more details :)
Are you saying you'd like a new filter to see the ones that have been previewed at least once?

@Dunkelskog

(maybe I'll spend the money on milk)

It really annoys me when people call erotic art "porn"...so annoying! Erotic art is not "porn"...it is erotic art!

Estonika, our sweet Valentine ❤️

I was not expecting this, thank you Totem :)

Estonika (she deserves it)

@Nikotem,

Great news! Thanks.

Thank you Totem, Estonika is so sexy and sensual for this particular day. She's the best one to be our Valentine ❤️

Special offer! For Valentine's day, get Estonika's full show with a -14% discount !!
This offer will end on Wednesday 11.29 pm GMT+1
Enjoy

It's rare for me to buy every show of a model these days, but I have all of Tania"s. Would like to see her again! A show with sound would be awesome, even if it's not XXX.

When I saw Genevieve Ghandi, I thought "Could it be my beloved Devine? Finally coming back to the fold?" No. It's not. But she's quite a good stunt double... :)

Hello, will there be any skin for Valentines day, like it was for Halloween and Christmas? :)

Thank you so much!
Have a nice day!

@frenchkiss8 Hi, do you mean a model in your collection or a preview ? Please clarify

@Rex
Dividing around 1500 cards into 2 piles (Not on wishlist or on wishlist) is stille a lot of cards in each pile.
Having 4 piles, makes for fewer cards in each pile. (not marked, preview, wishlist and wishlist+preview)
But you are taking away 2 of those options/piles.

Yes, we can preview as many cards as we like, but can only keep the mark for 7 cards.
So we need a way to mark the cards that has been previewed.
A way to give it our own evaluation; is it a must have or a can do without -card.
Without it, I will need to preview my way through all 1500 cards I have not already bought (or at least the 200+ on my wishist), to decide which one is the next to buy. I can not afford to buy on impulse, so I need to know, my investment is the best possible...
That the preview of a given card may or may not start immediately, when played, is not useful.

My 2 cents about sales...
Today, as I saw the Valentine Day card I bought it at once, because it was discounted.
I think that, if all new cards would have a discount lasting for the release day only, we would buy far more of them.

We've decided to still remaster some older card (720 > 1080 & 1080 > 3K). I've posted a dedicated thread few weeks ago with wishlists. We will start by the most popular cards. They will be available to download by packages (instead of one by one). It's a very long process that takes time. 1080>3K remastered cards will be more numerous first than 720>1080. Keep in mind that, as already said, 720 cards can't get a 3K definition as they were not shot in this def.

We'll provide a delete button in the Preview section in the next release.
You can deactivate Free Previews by right clicking on the model when they show up on your desktop and click on the "Enable/Disable" icon.

Not being able to disable Free Preview is an issue that will be fixed in the next release.

Yes Free Previews are our advertising for new girls, the thing is when you accumulate them, they become a substitute for real content. It happened with free loaders, building entire collections of Free Preview, it happened with paying members who as soon as iStripper was released started to collect Free Previews instead of buying Full Shows.

You're only limited to 7 Free Previews at a time on your screen, but there is no limit to how many previews you can watch. Any preview you downloaded in the past should still be on your hard drive, so clicking on download preview (which will be instant) and play preview will bring her back (come on, that's two instant clicks instead of one). If you're using Free Previews to see the girl's move when considering buying her Full Show, I don't see where the problem is. If you were pilling up Free Previews as free content, then yes, it is restrictive. If you were using Free Preview as your wish list, we added a WhishList function for it now.

When we released iStripper, our spirit was to give complete freedom to users with Free Previews. It backlashed hard on our sales and we tried to find the least restrictive way to fix it. As I said above, we're going to experiment with promotions in the Free Preview tabs soon, and that's one key point in the fairness of the whole change.

I watch less porn nowdays not just because of istripper but I just can't be bother with much of the hardcore stuff, there is a few exceptions of course - If like if Sapphira were to....you know what I mean (fantasy) but she is unlikely to and I wouldn't like to see her go the way of a lot of hardcore stuff! (A lot is just a put off for me and boring!) I just like looking at the beautiful women pranking/dancing around in sexy gear! istripper girls is a good distraction far better and even healthier in my book than the other harder stuff! (I am relitive new here to istripper because of the other stuff is so so! Glad I found a more classy site.) Now as Popeved said (and I agree) the key is everything in moderation! Xerato keep getting those better vibes :) Cheers

I have the New Version and I dont see an option to delete a Model...

@wuzthis
Yeah, I dont think you got a single paragraph of my post.....

Just add 50 free previews per user level. Problem solved, free loaders go home and the paying customers live happily ever after...

Bonjour encore une nouvelle version qui enlève les bonnes fonctions de l'ancienne à savoir la supression des démos quand elle ne nous plaisent pas.
C'est quand bien chiant à la fin.

I can have girls stripping all day on my second monitor, it's good company. Some models can be VERY distracting though :p but it would be weird having hardcore porn there all day, even softcore solos would be off.

Add 7 more of your choice might work :)

@Wyldanimal

When I downloaded the last release, I set previews to "never", but the software (how fast!) had already downloaded two previews.
As usually when I buy a show, I opened the "Models" folder and after selecting all demo files (*.demo) I deleted them manually.
But the image of the downloaded previews remained in the "previews" section, as you can see in attached scan.
Is there a way to remove them permanently?
Thank you!

BJlover

"While I'm here, I have another complaint. I never knew after you disabled clips in the clips tab that you could right click on the trashcan in the details tab and delete the disabled clips. Why is this option not available in the clips tab?"

Holy *****, I never knew you could do this. Dayum nice catch.

@Dunkelskog
"REX already told us that there are 100,000's of Free users just downloading and watching previews.
And that iStripper can't stay in business to pay bandwidth for all the Free Users."
^ http://www.istripper.com/forum#/forum/thread/35636/last#post524750

" I understand everyone wants free unlimited access to everything, but there was a lot of ***** with the free previews [..] and we’ve been saying for months we’d eventually have to limit it."
" As I said above, since we switched from VirtuaGirl [..] to iStripper [..] we saw hundred thousands of accounts with thousands of free demos a not a single sale, thousands of platinum+ accounts now only collecting previews and over 80% of new users converting far less than before just because they had to actively seek girls to see new previews."

Not all 'paying customers' are currently paying customers, as Rex basically explained.

@Dunkleskog
"Thats like running a tv network and blocking your customers from watching the commercials. The full shows are already paid for and you gain nothing more when theyre being watched, but the previews are basically free advertising; and effective advertising too."

Poor comparison. Like, really poor considering that most commericals are annoying, obnoxious, and very in your face (like me, right now) and commercials have very little in common with iStripper's advertising because of it's method of implementation. Am I going to go further into the details? No.

I really fail to see why you'd ever want to limit previews from your paying customers. Thats like running a tv network and blocking your customers from watching the commercials. The full shows are already paid for and you gain nothing more when theyre being watched, but the previews are basically free advertising; and effective advertising too. I can guarantee you I would by more milk in the supermarket if the milk would occasionally flash its panties at me!

Now, I can understand that you want to put a limit on freeloaders that never buy anything, so let the amount of free previews be a function of how many cards you own. I like to keep a ratio of about 2:1 on previews vs full shows having a nice mix of new cards and 'will buy soon' cards mixed with the full shows. I can guarantee that with the current limit of 7 previews I will be buying a lot less in the future (maybe I'll spend the money on milk)
