Need some clarification on a couple things

erniescar69

So my annual sub is due for renewal in a couple of days and I would like some clarification on a few things before I decide to renew.

#1 - I have looked around the new site and I am not impressed by the small screenshots and lack of contact sheets. I rely on contact sheets to help me choose which scenes I want. Are there plans to implement contact sheets on the new site?

#2 - When will the new site be ready for prime time and go live for everyone?

I have had annual subs for probably 6-8 years now. I have watched DL's go from unlimited to 30/144hrs and now to 30/week. And now DoubleVR stated in another topic that new subs will be capped at 15 DL's per month.
#3 - If I do decide to renew my annual sub will my DL's remain the same at 30/week?
#4 - If I decide not to renew right now and then came back in the future. Does the 15 DL cap apply to all new subs?
#5 - Will I be limited to 15 DL's per month even on a new annual sub?

erniescar69 Appreciate you being with us for years. Here’s where we are:

We’re rolling the new site out in stages (performance, UI polish, catalog tooling). Full switch-over will be announced publicly - goal is smooth, not rushed.

If you renew your annual, your existing 30/week download allowance remains.
If a sub lapses and you come back later, you’ll join under the current plan at that time. New plans going forward are expected at around 15 downloads/month, including up to 3 master files and AV1. Updated PPV unlocks unlimited downloads for purchased scenes along with masters, AV1, and AI scripts where available.

Long-term recurring users may be eligible for higher allowances over time.

Tightened new-plan downloads targets short term hit-and-run users. Bear with us as loyal recurring users enjoy all the benefits of SLR including higher download limits.

We also plan to get SLR Miles in place to further appreciate your loyalty.

doublevr Tightened new-plan downloads targets short term hit-and-run users.

Wouldn't the vast majority of your "short term hit and run users" be on monthly subs? I'm sorry but I fail to see how penalizing users who want an annual sub targets short term hit and run users?

I will also say that if I do decide not to renew the new download restrictions on new subs will mean that I won't be back in the future. I'm old school, and I DL probably 5-7 scenes per week on average so the 15 per month restriction is a total non-starter for me, and even though I never hit the weekly cap I wouldn't want that limit reduced any further. I'm not happy seeing the DL limit reduced year after year after year but the current 30/7 really should be the bottom imho. And that kind of brings me to another question though I know you can't really provide an answer. Where will the DL cap be in 6 months? Or 9 months? Will it continue to slowly be reduced? I keep thinking that I'll renew my sub and in a few months the DL cap will be dropped once again even lower for all current and existing subs.

Also, you didn't provide an answer to question #1. What about contact sheets on the new site? Will they implemented or will they disappear for good once the new site is rolled out?

Thanks

doublevr I would like also clarification on these subjects and especially regarding the original files from SLR.

I have a yearly subscription that's ending next month and I'm here especially for the original files of SLR videos that arent available through streaming. Will these be available through streaming?

If not, the limit up to 3 downloads of originals files is only for SLR videos or for all videos?
