The downfall of Maxes is quite regrettable. There was a long time period when Maxes was the only agency I used, full stop! After some iffy experiences, I'm now hesitant to try any of the new girls.
That said, Maxes shouldn't be discounted completely. There are still some gems on there like Alice and Samantha. Or even Ashley, as long as you're willing to pay. But it's clear to me that Max has lost the plot a bit. He no longer has the ability to recruit new quality girls and some of his posts on the members forum really make me wonder about how he thinks about his paying customers. So it's not really surprising Maxes is what it is now.
Nowadays I think the only thing that maxes offers over other agencies is that you get to fuck the receptionists.
To be fair, the members forum also sets Maxes apart. But as I mentioned above, the forum perhaps also reveals why Maxes is in the state it's currently in.
