Twink Popstars could have been pretty swank, and it shares networks space with some good products, but the site itself just isn't updated enough.
Network hub layout makes it easy to get around to the bonus sites, good navigation
Video quality is very low, no updates
Twink Popstars Ratings
Content Quantity: 8/20
When I see something advertised as HD all over the tour, I'm expecting at least HD size, if not HD bitrate - Twink Popstars provided neither.
Content Quality: 12/20
With only 58 sets and no sign of updates, this is not looking good as far as quantity goes
Updates: 0/10
This site has not updated since the day it went live - doubtful that it ever will
Exclusivity: 10/10
The content appears to be exclusive to Twink Popstars
Features & Extras: 8/10
The extras are great - you get 18 bonus sites, 80 dvds to keep you busy
Navigation, Design: 8/10
I loved the navigation as well as the design here.
Speed: 8/10
the speed was below average at 400 kbps.
Value: 6/10
Although the network is a nice added value type of deal, it doesn't have enough twink content to make you happy if you came here to see sexy slender boys getting pounded.

Full Twink Popstars Review
Twink Popstars takes the age old scenario of getting aspiring actors, singers, and other talented folk into an audition - and then tricking them into taking cock for the camera. Although the guys are all twinks, they have a pretty big age range while still gunning for the slender and sexy looks. Every single one of them gets a big dick shoved down his throat, and before he can recover from that, he's bent over and given a dose of the old flesh sword. If they get past this audition, they can get through anything!
When you login you land on a network hub - Twink Popstars is part of the Pride Vault network, and you'll be presented with all of the network sites right off the bat. Just scroll on down to get to Twink Popstars - we'll take a look at the other sites later.
The first thing that I noticed is that Twink Popstars had all of it's content added in October - and there has been nothing since then. That's rather disappointing right off the bat, especially with only 58 episodes. The main problem I had with the videos is that they all take place in one of three different sets, so it does end up getting somewhat repetitive as you make your way through the content. Now that's not to say that the twinks that come in are boring - the guys are great between the way they take cock and the wide variety of twinks that find their way in - but on the other hand, they're all getting fucked by the same dude, and some of them are not even close to being twinks.
Twink Popstars is a video only site, and each video page has a streaming video, and two sections for high quality videos and low quality videos.

Both kinds can be downloaded as full videos or clips, and come in AVI for the high quality and WMV for the low. I did have one major issue with the video download page, and that would be if I tried to do something on the page before the streaming video was done loading (it's auto play, so you can't avoid it). If I clicked around on anything before either waiting or clicking stop on my browser in both firefox and internet explorer, it would lock up the browser on me. I don't recall this ever happening on their sites prior to this, so hopefully it's just a temporary hiccup, but it did make things rather frustrating for me. Other Pride Vault sites use Flash for their streaming, but Twink Popstars does not, so that does appear to be the root of the issue.
I was expecting super high quality videos with the way Twink Popstars bandied about the HD phrasing on their tour, and I was sorely disappointed in them here. The videos are only 640x480, which is about half of what I was expecting, and the bit rate seemed rather low as well. Needless to say this doesn't make for a video that meets average expectations, let alone HD. There is, however, no DRM, and the videos last for around 15 - 20 minutes on average.
The rest of the network has a variety of gay niches, and ranges from your typical DVD download site to other twink themed sites - they are all gay or bi niches, though, so this isn't a bad deal if you're into a variety of gay porn.

As I mentioned earlier, the network hub gets you to all of the network sites without a hassle, and you also get a page of full length gay DVDs for bonus. This particular area just pulls from a big list of DVDs and randomizes them when you click on the page, so you might want to make sure to watch any when you see them, the first time you see them on that page.
On its own, Twink Popstars is not something that I would really get into. Between the set repeats, the lower than expected quality video, and the fact that it just doesn't update, it has more than enough issues to want me to keep away. However, the network access is pretty nice, so if you see enough in their bonus sites to keep you interested away from Twink Popstars, you might want to give it a whirl.
