Perhaps the one biggest request I have gotten in the past few months from the myriad of mail that you Dear Readers has sent me is to request that I revisit the review of Girls Boarding School.  This of course is because they indeed have changed hands in the past year or so and quite honestly many of you expressed disappointment of one of the kings of Spanking Sites.  So today,  almost 2 years to the day since your humble narrator reviewed GBS we return to determine if Girls Boarding School is indeed the gem we found it.  

As I stated before the site has changed hands in the past year or so.  The date is hard to pin down since there were so many interim spankers on the site,  but your Humble Narrator guesses that it was at least before the first of the year.  This of course saddens me, Never again shall we hear the words of our tortured Tom “You Stupid Girrul”.  Never shall we revel in Tom’s frustration of girls who simply won’t follow the rules.  and even the lack of puniness brings a tear to Yours Truly eye.  The only happiness about this whole thing is the image of our poor frustrated Tom sipping a Mai Tai on a tropical island without a naughty schoolgirl in site. 

But Dear Reader unlike the Republicans in my fair country we cannot look to the past but embrace the future and Michael has taken over the reigns of Girls Boarding School.  A stern 30sh man whom I believe is Dutch (please feel free to correct me Dear Reader if this is not so).  Who brings his own flair to the spanking scene. 

Site offerings and Cost.
As in my original review this site is simply huge.  Even with the change of ownership all of the fantastic spanking that our long suffering Tom had created is of course still in place.  over 500 video’s in fact.  A impressive breadth of work for a lifetime of spanking.  For someone new to our little hobby this is truly a cornucopia of spanking history. 

Since of course we know excellence of GBS in regards to its historical material (if you wish to read about it you can find it here at my previous review of Girls Boarding school). Let us focus on the new material.  Previously though GBS we were treated to daily updates.  This sadly is no longer true.  It looks as if the site now offers update 2 to 3 times a week but that is to be expected with a change of hands while the new owner ramps up his production schedule.  While not optimal Your Humble Narrator understands the challenges of running a new site and will indeed give Michael a pass on this. 

Costs have risen slightly over the past 2 years.  Previously GBS’s month to month price was $29.99 per month at its most expensive.  The cost now runs at $34.95 which is not horrible considering the amount of material you have to access.  That cost drops to about $23 per month for a 3 month membership, $20 for a 6 month, and a measly $15 for a years subscription.  Furthermore you can also get access to GBS and 8 other sites for $99 though VIP Spanking

At the time of the last review the cost per hour was a ridiculously low 37 CENTS per spanking HOUR.  Since then they have almost doubled their video content and while the price has increased $5.00 The additional material more than makes up for the increase.  Without spending hours determining video length I can tell you Dear Reader that the price is much lower then 37 cents per hour (probably more like 20 cents per hour now).  When you get that low for fantastic material I would argue a few cents one way or another doesn’t make much of a difference. 

The Girls
While their spankings live on,  such mainstays of GBS are indeed in retirement.  Sophie, Jenny, Pony, Clare and Linda are all sadly gone.  Hopefully taught a lesson though their years at GBS and hopefully making some man very happy with their naughty antics.  But again let us not look to the past but to the future.  Right now It looks like our new Spanker Michael works with 4 models right now.  Molly a braided blonde with a knack for looking fantastic in a schoolgirl uniform, Simone a very unique looking (and young) naughty girl, Katherine, Carol who looks like she could be  Simone’s sister and of course the often naked Ellin.  All cute spankee’s in their own right.  But take not my word for it Dear Reader.  Look for yourself

Scenes, Film Quality, Outfits and of course the Spankings
We haven’t had enough time to see what scenes our new Spanker Michael seems to like.  For now it is indeed a nice mix of domestic and schoolgirl spankings. In addition there is a nice mix of implements and OTK hand spankings which of course makes your Humble Narrator quite happy.  Outfits of course mirror the spanking that are given.  I will say that Molly and Simone look fantastic in their schoolgirl garb and Elin with her long ponytail is a girl I would love to spank.  There also seems to be a healthy focus on Naked girls getting their spankings and while gorgeous girls in their birthday suits is always something I enjoy I find clothing (at least at first) enhances the spanking fantasy.  A spanked girl in a hot outfit and her panties down almost always trumps a naked girl in my book.  Feel free however to disagree.

Film quality is of course on par with most of the other sites out there.  GBS used to really push the envelope with regards to the quality, but unless GBS decides to go full High Definition there is little place to improve.  Normally I would of course be all for this but again I am going to give Michael the benefit of the doubt and let him concentrate on his content.  The quality is fine for now. 

Now many of you who wrote me felt that in regards to the spankings Girls Boarding school was going downhill.  I disagree,  and quite honestly I say give the guy a break!  For one trying to replace the venerable Headmaster Tom is akin to attempting to replace Elvis!  The man was a mainstay of hard spankings for years!  Michael has been running it for what, 6 months?  Give the man some time,  Rome was indeed not built in a day.

In the unlikely event that Michael or anyone that has been in touch with the powers that be at GBS I will however give them opinion on how to make their site better since the more spanking offerings out there,  the better it is for You Dear Reader.  First and foremost, I have noticed that they seem to like to shoot pictures but for whatever reason don’t offer the video.  This in Your Humble Narrator is a HUGE no no.  GBS has done this multiple times with what looks to be a excellent spanking of Molly and Simone.  In my experience it simply annoys customers.  If your going to post pictures,  make sure you have the video as well. 

Second,  well, SPANK HARDER,  Michaels spankings are quite respectable but he is indeed replacing an icon in the spanking world that has given us many of the hardest spankings seen on film.  If this was a startup spanking site his spankings might stand on its own,  but people will inevitably compare Michael with Tom,  and one must be prepared for that.  Watch some of Tom’s old video’s,  film a couple with your new girls (make sure they can take the spanking and if not find some other girls to work with). 

Third,  stop with the “Bonus video’s” from other sites.  or at least pare them down.  The past month they have shown two full video’s from Spanked at home,  which were indeed fantastic.  Unfortunately the material is better then what GBS has to offer right now which simply begs the question for the customer “why not join that other site” .  Do not get me wrong Dear Reader there is nothing wrong with showing other sites content as a promo (with their approval of course).  In fact I will probably start showing Spanked at Home again for that exact reason.  But it is not a replacement for exclusive spanking material.

All in all,  Is GBS as good as it was,  The answer is sadly no,  but I have not given up on it yet.  It HAS potential and I honestly want to see the new owner (or owners) succeed.  As I have said over the years,  the more spanking sites out there,  the better indeed for you Dear Reader,  and that is what The Spanking Spot is all about. 

Who will NOT like this site
If you have joined GBS in the past and expect the same,  I should probably say that you should think twice about it.  But the spankings offered in the new material are indeed up to snuff with regards to the rest of the spanking sites out there.  Michael and crew need to push it up a notch or two to stay competitive. 
Who will LOVE this site
I would recommend for the novice spanko just getting into spanking sites. They have a TON of material you can start your collection with.  The recent spankings are respectable,  but in order to continue the GBS reputation they need to get better pretty soon.  The jury is still out and and they are indeed in danger of becoming a run of the mill Spanking site sometime in the future.   I will indeed revisit GBS in some reasonable amount of time to see how they are doing. 

If Tom or any of the girls read this blog,  please please,  leave a comment (or email) to tell us what you are indeed doing.  We of course miss you and I would love to feature any of your new projects you might be working on. 

If your interested of course you can find this site at Girls Boarding School
