Everyone chillax a bit. 
It looks like the backend is having some issues tonight. I'm sure it will all be back up and running within a few hours, if not sooner.
You can check your connection to the backend with this link: https://tracker.gaytorrent.ru/stmdd/ Once you get a good response from that you should find things start working again.
God, I couldn't agree more!
There's a series of uploads on here titled <country> Twinks and Amateurs <month>" and it drives me up the wall. There are occasionally some OK files in them, but whoever is putting them together is padding them with several GBs of "Extras" which are normally just poor quality rips of full films already on the site.
It's not an isolated case either. I downloaded an OF rip that contained multiple duplicates and endless 3-second long clips of someone brushing their teeth.
I loved this site a few years ago, but the overall standard of uploads is becoming shocking. People reupload huge collections of files, perhaps adding a couple of pictures just to change the overall size of the download and it gets accepted. Proper titles, descriptions and pictures are a thing of the past, and the system actively encourage people to upload fake pics to other people's torrents with the promise of extra seedpoints.
There's good stuff here, and I don't have any intention of turning my back on the site, but I wish somebody could find a way of actively improving things, because I can guarantee I'll never donate while things remain the way they are.
How many times are you going to post about this crap. This is the third or fourth thread you've started to voice your resentment of being "lumped in" with trans people. Nobody is lumping you in with trans people. The trans people had a meeting and they don't want you. Get over your own bigotry and/or insecurities, live your own damn life and shut up about it because we don't care!!!
@rashoo I think we might need just a little bit more information....
@lololulu19 said in DMCA strikes and the 90-day suspension:
Uploading porn does not violate copyright law since porn cannot be copyrighted because it is considered obscene.
Repeating this ad nauseum does little to change anyone's mind. As I've pointed out on several occasions in the past you seem to be under the impression that something you've read online somewhere applies globally. Even if porn couldn't be copyrighted wherever you are, that does not mean that anything in other parts of the world.
@john32123666 When someone has read the rules and simply forgotten something I can forgive that. When someone hasn't read the rules thoroughly enough to know them properly, I can sort of forgive that. (There are quite a lot of them and it's not an easy read..)
But when someone clearly knows the rules and chooses to ignore them then they're just asking for it. Any torrent site is only as good as its uploads, and it seems to be worse now than it was a few years ago. People are getting lazy, and have no interest in quality uploads. They just want the ratio.
Let's hope that the mods have "explained" the rules to him.
@lololulu19 said in Straight or Gay?:
who is exclusively a bottom for females pegging him
I genuinely can't believe I have to explain this, but what people do or don't do on camera for money does not necessarily reflect their personal preferences or sexual orientation.
From the sheer number of posts you've made along these lines I don't think it's unreasonable to suspect that you have may have fantasies that lean deep into "straight buy does gay stuff" territory. If so there's nothing wrong with that, but I don't think you really need us to validate that fantasy for you. Believe whatever you want to believe about porn actors, because at the end of the day all of it is really just fantasy. That's the whole point of it. I think you're overthinking it. Imagine someone is straight or gay if you like and just enjoy it for what it is, a performance.
@lololulu19 said in DMCA strikes and the 90-day suspension:
To the people who actually believe that gay porn has legitimate copyrights, I suggest you leave this site..
Thank you. Your suggestion has been considered and thrown in the bin. The reciprocal of your idea also applies if you feel like taking that option.
@lololulu19 said in DMCA strikes and the 90-day suspension:
At the entrances to shops that sell porn, they have signs up saying that there is no admittance for anybody who is a member of law enforcement.
Gotta say, I've never seen that in the UK. Or Amsterdam. Or Prague. Or Spain. Or Germany. Guess they'd better all close up shop in case Buford T Justice happens to drive past while he's chasing The Bandit. 
As has been said many times before, this site is not a democracy. The site owner gets to decide what happens on here. If they choose to comply with DMCA, most likely having sought legal guidance on the issue from a professional and not someone with a tinfoil hat on, then that is up to them.
We, the members, do not own the site. We are not responsible for it. The site goes to great lengths to protect its members' anonymity. The owners do not have that protection, so they can do what they like as far as I'm concerned.
As I said, even if there is some bizarre law or statute wherever you are, that has limitations. Porn can be and is copyrighted in many countries, and that copyright is applied to all signatories of the Berne Convention, including the US.
A (fairly long!) article on porn copyright on Lexology reads:
"Similarly, a French court[28] recently held[29] that copyright will not be denied to pornographic work only because of its genre and that the choices governing the design can be considered as original for copyright purposes. In the Australian case Venus Adult Shops,[30] dealing with copyright infringement of pornographic films, the Federal Court held that there is no statutory basis in the Copyright Act 1968 to refuse copyright on the grounds of content or offensive subject-matter of the work in question."
Regarding the UK it goes on to state:
"It is therefore reasserted that copyright law should acknowledge automatic and content-neutral creation of copyright for all works satisfying the legal requirements of copyrightability, including those at the verge of illegality (such as pornography), since the societal value judgments, including morality and public interest, are constantly developing in time and space; and that correspondingly, copyright should serve its "expressive value for society"[39] by promoting free expression or challenging these value judgments."
Now please do tell us all how your US-centric ideas trump the laws of other countries.
Not here for a fight, but just want to point out that "this will happen eventually if we don't change by 2023" means something very different to "this will happen in 2023" Reading the post properly shows that she said we had 5 years to change course, not that we will all die in fire and brimstone in 5 years. The article even says "an article predicting humans would go extinct by 2023" which any rational person would realise is different to what she was saying. Lazy journalism trying to sensationalise something by misinterpreting it.
FWIW, I don't think anybody has any real clue as to when the planet will (or did) reach the tipping point.
In all seriousness, how valuable is your time?
I can sift through an entire day's worth of uploads to the site in about 5 minutes, and when I do I'm able to filter stuff out things I don't want pretty easily without needing to have my hand held. Are we to also add categories for JFF, Cam4, F4F....?
If a torrent is well-presented with a good description and pics you know what you're getting yourself into. The ones that aren't well-presented I don't download. As you've said yourself in previous posts, OF content is by-and-large utter rubbish. You pays yer money, you takes yer chances. Except here it's all free. All you need to do is take a few seconds to decide if something is worth downloading. If you don't have time to do that then you can't possibly have time to watch any of it.
@nancledra53 The page address in the browser will end with ".....page=1" Just change the 1 to another number. Can't give you a rough number as it will depend what categories you're viewing and how many uploads there have been, but you should be able to bracket the time range in 4 or 5 tries.
@MrMazda Thank you so much! I get that in theory all uploads are to be appreciated, but it's wonderful to hear you confirm that this is one person simply spamming the same crap over and over again as he seems to be doing on multiple[le sites. I do find myself wondering about his motivation though, as his uploads are so small that they carry little to no benefit in terms of upload credit.
This one seems to have started doing the rounds now too. Seen it a couple of time in the last day or 2.

Quick test at my end looks like the support page is working. You need to make sure you've chosen a category in the top box though or it will stay greyed out.
@ytutambien You did download the torrent from the site rather than just use the local copy that you uploaded, right?
Or maybe we try looking at the most basic parts before jumping into trying new software or getting a VPN.
@bodyworship8 Start at the most simple question: Are there any leechers showing at all? If so, how many are there compared to the number of seeders? It's all well and good trying to seed back freeleech files, but that still fundamentally requires someone to download them. Even if there are a couple of people trying to download, if there are 200 seeders all making the file available then you simply may not see much (or any) traffic.
So, what sort of numbers are you actually seeing? Once you've eliminated that as the issue then it's worth starting to look deeper.
