@massafera said in Why is everything new being deleted from the "Fan Sites" category?:

@bi4smooth maybe then don't owe an answer to one single user, but this is a problem that is affecting thousands of users who use that category everyday to upload and download. So yes, they should address this as soon as possible. I already asked on helpdesk under the DMCA category and I got no answer so far. So I tried the forum and still nothing has been said. I am patiently waiting but this is not a small issue and users do need an honest answer regardless of how much we pay. As I said, it's affecting thousands of users.

So - let me get this straight: You're complaining that people who ILLEGALLY (in most countries, at least) share their porn - can not do so in the VOLUME that satisfies YOU?

Dude - when you read the stories about the "dark web" where people share things (like stolen data, credit card numbers, and porn) that they shouldn't... you're on it!

99% of the porn you're downloading here is porn that is NOT supposed to be shared. Yet, here we are - doing it anyway!

There was a period in time, not so long ago, when Sean Cody and Corbin Fisher were both aggressively SUING downloaders and seeders alike for illegally sharing their material. That has abated (too expensive for too little reward), but the truth is: we're still stealing their porn when we share it here!

I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings, but your complaint is akin to the guy who steals 10,000 credit card numbers and then complains that his ex-wife's isn't on the list (or that his own *IS on the list! LOL).

If the owners/moderators of the site WANT to share information with you about why, then so be it - but you are ENTITLED to nothing! Zip! Zilch! "King of all Ghostings!" - including a 100% refund of your site-joining fees!

Fine! If you want to LAMENT the loss of those videos - I lament the loss of 1000s of Sean Cody videos on their site, and now especially hard to find elsewhere... but that doesn't mean I'm OWED those videos - even if I'm a PAID member there! And you are OWED nothing here, either.

I will end with this observation: your attitude isn't likely to get any kind of a POSITIVE response from any Staff member that I've ever chatted with! And I've been on here since 2008!

@lololulu19 said in Used to be seeding thousands and downloading dozens.. but now 0/0:

another bug has popped up in the system

I routinely have several thousand torrents available to seed online, and my main screen shows a number in the thousands for available uploads and several dozen which are in an unfinished state.

Now I see that I have 0 for both.. nothing! As if I don't exist.
I have this massive library of torrents to share, but nobody is benefitting from my many years of "hard" work.

As an active member of the forum, I will accept your challenge! I will crawl down my own Internet wires and unclog your Internet!

Honestly, dude, that's what the helpdesk is there for...

My educumated guess is that your ISP is blocking the tracker - either in DNS, or by IP address.
How to fix?

• VPN
• Alternate DNS server (I like 1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1 - CloudFlare)

@calatar said in Biden: "“It’s time we remembered that ‘We the people’ are the government.":

@bi4smooth Really interesting seeing your post - and I largely agree with you about your concern.

I do think though that we have had so many years of quantitative easing - without - the corresponding increase in inflation everyone was expecting... that we are likely looking at an update to how economics thinks about the topic. There are, of course, many reasons for this lack of inflation... but it is interesting to see that the vast supply of money that's coming in hasn't even remotely moved inflation.

Do you know of Mark Blithe? His book on austerity is well worth a read. And he has some pretty convincing ideas about why inflation is not happening ATM. Worth looking out a few of his lectures on YouTube if you are interested (and haven't already seen them!).

The term "quantitative easing" came from the 2008 fiscal crisis. The term was used for when the Bush administration realized that the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers and the essential "vanishing" of huge sums of money OUT of our economy had to be "replaced", or things would potentially continue to collapse. That cash infusion did not work as expected - because it was "given" to the major banks - with the understanding that they would "loan" it out to "prop up" the economy. That did NOT happen: the cash wasn't used by the banks for loans - it was used (almost entirely) to "prop up" the cash basis of the banks, show "fake" improvements in their "profitability", and then proffer huge bonuses to the bank executives for miraculously saving the institutions!

The continuation of adding "cash" into the economy can be largely used to explain the US economy's unrivaled run of success (expansion - with minimal inflation) from 2009/2010 through the 1st quarter of 2020 (e.g. until the pandemic). This "slow growth" approach was experimental, but proved to be exceptionally successful!

However, the lack of inflation can be pretty-easily traced to the fact that the "cash infusions" through this time were relatively small. Unlike the THREE lump-sum payments of the covid-relief plans - which were not small, they were HUGE! The first two were demonstrably needed due to economic contractions similar to the fiscal crisis in 2007/2008. And, this time we learned: we didn't send the cash to the banks, we sent it directly to the people (who promptly SPENT it - exactly what was needed!)

The need for the 3rd (and largest) "infusion" (aka: stimulus check) was less obvious, but time will tell if it was "too much too fast"... but the early signs are that there are inflationary signs... significant ones. In the real-estate, home-building, auto-making, and dozens of other industries. Some can be attributed to short-term supply-chain issues, but all at once?

If Biden gets his way, and the Federal Gov't pumps another $2-4T into this economy, I think we're in for a bumpy ride...

BTW: I read recently where Warren Buffet is warning people about possible inflation. Mind you, that doesn't make me (or him) right - but I'm not embarrassed to have come to the same conclusion as arguably the most successful investor of all time....

@boltvolts said in illegal file:

@bi4smooth As stated before I agree by and large with your approach. You fail to acknowledge my point. Majority is not an issue for this site, rather for morality itself. The site owners can only maintain and serve the public it seeks to serve by arriving at a level of balance that serves the majority of its users. Nothing to do with legalities. I maintain the majority of users here would not support underage posts. The age of consent in Italy is 14, but only if the other party is within two years of their age. These legalities vary by venue, therefore the legality issue is not what is at issue in this instance.

This is part of the issue with the Internet... your 14 y/o Italian porn (with 2 x 14 y/o stars) might be legal there (?? I don't know, but you seem to imply that it is above ??)...
But that is NOT legal in the US, where the age to appear in porn is 18+ (across the country - not state-by-state).

I do not envy the staff who have to decide what is "legal age" and what isn't - ESPECIALLY with the onslaught of non-professional postings: OnlyFans, Twitter, and other large providers of short clips have no record-keeping requirements like professional studios do...

I know of at-least-one 12 y/o girl who was "publishing" sex videos with her 13 y/o boyfriend on a site where both used ludicrously fake IDs to get an account. They were "discovered" by the girl's older brother, who was apparently a collector of porn videos - at 15!

And pardon my hubris, but anyone who says that they can spot an underage performer is demonstrably a fool, and a moron to boot: Look at the earliest videos of Austin Young! He could have passed for a 13 y/o for christ's sake! But he had ID that proved he was 18... and look, sometime, at Asian Twink porn! Some of those guys look downright pre-pubescent, but have proven their identities to be 18+!

So what do you do with content that's posted from Twitter? There is no age requirement (at least not 18+), or record-keeping requirement there!

This is largely the same issue that all-but-took-down the *Tube sites (PornTube, XTube, PornHub, etc.) - some of their submissions were coming DIRECTLY from underage performers (no need for pedophiles to get involved, the kids were posting their own selves - their own content, no adults needed!)

It's a "can of worms" - and one I'm glad I don't have to dig into: as the father of 9 kids, I have nightmares of seeing one of my kids in a porn download! (Not that I would object if one of my adult kids wanted to go into porn - but I would NOT want to watch it!)

@adonismix said in illegal file:

@corbyn4life

If it makes you more comfortable, you can always check to see if a studio's website has a statement of compliance with US Title 18, Section 2257 (which requires producers of erotic material to keep records proving that all models were eighteen years or older when photographed or filmed). Most websites have this, alongside an email or mailing address of the custodian of records who can be contacted if need be. The links to these can usually be found near the links to other legal information like their privacy policy.

For the record, 19nitten does have such a compliance statement, as does East Boys, so I assume they're legal in the sense that they're not child pornography.

Absolutely... and that works for "professional" content... but have you browsed the torrents lately? There is a TON of "amateur" content - it's the new fad!

A girl in a local nearby town had a huge "coming out" party for her new OnlyFans account - a big house party, where at midnight she opened her OnlyFans account - because it was her 18th birthday! (She thinks she'll be one of the "stars" who makes 6-figures from their online content!)

@raphjd said in Party of family values part 1 :

@eobox91103

Pro-Life is giving each person a chance.

Pro-Choice is killing people before they have a chance.

Clearly, you liberals are unable to understand that.

Let's try it this way:

Thou shalt not kill

It doesn't say: thou shalt not kill babies any more than it says thou shalt not kill murderers....

What really gets me are the pro-lifers who argue that rape & incest pregnancies should be exceptions. Sure, the kid's father is a criminal, so just OK their murder because of the actions of their father...

That's the American Way!

@adonismix said in illegal file:

You're right that nothing is absolute. There are, unfortunately, unscrupulous people out there who will flat out lie about the age of the people involved. On other websites, I've seen people upload known underage videos and magazines while claiming the subjects are adults, and if I didn't know what they were, I'd have easily assumed they were telling the truth. (I've also seen people flat-out upload videos and photos of little kids, which is its own problem, but thankfully doesn't seem to be an issue here.) This isn't even touching the issue of fake IDs.

I think the only thing you can really do is report it if you see something that looks wrong and exercise caution as best you can.

That's the system here: see underage? report it, and it will be removed. People who consistently upload under-age content will be removed, too! LOL

@raphjd said in Liberals - vaccine passports vs voter ID:

Why is it that liberals are against voter ID but they fully support vaccine passports?!

GOV. BROWN BLOCKS OREGON FROM CDC DEMASK RULE reads one headline. In typical liberal fashion, she said that she would follow what the CDC says, but as soon as the CDC says we can unmask, she doesn't care what the CDC says.

She also won't allow people to unmask, per CDC ruling, until she has in place a legally mandated vaccine passport system.

Not surprisingly, she is against voter ID laws.

I suggest you combine the two: you must show proof of ID AND proof of COVID-19 Vaccine...

both

In order to vote in 2022!

@corbyn4life said in illegal file:

only way be sure is no allow ameater content

I'm sorry - but the only way to be sure you're not watching under-age porn is to not watch porn at all, and if that's your take, then kindly turn-in your membership to this site at the desk...

IMHO, efforts DO NEED to be taken - and they are here - but you don't slaughter the herd to avoid one black sheep!

@manhandler said in Keep that mask on your face you dirty human.:

@manhandler Correction* It's a Democratic Party Operation. Born straight out of Communism, which everyone in the entire world knows SUCKS. Except for the white liberals in America who seem to be the cheerleaders for a group of elitists who decide how much each person gets.

You're a fool - and a tool.

People around the Globe (not just in the US) are successfully protecting themselves from COVID-19 with masks - masks of all kinds. Their success is why there are 3.5+ million deaths and not 10x that number!

Your reticence that this is a conspiracy - somehow focused against YOU is textbook Fascist Nationalism...

And before you accuse me of demagoguery - check up on the DEFINITION of that term.

@eobox91103 said in illegal file:

As the discussion above shows, this is a complex topic. I'll add a few of my own thoughts here.

As for underage material, as @bi4smooth points out, you can't simply look at a "model" and determine their age. While a pre-pubescent 10 year old would not be mistaken for an adult, someone who's 15 can look 20, and vice versa. It would be nice to be able to rely on a producer's certification of age-compliance, but this is not infallible. Some get it wrong, and some purposely misrepresent the facts.

I did a porn movie (actually 2) when I was 19... it was shot in NYC, and ... Blah blah blah... I was 19 and in need of money for college! 6 months later, I was asked to come BACK to re-shoot the scene... seems my co-star was only 17 and used a fake ID. (I declined, but that's not the point. The point is: fake IDs are nothing new, though they ARE harder to make (believably) today than back in the 1980s!)

Then, there's the issue of amateur material--anybody with a smartphone can make and post a video. There's no way to determine the age of the performers, and thus some sites will not host (or share) material that isn't from a commercial producer. There is amateur material on GR.ru, and it's possible that there are some underage performers. The moderators can't look at everything that's uploaded.

This site, like most media in this category, is wholly dependent on users reporting illegal material. That's why there is a report feature!

Part of amateur material is voyeur content--filmed in a locker room, shower, or over the divider of a toilet stall without the consent of the subject. These subjects could pursue both the person taking the photos and anyone possessing that material for an invasion of privacy--the usual norm being that photos or videos taken where a person has a "legitimate expectation of privacy" constitute such invasion. This gets further complicated given that there's no way to verify the age of a person being recorded in such circumstances. I have seen some toilet stall videos where I am less than convinced that the subject was 18 or over.

Anything non-professional and with non-well-known actors is possibly age inappropriate (I know a 16 y/o with a chest hairy enough to make any 40 y/o envious!)

And finally, we need to distinguish age of consent from age of majority: In Canada, and most of the United States, it is legal to engage in sexual activity with someone 16 or 17 years old--but possessing a photo of that person's genitalia would be a crime.

An example among many potential ones where juggling between the varying ages that boys and girls become men and women - and recognizing that the sexual urges that come with that transformation are biologically programmed to be difficult to suppress - is problematic in our society.

The "18+" rules for porn aren't perfect - there are some 18 y/o actors who are NOT mature enough (mentally, physically, or emotionally) to make the decision to do porn, and there are 15 y/o actors who DO have all the necessary faculties... and there is no reasonable way to balance those, except to draw an artificial line in the sand and say "18 is it - under 18 and you can't make those decisions, over 18 and you can" and accept that there will be examples where that is a bad age - on both sides.

One conclusion from all this is that each of us needs to use caution about what material we download and/or keep on our computer. Ultimately, it doesn't matter that you believe it's "legal" or can make an argument for that being the case, but rather it's what the legal system would think if you come under scrutiny. There have been cases where a person's computer or download records were seized for one reason or another, and when an investigator had reason to believe that there was banned material present, criminal charges were made. These might be later dismissed or acquitted, but only after considerable inconvenience and/or embarrassment. I don't say this to frighten people, but only to recommend that all of us be careful in what we do. Unless one is really into child (i.e., pre-pubescent) material, there's an abundance of clearly legal content available on this site that will be more than satisfying.

Agreed: I personally prefer the "amateur" content of models that have appeared in "studio porn" - examples are Aiden Garcia (my boy-crush) & his current beau, Seth Peterson; as well as the "twinkzz101" boys (Jacob & Harley). Unlike the studio content, they often cum where they want to, and their "enjoyment" is never under scrutiny! (I love it when they "accidentally" cum too early - much of their content is for Chatturbate, where they WANT to move into a "pay" chat space for the cum shots) - but keep right on going after!

@manhandler said in The left is eating itself.:

Oh thoughts, you keep teasing me.

CO2 is actually beneficial to greenery. Lol. CO2 is like, oxygen to trees, and the more CO2, the more trees. There is more CO2, so there is more vegetation now by 14+%. But the left wants us to think that we need CO2 to go to zero. Humans exhale CO2 so that means you'd have to kill us all to get to zero, and when you did get to zero, there would be no CO2... meaning nothing left for trees to breath. God damn. I am so tired of this ignorance.

You know the science about Greenhouse Gasses about as well as a gnat understands how and why it can fly. (And that's being generous - to the gnat!)

CO2 is not dangerous (and is - indeed - necessary for most life) in low-altitude atmosphere - but it is incredibly dangerous to the OZONE in the upper atmosphere - and it is the OZONE in the upper atmosphere that protects ALL LIFE on the surface from harmful radiation from the Sun.

Lose the Ozone layer, and the only life on this planet will be in caves and under water... and NONE of that life will be bipedal!

To follow YOUR banal logic, water is good... water is life... melting the ice caps and raising sealevels by - why not 5 feet! - would be a great thing!

I tell you what: water is good for you - necessary for life... I suggest you drink 3 gallons of water a day for a week. (Actually - I want to be clear: that's sarcasm! If you really did that, you would literally drown!)

The discussion about child porn (including shota) is covered by the BANNED CONTENT link that's shown every time you upload content:

• Shota (aka: shouta, shotacon, shotakon)

Your "smoking gun" is a water pistol. The email most people are talking about is an email from someone at the Wuhan lab thanking him for saying that the virus probably came from an animal-to-human cross-species transmission.

So, if I send an email to Donald Trump thanking him for all of his service to Mother Russia, does that make Trump a Russian agent?

No!

In both cases, it's an email TO the concerned party - it could say ANYTHING! There's no collusion with Fauci & Wuhan, any more than there was with Trump and Russia! (It'd be different if the email was FROM Fauci saying something like: I hope you liked it - I did what you said and deferred blame from you. When can I expect the funds?)

At the time of the email, Fauci had made those comments - and there is no evidence of any trail back to Wuhan BEFORE then... so he said something that they liked... and they thanked him for it... that doesn't mean there was a prior arrangement, just that they were thankful for his comments!

Did Fauci reverse course on masks over time? Sure! So did Leonardo DaVinci on the possibility of flight... so did Trump supporters on the value of the COVID-19 vaccines! (Pre-Election they were all for them! Trump was a SAVIOR for steamrolling the whole process through in RECORD time!... but POST-Election, it's suddenly a Democrat ploy to inject you with super-computer chips that will control your mind and allow the government to just turn you off, like a machine.)

COVID came at us fast and furious... we were learning a LOT about it in a very short time. Remember at the beginning when you were supposed to wear gloves and use hand sanitizer when you brought home your groceries? We thought it lived on surfaces (turns out, that was wrong)... At that time, we also didn't think it was spread by aerosol... (turns out, that was wrong too)... but that's the beauty of the Scientific Method - you test your theories, and the ones that hold up you cling to, and the ones that do not, you discard! (And if you happen to have one of those theories that has held up for decades - or even centuries - and you prove it is wrong, you discard it! Truth is truth!)

But in the early days of COVID-19, we didn't want to wait for test results, we wanted to know NOW what the experts THOUGHT! Tested or not! So, the politically stupid scientists gave us what we wanted!: The unproven theories of the moment. They foolishly believed that, like any good scientist, you'd understand that some of them would prove to be wrong.

Look, there were a LOT of mistakes made in early 2020 when this first started to hit... Trump made many of those mistakes - but he's not to blame (any more than Fauci is) - we used the info that we had! We did what we thought was best at the time, given VERY LITTLE actual scientific research/results. And, predictably so, a lot of it was wrong.... hindsight is 20/20!

BUT this (mid-2021) ain't that!

We know a LOT more now than we did then - including the fact that COVID-19 does not live for long on surfaces (in fact, once the water droplets they're in evaporate, the virus dies rather quickly!), and the fact that it spreads MOSTLY by aerosol, and that masks - even simple cloth ones - do an EXCELLENT job of "knocking down" the water droplets infected with the virus and thereby SIGNIFICANTLY reducing the area around us where exhaled breath droplets (potentially COVID-19 infected) can spread.

So a year ago, Fauci and his ilk got some COVID-19 facts wrong. So did a LOT of politicians (Trump, yes, but others too... virtually ALL of them to tell the truth!).

That people got things wrong isn't the question - it's what they did/do when they find out they're wrong that is what's important! Do they admit it and correct themselves? Or, do they cling to the information (that they now KNOW to be wrong) because they don't want to admit (or look like) they were wrong.

Scientists do the former. Politicians do the latter. (Apparently even politicians who are scientists, sadly).

@dandylion

From the horse's mouth....

No offense, @DandyLion LOL

Former NSA Michael Flynn stepped on his own dick this weekend, answering a question from the audience:

Q: "I want to know why what happened in Myanmar can't happen here?"

For reference, the Myanmar military overthrew the democratically-elected Government because they didn't like the outcome. The coup has been bloody and violent, and has been criticized by virtually ALL of the rest of the world.

Mr. Flynn's response - after a short pause for consideration :

A: "No reason. I mean, it should happen here. No reason, that's right"

This is Nationalist Fascism... pure and simple.

Had he not started today (a day later) to try to walk-back that simple comment, he'd likely be in deep legal trouble. And he may still be: Publicly espousing the violent overthrow of the US Government is Sedition and Treason.

So, he's trying to walk it back to cover his ass... but where is the outrage from Conservatives? The audience members APPLAUDED that response! If you're not outraged at the response itself, be outraged at the response to it!

I want to be clear here: I mean where are the Conservative responses - NOT the Trumpite responses... we already know they support this kind of rhetoric! I mean Conservative voices like Ted Cruz and Mitch McConnell & Kevin McCarthy!

I'll tell you - they're silent because they're cowards - afraid to stand up against this Nationalist Fascism in our own Party for fear of losing re-election.

Country above party above self...

Unless you're a coward.

Also there is no need to recode a mps video in H265, this double compression will degrade a lot a final quality.
Same applies if you join different mp4 and recompress them.

To check the quality of your file, you can use Mediainfo (windows free ware)

A Lot of content is posted in multiple file sizes -- everything from phone-size (360p) to 4K, and even some 8k content has been posted! In most cases, it depends on the source material.

As for re-coding, whether you're re-compressing depends on how you're re-coding. Some video "translation" software DECODES the source stream into "raw" output before "re-coding" the stream with the new codec.

To that end, I personally use HandBrake to recode content to make it smaller... I have TB of "collections" (most of which are shared here) that are re-coded to H265 at just 720p to save space. I don't need to see every hair stubble or every juicy zit to beat off! LOL But that's just me! And ain't that the beauty of this site (and porn in general)?

There's something for everyone!

Peace! and enjoy the free porn... it's a bargain, at twice the price!

Honestly, since George HW Bush, I don't think I've EVER voted for President in the US when I didn't have to "hold my nose" - at least a little - because I didn't particularly like either candidate!

I would LOVE to live in your world: where for every evil, there is an equal and opposite HERO... and for every "Good Guy", there is a sniveling, "Snidely Whiplash" character to be the foil... But I live in reality... no person is all good, nor all evil.
