Your underpowered porn-PC is a site problem?
I'm pretty sure the site owner isn't changing code to add/remove the snowflakes - rather, they are programmed to start in Dec and last thru March. My point being: buckle up buttercup - they'll most likely be back, and last thru March AGAIN in 2027!

Yes you did your job briliantly, you did solve a "problem" well and you did not harm the community of this formerly russian gay torrent site. And yeah I am a drama queen, for sure
Not that I have a dog in this fight, but I want to be clear - as a 20 year member of this site (as-of this year! - Y'all even REMEMBER 2016?), the original site being gaytorrent.ru was NOT because it was housed in Russia - rather because registering a site with "gay" in the name wasn't allowed by many TLDs (Top-Level-Domains), and the .ru was not only accepting, but also CHEAP!
YOU pay the overhead costs for a site this size - esp with security needed (DOS and DDOS attacks against a GAY site? never!).
If improvements to the site are something you want, consider making a (or better, more than 1) contribution! This site may be free to you, but it's not free to run it!
Also, even tho they make mistakes, and overreact, and under-react, and otherwise breathe - as-if they were human - I'm very grateful to the staff that runs this site! They are both overpaid and underpaid: they volunteer (or so I'm told)! Without them, this place would be a useless morass of unformatted & unrecognisable data!
I personally would support REMOVING the special rules for negative filtering for str8, bi, & scat content....
If there is content on the site you don't want to see, there are ALREADY filters on the browse and search pages - learn to use them.
Yes, I realize that those are "inclusion" filters, and not "exclusion" filters, so if your "offensive" str8 is also tagged "Asian" and you are searching for Asian content, you'll still get the Str8 entry... oh the humanity!)
Besides, as far as I can tell, those filters (for Str8, Bi, & Scat) don't always work anyway. I'm told they only apply to the first category. Thus, I would support the idea of making that filtering in the browsing or search pages an "exclusion" list, or creating a separate list for exclusions - but it should apply (as the positive filter does) to all of the listed categories, not just the first one.
That said, I think the Mods have plenty to do already, and changing code to "shield the sensitive eyes" of some noisy users probably isn't high on the priority list.
IMHO, if you are "offended" by the sight of a vagina, you probably don't belong to the "adult" category to begin with. (To be clear: If I never see another vagina in my life, I will not miss it. But I should encounter one (sexually), I won't run screaming from the room!)
Finally, the same arguments are being made (in some cases by the same people) about AI generated porn. IMHO, it won't be too long before that AI porn is indistinguishable (in expert creators' hands) from the real thing...
100% in support of this - there should NEVER have been any confusion:
Trans women (MTF) benefit from male genetics - even if they undergo gender "affirming" surgery (that is: even if their balls are cut-off!) - that is PATENTLY unfair to biological women. That it was allowed for 1 week, much less several years, is just unfair and, in my mind, unreasonable.
Mind you, I have no objection to trans women in the ladies bathroom - I'm under no illusion that women are going into the bathroom to show off their vaginas (or penises) to each other... its just a bathroom, and the idea of a 2nd one for women is a "first world problem". 99% of women's restrooms in the 1st world have individual stalls that give each person a significant level of privacy. (99% of women's restrooms OUTSIDE the 1st world are just holes in the ground and are already shared with men 
).
That said, I draw the line when it comes to locker-rooms - where people are undressing & bathing. If you've HAD the surgery, and can pass for a female (albeit with surgical scarring) - when totally naked, then we can talk... but if you've still got a penis, you do not (perhaps yet) have the right to be in a women's locker-room. If you're trans and are uncomfortable in the "other" lockerroom, please ask for separate accommodations (usually, 1 or more coach's offices are in the same locations).
COMMON SENSE if you ask me!

@bi4smooth The offender and the content are connected, which is why I do not treat the continued circulation of his work as some neutral matter.
Whether he personally profits from downloads on this site is beside the point for me. The platform still chooses to host and distribute the material, and users are entitled to object to that on ethical grounds.
Let's differentiate here - you can find the content objectionable - AND you can say so in this forum - AND people can agree or disagree with what YOU find objectionable...
But let's not lose sight of the fact that virtually ALL of the content (gay sex) on this site is "morally objectionable" to a significant portion of society - larger in some areas, smaller in others, but significant in ALL areas!
Suggesting that his material be banned is one thing.
Insisting upon it is another.
Hey there! I wanted to say THANKS for pointing out this studio! They went down for a while, but I'm glad to see they're back!
This isn't a studio I'll download and keep ALL of their content (like Corbin Fisher LOL), but I'm definitely going to see if I can find these on other sites!
If I find some, I'll post here - and I might try uploading just to test the "DMCA" suspicions here... (another reason there might not be any of their content is that there just aren't any uploaders who subscribe! There's a TON of porn from sites I never see here on my HD!
Thanks again!

Corollary: When a priest is convicted of molesting an alter-boy, is the entire congregation supposed to drop the Catholic Faith in response? Were his sermons LESS valuable because of his crimes? If you're Catholic, were his absolutions in the confessional rescinded because he sinned? If so, were they rescinded when he committed his crimes, or only after his conviction?
While I agree with part of what you are saying, I do not think the priest example is equivalent.
It would be a leap to demand that an entire congregation abandon its faith because of one man’s crimes. The individual offender, however, must be held accountable and lose the position, access, and authority that made harm possible in the first place.
In your example, the priest should be defrocked, should never again be placed in a pastoral role, and should not be put in proximity to minors or other vulnerable young people. That is the relevant parallel for me. The consequences should remain with the offender instead of being imposed on every believer around him.
I think you've actually reinforced my point. It IS (IMHO) ridiculous to say that his parishioners deserve any punishment (including invalidating any of his works not associated with his crimes) - that was exactly my point! (I'm sorry my sarcasm wasn't more obvious LOL).
But shouldn't the same be true of Austin Wolf's legal content? To my mind, his legal works should not be removed solely because of his extracurricular crimes... heinous as they may be. (And lets not kid ourselves: Austin Wolf is NOT profiting from having his videos downloaded on this site! LOL)
@chuckBKK said in Gay adult actor Seth Peterson dies at age 28:
That is a really sad trend, and devastating for the families. A quick search mentions a staggering number.
Estimated Count: Industry blogs like Str8UpGayPorn have memorialized roughly 15 to 20 high-profile gay performers who have passed since 2021.
From Helix alone:
Lane Rogers (Blake Mitchell), 31 Dec 2025 - Casey Tanner, 28 April 2023 - Kyle Ross, 29 April 2023, Alex Riley, 22 May 2021 - Jasper Robinson, 21 Dec 2015 - Zac Stevens, 25 Nov 2015.May they all rest in peace.
An earlier post gave some general explanation for the state of affairs in the porn industry as a whole - but it isn't just the Helix "McMansion" setup that creates the mental illness many of these boys suffer from: as a culture, the LGBTQ community idolizes youth - something ALL of us lose eventually! They think, like many of us, about TODAY, and not TOMORROW - when they'll no longer be able to earn a living selling body images. Then, they're totally unprepared when their fans move on to a newer, younger model (literally!).
In the case of Helix, many of their formers performers continue to perform in porn with other studios, some find a "sugar daddy" to support them (though, in my experience, those don't last so long either), and others turn to simple prostitution.. (I'm not suggesting these are the only options for former porn actors, only that they're common paths). Still, FEW "take the money and run" - that is to say, amass the money in their youth, and then let it work for them later in life (like when they're 25! LOL)
IMHO, this really isn't any different from pro-sports athletes - many of whom amass great wealth early on in their careers, then leave the sport - either due to injury or simply age - and within a few short years they're totally broke!
We don't have any details on Seth's death yet... if it is drug-related, we probably will never hear anything but rumours... and that's OK - families have more of a right to privacy than we have a right to know! But while he worked for Helix in the past, he was one of those who had moved on to working with other studios (Naked Sword, Next Door, Men, and others).
I, for one, usually liked his content - I love vers boys! - but was lately a little stand-offish - I followed (on X) an ex-lover of his, who also worked at Helix for a while, and who described him, after their breakup, as being physically abusive (including pictures). I hope and pray that there wasn't a violent end to his life...

This is the best place (only place tbh) to discuss that....instead of just waiting to remove off-topic comments the moderation could use the comment section to make a brief statement,
Or people can have the discussion in the only appropriate place for the discussion. Some comments make sense: "RIP Blake Mitchell" makes sense on content he's in for hopefully obvious reasons.
It's even feasible to make commentary on performers. I think a comment here is what alerted me to Johnny Rapid's behavior. But it was just a comment about the performer, and personally I think that's helpful information for deciding whether I want to download the file.
But a debate about whether such content should be allowed obviously doesn't belong on the content page itself.
Just weighing in here - remember though: my thoughts are worth only what you paid for them!
First off, THIS is the "forum" for discussion - comments sections of torrents is NOT a valid place to have a discussion.
IMHO, posting something like "RIP Blake Mitchell" on one (or all) of his vids is not the same as requesting that content should be removed. It imparts reasonable knowledge about one of the stars.
Along those lines, if you wanted to post in Austin Wolf torrents that he is now a convicted sex offender, I'm OK with that! (remember, that's MY opinion, not the site's!) Its when you go that next step and say "... AND this should be banned" that I object. The first part is informing about the video and its stars... the other is an attempt to censor content... and likely, those comments (requesting removal) should be removed. But not because they may or may not be valid, but rather that a torrent's comment section isn't the place for that!
Corollary: When a priest is convicted of molesting an alter-boy, is the entire congregation supposed to drop the Catholic Faith in response? Were his sermons LESS valuable because of his crimes? If you're Catholic, were his absolutions in the confessional rescinded because he sinned? If so, were they rescinded when he committed his crimes, or only after his conviction?
Another case to consider: Brent Corrigan admitted to doing porn under-age (the level of involvement in all parties in that debacle is a debate for another time), yet he remained in the business - albeit as an adult - afterwards. IMHO, it is valid that we ban his illegal content: that is, videos that include Brent while he was under-age. But do we also ban all of his other content?
I despise SCAT porn, and generally am not a fan of FTM tranny porn. Some S&M porn gets REALLY violent - possibly illegally so, should the performer/victim want to press charges (in spite of forms signed prior to taping). Should any of these be banned? It's a slippery slope! What's more, who becomes the decider? (I'm assuming George W Bush isn't willing to perform that role!)
IMHO: when the content itself is illegal, it should be banned. If the content legal, but objectionable to some users - but is otherwise within the rules of the site, it should stay - so long as there are people seeding and downloading it, it apparently belongs here.
Again, these are my opinions - as a user here for approaching 20 years now - and if you object to them, I'll give you a 100% refund!
I absolutely HATE my local ISP... my feeds are slow, and when they detect torrent traffic, they block it. 
So, I pay $5/mo for a Linux server in the cloud. I install qBitTorrent on it, and away we go!
The server only comes with 20GB of storage - so I have to download the contents every so often & "refresh it" - but the feed & speed levels (esp for seeding you greedy fuckers! ) is amazing. (I'm sometimes seeding over 10 people, each one at over 10 MB/s) I have a "friend" on here who also uses a cloud server - but he's not Linux-literate, so he got a Windows server (minimal configs) for $10/mo... he also uses qBitTorrent.
I don't get to seed my huge collections - but I do get to help seed some very popular postings at very fact speeds!
On my home end, I have a HUGE NAS server I store my porn on - I don't know why I let it get so big! Honestly, I think if I started watching today - and DIDN'T jerk off (or at least didn't stop watching after I got off) - I could watch porn non-stop until the end of my life! And then some!
On the plus side, I also torrent new movies on that server - and I've NEVER ONCE received a DMCA notice from my provider!
There is a collection of Tristan K vids from RHSB here:

I wasn't able to find any from SSB, but I didn't look THAT hard...
So, technically an Ephebophile, not so much a Pedophile...
Just as illegal, and ESP as he knew the victim from a place of authority, nearly as bad.
Not that sexually enticing post-pubescent children is OK - it is not - but there are degrees of evil...
But people, you have to be able, as an adult, to separate thought and desire from action!
When I was 19, I spent the summer (home from college) working as a lifeguard at a community pool. There was a girl who kept coming on to me - she was cute & sexy and I'd DEFINITELY have "done that". In fact, we were all set to go out on a Sat after work... UNTIL a co-worker clued me in that, while she looked 17 or 18, she was in-fact, only 14! (For clarity: I'm pansexual)
That didn't make her less attractive - or less sexually enticing - but it DID mean there was NO WAY I would have acted upon that!
In the end, I wound up hooking up with the only other MALE lifeguard who worked at that pool!
Ummm... it shocks you that ANTIFA... that is, quite literally, "Anti-Fascist"... is protesting against armed government agents detaining people - sometimes citizens - without warrants, without criminal complaints, without criminal histories...
Next thing you'll be surprised that 100% of the people attending Sunrise Service on Easter Morning are Christian!
Pretty sure this scumbag wasn't anti-Charlie Kirk because of his otherwise "liberal" views...
But honestly, 5 years isn't nearly long enough... and perps of this kind statistically have a HIGH recidivism rate!
Having raised 9 children, I am particularly "sensitive" to these kinds of crimes - and I'm often torn by the decisions the legal community makes about these offenders...
I've said in other threads recently - the problem here is that we, as a society, have "given up" on the idea of mental health. There is absolutely NO infrastructure in place (other than prisons) to treat these mentally ill people.
ALL other 1st-world countries have mental health facilities - and sick fucks like this one can be sentenced - LONG TERM - to a mental health facility and treated and monitored... for the rest of their lives!
What I know for certain, is that what we're doing now - to both prevent and punish - isn't working!
Rentmen! Be still my .. heart? bowels? ROFL!
Not gonna convince me (without evidence beyond "Trump had a feeling") that Iran was an imminent threat...
but that doesn't mean they were no threat at all.
Either way, they're gonna make us regret this - and Trump will regret it BADLY come November - MAGA - the REAL MAGA - is pissed!
This is an illegal, illegitimate war... but now that we're in it, I 100% support our troops. I hope our leaders decide to end it soon. All it takes is for Trump to "declare victory" (which he already has, on multiple occasions), and stop the bombing... but Hegseth and others are "enjoying this" - like it's a game - except that REAL PEOPLE are dying!
But to the wrestler issue: This kind of senseless killing is common in extremist countries - and the religion doesn't really matter: Islam, Hindi, Judaism, Christianity, even pagan religions have done as bad, or worse (ever seen a "drawn & quartered" execution?)
So long as our "civilizations" consider the baseline of "I'm right, you're wrong, and I'm willing to kill to prove it" as reasonable, there will be tragedies such as this.
I was born & raised Christian - I practice that religion today - and, I raised my 9 children to be Christian.
None of that stops me from respectfully saying Eid Mubarak on this Eid Al-Fitr holiday (the end of the Islamic Ramadan).
We CAN live in peace - but we gotta let other people live differently than us! Just as freely as we want to live ourselves!
ridiculous claims - from someone who idolizes a pedophile (who once admitted to being sexually attracted to his own daughter).
People in glass houses....
@blablarg18
I shot these ridiculous stats in the head in another thread.
There are only about 2.8m trans people in the USA. At your "offender rate" of 0.33 per million, that's less than 1 offender in the USA.
I think we can agree, THAT is not possible....
BUT, I still say, forget about number of offenders per million -- let's look at total offenders. Truth be told, white evangelical christian men are STATISTICALLY much more of a potential danger to your children than trans people are...
But why look at the results without looking at the problem: gay, straight, trans - THAT's just finger-pointing! Those things are not (according to psychologists) causal to these mass murder events! What IS common is that the perps suffer from mental illness - and this country HAS NO - ZERO - INFRASTRUCTURE to help people with mental illness... well, at least not until they commit a crime (and often times, that first crime is indeed, murder!)
Please - stop pointing the finger at one minority group or another and recognize the need for a REAL solution - some kind of mental health care in this country!
Not to interfere with other discussions, but qBitTorrent 2.x will still show padding files... but qBitTorrent 3.x will essentially hide them.
@blablarg18
All the rhetoric is one thing... but when will there be anything but accusations - that have been proven to be baseless
The GOP has been in charge of the DOJ & FBI for well over a year - where are the prosecutions?
Hell, there haven't even been Grand Juries formed to investigate the "election fraud"
Because the ONLY fraud claims are coming fro people who lost in 2020 and can't stand to think about it.
I still ask: if the POTUS election in 2020 was fraudulent, what about all the down-ballot items? THEY were OK?
