@coolukdude-0 said in 413l & Nginx:

I'm having this problem and to be honest I'm giving up.

It isn't worth it trying to get images uploaded. There are various suggestions for size limits etc. but for me they don't make any difference.

Um... @kalayaan (a "Global Moderator") has said the site admins are aware and are trying to fix...

Of course, it it's not fixed in 5-10 minutes, you may as well take all your toys and go home? HAVE SOME PATIENCE

Unless I'm mistaken, NO ONE makes money off of this site... give them time to figure it out! This site has worked well (almost flawlessly) for 15+ years that I know of - where something broke will likely be the hard part... fixing it may take only a moment, but knowing WHAT to fix... aye, there's the rub!

@lololulu19 said in Have you had anal sex with a FEMALE?:

Do you prefer anal sex with a woman or vaginal sex with a woman?

Do you prefer anal sex with a woman or anal sex with a man?

I think I'm in the minority here - having been married to a woman & to a man... in any case, my personal tastes are:

• Vaginal sex with women - it's naturally lubricating and "built for speed" - and if she wants to get a little wild, who says we have to do the same thing every time/
• Anal sex is the only way I can easily cum with a man - giving or receiving. (Ok, masturbation certainly works, but I can count on one hand the number of times I've been sucked to orgasm!)
• I prefer vaginal sex with women, and anal sex with men... and it's not the same: the inside of a woman's ass isn't the same as the inside of a man's!

@lololulu19

You've made this same complaint over an over - at what point to you realize: no one here cares that you were punished, even though you have a large personal library and have been rather generous (by your own measure) with sharing that content.

2 things:

1. When they remove the torrents here, they are not affecting the library you have on your computer at all... can't you beat off to the OLDER Staxus content that you already have? (Specifically: so no one misunderstands: what I'm really saying here is that, once you download - or even when you upload - the site has no direct ties to the files on your system, and there are no trackers (sorry for the use of the torrenting term) either (though there USED to be some watermarked content, this site no longer does that - if it ever was done BY THE SITE to begin with!)

2. Your analogy to a library is badly flawed: If I purchase the latest novel from Steven King, read it, then give it to the library to allow others to read it too, that's one thing.
   But if I take Mr. King's novel, copy all of the pages onto loose-leaf paper, then sit outside the bookstore with a little sign that says "Why buy this novel? I'll give you a copy of mine for free!"
   It'd be one thing if we had purchased DVDs of this material (or, more modernly NFTs?) and mailed them to each other... but, this ain't that...

If you're so dedicated to the content from Staxus, spend the $200/yr to subscribe to their site! The models you love so much can then be paid to perform!

I was 35 and content to know I was unlikely to ever have children of my own... then (and I'm not joking) the condom broke once, and my daughter was conceived. I married her mother (I did love her, and she/we were great for about 10 years! Then her mother had a stroke and moved in with us, and my wife turned into a very wicked witch). We tried to have more biological kids, but complications during my daughter's birth left her unable to carry more children... so we became foster parents, and along the way we adopted... and adopted... and adopted! All told, I have 9 beautiful children (and one.... no, they're all beautiful, all unique [no full-blood brothers or sisters], and all joys in my life)

I lived a wild live until 35, and you could make a case for it being a WILD almost-25 years since then... but I have no regrets! My kids are all awesome, each in their own way!

Married (to a woman) for 15 years - divorced
Married (to a man) for 3 years - widowed (he passed due to a medical mistake)

I'm cursed (Or, I choose badly - but then it would be my own fault, and we can't have that!)

Currently dating a closet-queen middle-aged Asian - I love him to death, but he lives with his parents and doesn't seem ready to break it to them that he's queer (like they haven't guessed after 35 years!)

I'm cursed... wait, I already said that...

@mascbbbottom said in Torrents That Need Seeding!:

@bi4smooth Can anyone help me with these dead torrents? I originally uploaded them years ago and lost the files and now I am trying to download but no one is seeding. Kalayaan made these Freelech but that has not helped:

If @kalayaan (a Moderator) was unable to help you, I certainly won't be able to - sorry!

I do have about 9TB of porn - but none of those titles are in my own library....

@lololulu19 said in One post says this, but another say something else:

@DandyLion By the way, it doesn't bother me that I personally can't upload for 90 days. What does bother me is that every uploader who uploaded Staxus content.. which is arguably the best content there is.. got zapped for 90 days. All the most valued uploaders of this site... have been blocked from uploading for 90 days, yet they did not violate any rule.

Based solely on how many times you have referenced it here, on the Forums, I'd say you are very much bothered by this... I was an uploader of some Staxus content that was recently DMCA'd, but didn't get my rights taken - maybe when some of your content was removed, you tried to re-post it? (Just guessing at why you were penalized and I was not)

@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)

@lololulu19 said in Upload privileges revoked for 90 days?:

@DandyLion If someone has a question about DMCA, they can always check the website which is a massive catalog of ALL copyrights so they don't upload anything that has a copyright. Nothing I have ever uploaded has a copyright.
https://coccatalog.loc.gov/

Your assumption that a copyright has to be registered, in the same way a patent, or a trademark, is registered, is incorrect.

A copyrightable work is protected by copyright laws the moment it is created and fixed in a material form. Registering your work is voluntary, but can be beneficial. Registration legally sets a "creation date" (in case someone claims parallel creation), as well as establishing your intent to defend your copyright protections.

You have erroneously claimed (multiple times) here on these forums that porn cannot be copyrighted... I have referenced here before - on multiple occasions - that the site CorbinFisher.com went through a spell where they were suing illegal downloaders and getting large judgements against defendants!

A company called Strike 3 was subsequently hired by a few porn companies to "aggressively assert their DMCA rights" and filed THOUSANDS of complaints. While most of those were thrown out by lower courts, in 2020 Appellate Courts reinstated them!

@raphjd said in Trans Scots killer now identifying as infant demands nappies and baby food in jail:

https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/trans-murderer-prison-identify-baby-26669658

Sophie Eastwood, formerly Daniel, is demanding nappies to wear and food to be blended like a baby's and has already been supplied with a dummy at Polmont prison.

In the UK, a "dummy" is a pacifier in the US.

Someone's working in an insanity defense LOL

So, what attracted you to this story? The fact that the crazy person is also trans?

@ashjames07 said in Would You Be Straight if You Had The Choice?:

Yes, atm I would

Babysat my nephew a few times recently and he's so adorable and he seems to like me. Makes me want to be a dad.

But I am a scientifically minded person, I got nothing against adoption and it's something if I settled down I would not pass up with my husband but it's not the same

I struggle knowing the purpose of life and understanding it fully, procreation, my own family, it's important to me that one of my children are physically and biologically mine, so I have a family to leave behind.

We all die and are eventually forgotten, but for me to just end and leave nothing to prosper.. It does mess with my head more than I've cared to admit, the struggle of being gay whilst agreeing with being here to be a dad to my own child is the reason I should be here.

Not being able to have that for obvious reasons is upsetting, Holding my nephews and niece makes me want my own

If I had the choice, I'd have been born a white male of Royal lineage from a rich and peaceful country - but NOT too close "in line to the throne" as to be a public spectacle everywhere I went.

Since I'm wishing, I'd also like a 10" penis, blue eyes, flawless skin, perfectly flowing (not thinning) blonde hair, and a personality that made me the envy of all the free world.

The point? Being gay is how I was born... I was born with a lot of good (great!) things (not least of which is being born in the USA), and some less than great... but they are what they are, and I don't generally fantasize about how things would be different "if"... but when I do, I go all out! LOL

The reason your laptop fans get so loud is because the fans are inside the laptop - where space is at a premium... tiny fans have to spin VERY fast to move a lot of air.

Consider a laptop "cooling pad" - it's basically a "stand" you put your laptop on that has vents and rather large fans underneath... more air flow at higher air speeds, but at slower FAN speeds means a cooler laptop with much much less noise!

Most office supply stores carry them, as does Amazon (what don't they carry?)

@lololulu19 said in Risk of AIDS in sex with women vs men:

I was having a discussion with someone about the rationale for engaging in gay sex.
I pointed out that with gay sex, you are not risking having an unplanned, unwanted baby, or trip to an abortion clinic.

The person I was chatting with responded with "Well, with gay sex you are risking AIDS". At first, I thought to myself that he had a point.. but then.. I realized.. his point was nonsense. You get AIDS by having sex with women too. In fact, it seems the way many if not most people got AIDS was not from sex, but by sharing dirty needles.

My question is.. Is sex with women any less of a risk of AIDS than sex with men?

And.. let's not forget that women are like incubators for a plethora of STDs.

Not sure what that comment above (about teachers) was about, but it's incorrect to believe that the incidence of HIV infection when having sex with an untreated HIV+ partner is that much greater in men than with women.

The "abundance" of HIV in the gay community in "white" countries (large parts of Europe, North America, & Australia) does not extend itself to other parts of the world: AIDS is mostly heterosexual in Africa, as well as most of Asia and Latin America. This is in large part because the "gay" communities in those cultures are less "out" and so are considerably less "promiscuous"...

That said, transmission from an infected woman to an uninfected man, or from an infected bottom man to an uninfected top is considerably less likely (tho far from "hard")...

The idea that "straight" people get HIV primarily from IV drug use is a homophobic trope designed to further demonize those infected with HIV... and it is factually incorrect.

@lololulu19 said in Anal sex.. for women..:

Men have a highly sensitive prostate gland which gives great pleasure when stimulated, about 1.5 inches up their ass.
Women have no prostate gland.

With that in mind, is there any reason why a woman would want to stick a vibrator (or cock for that matter) up their ass? They have nothing up their ass to feel pleasure. Men do.

Women have a clitoris "in the area" - but you are biologically correct - no prostate. That said, the clitoris is way more than just what you see (on the outside)! It’s shaped like a kind of wishbone - and can extend to the anus.

Let's not forget - a nice part of anal sex is rimming - and most women enjoy that just as much as men do!

@Kekkaishi said in English Words Pronunciation:

@bi4smooth I remember an encounter many years ago where I worked as cashier at a drug store.
A customer enters who speaks English natively. I don't remember the details but he asked me a question (in English of course) and I answered using the word "either" (pronounced I-ther) in regards to comparing two products or something. The weird thing is that he seemed to not understand my meaning of the word, not until I used E-ther to "correct" mysellf.
But most likely I misused the word altogether in a sentence

I would fault the customer there - E-ther and I-ther pronunciations are generally considered interchangeable in English... I don't think there are "rules" about when one gets used vs. the other.

My example above wasn't intended to say one was correct and the other not, rather that I personally use both pronunciations!

@raphjd

Actually, the use of the word to describe a female human can be re-defined by "society" long before any legislative body gets around to it! And word "definitions" come from common use, not legislatures!

To wit:

• Actors used to be male, as there was Actress for women... no more: they're all Actors
• Literal (literally) used to mean one thing (as opposed to "figuratively"), but now it means BOTH - because people came to use the phrase incorrectly so much ("I am literally sweating my balls off here!" - I don't think so!)

@Kekkaishi

E-ther vs I-ther pronunciation for me is use-case:

"You can E-ther have cake or ice cream, but not both"

vs.

"No, I didn't like that move all that much I-ther"

There I go - screwing up the English language again! My middle-school English teacher (who almost failed me!) would be so proud! LOL

@Kowmei

We are "taught" by our mass media (whether porn, or billboard advertising, or whatever) that there are certain things we must prefer...

• smooth twinks
• hairy hunks
• chiseled torsos
• long hair
• tattoos

Personally, I find many of those turn-offs (a small tattoo is fine, but covered in tats? not my thing: even studios I normally collect, I'll pass on, for example, Chris Damned... I'm sure he's a lovely man in person, but I'm no more attracted to his over-tatted body than I am to Roseanne Barr's!)

That doesn't make me judgemental - I've long held that gay "sexual tastes" are a "rainbow of fruity flavors"!

I like watching twinks have sex - but I like 'em even more as they age into their late 20's! (I hear Helix's Jessie Montgomery is considering a comeback! I'd LOVE to see that! Even if his costars would likely be literally half his age! LOL (No, not quite really half his age - Jessie came to Helix in 2012. If you ASSUME he was 18 then, he's 28 now... but still, that's close enough to 30 for me! LOL)

But can someone please tell me why ALL "daddies" shown in gay porn have to have hairy chests & beards? (one exception: LeGrand Wolf - tho he does have a hairy chest)

As much as "twinks" and "daddies" are the hot thing now, in my youth, the "gay norm" was guys with mustaches and hairy chests! Eww for me, then and now!

Not trying to hijack the conversation tho - I think you're attracted to who you're attracted to by a "matrix" of inputs - some environmental, some biological, some social.

Also, hearkening back to the original post: I do NOT believe homosexuality is caused by a lack of a loving father figure in childhood. While that may be a part, I've known plenty of 100% straight men who had issues with their fathers!

IMHO, more gays had issues with their fathers growing up - not because their fathers were "turning them gay", but because their fathers were uncomfortable with their gay sons! (not having a close relationship to your father didn't make you gay - rather, being gay caused you to have a lesser relationship with your father... and in as much as you were a kid then, that's on your father, not you!)

@Kowmei
Faith gives many people strength - sometimes profound strength! I appreciate and applaud that...

But leaning on your faith and using that strength to make it through grueling cancer treatments is one thing... using your faith to storm the Capitol so you can keep "your chosen one" in power is totally another...

Again, while I didn't say it in these words before: Faith and Religion are a double-edged sword. It can be used for Good and for Evil equally as easily!
