I like it, especially the main index pane (strip) that stays frozen at the top of the page, even when one scrolls down.

One might take a look at font colour vs. its background:  For example, at the Forum page for "all unread topics," I get what's pasted in below.  The text below "Gaytorrent.ru Forum" wants to read, "Pages: [1] 2 3 … 117" but note how "Pages: [1]] and "…" fade almost completely into the background. This should be just a minor tweak.

As for font size, I commend you for not following the current web design trend of enormous fonts.  My bank, for example, tells me my balance in a font that is 6 cm high!   I think the current font sizes on the site are just fine.  Members can be reminded that pages can grow (or shrink) with browser controls (e.g., "Cntrl" & mouse wheel).

Thank you to all admins and moderators for their hard work!

The guys in "straight" porn are better-looking now than several years ago as the industry responds to what audiences want.  I did some porn direction/production in the 1990's, and we generally put the younger and/or better-looking guys in "gay" scenes because the main audience for "straight" porn was "straight" men, and they didn't want to feel inadequate by seeing a very muscled (or trim) guy with a huge cock.

Audiences are different today; more women watch "straight" porn and they want good-looking men.  Also, there are a lot more men exploring same-sex attraction that are more comfortable watching "straight" porn than "gay" porn.

Note:  I use quotation marks for "straight" and "gay" because those labels don't apply to models making porn:  Lots of guys with very little attraction to other guys make "gay" porn, and many guys who would be considered "gay" by most definitions make "straight" porn.  More than once I've had guys on set getting their dicks fluffed before a shoot by their boyfriend before fucking a girl–as well as the opposite.

I enjoy sucking, and I really like the sensation of a cum explosion in my mouth–maybe because it makes me think that I've done something right.  I'm not into the taste of cum, so I'll usually swallow quickly to get rid of it.

I think it is because of the way the tracker counts "downloading torrents:"  If you have downloaded a torrent with many files, and you have only selected some of them to download, your torrent client may show this torrent as 100% completed.  But, the gt.ru tracker sees this as only partially downloaded, and this torrent will count it as one of your 15 allowed downloading torrents.  I sometimes have the same problem.

The way I fix this is to look at older torrents that I have downloaded this way (only some of the files, not all) that also have very few seeders (so I won't be uploading much to them).  I then delete the torrent, but keep the files (if I want), and then it won't count against the allowed maximum.  It might take a few minutes for the gt.ru tracker to recognise this and update your total.

I hope this helps your situation.  Bonne chance!

Brother Raphjd pretty much nailed it, although there are few complexities to the wiring diagram:

The 10th Amendment to the US Constitution (1791) says the Federal (US) government only has the powers assigned to it by the Constitution; all other powers belong to individual state governments.  Some applications of this are clear:  Only the Federal government can raise an army and declare war on a foreign power, but it cannot set the speed limit on motorways within a state.  There's often controversy on how this concept is applied…for example, several years ago the Federal department of transportation did not want states to have motorway speed limits higher than 70 miles/hr (113 km/hr), but it couldn't do this by a law, so it said there would no Federal funds for motorway construction in states that had higher speed limits.  The states all dropped their speed limits.

At the congressional level, while the Senate seems more "powerful" than the House of Representatives, all legislation about spending money from the Federal budget has to start in the House of Representatives.

And then there are some interesting exceptions:  San Francisco (California) has a single government for both city and county functions.  Carrying that farther, the District of Columbia (not a state, but sort of like one) has a single government that does city, county, and state functions.  But since it's not a "state," it does not have voting representation in the Congress, even though its residents pay full Federal taxes every year.  As you can imagine, this causes much discussion.

This is more than you wanted to read, but since I'm trapped at home, I tend to type a lot 

@bearbearbear:

I stopped reporting duplicates because most of the time, they weren't being removed and I wasn't being given credit for reporting them.  I figure the mods are busy with higher priority tasks.

I've occasionally received a PM showing that I've received a point credit, but most of the time not.  Perhaps the moderator looks at point bonus total (nearly 6000) and assumed, correctly, that I don't need the points.

I do know that the duplicate-removal process works:  I reported a duplicate a couple of days ago, and that torrent did indeed disappear–and the older one was "promoted" as a retread for users to download.  I didn't receive a "point bonus" note, which is fine with me.

The "report a duplicate" feature on each torrent page allows users to report these things–I don't know how many reports are made, and whether our Gentle Moderators are able to keep up with them.

If I see a duplicate, I'll report it, and also make a comment to that effect with a link to the original torrent.  Many users will seed the original.

@lololulu19:

Nobody even uses screen savers anymore, so there is no good reason for SCR files to exist. Anybody posting an SCR file should have all their previous uploads "examined"

Unfortunately, .scr also stands for a Windows script file–meaning it's essentially an executable file (like .exe) but it will bypass most anti-virus checks or even a dialog box asking "Do you really want to run this file?"  They are super-dangerous and downright malicious.  People who upload these should be permanently banned from the site.

In an ideal world, the gt.ru software would block any torrent containing such files--but I can imagine that putting in a patch like that would be time consuming and risky.  Software is often like a house of cards:  Fixing one piece of it can have disastrous results on the rest.

There's also a grey area when some films get released under different names by parallel studios.  For example, Irrésistibles (Clair Production, 2006) is the same as Bareback Wonderland (Raw Entry Club, 2006).  If an uploader posts one of these, and the other one is already here (same format, same size), one could argue whether or not it's a duplicate.  Sometimes if I see this happen, I'll post in the comments section that the film was also released under the other title, so people don't download the same thing again.  This can get a snarky comment from an uploader insisting that it's not a duplicate, but I can handle that.

A good source for checking if something has been released under multiple names is https://gayeroticvideoindex.com.  It's also a good resource to find other films from one of your favourite models, even if he appears under multiple names.

@leeniedo:

I am just frustrated that the person I responded to has posted 101 times over the past several days. It really screws up the forums.

I totally agree.

But back to the original question:  I tend not to notice the colour of those parts…I'm more a "taste" tester.

@Sibewolf:

No travel plan. But I am going back to school in Wuhan next month. I've to contonue my studies  :cry2:

Ironically, Wuhan might be one of the safest places regarding coronavirus:  Many people were infected and have antibodies, and also the government is very strict with monitoring and control of people.  I am not comfortable with all of the steps taken by the Chinese government, but they do seem to have been effective.

Many people in the United States object to government controls and disease prevention strategies–and the result is terrible.  I am currently in California, where the infection rate continues to increase.  I am not optimistic about the future.

You have my best wishes for your good health and successful studies!

@herbert967:

Anyone have any travel plans after Covid is over-ish and countries start opening up?

Would you go back to travelling? hesitant to travel?  Can't wait?  What do you think will happen in our new world when it comes to travel.

I personally can't wait to travel again, I would take more precautions in airplanes, but not sure if I would travel wearing a mask the whole time.

I had lots of plans for 2020 that evaporated…and yes, I want things to get back to "normal" soon, but that's not going to happen until there's a vaccine.  I'm not holding my breath--we've been waiting almost 40 years for a vaccine against HIV, and we still don't have one.

I live mostly in the US right now, and I'm quite sure that there's going to be a resurgence of Covid19 here as a result of premature "reopening."  Things will get locked down again, and perhaps in early 2021 things will begin to normalise.  We'll still need social distancing, and air travel will likely still involve masks...and I can't imagine ten hours or more with a mask on.  I used to travel between London and Johannesburg quite often, and I won't do that if I have to be masked.  I also don't know what the air travel industry will be like after almost a year of virtual shutdown.  It's not going to be pretty.

I hope I'm wrong in my predictions...I have family in UK, Switzerland, Australia...all over the place...and I very much like visiting them.  I echo your sentiment that "I can't wait," but I'm going to have to.  It sucks...and not in the good way.

@herbert967:

my bad, just checking it out now!

• What do most guys do with their pubes (shave, trim, let grow)?

• What do you like for other guys to have (shaved, trimmed, or grown out)?

This topic come up occasionally. Some studios (I'm not sure which ones) don't want their copyrighted images hosted on the gt.ru server, and they ask that they be taken down.

Note that there's a difference between images in a torrent posting, and the videos themselves:  Images in a listing are actually contained on the gt.ru server, whereas the videos in a torrent are specifically not on a gt.ru server–they are on individual members' computers, hence the term "peer-to-peer" file sharing.

For advice on a medical issue like this, I suggest getting a professional medical opinion based on a direct examination.  Your general practitioner could do such an exam, or refer you to a specialist.  If you don't have access to health care, visiting a free clinic specialising in sexual health issues could be helpful, even if this isn't sex-related.

There's Campus Glory Hole stuff here at https://www.gaytorrent.ru/details.php?id=4ef80ac14f2338673f627acd8bc2072f5a6fdf4c1816be3a and https://www.gaytorrent.ru/details.php?id=5730a53784ddaa793f627acd8bc2072fe1661e62a9f2fa23 , but there's no "fake female" involved.  These might be real gloryhole films.

"Ungloryhole" (search at https://www.gaytorrent.ru/browse.php?search=ungloryhole&incldead=0&inname=1&infn=1&orderby=added&sort=desc ) has cameras on both sides of the gloryhole, and a girl who "baits" a guy into getting sucked.  These are all posed, of course, with the models being either "I want to get into porn" newbies, or guys who have done other porn and are getting past their prime.  Many of them do a passable job of coming across as straight, if that's your thing.

A gay vegan friend of mine says he only eats meat if it's still attached.

I don't care about smooth or hairy, but I like it to be natural.  I don't like natural hair being shaved:  It leaves stubble, razor burn, and IMHO looks weird.

In the organ (!) loft of a church…during a service.

@jkronfuss:

Does it matter that match? At least now it can be controlled.

I think it does matter.  If people who believe baseless conspiracy theories about HIV are unchallenged, they can believe baseless conspiracy theories about other things…like 5G mobile towers cause coronavirus, or the Earth is flat.  Some of these are silly and harmless (like the flat Earth), while others can cause harm in society.
