@trebleforte:

Shower at gym if I'm working out in the morning;  shower at home if working out at night.

I'm the other way round.  In the morning I'm in more of a hurry and I can shower/shave/etc. much faster at home.

In the evening, I have more time, and at my gym there's lots of good sightseeing.  A few years ago they put in shower curtains to "provide privacy."  But the holes in them for the hangers are great for catching a peek at guys going in and out of their showers.  Also, if some guy wants to play, we're hidden from view 

One exception:  A few years back a friend of mine and I would work out together in the evenings…and we'd go back to my place to shower.  We did a bit more than just shower.  Sadly, he moved away.

Welcome, Stretcha!  I've visited your wonderful country many times and I love it there.  I have good friends in Brisbane, and I've done concerts in Sydney…even took time off to visit a "gentlemen's sauna" off Oxford Street and had a wonderful time.  (That was in 2006; I hope it's still there.)

I'd consider retiring there, but I'm now a US citizen and it's tough to get a a resident's visa.  So I'll just have to keep visiting!

@CanadaGreg:

If newbie were someone tripping over the dog in the dark, not knowing if he’ll bite or not.

Very clever.  You've doubtless heard about the agnostic dyslexic insomniac, who lies awake at night wondering whether or not there's a dog…

@Alos:

how can i make a torrent that i have already uploaded before show up again as a new one??

If it's been deleted off the system, you can start over again and it will show up as new.

If it's still on here, it would have to be "promoted" by a moderator and it would show up with with new torrents with the recycle symbol in front of it.  I don't know how the moderators decide which old torrents to promote/recycle.  With nearly 150,000 torrents on the tracker, they can't do this for all of them.  Perhaps a moderator will shed some light here.

Welcome to the site.

Here's a hint for helping out your share ratio even if you don't have anything to upload:  If a new torrent appears that has a lot of files in it (for example, https://www.gaytorrent.ru/details.php?id=b3dc381ba32f324d3f627acd8bc2072ff95efba5ce9fc970 ), and it still only shows one seeder, download the torrent and select just one or two of the files (even the smallest ones).  Those will download fairly quickly for you, and then you'll be the "source" of those files for many other downloaders.  You'll get a large ratio on that torrent, and it will help out your overall statistics.

By all means, share what you can! All uploads are appreciated.

When I upload "vintage" material that's low resolution and/or fuzzy and/or a clunkly film transfer, I include some screenshots (from VLC player) and tell people to look at them to judge whether they want the material.  Some folks expect everything to be in HD.  I rather like the look of older films…it reminds me of when I first saw them years ago.

@raphjd:

You can say pretty much whatever you want to ask for SPB, as long as it's honest.

OK, thanks.  I used to worry a lot about ratio and bonus points when I lived in the mountains and had a really slow connection.  Now I have high speed internet, and sometimes wonder if I should seed less so that others have more of a chance to improve their ratio…but that's probably a topic for another thread.

@raphjd:

HOWEVER, the request for seed bonus points must be honest.   If you are honest about asking for SBP then you won't run afoul of the rules.    I bring this up because there is a recent thread about a member who lied when asking for SBP.

At the risk of sounding like I tuned in late, what are the rules about asking for SBP?  Some torrenters are rather aggressive, others say inane things like "I seed 24/7 so SBP are much appreciated."  When I post a torrent, I sometimes say that I don't need any points.

I like to take pictures of good-looking guys in public–not nude, but a handsome face is a handsome face.  If it's a busy setting with lots of tourists around, you won't be noticed using a telephoto lens and taking the time to get the right photo.  And, since it's a public place, there's no worry about violating an "expectation of privacy."  It also makes for nice travel memories.

@p90:

I will poke the helpdesk with the changes

Depending who's at the help desk, can I poke too?

@seventhirty:

Um, clear as mud.   ;D

eobox, I'll send a few of my neighbourhood youngsters to your place for testing.

Thank you in advance!  BTW, I tried to reply to you off-line, but apparently I can only send messages to you if I'm on your "friends list."  So perhaps you could friend me.  (Sorry to other readers for an off-topic moment.)

Sometimes it isn't clear whether a guy is a youngblood or a twink, so people make their best guess.  It's ironic, though, that the category avatar for "Youngblood" shows a couple of guys that I'd probably call twinks.

I volunteer to do a personal inspection of any model to determine if he's a twink or youngblood 

31% "very kinky" here.  That surprised me, as I think of myself as rather vanilla.  Then again I've tried a lot of things once.

@cannonmc:

Netscape with tabs sounds good to me 

But wait…on the new Firefox, the tabs are more rounded!  And, they will, at times, disappear!  Isn't that just amazing and fantastic!?!?!?  I just can't wait to download and install this tremendous leap forward in interface design.  After all, current web practice (and it would seem, browser design) now emphasizes style over substance, form over content.

Move along, folks, there's nothing to see here….

@Jockscott:

So sick of seeing the same old stuff all the time.  Twinks, skaters, surfers, etc.  All preened, plucked and shaved.

I agree that most Czech "models" from the last ten years look like clones, and not always attractive ones at that.  But there's a lot of diversity on here.  You might enjoy Vintage material produced in the US in the late 1980's/early 1990's – the guys still have hair in all the right places.

@iniq:

Here's a screenshot of what I see.

I'm still having the same problem (even though I've checked the profile box to not show advertisements).  In fact, I get an even more hideous sight–see screenshot below.

Since the profile option isn't working for me, I now use the AdBlockPlus plug-in for my Firefox browser to suppress advertising from the gt.ru domain, and it works perfectly.  I'm not cheating the site out of advertising revenue, as I would never click on these ads anyway.

Some time back I donated to the site, and the banner advertisements went away (after I set my profile to hide them).  Now, they show up again–sometimes showing straight content.  (I respect everyone's preferences, but I don't really want to see female genitalia.)

Did the policy on suppressing advertisements change?  I can understand that perhaps I should be more current in my support of the site.  At the very least, perhaps advertisements could be tagged as gay/bi/straight, and users could opt-out/in for specific content.  An ad for a straight porn site isn't going to get a click from me.

Best wishes to all!

I had about a dozen torrents seeding, and then over the last day every one eventually stopped seeding and showed ""No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it" as tracker status in my client (uTorrent 3.2.3 under Windows XP).  I read this, and many other, help threads, checked my hosts file (everything was fine), looked into resetting my passkey, etc., etc., etc.

Then, I decided to just close my uTorrent client and then restart it.  Now everything is fine.  So, if you have this problem, try the simple stuff first.  I need to remember that myself…

Found one more….

Then there is this charming village in northwest Austria, which has its road signs stolen more often than any other place.

(The sign under the town name warns drivers that children are present and that they should slow down…literally, "please, not so fast.")
