As you look over the categories and winners, do you have a favorite? Feel free to share what awards made you the happiest -- or perhaps one where you would have chosen differently.

@fingerlak Over two hours! Thanks for sharing. Now, I will eat my shorts.

@roryisms I think it's sweet that you would miss having children, but for those of us whose paternal instincts are not strong enough to adopt or surrogate, etc., there are usually some very satisfying alternatives.

Many in this group have nieces or nephews with whom they can spend time regularly, or at least on holiday get-togethers. As an only child, I don't have that option, but I have friends and neighbors with kids, and that works fine for me.

@ricky I remember the 10x too, and somehow missed the point that it was for a server.

While my ratio is solid by a few TB, I sent in a modest # of Euros for that promotion, because I realized that I receive a lot of, um, benefits from my ongoing time here.

Of course, a lot of donations help individuals keep their ratio at the proper level. But even if a member has a great ratio, I'd encourage those with the financial ability to donate from time to time.

I think I'm due again soon. And as I come from a marketing background, I would gently suggest that the Home Page promotion be updated from "New Year's."

Perhaps a "Spring Fling" or other ideas...!

@ricky Agree with Ricky there's a strong chance of a previous downloader receiving your Comment in his Messages, and reporting it right away. There is really no benefit to identifying a dupe in the Comments section, although members sometimes do. Use the Report Duplicate button instead to protect your discovery -- and chances of being first/50 points.

@birdsong While I can't offer a straight website with a picture-forward layout like here at GTRU, I would direct you to rarbg.to -- it is free and has a very large offering of porn -- 90 percent straight -- all marked by a pink "category square" in front of each upload listing.

It does provide a film-strip preview image of porn uploads by clicking to a related site. Important: You must have an ad blocker to shield against the many irritating pop-up windows, and a VPN so you don't receive Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) complaints.

Lots of non-porn media from all the pay-cable networks there, as well...!

@beardycub86 Jock straps? Cock rings? Tight denim pants? Hankies?

Nothing more frustrating than a poorly worded topic ! ! !

@ricky "Amen" to all the advice you passed along, and the Satanic references!.

To drive the point home (clears his throat)... "ALL DRIVES EVENTUALLY FAIL."

And as keeping a lot of TB of your desktop computer drive will slow it down, alternative choices include "the cloud," and twin external hard drives.

Per other threads, some clouds actually scan your uploads for, um, "inappropriate images." So, if you haven't actually seen all the pics in the huge file you just unzipped, an element of risk exists. I believe another member mentioned a cloud that promised complete privacy, but I don't recall the name, sorry.

Your post about 8TB of endangered content struck home, as I just bought two 8TB externals yesterday. I now have six 8TB externals -- twins to back-up my erotica, TV, and films. While this is genuinely expensive, I feel (especially for the films) that I'm collecting great and often obscure movies, in high definition, that I can pass along to two friends if I croak.

If you go with externals, hopefully you can get by with one twin set of 8TBs. It would run you over $200, but when you think of the time you've spent collecting exactly what you want, consider it a gift to yourself.

And you may get other suggestions here for alternatives. But as Ricky preached, get your 8TB of material off your failing drive NOW, and into or onto something new. Good luck!

You might know Lil Nas X, a queer black rapper, from his unlikely collaboration with Billy Ray Cyrus on the country-rap hybrid Old Town Road, which set a record 19 weeks at #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 in 2019.

Now, Lil Nas X has released a groundbreaking (and that's hard to do today) song/video, Montero (Call Me by Your Name).

Partly as a result of Covid restrictions, Lil Nas X plays every character in the video, which sets a new standard for mainstream erotic queerness. Of more importance, the song speaks directly to the otherness he felt growing up, and the message is being heard and accepted by diverse listeners.

Read more about it and watch the incredible video on your best screen. Hope you enjoy!

I just wanted to thank cherokeepass and Ricky for their time and effort on this Link project.

Sorting out what needs an IMDB link, and where to categorize these uploads on GTRU is the start. Then, all the "untangling" of, say, two films with very similar names, searching for images and subtitles -- it's a lot of work!

In the end, all GTRU users will have a better experience when determining if an upload is "complete," and right for their tastes. Kudos!

After reading her ignorant posts, very glad the courts ruled against her lawsuit -- and awarded court costs to those she sued, as well.

I should have added that the Forum has been experiencing some technical difficulties of late, as you described.

When I get the 404 screen or blank page, I have found a degree of success by waiting a moment or two, then hitting the back button and repeating the command, or at times refreshing the page does the trick.

These issues will be cleared up (reasonably) soon, I am (reasonably) sure.

Hi Mode,

Welcome -- and there's never a question too "noob!"

There are several ways to get to all those yummy torrents. Right here, see the eight icons at top left of this page: the last one is Torrents.

Click on it and you're returned to www.gaytorrent.ru . Click "Torrents," and from the drop-down menu you can Browse a magical page of images from the newest upload on top, or narrow the field by using the Search function and entering the specific key word(s) that interest you.

Enjoy your time here, share that love you mentioned, and don't be afraid to seek out the Help Desk if you encounter more complex issues. Cheers!

@ricky said in Uploading many M/M romance novels?:

a particular theme (for example, 5 eBooks involving St. Patrick's Day, perhaps named Lips Of Clover Collection).

Ricky, you need to get the Lips of Clover collection trademarked as soon as possible, before Hallmark or Harlequin steals it from you.

You may know Leslie Jordan from the TV and film parody of Southern life through a gay prism, Sordid Lives. You might recognize him from recurring roles in American Horror Story, seasons Coven, Roanoke, and 1984.

Check his Wiki page, and you might know him from dozens of character roles, many of them pink-tinged over the decades, even as movies and TV were still evolving into acceptance.

He's a senior queen who spills lots of tea in this interview with Anderson.Cooper. If you need a lift in your day, check this out. Now, doesn't the world seem a tiny bit brighter?

@freakmagnet So, for thread readers asking, "What is Braniac?", it is a timed "uncover and match the pairs of tiles" game. I think the grid was 6 by 6 (?), which would mean 18 matched pairs and you cleared the board.

It was a VERY addictive game, as demonstrated by FM's and my slavish devotion.

I recall speaking with MrMazda or mgr about the Arcade years ago, so perhaps this is the key to its whereabouts. There were, perhaps, about a hundred different games, all simple and nostalgic. Wouldn't it be fun to have them back again?

FreakMagnet wants a chance to better my score in Brainiac -- he had the high score in dozens of games, I had just that one...

I do wish those old-school games could be restored (with my one high score, of course).

If you enjoy retro single-player games, Ricky and all, I'm sorry you missed the Arcade, perhaps there is hope yet???

Bengalis, Have you been watching Japanese porn non-stop in the five years since your original observation? You must be exhausted -- in the best way!

Seriously, I love Japanese guys and their sweet, sweet porn as well. I hope I live to see the day the Japanese government relaxes their laws and does away with the genital masking.

Then, I wish their "porn culture" would move away from those sunglasses-as-disguises, and finally, stop using so much lube that it causes "strings" to develop each time they pull away during sex.

And to your other point, Korean and Chinese men/porn are great too, though the K-porn suffers from some modesty issues, as well.

Welcome Noely H, always nice to see someone dive into the boards.

You can share ideas from politics to home decorating, talk about music, TV and videos, and get helpful tips from chaps like the one above.

My dad was born in the Chi suburbs -- Oak Lawn, so Go Cubs -- or White Socks?

Hi, Cub2263. I'm impressed (and slightly envious) that you're on a fitness journey with such commitment that you're considering an OF account to document your road to success.

Do fitness-forward OF accounts exist? Yes, you'll find some here if you do a deep-dive search in the GTRU upload history. Some other considerations (based on feedback for OF threads here and other sharing sites):

• A small number of subscribers would be happy with an OF account big on workouts, and light on strip-downs.

• Many more subscribers want OF accounts to lean into the sexy vids, whether during the exercise, or a post workout flex and jerk-off.

• The most-common reason I see for OF subscribers ending their memberships: With cost as a measure, the content was too little, or lacking in serious eroticism -- or both.

Hope this helps.
