In my head I heard Gerard Butler in "300" when I read that.

@thor9023 said in upload ratio help:

@frostycab yeah about that, I might just keep it running till I reach like 10.0 ratio something absurdly high

While I wouldn't say not to do it, there was a discussion somewhere in the forums a long time ago about how much is too much when it comes to ratios.

There were some well though out arguments in there, but I seem to remember the best practice was agreed to be that while "artificial" methods like seedboxes give you a boost, once you've got a healthy download buffer then enjoy that and just seed normally. This shares seeding more effectively with other users who do also need to maintain their own ratios.

For example, I have a ratio of 1.172 right now. That means I have a download buffer of over 53TB. That represents about 40% of all my downloads over the last 17 years. If you look at it another way, if I keep up the same average amount of downloading and never upload so much as a single byte that buffer would last me another 7 years before I drop to my minimum 0.8. As such, there's no real benefit to putting effort into boosting my ratio.

Like I said, there's nothing stopping you going for the record if you like, but in reality there's not much point in chasing ratio just for the sake of it.

Part rant, part seeking advice form the mods on this one.

The sheer number of "collections" that aren't really collections is just getting out of hand IMO. Just now I looked at the torrent list and the most recent upload is this pile of unknown random crap (which may be good but I'm not even going to bother checking to find out!):

Now please don't get me wrong here. Not really being an uploader myself I do appreciate it when people upload to the site, but there are so many dumps of completely random files with no meaningful titles or descriptions that I've become really hesitant about grabbing a lot of them. In the above torrent for example, it is described as nothing more than "Personal selection gay video's" which tells us nothing, and even the 5 pics don't help much.

The site rules state "A COLLECTION is a group of files that have a well-defined common theme." This rule seems to be routinely disregarded. You don't have to look for long to find things like "Selection of bareback videos" or "Stuff from my hard drive." Where is the theme to these? "Bareback" is not a theme, it's a category. "Chaturbate vids from July 23" is not a theme. "UK/US Twinks" is not a theme. Some of these uploads can be enormous and have hundreds of files in them.

To my mind, a theme is something specific and defining. A collection should be things such as a bunch of vids from a studio, or featuring a specific performer or sex on a boat or SOMETHING that can tie them together.

I'm interested in what other members opinions are, and what standpoint the mods would take if I (and everyone else) started reporting them all (because there are a hell of a lot of them!) Are you all happy to put up with them, or should we all be hitting the report button multiple times every day? I have no interest in restricting the amount of stuff added to the site, but I can't help but feel it's about time that we all stop accepting the poor-quality, non-curated mountains of spam that we have to sift through to find the gems. This site, like any other, is only ever going to be as good as what's put on it, and I can't help feeling that we've all just accepted the crap for too long, allowing it to become prolific.

Once, just once I'd like to see you take a second to genuinely think if you're posting to the wrong sub-forum.

@pupkinvasya PUPPY PRODUCTIONS!!! Well done!

There's no such thing as bad publicity...

@lololulu19 I'm pretty sure your problem is that you believe that you are entitled to gay content wherever you go. More than one guy in a stream doesn't mean you're going to get gay action, just as having 2 girls in a stream doesn't mean you'll get lesbian action.

Unless they've actually advertised that they'll be doing anything together then no, you shouldn't be pissed off, but just being in a stream together promises nothing. You would also do well to remember that it's not just guys who watch these streams, and sometimes the content creators are making content for women. The fact that gay guys might watch is just a possible route to additional revenue. If gay guys are watching that doesn't mean the streamers are obliged to provide the type of content they want to see.

@medicc Sadly the loss of their defining identity is not limited to EV. Southern Strokes used to be very similar to BareTwinks with a very American feel to it, but now it's obviously all shot in Eastern Europe and exhibiting the same sets and feel as BoyFun. BareTwinks itself has done the same. Young Bastards has gone almost exclusively South American now.

I don't know if it's a pandemic-related shift in the industry, a financial decision, demand driven or just coincidence, but many of the major studios have made a very noticeable change to what they're producing, with much of it becoming formulaic copy/paste scenes. As you say, they're all just churning out new things every few days with little thought to staying "on-brand."

@zagor Sorry, I don't know, but does this really need 2 posts?

@di3di3di3 Have you hit the reseed button?

@xoxogay A good uploader will usually include thumbnails for each video with large collections, sometimes in their own folder so you can preview the content at a fraction of the size of the full download. I'm fortunate that I have good enough speeds to be able to keep my ratio fairly steady even with the large collections, but I think this should be a thing for all collections with more than, for example, 20 videos.

@john32123666 Thanks for the response, but I think you might have misunderstood my question.

I'm curious about how much people get paid for gay porn, and if there's an overall difference between tops and bottoms.

For example, I'd like to know what a relatively new performer might earn for a scene against a studio's star performers. I'm thinking of people like Kyle Ross (RIP) who was a Helix exclusive model and became synonymous with the brand.

Then you have guys like Daniel Hausser, Austin Avery, Dakota Lovell.... They spread themselves around various studios and are obviously in demand, but is this down to low pay and the need to shoot as many scenes as they can?

Also, is there a difference in pay-scales between top, bottom and vers guys? Do performers earn more for fucking or being fucked, or is it entirely down to there looks and fanbase? I would imagine that they would be able to expect more for doing certain things like fisting. Would you expect to be paid the same for a 1 on 1 scene as you would for letting 10 tops take turns on you? And if so, what sort of numbers are we talking about?

@iridium85 Didn't you post this exact same question just 6 days ago?

@Yuanpiepie Might I humbly suggest you brush up on searching using wildcards? See if you can spor what I did here...

Turns out.. I was right!

Based on previous offerings I'd say this is unlikely, but I'll play along. Statistically it's got to happen eventually...

...but not today, it seems.

Congratulations on citing an article in the belief that it 100% supports your argument, but not bothering to even read the whole paragraph your provided. You waste your time looking for a law firm website to back you up, and then don't even read it properly. "...it remains an open question whether copyright protection extends to pornographic movies deemed obscene by the trier of fact."

Of course, as usual you've done exactly what the damn Freedom Fairies always do and forget that there is a whole wide world out there beyond the county line. Please check this link to see why everyone rolls their eyes every time you come within a mile of this subject.

@john32123666 in some countries, they execute homosexuals.

Once again, this isn't just a simple red herring, nor is it even a school of herring. It's akin to Jesus and the feeding of the 5 thousand with the number of herring you bring to the table.

@lololulu19 said in My position on torrenting gay porn.:

In some countries, they have a senile, bribe taking, influence peddling, document stealing, ice cream licking, hair sniffing pedophile with dementia as president.

The site already has a P&D cesspool where your type of humour seems appreciated. I know you try and throw these lines in ever so often to try and appeal to your like-minded countrymen, but do you really think it does anything to make you seem more credible to anyone else? Try and keep it there and stay on the <<<FUCKING TOPIC>>> for once in your bloody life.

@lololulu19 said in My position on torrenting gay porn.:

I suggest that anybody who believes that DMCA applies to gay porn, should LEAVE this site, because that is what this site is!

Not going anywhere, sorry. Feel free to leave yourself if you like though. Just write to these guys and I'm sure they'll help. Do you want a hand with packing?

@lololulu19 said in My position on torrenting gay porn.:

There should be a CHECKBOX when joining this site that says:
"DO YOU BELIEVE THAT SHARING TORRENTS OF GAY PORN IS ILLEGAL?" and if the person checks YES, then their membership should be denied and they should redirected to the Disney Channel - where they will sue your ass in a second if you ever share any of THEIR content.

Are you ever going to accept that whatever law you think supports not just this but any argument is not universal? You keep doing this, finding one lawyer who weakly backs up your assertions, forgetting that the law they might refer to doesn't apply anywhere else. It cannot be applied globally. Quoting something from a law firm in Detroit does not mean that anyone in the UK, Egypt, China, India or anywhere else gives a damn about it because it doesn't matter to any of them. That firm could probably come out with truckloads of laws that don't even apply outside of Michigan, let alone the rest of the US, but you still 100% believe that you've won your case.

The issue of obscenity is the other problem. You haven't defined it. If you've tried in the past then it almost certainly didn't pass the same test I just brought up. I think you have a basic misunderstanding of the difference between "the law" and beliefs and values.

I have a question. Have you ever downloaded pirated films, music, books, software or anything else? Please don't try to be clever and lie because nobody will believe you. Do you not think your statement above should apply to those sources too? After all, you're not going try and argue that those things aren't covered by DMCA, are you?

I would like to finish by saying that in the case of this post I'm strangely proud of you. Unlike many of your more controversial posts you have at least returned to try to engage with responses rather than simply stride into the room and leave a steaming turd on the floor before walking out and watching from the window while everyone loudly complains about how much it stinks. So yeah, points for that.
