@eobox91103 ok I can't see a pattern.

Among those that vanished today:

• American BBC orgy bareback
• Hot hypno videos
• Horny Hung Straight Passenger Fucks Rideshare Driver

This morning they happened to be on the main page, ie. recent & popular.

None of them struck me as "studio porn" or especially copyrighted / defended.

I opened their tabs, got called away, came back hours later, they had vanished.

Whose torrents benefit, by staying up, when other torrents are disappeared?

Is hypothetical Censor Karen protecting a particular uploader or porn studio, by killing the competition - killing anything else that grabs people's attention?

There's hasn't been a pattern this time which is why everyone has been thrown off and suspicious its just a random member.

The freeleeches getting removed gave it away that they are just trimming off the top every few hours.

Whoever is uploading single OF scenes and giving it stupid names like "Beefy stud fucks again" need to stop! I am sick of begging people in the comment section to ID the guys in the videos.

People aren't going to put MORE effort into uploads that get deleted lol. This is about as good as it'll get sadly unless this ends.

Even when it comes to the massive deletions of torrents, its not ALL new ones, just usually the top of the list for a few for a hours a day. Sometimes freeleech torrents that are bumped to the top get caught up in it all.

@blablarg18 Sadly no normal members have all the answers.

We're just kind of watching it happen and all have our theories.

Unfortunately due to the nature of the site and these being (legitimate or not) DMCA claims we aren't really allowed in the "discussion". We just see the effects it has.

The freeleech being targeted is interesting and weird for sure.

Even with my ratio I had to giggle when I saw a 267 gig torrent uploaded. of course it was removed. I wanted some of it but no file naming, no thumbnails lol.

I'm guessing there's nothing to be done but hope the reporting dies down again, if not I guess just whatever files the reporters decide have the fortune of sticking around.

Another funny note, I do have the straight category on. if its MG i think it's being done through an account lol, because by default straight isn't on for every member.

There are full site rips of one of MGs biggest studios for the last 6 months just plainly there.

@krad3434 I beginning to this that the site has been giving a blanket takedown notice so mod(s) are just removing anything they come across?

There's a straight OF torrent that has been up longer than most OF torrents. You don't see it unless you have the straight torrent section unhidden.

It seems to be heavily based on day of the week and time of day when the take downs happen.

I can't seem to figure out if there was a giant blanket takedown notice given, but seeing as how freeleeches are being removed years later I figure the fansite category would just be removed with a new rule added if that were the case. This site does have a do not post list.

I have even with the massive seemingly random takedowns noticed proper dupes and rule breaks removed, but usually those pages mention where the other torrent is vs the "no longer available" the others say.

Keep in mind, the rapid takedowns we're mainly talking about aren't from some of the niche studios.
There are a handful of studios per category and clip sites that have ALWAYS taken their things down within a few hours and from ALL sites not just this one.

What we're talking about is a higher number of mass reports towards fansites that has grown into random take downs of anything new for 6-12 hour periods per day.

@therock07 Thanks for the data.

I'm guessing a lot of the reporting is offloaded to other companies. I think the days are inconsistent because a bunch of files were just removed and its Friday.

I imagine most of their work is for streaming sites, so its fascinating this one is targeted so much.

Ive actually been purposefully not mentioning the other sites so they dont have to go through this crap lol. I'm highly suspicious its a member. Even crawlers can't identify some of the files that are removed because now things that aren't just fansite uploads are being removed, and just as quickly.

That sites already way less active upload-wise, it couldn't possibly survive whatever is going on here.

And based on the take downs I've seen its not scanning the images because some people have simply just taken twitter profile images and not screenshots from OF videos and still gotten removed in minutes.

And that doesn't even speak to all of the non-OF videos that are also being removed at random due to being bumped to the top.

My ratio is fine, currently I actually would like the files uploaded but unless someone actually does something about the reports its pointless lmao.

Like I can't fathom who can have the rights to enough files to get rid of the following at the same time minutes ago: 3 separate OF creators (2 managed to finish because they were under 10 gigs, one hasn't even been removed, the 3rd was 36 and was taken down in about 10 minutes), a black porn actor who has worked for like several of the studios in the torrent including ancient f*ckermate ones that didn't even come in 1080 and a half rip of a defunct site from like 2012 lol.

I'm curious if the free leeches being taken down is also hurting peoples chances to grow their ratio without seedboxes.

Grabbing freeleeches, even ones I had no interest in was how I had a decent ratio when I first started. Studio videos were like 1 gig or so, so it never hurt TOO much to grab.

Grabbing an OF you really want can easily be 10gb to like 120gb+ depending on the creator. I hadn't really considered that too much before.

@massafera
The porn sites are in a weird state, a lot of OF creators who stick to the SW profession eventually just move onto work with studios then eventually rentmen if they keep up with it once studios stop hiring them, unless they make their own studio or w.e.

Studios are mostly either in the giant conglomerate owned by M*ndgeek or niche and able to stay afloat with subscriptions and selling other products etc.

OF itself is teetering based on how Twitter ends up. So much fansite promotion is done through twitter that can't currently happen on ANY other social media site that it'll be interesting to see where this all goes. It doesn't help that it seems OF is hitting a saturation point. Some creators are hot but simply have shitty content lol, and try to nickle and dime for it with PPVs onto of subs and continued sub bonuses.

As for this site. I can't speak much to how things will go. Gay torrenting sites are scarce, especially compared to any other type of torrenting site lol. This is still one of the largest and most updated even with the ridiculous take downs.

We'll have to see whats done and whether or not this will be a one of or an annual end of year experience.

I hate to see we're losing people willing to share, but I'm guessing nothing will be done or whatever actions taken can't be spoken on.

I saw some content creators i was gonna sub to uploaded super early this morning and grabbed them, of course both files are gone, 75 gigs and 45 gigs, so people who don't have seedboxes or who haven't been here a LONG time, can't really grab those kinda file sizes anyhow.

Ive even been ripping some content creators that have been on sale but it's like why upload lol, i absolutely wouldn't do a low quality upload and probably spend time making screenshots and naming files, I'd be pissed to see it deleted in less than 12 hours.

I've never seem someone type whining online with the extra g and actually add to a conversation lmao, historically. Just an observation, it never ceases to amaze me.

Anyhow this is still all incredibly fascinating because I've noticed some reposts pop up with like 0 effort, and I can't even blame them because they probably guess "why put effort if it'll be taken down at random".

I'm not a member of any straight torrent sites like this but I wonder if any private ones are under this level of scrutiny.

Freeleech torrents vulnerability is definitely to do with them being bumped added to that list.

At this point with last year and the last few weeks, I don't think anyone who frequents the site isn't aware. I'm just curious if anything can be done.

Yeah this definitely sucks and seems worse than last year because not only are new things being snatched but some hard to find things are now being removed because someones being allowed to go on a takedown joyride.

@eobox91103
There are PLENTY of studios that are very on top of the removal of their files, the issue is, those are known and fairly consistent. I can think of at least one per non fansite category that is very much grab if you see it, on occasion the uploader will often warn as much in the description.

A key thing is, it's only during times like now with the excessive takedowns these are identified and removed within the hour. Fish and Chips lads (using a coded name lol) is one of the notoriously aggressive sites and even their things don't get taken down at this speed.

@roto13 People in thread are saying some older files are being taken down when bumped for freeleech but keep in mind, some of those may be simply having expiring free leech times. Try to browse by free leech time remaining to see which come and go from it.

@knoxguy89

To be honest, what can also happen is, it gets uploaded here, a few people snatched, it gets taken down, it gets uploaded to another torrent or site to share files, someone comes back here and sees its not up so tries to get ratio.

Since we know there's an issue with these excessive takedowns that aren't about whats IN the file, just that it is being uploaded, you aren't necessarily doing anything wrong in the upload, just that as this thread is describing there are excessive takedowns with incredibly inconsistent timing and inconsistent reporting.

I honestly wish I understood their goal because by the time people in the know enough to do direct rips with python scripts or anything else come in, people have already done more direct rips and uploaded to streaming sites, so its not as if they are stopping the content from being spread.
