Yeah I'm aware the site owner decided it.

However that doesn't answer the question of why he/she/they made this decision.

Nor does it answer the question of why he/she/they feel it necessary to keep their reasoning confidential, eyes only, black ops, no paper trail, nuclear launch codes, top secret, instead of telling us the users, who definitively feel that we deserve an answer, because yes while he/she/they may be the owner, we the users, are the very life blood that keeps this entire site alive.

Without us, there is 0 income to pay for anything related to maintaining this site, or if at all to line their pocket, & there is absolutely no content period. No one to upload, no one to download, no one to post stuff, no one to share stuff, no one to do anything, and no reason for the site to even exist at all.

Sure he/she/they could foot the bill to keep the site operational without any user generated income, but without any other users, what would really be the point? It would be the equivalent of an old western ghost town.

So I will say it again, I cannot fathom absolutely any reason why this decision needs to be such a closely guarded secret . Nor can I fathom why it can't be shared or explained to those of us who keep this sites blood flowing.

But whatever, by all means the owner can do whatever he/she/they want, as long as the site still has users. Up until there's none left, at which point there won't be anyone around to explain anything to, because it will be far, far to late, since they'll have all jumped ship to different sites. Like one with an owner who actually takes the time to communicate with their users as to why they make the choices they make, as well as consider user feedback, ideas, & needs, instead of ignoring them as if they don't exist.

I've made my point, therefore I have nothing left to say on this subject. Good day.

@DandyLion said in One post says this, but another say something else:

The first post you are referencing is left over from when we did have a request section.

There are reasons behind the scene that the request section was removed, but all those reasons were disclosed to staff and not intended for the general public.

I'm asking around to see if there is an alternate place for requests to go because recently people have been flooding different sections of the site with them. I will either update this post, or make a new thread when something is worked out.

We understand the frustration with the removal of requests since every staff member of the site started as a user but the request came from the top and we have to respect his wishes.

I really don't want to be an antagonizer.

However I am curious, and would like to ask who decided, and why they decided that their reasoning behind the removal of this spacific section of the site, that was obviously loved, and very widely used by us, the users of this site, who contribute to, as well as use, and in some small part make this site the community that it is, was removed?

I can understand if it's just the person who pays the bills, and hosts/manages the servers that this site runs on just up and decided to remove it, if that's the case. However I cannot wrap my head around, or understand why this person would deem it necessary to be so secretive about their reasoning or choice to remove the section from the site, and leave all of us users clueless, completely lost in the dark, scrambling, scattered, dazed, and confused.

I can't imagine it actually being something so absolutely sensitive in nature that it has to be treated as classified top secret, like some Government coverup.

Honestly what can possibly be so secretive about the reasoning behind removing it that you can't tell us why it was removed?

While it's sad to say, I do honestly believe that in the long run of things, the removal of the request section, as well as the decision to keep us the users in the dark, blissfully ignorant will end up hurting the site, and lead to it's decline just like so many other sites have for various other reasons, much like the site I left in favor of this one.

I truly hope that doesn't happen, as I've really come to enjoy this site, I even invested some money into it, not much, but some, and would hate to see it go.

So I've seen a few posts that say there is no more requests section anymore for whatever silly reason.

But then I found another locked post that says this isn't the place for torrent requests, that's for the requests section, which you can only see after you've made 3 posts somewhere.

I'm pretty sure I've made 3 posts somewhere on this forum by now. If not then I know for sure this will be the 3rd.

So if it's true there is no more requests section... Why not?
Why was it removed?
Where do we make requests at now then?

Or are we just not supposed to ask anyone if they have videos of porn star X?

If we can't ask anyone if they have videos of porn star X, then what are we supposed to do to find videos of porn star X, especially if there aren't any videos of them on the site?
Are we just supposed to leave this gay porn torrent site, and go join another one that lets us actually make requests to find what we want instead?

Cause without a requests section there is no way for Person A, who is looking for videos of Porn Star X to let anyone know they are even interested in, or looking for videos of Porn Star X. Then Person B who has videos of Porn Star X dosent know that anyone, especially Person A is even interested in seeing videos of Porn Star X, so they never upload them.

Then no one benefits, because Person A never gets to see the videos of Porn Star X that Person B has.

But fingers crossed the other post was right and the request section isn't gone, I just couldn't see it because I hadn't made 3 posts. But somehow I doubt this to be the case.

@raphjd so how, or where do we make requests for videos of spacific people/models/stars without a request section then?

I just found this post after spending 15 mins looking for a request section, like the other site I'm a member of has, but unfortunately I don't use that site much because they no longer require a minimum ratio so it's gone down hill. Someone had made a post asking, and then someone linked to this thread.

But now idk what to do to find videos of a star I wanna see who seemingly isn't on this site.

Any suggestions?

In order for my upload to start counting do I have to download the entire torrent file before it will start counting any of my upload?

Or will it still count my upload if I only download the parts I want and not the rest?

Because so far this is showing I haven't uploaded anything yet, not even on measly kb, despite the fact that I keep seeing some short connections and very short and very slow upload speeds happening.

Please let me know.

Also what is the quickest and easiest way to get my upload ratio increased?

I really wanna get my ratio fixed asap, I would donate if I could do less than 5 euros because I only have $4.88 USD right now. So that option is out.

I'm kind of familiar with the seed bonus as far as how you earn it, and what you can spend it on.

However I don't understand why one torrent will cost,
55.783 Seed bonus Points per day (2.324 points per hour)

Meanwhile another torrent will cost,
1531.463 Seed bonus Points per day (63.811 points per hour).

Can anyone explain why they cost different amounts?
What is the amount based on/determined by?
Or does the system randomly assign a Seed Bonus cost that isn't really based on anything?

Thanks for any insight you can provide.

LoL no. And I've never seen or heard from him again.

I know that's why I said I made a mistake, or mistakenly thought it was my ratio when it wasn't.

Yeah when I first signed up I mistakenly thought the bonus ratio was my regular ratio so unfortunately when I logged out, and didn't come back for about a week I had lost my privileges. But I'm leaving them to see. It does kinda suck that it's going to take over a week to get the minimum 100 points to exchange though for the bonus. It would be nice if there was a smaller increment than 1GB especially when your new, and then if it went to the regular as you moved up the tiers of membership. But oh well.

Thanks!

I actually do see a psychologist, and a psychiatrist. I probably should have mentioned I have mental health issues I've been dealing with since about puberty. I take medications that help with the basic things like depression, but my borderline personality disorder has to be un-learned, which I'm working on.

Thanks for your response.

While I wish I could move now, that takes a pretty decent amount of money to do. Not to mention that most apartment complexes will not rent to you unless you have some guaranteed income, or a job, and jobs won't hire you unless you live in the area.

The only reason I have stayed is because of my elderly mother, who adopted me when I was a baby, but is biologically my grandmother. She is now 79 with congestive heart failure, dementia, along with having had two total knee replacements, two rotator cuff repair surgeries, and then both of those tore back out, so she had her right shoulder totally replaced. So she lived here with me for a long time, and it wasn't until recently that she decided to go live with my step brother, her biological son for a while to give me a break from all the constant care.

Again I appreciate your trying to be helpful, thanks!

I'm new to this site, and while I'm a member of another similar site this one seems to do things a bit different, which is why I have this question.

Since this site still uses ratios, why doesn't my entire upload amount count?

For example I'm downloading a free leach file to bring my ratio up because I mistook the bonus for my ratio when I first started. While downloading I'm also uploading some parts of the file which I already have finished, yet my upload amount has stayed at 0 even though I've uploaded close to 100kb while Im downloading this file.

So why doesn't that count?
Do I have to completely download the entire file before the site considers anything I'm uploading as actual upload?

Hello everyone!  :hiya:

I'm new here and thought I would do as this forum suggested and introduce myself.

I am a 31 year old gay male who currently lives in the midwest. At some point in the future though I would very much love to move somewhere West, like Colorado, or Washington, or North to somewhere in Canada. In the past I had also thought about moving east to Florida, but I really don't like the idea of hurricane season every year. While I know there is a younger crowed there, there are also LOADS of older retirees whom rumor has it are quiet rude. While I'm sure its not everyone, but with a larger population of them there, it seems like this is a higher chance of it occurring more often.

I've not had a very successful dating life, having only dated 3 guys, none of those relationships lasted longer than 2 weeks, and all ended rather badly with us never speaking again. Especially since my 3rd boyfriend burned down my home in 2012 for attention, and because he thought it would make me buy him a car to finnish school, a New cell phone, and $3,000.00 worth of name brand clothes in one shopping trip to replace all of his name brand clothes that burned, even though he had bought all of them from yard and garage sales etc, instead of actually buying them from those super expensive stores. After he slit his wrist open for a second time, I had to dump him while he was in the stress unit and focus on getting my life back together after he destroyed it all. He then threatened to call my insurance company and tell them I burned my own home down, just to get the insurance money. That coupled with the fact that he told me he had burned his dad's house that he lived with him in down because his dad wasnt paying enough attention to him made me suspect that it was him who had burned my home down especially since he was the last one out of the house when we left that night.

Since him I haven't had any other boyfriends, or dated anyone. For a long time I didn't even bother looking, I eventually decided that I would give it a chance, but havent met anyone who I am into, and who is also into me since then. So I have been single for the last 8 years. After so long I have just given up the idea of me ever finding another boyfriend, much less of finding a husband. I am fairly sure that I will grow old and die alone, which sometimes bothers me, but most of the time I dont really mind the idea since I'm not a huge people person, I'm more of an introvert.

I have an INTP-T personality type, if you know what that is, if not feel free to look up the 16 personality types, you can take a test yourself and find out what your personality type is.

I'm a Gaymer, I have a PS4 Pro that i love to play games on, and I'm very excited about the next gen consoles coming out at the end of this year. I'm not sure if i will stick with Playstation, or if i will move over to the XBox this time. I grew up playing on Playstation systems, and it wasn't until I was 25 that I ever played on an XBox system. I had a roommate who had an XBox 360, and shortly after I moved in with him he got an XBox One which we both played on. I loved to play Call of Duty Black ops 1 & 2 in Zombies mode with him on his XBox 360. The first game I ever played on an XBox One was Assassins Creed Black Flag, which we took turns playing, he was better at the stuff on land, while I was better at the fights in the ocean. There is one game that I play on my PS4 Pro that I found out actually preforms better on the XBox One X, that being ARK Survival Evolved. Primarily because it has a Faster CPU, and more memory to use, which is why I'm not sure which one of the next gen consoles I'll end up getting when they come out. I think it will come down to two different factors, #1 being the fact that I already own Playstation games and the PS5 is supposed to be backwards compatible with PS4 Games which is a first for Playstation consoles, and it will cost more money to swap my PS4 Games for XBox Games. #2 Being which one has the better specs as far as CPU and Memory.

Since I'm new I'm still learning about this site, and how to use it. One mistake I've already made is that I downloaded two different torrents on my first day here, and I know that I needed a ratio of 0.3 until I get more downloads under my belt. So once the torrents were finished i logged back in to check my ratio and saw a 0.3, so I deleted the Torrents from my client and logged out. That was back on August 8th, unfortunately it wasn't my actual ratio I saw, and it was instead my bonus ratio, however since I didn't log back in until today, I missed the grace period, and my downloading rights have been taken away :cry2:. On top of that of the two files I downloaded it will only let me seed one of them for whatever reason, even if I stop that one and try to seed the other one, it still wont let me seed it, and the one it will let me seed doesn't appear to have any leechers right now, so I'm unable to get my ratio brought up to where I need it to be in order to restore my downloading privileges. So I'm unsure what to do to get my ratio up, other than to just leave it sit and hope someone comes along and starts downloading it.

Well I cant think of much else to say about myself, especially since I think I've already said a lot as it is, but if there is anything else you would like to know, feel free to ask, and I'll be happy to answer as long as its not something to personal, or that I'd rather not talk about.
