Religious practice does not make circumcision or any act, any less barbaric or justify the act.  That's as bad as saying murder is wrong unless done for religious reasons - 911, the London bombing, most of the current wars are all because of religion, that doesn't make them right, justified or forgivable.  Religion is not an excuse!

Uncut

My mothers job when I was born was to protect me, not to abuse and mutilate me because a religion or fanatic decided I should loose my natural foreskin.  Had there been a just and sound medical reason then fair enough, but if not then that decision is mine to make when I am old enough to decide for myself.  The foreskin is there for a reason, not just a decorative touch and should be left alone for the individual to decide about, like tattoos or piercings.  I get sick of the news at the moment going on about the fight to outlaw female circumcision and prosecute people, not just in the third world, but in the developed world as it is seen as an unnecessary mutilation of the female body, then what the hell is male circumcision? a party trick, a fun family pastime.  There are a number of body parts we either don't require or wouldn't miss, but we don't just "lop em off".  We don't perform an appendectomy on ever child male or female, yet it is proven the appendix has no use and could cause issues should it become infected.

I'm lucky I had the chance to see the difference, hear about the difference and make an educated decision to leave mine as it is, my heart goes out to all those who didn't especially those trying foreskin restoration which is nothing more than a bad repair job that will never match the original.

Would a mother leave her baby in dirty nappies for days, or refuse to feed it when required saying " it won't die it can wait till tomorrow for food" , of leave it to get covered in bugs, or not defend it from attack or abuse saying "Oh it will get over it, or it will heal in a week or two"

Well you did ask!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't like football, it's sooooo boring !!
I prefer Rugby  :love:

Exactly!

Totally agree

In rugby, you get an elbow to the face, smacked round the side of the head, kicked in the nuts, dived on by a group of huge guys and what do you do?  You get up, walk it off and get straight back in for another go.

In football, someone farts down the other end of the pitch, you fall on the floor, rolling round in agony, saying you can't breath, all so the coach can come and rub a damp sponge over your groin before you get carried off by 4 tiny St John's Ambulance staff.

Let em play Aussie Rules football, they'd all go home crying to mummy!

I'd rather have my Ass sewn up, my Cock chopped off and be fed liquid shit for the rest of my life than watch football.  It's over rated, over priced, they are over paid, all for kicking a bag of wind round a bit of grass, then kissing and hugging when they score .  Why support anything that does little to nothing to prevent and work against: Violence, Thugs, Racism, Sexism and Homophobia, in fact at times it almost promotes this kind of behaviour purely to make money.

The First image I clicked on took me to the video, but the comments state that none of the 3 images are anything to do with the video. Had I known the comments I wouldn't have bothered clicking the images.  Is this going to be monitored or some option to exclude these videos with misleading images?

I agree with a previous comment that the number of images needs to be limited, and I think making them display at a universal size would make the overall outlay more uniform and easier to follow.  Thumbnail sheets are useless, these are often too small to appreciate images at the best of times but on this it's just a waste of space (memory)

I view the old list and go by the titles first, then check the images (hover over so I see all related images at 1 go) along with the description and comments.  The image page doesn't let you know where one lots finishes and the next starts, so you could think something is in a torrent when it's not unless you check every image.

The overall concept is nice, but still needs a lot of work I think, so WELL DONE, but keep improving it.

I do hope that the original will not be removed, as for now I don't see me switching.

Does anyone have the following animan cartoons they could upload please

G.I. Bananas
All Starts in Palm Springs
Lex Stern M.D.
Animan's Carmen

Any help much appreciated
Thanks

If you are able to upload, then you are more than able to follow a set of guideline/rules as to the item being uploaded.

Nothing should be uploaded without at least a couple of lines of accurate description preferably in the internationally recognised and used language of English.  I'd rather see something in badly written English than in a language the majority of user wouldn't be able to read.  You could even ask users who see something in non-English to translate it and pop the English version into the comments.  Or maybe the ability for 2 or 3 additional descriptions to be added by other users who may be able to do something more useful to members.

I like many won't be fussed on the language being spoken in the porn torrents, but I feel it's a must to say what language films, documentaries are in and what sub-titles if any are included.

Titles should be exactly what the upload is, ie the name of the film, or the name of the film that the clip is from.  if it's from xtube or some site like that it should say so,  the only time that the title would be more a mini description is for amateur stuff and unknown stuff.

All movies/clips should have at least 1 picture from the uploader, it's not difficult you just capture a screen shot while your watching the item in question.

A lot of the problems are just down to laziness or so it would seem.

@myrea:

Right now I'm only hoping it to be not another stupid nutcase.

Hope? What do you think this is? Some sort of religion…  

Kind of!

To full appreciate the picture you have to be of a certain age I think, but it's because he's a friend of Dorothy.

Tap you heals together 3 times and repeat this, There's no place like Rome, There's no place like Rome, There's no place like Rome

@solon:

Wondering why I can't give my own ul freeleech anymore!  Anyone who knows why?

Maybe this

@Uwe:

A change to the Freeleech:

Torrents can only be made Freeleech 48 hours after their shown upload date and time.

This may seen as a disadvantage, but it has as well a positive aspect. 48 hours after upload a torrent is usually very well seed and already a little freeleech duration should be sufficient to download completely. It will avoid as well the points been wasted if the only uploader going offline during the initial seeding on a torrent being made freeleech.

@myrea:

Sure but not yet had we seen a contender which actually made pressure so to have us all killed… it's very unlikely that they will pick him, dued to political factors.

But isn't that a good thing? they can finally sort out the issue with the child abuse and have all the offending members of the catholic church, nay even the catholic faith put to death.  Then they can move onto the bi-sexuals or is that still ok?

What exactly are they classing as a homosexual?  Is this a man who loves another man, is this a male who has sex with another male and do blowjobs count? or drunken encounters.  Does just 1 time count, so all those straight lads at school who experiment should be put to death.

HOLD ON

Haven't we been here before with some German guy called Hitler, wasn't he just another fanatic?

God created Homosexuals, and he did it for a number of reasons:

1. to help slow down the growth of the human population which is destroying his planet.
2. to provide women with men who can understand them and appreciate them.
3. to provide men with a sexual outlet when women have a headache.
4. to provide priests for his church, who look good in a frock.
5. to adopt and care for all the children created because the catholics won't allow contraception or abortion.
6. to make his world a little more fabulous and colourful

Please feel free to add any i may have missed

@andy32:

May I suggest that uploaders (and Moderators) should have the possibility to make their torrents Freeleach immediately to promote their torrents.
This would be great (and would take into account your arguments).

By the way, 48 hours seems quite a long time. I think 18 hours would be a good time.

Agreed, The freeleech system should in some respect manage itself regarding new uploads, as most people uploading and making things instant freeleech, would a) have to have the points to spend in the first place, thus ruling out the majority of (without offense) bad apples, modrators exempt from that reference. b) have the ability to seed at a decent speed, else risk people just deleting the torrent because it would take more than the freeleech time, or have MOD intervention for not seeding thus risking suspension or ban.

I still think that even 18 hours is too long, having seen some torrents reach 20 to 50 seeders in a matter of 4 or 5 hours, which has ment that all those leechers (most of whom will now be the main seeders) have been denied the benefit of freeleech.  In a way your almost pushing people towards waiting 48 hours before they even leech in order for them to make torrents freeleech, which will result in the first few hundred torrents just sitting doing nothing for 48 hours and could result in people less likely to upload new torrents as they still have to seed even if nobody is leeching else risk they torrent being delete or them being warned for not seeding a new torrent.

Sadly whatever way you go, someone somewhere isn't gonna be happy, lets hope you can get a nice happy point to please the majority.

As for the deads, I guess it's just down to admin to bring a few back now and then a freeleech and hope they come back to life.

Well we don't want any bugs or issues now do we, and  I can quite understand not wantng to mess with the back end of a tracker  :afr:

I still think the 48 hour period is way too much for alot of titles and even detrimental, so an alternative is to reduce it down to say 4 or 5 hours, then put a "CAUTION" statement on the freeleech option warning people that if they use points on low seeded torrents it may be that the freeleech time runs out before they torrent has completed.  I'm sure the majority of people have the sense to work out when it is best to make some amount of freeleeech available.  Sometimes, just making it free for 3 hours is enough to get people interested so that there are plenty of seeders come the end of the 3 hours.  I know i'd rather see say 10 or 20 people with 75% of a torrent down for free, thus seeding that 75% back while they wait for the final 25%, than a torrent with 5 people having 100% and stopping/pausing it cos nobody seems to want it oir doing a hit and run leaving say 2 or 3.

The people who leech within the first 48 hours are usually the ones who have great download and upload internet speeds (and ratios) and can complete the file in only a few hours, yet will continue to seed for quite some time (days, Weeks), so in effect you are actually punsihing some of your best members by making them either wait 48 hours or making them unable to benefit from freeleech.  It wouldn't surprise me if it was some of those users actually uploading a new torrent and making it freeleech themselves straight away to increase leechers, thus increasing the number of seeders much quicker.

At the end of the day the seed points belong to the individual user, and as such it should be down to them how they wish to "spend" them, be it for extra ratio / Gifting to a torrent / inviting new users / or using for freeleech.  If someone isn't happy and feels that their points are being wasted on freeleech, they simply need not use them for that purpose until they are happy to do so.  I doubt anyone would "waste" points giving an invite to someone who they know is going to abuse the site, just as they would not give seedpoints to someone who doesn't complete a torrent or seeds it so slow, that after even 2 weeks they are still the only holder of a full version.

Final note on the dead torrents (again talking 6 months, 1 year, 2 year old) to bring them back, is automatically make them freeleech until such time as they live again.  To prevent abuse by people with low ratio's, make them available only to people with a certain ratio like with the DVD and 3D categories.  I know you may be thinking, well hold on, surely the people with the high ratios will have seen these ages ago and no longer have them or wish to see them again, and this is exactly why you would make them free, as those users would more likely re-download just to make them available to others than do a hit and run.

Just a thought or 2.

Instead of 48 Hours, why not the number of seeders?  Some torrents have dozens of seeders only an hour or 2 after upload, where others still seem to lack seeders, possibly due to the genre, maybe day of the week, etc.  If a torrent has a set number (10) after only 2 hours, then it is most likely going to be leeched by alot of people and seeded back by many within the 48 hour window, and more likely to see people stop seeding and moving to the next as they think it has plenty of seeders to allow them to stop.

Similar some torrents seem to still lack seeders 4 or 5 days after, yet can be made freeleech when it is clear the chance of getting the torrent down in the free period is impossible.

I appreciate that it has as much to do with connection speeds as seeders, but maybe if a torrent has 10/15/20 seeders it should be open to being made free whether it's 1 hour old or 1 month old.

As for dead and dying torrents what about making them freeleech until they reach a certain number of seeders?  By this we are talking torrents that are say 6 months or even a year old, thus getting more people to download them and make them available.  If they are in a separate (dead) freeleech section, they won't be hard to find, people can just search through for what they want or what they want to help re-activate.  If not "freeleech" then maybe "reducedleech", for example downloading the file only takes 10% of the normal size, this would stop people doing a hit and run, as they would all want to seed back at least the 10% (20% 25%) to cover their ratio.

Maybe it could be possible to give people a bonus for seeding dead/dying torrents to help keep them alive for longer or get them back into use.

People leech what they want to see, and hopefully seed it back.  Not many, if any, leech stuff they don't want just to seed it back for the community.  Maybe some sort of pick of the torrents/special feature section where say a dozen or so low seeded torrents could be listed, made freeleech/reducedleech, to get people to leech/seed them wether they want them or not would help.  Maybe double the seed point bonus per hour till it reaches a set number of seeders
