The site owner has banned requests anywhere on the site.

RE: Candace Owens and the art selling out your own race for profit
Ah, so you are a leftist.
Do you claim Joy Reid? You know, the blatant homophobe that made many social media posts being homophobic, and when found out, she claimed that she was hacked and called the FBI in, to shortly after admitting that she sorta lied and that she doesn't remember making any of those posts.
David Packman isn't known for him being unbiased.

RE: Collages...
I stopped downloading videos with those unless I already knew exactly what it was.
Even then, I often give them a pass because i don't want to reward such behavior.

actor James Caan dead @ 82
According to his family, he died suddenly though he's been frail for the last few/several years.
I loved him in Rollerball (1975) and Misery, though it seems like most people think his best film was The Godfather.

RE: Banned from uploading for 90 days.
I can't say too much but your situation is part of the same reason the request section is gone.
The site owner and staff wish things, outside of our control, hadn't forced the changes.

RE: Scotland officially bans free speech
I live in Scotland and I can tell you that the new hate speech law isn't liked, outside of certain groups.

RE: The site is turning into a "collection" spam-fest
We don't have enough staff to check every torrent, so we rely on them being reported. Of course, staff will deal with something when they come across it by chance.
On the flip side, we also have the problem of people making 15 separate torrents in a row that should be 1 torrent. Some of these torrents don't even equal 1gb when made into a collection. If it's a specific person's month of uploading, it should just be a single torrent. It drives me insane.

Robert Clary - Auschwitz survivor and Hogan's Heroes star dies aged 96
He was the only member of his immediate family to survive Auschwitz. He was the youngest of 14 kids, to Orthodox Jewish parents. I have no idea about his extended family.
It took 36 years for him to talk publicly about his experiences during the Holocaust. He said he only came forward because he could no longer allow Holocaust deniers to spread their lies.
He was the last surviving member of the Hogan's Heros cast.

RE: Banned from uploading for 90 days.
@blablarg18 said in Banned from uploading for 90 days.:
@semurg30 Read between lines. I doubt it's personal. Probably (I don't know) some legal shit moves in background, where, to keep site going at all, they have to a) keep mouths shut, b) make example of someone from time to time. Sorry it's like this. Just don't even bother to feel upset - it's not worth it. An "Oh, well" thing.
That's probably the best answer to this thread.
It's not personal, but a sad reality that none of us wish had to be done.
With that, I will say no more.

RE: Party of family values part 1 😂
Most conservatives don't care about birth control and sex ed. It's a non-issue for us.
What you will find is that most conservatives don't want to fund your birth control and abortions.
As another person mentioned, viability for ancient jews was deemed on the 7th birthday. Other cultures had various ages, but usually between 7 and 13.

RE: How can we have a VR category created?
I've put this forward to the site owner.
I haven't heard back so I don't know if it's on his list or dismissed at this point.

Singer/song writer Christine McVie (Fleetwood Mac) dead @ 79
According to her family, she died after a short illness but did not expand on that.

RE: Seedbox
It's not something I remember doing, but in theory, as long as the torrent files in both are linked to your personal passkey then both should credit your account.

RE: Party of family values part 1 😂
You mean the same religions that have stonings and went on murderous rampages through the region?

RE: A couple of reasons why I hate large collections
I love large collections when they are done right.
An example of one done right (making this up but you get the idea) is "BAO 2020".
An example of one done wrong is "my collection of DILF".

Pope Emeritus (aka former Pope) Benedict XVI dead @ 95
Pope Benedict XV! died at Mater Ecclesiae monastery, where he chose to spend his retirement, after "being very unwell for several days". There is no word on what he died from, other than "his old age complicated the matter".
There will be no autopsy, as it's forbidden for Popes.
Now that he's dead, the Vatican will now create and enshrine the rules and procedures for a Pope to resign and their retirement.

Gender and Sports
The fastest female sprinter in the world is American runner Allyson Felix.
She has the most gold medals and championships of any sprinter, of either gender.
Her world record 400m run is 49.26 seconds.
Based on 2018 data, nearly 350 high school males are faster than that, in the US alone.
She has other world records, but I think my point is made above.
There are many other examples of this in sports, so I don't understand why liberals don't get the point.
As Sarah Silverman said recently, in defense of transwomen in sports, maybe we should end any form of gender in sports and only have 1 of each for everyone to do. Of course, she doesn't get hoiw stupid she sounds saying that.
Also, we constantly hear that it's ok for a woman to hit a man because she's weaker, despite calls for "gender equality".
