Who knows, why am I even saying all this- fashion does start in Europe after all- the rest of us seem to follow.

Only Europeans think that.

Quite a bit of fashion starts in the US.

Boxerbriefs
Boxers
Briefs {rarely}

I wear boxerbriefs most often because I find them to be the most comfortable under my clothes.

I wear boxers around the house though.

I buy my underwear while shopping in town.  I don't have a preferred store.

I have a mix of white, grey and black.

@ katyggls

Now that you have built up the courage, I hope you will continue posting.

I don't want anyone to feel they don't have the right or can't post in the forums, as it belongs to all of us.

@ geekguy

I too would love if tamaochan would explain what about gay porn turns her on.  That would be quite interesting.

As a gay man, lesbian porn does nothing for me, so I have a hard time understanding what gay porn would do for a lesbian.

Even though most people claim to be enlightened, most don't like Cadinot films because of the interracial sex, especially because the blacks are often aggro tops.

Movies from Spain are nothing special either because many of the actors look like the Mexicans in your neighborhood.

Outside of Cadinot, there were no decent porn makers in Europe. Much of it was very amateurish.

Another issue is that some countries allowed porn with 16 yo actors {this stopped about 10 years ago}, so they were banned in the west.

Economy is a factor, as I mentioned about the high costs in the UK.

I think you are over generalizing things. Eastern European porn actors come in the same wide range as Western porn actors. At one point, American films went away from twinks and someone had to fill the gap in the market.  Now everyone has twink movies to spare.

I can understand why she got defensive from the responses in this thread.

I don't understand why she likes gay porn, but to each their own, I guess.

There are several reasons for this.

Most Americans are circumcised and wanted to see uncut guys.

The UK was basically out of bounds because high costs and it being illegal to show erections in gay porn prior to 1999. Look at a map of the UK and pretend the Ireland a guy's testicles and the UK is his penis.  That was the most "erection" that was allowed in gay porn.

George Duroy {BelAmi} says that Eastern Europeans don't have the same sexual hang ups that western countries have. The UK, US and Canada are still extremely prudish when it comes to sex.

@F00F:

@twinkerzzz:

yes well it happened in sctoland too - twice to the same couple…..

public shows of gay affection is still explosive
holding hands is just about passable
but snogging can cause consternation - people think it is repellent, disgusting, obscene, unsuitable for small children
its a new front line for this new generation......
we just dont see enough of it....

But shagging sheep is ok?  ??? ::)

Wales is sheep shagger country.

A similar one is the plumber plot from the 1970s and early 1980s.

"Hello, my sink is clogged".

"OK, I'll be right there."

"Great!!!!  I'll be waiting for you."

Door bell rings

"Before I fix your sink I need to drain my big pipe in your sweet ass!!!"

"WOW, that pipe is huge!"

Moans and groans for 20 minutes or so, with a tacky porn sound track playing in the background

"Um, now where is this clogged sink?"

"Sorry, I just needed to get laid.  My sink is fine."

"Well, call me the next time you sink is clogged. I'm sure you will enjoy the service as much as you did today."

Sly wink and naughty grin

I don't have any videos with .sub files, all the ones I have came with .srt files.

Is the reason for no live links so that the referer is not sent to all the sites we are linking too.

That is the reason.

If so does anyone know if the firefox addon linkification still sends the referrer when it makes one of the plain text hxxp links into a live http link.

No idea

I know it used to, but I don't know it's current status.

I hate .rm/.rmvb files with a passion.  They are always much lower quality than AVI.

I don't use my computer to watch videos, except when I check them to see if they are worth keeping.  So using a separate subtitle file means I have to re encode the video to embed the subtitle anyway.

I would rather have to seed back longer to get a good quality video than have to try and watch one with lots of motion blur.

If you have a really good computer and you turn off all other programs {including the screen saver} and leave your computer alone while it converts, you can get a good quality 2hr video at 1.5gb and in some cases even 1gb.

The problem is that most people don't have really good computers, nor do they turn the other programs off and leave it alone while it converts.

When you guys do the speed test, make sure you have no programs running that are using the internet at the same time. If any programs are using the internet, you will not get a proper score.

There also seems to be some confusion over what kb and kB are.

Take my score as an example;

7,542 kbps or 736 kBps

and

723 kbps or 70 kBps

Divide kbps by 10.24 to get kBps

ISPs use kb because they are trying to trick you into thinking the numbers are better than they are.

@jjays:

my dl  is 430  and ul is 87    ???

Is that kbits or kBytes?

I'm going to assume that's kBps, otherwise your speeds are worse than dial up, especially your up speed.

Keep posting.  More debate/discussion is always a good thing. 

I have seen people seeding like… 200 torrents at the same time, which, obviously, doesn't help to make the figures round. The average upload speed on those was about... 2bits per second. bits, not bytes, nor megabytes.

My client is set to run 10 torrents at a time, but often times the tracker reads the torrents in queued mode as active. Last night it listed me as having 129 torrents seeding, but only 10 were actually active.

As in the post of mine you quoted, the issue is a serious one that needs honest and serious discussion.

To me, this all boils down to "BT traffic management" {see my sort of guide in the Guides - How To section} and fairness, for everyone.

How can a person who has just over seeded a torrent by 50 times, complain that other seeders on that same torrent aren't pulling their weight?!  As an example, when I first became a moderator here, I got 2 PMs from users complaining that others on the torrent weren't seeding enough.  When I looked at the torrent I found that both of the complainers seeded 80+% of the torrent's total traffic. This wasn't due to lack of trying on other members' part, as most were still trying to seed, but their upload speeds couldn't compete.

This kind of over seeding needs to stop in order for things to be fair for everyone.

If the power seeders want to seed more, they should go to the torrents that need the help.

Now don't get me wrong, I love power seeders.  I just think they need to be more conscious of how their seeding will affect others.

P.S. There is some problem with the attachments here.. I couldn't attach the picture , says it is too big , but it is only 80 K  Undecided

Hmm.  I could have sworn that was set to 192kb.

especially when my upload rate on my ISP is only half that of my download rate.

My current upload speed is 1/10th my download speed and soon that will change to 1/24th.

I can manage to stay above the minimum requirements quite nicely.

We have added some new information to your personal page {click your user name under the blue bar on the left}.

Below your Share Ratio box, you will see the following new items;

Current Minimum Ration - This is based on your current download amount. It will change as you download more.

Download Buffer - This is the amount you can download without seeding before you get a ratio warning. However, it is not wise to use it all as you may need it in case your computer crashes.

Also, Forum Posts count have now been fixed. All forum posts made on the old and new forums now count correctly. You can also click on the number and it will take you to a list of the forum posts you made.
