I'm a poweruser  and in my profile it says my minimum ratio is 0,5   ::) " (Current
minimum Ratio 0.500 (28 Days gracetime in case of your ratio falls below 0.5) 1.76 TB (The Amount of Bytes you can download before Reaching your current minimum Ratio)"  ::) So I assumed that's the minimum ratio for a poweruser Second of all I would not know why a power-users minimum ratio should be higher than a 'normal' user. Does the status of a poweruser not simply imply that: 1. The user has more than fair up- and download-traffic  and/or  2. Has donated to keep this website going on a frequent bases … or 3. Does all of the above?  ::)

**So why would the minimum ratio of a poweruser need to be higher than other users minimum ratio?  After all its not the powerusers fault that:
A- Some have a crap shitty postal pigeon-speed internet connections
B- Some are willing to get ALL the porn they can get.. yet NOT share fairly and/or donate once in a while
C- Some are too afraid to use up their PC and have it seed & leech overnight
D- Some are to poor to donate 2, 3 or more times a year…

Oh well... That's at least what I think of it. On the other hand I can really not be bothered if they would up the minimum ration for powerusers but if EVERYONE would share fairly.. the status of a poweruser would not even need to exsist..  ;D

Take care all and keep up the good work

A)  nein wart…. ich meine B)  oder 36  ::)

I consider myself to be blessed to live in the Netherlands where gay marriages are a common thing. Our political system is a bit f*cked up as we have way too many political parties to choose from. However most of those parties are quite liberal and protective of the gayrights. (with the exception of 2 smaller "Christian" parties)

However, last few years even in The Netherlands and especially Amsterdam, gays have been under attack a lot more than they used to be. I am sprry to say that it is mostly the second and third generation of immigrant muslims that do so. Gaybashing and discrimination of gay people has risen spectacularly over the last 4 years. Which I found odd, as the especially the gay community in NL is always welcoming and open minded towards new cultures brought to our melting pot of nationalities.

I try to vote at least for a social-liberal party every 4 years. One thats there for the sick and the needy, for the elderly and for the gay people as well. Does it make a change? …. We'll never know... What we do know is that not voting will only benefit the bigger leading parties... So vote! Is all I can say.

Wowser… that majorly sucks ass  (in a not so good way! ) Shows me again how liberal The Netherlands is and how lucky I am to be gay in my own country.

**That actually sounds fair to me If there would be no uploads of new torrents and people would only download, seed and donate to the best of their abilities (like I do)  ::) then after some time there would be nothing new to download…. So I would have to agree uploaders of new torrents, should get a bonus or something....  ;D

Erm…. ??? I don't wanna ruine any idealistic thoughts...  But there are so many users with so many different backgrounds, from so many different countries... that it would almost seem impossible to ''get to know eachother''. It would be way eassier to just scroll through the forums and watch people with simular interests etc. You could also add people to you friendlist and send them a personal message now and then... Perhaps via that way you ll get to know a few people...  ::) but just putting your stats and interests on the forum....  ??? :-X I doubt that will work LOL. Then again....you must be doubting to by now as I m the only one responding to you post so far  LOL

Core purpose of the site (to my opinion at least) is the worldwide sharing of gay porn, gay themed movies and some music....  So yeah.... try and enjoy that and any friends you 'll meet along the way I would just consider a big plus! ;D

Goodluck.

@thangcuoi:

May I point out that in the long run your suggest would not solve the problem of all the people with bad ratio, unless they kept paying everytime they get a warning.

Giving admin money to fix your problem would only encourage accusation that the admins are greedy.

Does it ever occur to anyones mind that running stuff from a dedicated server costs money?  ??? It's not such a disgrace to chip in an donate now and then I would say.  ::) Traffic on here seems to go in TB's=$$$ so IF people have the opportunity/moneyto donate to the site I think they should if they like the service and want to help keep it up in the air that is. Doesn't have anything to do with people being greedy at all!  If you can't spare $$$ to donate then don't… No one is forcing ya to
