I have another question.

There is on the rules recommended list of image hosting services:
Quote:
Extensive testing and research was carried out by Forumophilia staff and we’ve come up with the following list of recommended image hosting services
and after that - one banned image hosting site. So it is permitted to use not recommended and not banned image hosting site?

Cheers niterider69,

but I was talking about the PROHIBITED / RESTRICTED Sites that used to be found here... https://www.forumophilia.com/topic23501.html (like Bangbros etc)


I realize that and we(I and other MODs) are discussing it at the moment, I really believe we need one and some other do also. Until then post at your
own risk, if a list appears tomorrow then they may be gone or at least moved. Wink

As of now if it is not banned it may be used. If you notice most of the recommended host were on the old approved list so they have been tested
and do not have excessive pop-ups or other annoying things. Cool

Well said. It is the reason I have finally moved to this board from another that shall remain nameless.

You have chosen...wisely. (to quote from Indiana Jones 3)

I also appreciate your allowing members to speak freely throughout this process. All financially motivated decisions aside...the ability to speak without fear of reprisal is a rare and beautiful thing in this world. During this maelstrom of changes, FP members should note that some pretty heated comments have been posted but have not resulted in bannings. Very cool.

Internet postings are the first place in human history where people can speak an opinion and not have other people half-listen, half-filter that opinion using preconceptions about the speaker (race, nationality, etc.) because none of that other "information" is available in a post by a username, only the idea itself. So it is a real tragedy when voices are silenced because their words run counter to the agenda of someone with the power to silence them (other boards which shall remain nameless, China, etc.). Very happy to see that this is not the policy here at FP. 8)

ORON and MU are much better choices right now and you will see it for yourselves and I think gradually switch to those.

Unlikely, despite the theories the marketing people at Oron might be trying to sell. Oron is the slowest and most inconsistent host I have ever come across. Another board that I visit uses that host more than others, and even though I would love to DL much of the posted material I simply can not because the site cuts me off mid DL all the time. Until they invest in their product, they are useless to consumers with 100 better options available. MU is pretty good, though.

Long live the Forumophilia!

Agreed. Whether the original owner has sold the forum to a new GS or not (as speculated in another thread), this place has been one of the best sites (if not THE best) for quite some time.

And on a completely different note...BadDevil: I thought Nero was a fiddler, not a lyre player? :)

Still hoping that "Tape view" and "Search in this thread" return at some point after all the hoopla about hosts subsides...

I just want to add my thoughts to the many discussions here...

Oron is a very wacky service!! Confused Confused
How come Oron and not FF, HF, SM...? So many great hosts out there... Sad

Forumophilia is one of the best forums I ever met. And once again I say, the only thing I would change would be this file host policy. File host should only be banned if they were proven dangerous.


While RS keeps that policy, no more RS for me!
I only have MU and because of all the flash interface... I'm not too happy about it. Also, many errors uploading...
And now... Oron?? Doesn't that pay the uploader? Shocked Confused

I don't use MU and oron. MU banned in my country. To upload sites should be surveyed. The most votes should be allowed to 3.

Site administrators think about it I wonder.

Well, CangoMan, with a siteowner affiliated with oron, there is no chance of getting more cashpaying hosts allowed.
We had to put up a real struggle to first having MU allowed for an infinate time. (The original plan we got was to keep them for 3 months and "see how things go".)
Then we managed to get MU allowed without having a mirrorlink on oron.

After another big struggle and a massive uproar from the forum members, RS was allowed as a host again. Also without a mandatory mirror on oron.

btw CangoMan, I see that your avatar is not showing.
Most likely that is because you where linking it to an external host.
In the configuration of the new forum software version, the option to upload or link avatars with outside hosts have been disabled.
The image has to be on your pc for uploading to the forumserver.
Remember there are limitations, size 100x100 pixels and not more than 20000 bytes.

Thanks to svinto and the Mods for all your efforts but I'm afraid the damage has been done.

Pic Post, excuse me, Teen Babe Pictures (that sounds like the name of one of those sites that advertises second rate porn) has become a wasteland of Oron spammers. I notice you guys are working overtime to police them.

The link protector issue has driven most of the good posters away. Those remaining who are still posting content are posting already uploaded files intended for Forumophilia.

In my book, if one is interested in sharing rather than money making you create unique uploads for every forum you wish to post in.

Unfortunately, those forums are becoming rarer, smaller and more secretive. I belong to a nice one but sharing among a few friends is not the same as giving access to thousands.

I got about 4000 downloads in a day and a half from just a few files posted here once and didn't make a penny from it. It felt great.

I would feel guilty posting content if those members who I have enjoyed posting with and downloading from are no longer here because of nonsensical rules changes.

Not good.
I've always used the attachment function of the forum and now all my links are without preview. I cannot renew all previews.
Not good.

Thank you for allowing RS Very Happy Long live forumophilia!!!!

I've started recovering my request thread (Who are these bunch of Nice teens?) as well as the Lavec's Video Collection, pitty pictures are deleted but anyway I'll try to find them again some where on the cd's or HDs or the internet, but it will take time.

I've noticed that except the general search option located at the top of the page, there are no more search options in the threads! That's not good... please restore the SEARCH option inside the threads soon as possible!

Thank's Smile

la4765, if you google any of those fake new members' links you will see they are posted in dozens of threads, so their only intention is to earn money, as much as they can. I don't feel comfortable sharing the forum with guys like these. If you want to earn money, get a job MFs!

...and, I WANT MY LINK PROTECTOR BACK, NOW!


GS, Svinto and the Mods, may I humbly suggest that the links protectors would be allowed again except for oron links. I admit that this is more complicated that "all is allowed" or "all is banned", but it seems to me (as far as i've understood the situation) that this would preserve the interests of everybody.
I hope you can understand my poor english.

That's a great suggestion.

I don't see why GS would have a problem if all moronic links were still clickable, thus earning him and the soulless spammers their precious money, while some genuine posters who do it for the right reasons may be convinced to stay (if GS is lucky).

That "Link Protectors" do NOT protect your links !!!

So I am happy on that new rule.
