My goal is to implement topic-specific chat and 1-on-1 chat before the end of the year. Chat about bareback (breeding) will be on https://bbbh.men Chat about bareback porn will be on https://bbbh.com Chat about poz fetish will be on https://pozpigs.com Chat about oral fetish will be on https://oralpigs.com Chat about oral sex porn (no fucking) will be on https://oralpig.com Chat about hardcore fetish (fisting, piss, BDSM, etc.) will be on https://twistedpigs.com (possibly with a group chat for each major fetish) Chat about hardcore fetish porn will be on https://twistedpig.com Chat about vanilla sex, exhibitionism, etc. will be on https://spunkbuds.com (and yes, "vanilla" includes "condom-free" sex these days) Chat about vanilla porn will be on https://spunkbud.com You'll have one login for all the sites, though your profiles will vary between the sites. I've been quietly reserving your BZ profile names in the background. So there's no sign up necessary if you're signed up here. You'll be able to claim the profile name you use on BZ by using your BZ login credentials. 1-on-1 chat will hopefully come (shortly) after group chat is broken up. Why now, when I promised it so long ago? Because the porn sites I've been working on (e.g. https://bbbh.com) are finally coming to a point of completion and one of the remaining tasks is to implement basic user profiles for those sites. And once I have that it's a good time to deploy chat more broadly.

AFAIK, the server doesn't save "drafts" (the only button is "Submit Topic", there's no "Save Draft" button). So there's nothing that can be done. We only have what's been saved on the server, which is submitted posts. I suspect what was happening was your browser was saving the data locally. But that's out of our control. Clearly, in the future it's best to draft in a text editor (locally on your computer, or something like Google Docs). Sorry, I know that's not what you want to hear.

READ THIS!! Beyond this post I'll allow only one type of comment… Anyone posting other types of comments will have them deleted/hidden, and if they persist, I'll give the person an infraction. Give me the URL of a post that's been changed. In particular I want the URL for the particular post, not the URL at the top of the page. To get the post URL right click on the "Share this post" icon just above and to the right of the post. Post that URL and tell me what's changed. I'll look into it to see who changed it. I'm particularly interested in recent changes (last few days). I'm not really interested in what people think about what's happened. I want to know who did what and when. As I mentioned above, I think I know how it happened. And I just need to make sure I've got it fixed. There's limited information on moderation changes, but there is some – enough for me to figure out the source (but not enough to roll back the changes).
-
One of the moderator accounts (that was set up ages ago) seems like it's been compromised. I've locked down the account until I can talk with him and see what's up. That may be the source of the problem. But it's really weird that the damage is so minor.
-
I agree, that edit makes no sense to me either! If a fictional story has merit but is poorly written I'm fine with a moderator "fixing it", but in that particular case the original was better.
-
The moderators look out for trigger phases that can get this site in trouble. In this case "good kid" is quite borderline, especially in the context. The word kid has to be used VERY carefully otherwise Google (and the FBI) may start thinking we're promoting things we have no intention of promoting. I suspect that was the intention of the moderator in this case. The point being, there are things moderators think of that you don't think of. They don't take on work for themselves just for the hell of it. They do it to protect the site. Just because you don't understand what they're doing doesn't mean it shouldn't be done.

I've gone through all the pending deletes. It literally took me almost an entire day to do them. The time consuming nature of the deletes is why they're not done more frequently. I'm locking this thread. Posting here does not get your profile deleted any more quickly.
-
Actually, the real purpose is booty bumps for chem sex… But it works for other purposes as well.

OK. All background processes are done. Logo and background image are restored. I think we're good. I'm going to ask tech support to put back the caching that was in place before the upgrade (that caused problems with the upgrade). It should make the site a bit faster. And I'll try to remember to check everything before I go to bed.
-
Unfortunately your two options are 1) to delete everything, or 2) to go into each message and delete that conversation. It's a bit dumb, I know. But I didn't write the software. Sorry. [Oh, and this has nothing to do with the upgrade problems.]
-
The site is based on IP.Board, which is off-the-shelf forum software. The site gets it's look and feel from a theme I pay for. The name of the theme is Villain. The upgrade is messing with the customization of the theme (logo, background images, etc.) When the reindexing is complete I'll restore the missing images.
-
I should mention I'm seeing issues. The site logo isn't working anymore, and the background images aren't there anymore. There's a background process running that's "reindexing images" (whatever that means). It's apparently the source of the problem. Once it's done, I'll work on fixing things. Hopefully it's just a matter of fixing a few images and the other problems won't crop back up. 🤞

Just so you guys know what happened… I did an upgrade the software vendor said was "minor" and part of the upgrade process wasn't compatible with how my server was configured. When I had tech support help at one point the upgrade process got kicked off twice. Somewhere in all of that there was clearly some data corruption. I tried my best to resolve the problems, but they just couldn't be fixed, so we've rolled back the back up that happened the night before all this happened (~8pm on Wednesday). Nothing could be posted to the site after the failed upgrade (late morning on Thursday). So about 12 hours of posts and other changes were lost. Ditto for anyone who registered during that time as well. It is what it is. We just move on… If you see problems (you didn't see before yesterday), please comment below… But before you comment, please reload the page or (better yet) close and reopen your web browser.

Nope. Different owners.

I have a TON of unanswered questions about Article 13, but based on my current understanding… It probably won't go into effect for 2 years. My porn sites with sponsor content (e.g. bbbh.com) are completely safe. My affiliate agreements make that content completely legal. The hookup sites I want to build (e.g. bbbh.men & cumdump.network) are probably safe if I'm strict about the nature of what people upload (has to be pics/videos of the person). BUT my plan was to pull in people's content from social sites, etc. EU visitors will need to be blocked from seeing that content. But the social site I'm working on (s3x.social) will have major problems. I'll basically need to block all EU traffic from that site. The question is whether blocking EU traffic will be sufficient. I'm not sure yet. But it's early and my understanding of all this could change completely.

This YouTube video explains what just passed in pretty good detail… This site would be exempt if it were less than 3 years old. All I can can is we'll have to see how things play out. Each of the countries in the EU has 2 years to pass the resolution into law. Hopefully sites like this one can get some type of exemption in that time.
-
I may have to block all of the EU based on what the EU Parliament just passed… https://www.xbiz.com/news/242985/european-parliament-approves-controversial-upload-filter-directive Basically any site that allows user uploads will have to guarantee that there are no copyright infringements even momentarily. Currently the business model is that copyright holders file DMCA take down notices and the website has to take action on those within a given period of time, and ensure that repeat offenders don't keep offending. Mind you, this is a MUCH bigger problem for Google's YouTube than it is for this site. Ditto for all of Mind Geek's porn tube sites. This site is small and has never had a DMCA notice (that I know of). And we don't have a EU business presence. So I'll let Google and Mind Geek fight this in the courts (or however they fight it). Thing is, they are much more able to put some absurdly expensive solution into place that a small site like this one can't afford. So people, the take home here is YOUR VOTE MATTERS. You folks in the EU elected these fools…
-
The extent to which this site is subject to EU law is minimal. We do not treat EU citizens differently than anyone else. As has been explained several times in this thread, account deletions are done every few months. The timing of our deletions generally complies with GDPR, which says deletions should be done within 90 days.
-
All messages like this will be ignored. This is NOT how you get your account deleted.

When I added a drive on the server I forgot that this site had it's files stored in what I moved from an old drive to the new drive. So it was trying to upload to the wrong place and failing. It should be fixed now. Sorry about that.

This problem should be fixed now. Let me know if you continue to have problems. For those who are more technical, the version of PHP was upgraded on the server and the password hashing routine was using a function that had been deprecated and finally taken out of PHP. I've replaced it with a different function call.
-
Sorry about that guys. This problem slipped my mind. Everything should be OK now.
-
I'm aware of a problem with chat. Hopefully I'll be able to get to fixing it tomorrow.
