You need to look at what MalePrime says your location is (see the screenshot a few messages up). The other thing is… I see you're on IPv6. This site only uses IPv4. So that's not even the IP we're using - we're using a different one. You've used 4 different IPv4s in the past 2 weeks… That's using BZ's internal geoIP lookup, which is NOT the same data source as what I use to do the redirects. But unless you've been traveling that's showing 4 different locations, 3 different states. But even Indiana wouldn't get you blocked since FSC got an injunction for that state. But the data provider I'm using may have put you somewhere else completely. This is common with mobile providers - they move IPs all over the place and sometimes let you hold onto one as you move around. So it's significant that you're connecting via AT&T. You'd probably have fewer issues on something like cable-based wifi in your house. A lot of you know that I had a stroke last year. That slowed me down a lot. Then in December I figured out I had mild to moderate case of Long Covid and that I had it for over a year (at that point - pushing 2 years now). It took me a while to be seen by specialists, get the diagnosis, and understand what I needed to do to get better. But that's happening now. The problem is (and why I'm mentioning it here) that sitting and working at my computer actually drains my energy reserves quite a bit, so I'm getting almost no programming done. I'm far better than I was 3 month ago, and starting to see signs that in the next few months computer work will be more possible. When that happens one of my first projects will be to upgrade that page on Male Prime that you see so that mobile users can basically say "your data is wrong, here let my device tell you my lat/long…" Then I'll figure out what state that is, and let you in and whitelist that Class C range for the following week. But first I need to get better… As far as IPv6… geoIP lookups are even more difficult and unreliable for IPv6 than they are for IPv4. It's pretty safe to say everyone in a class C range is near each other, so if I have the location for one IP in the Class C, I can (fairly) safely assume the others are close by. But IPv6 is far more complicated. Let me try to break it down for you… Your IPv6 is/was 2600:0387:000f:5b16:0:0:0:0002 The first 4 segments (2600:0387:000f:) are your "network address", the portion after that… well, it depends on how your ISP set things up. An entire company (or ISP) can all be on the same network address. From a legal compliance standpoint it's fairly safe to say that everyone at a particular network address is at least routed through a single location, but the laws don't specify how their routed, but rather the physical location of the user. AND there's no equivalent of a Class C. You have to know the location of each and every network address - and there are BILLIONS of them! I'm glad to see that you are gradually on the mend - but long COVID (and COVID itself) sucks. Quote
Administrators rawTOP Posted August 22 Author Administrators Report Posted August 22 The 6th Circuit has overturned the stay in Indiana, so in a moment I'll be blocking Indiana. The court's logic was "weird"… Yes, age verification is probably unconstitutional But because the Supreme Court allowed a similar law to be enforced pending appeal, we'll let the Indiana law to be enforced. Meanwhile the case is on hold until SCOTUS rules on the Texas case 1 Quote

wwguy1973 Posted August 23 Report Posted August 23 I’m in Nc…and have unlimited data. I can access the site on my phone if I turn off the WiFi and just use data. Quote
BubbaNTexas Posted August 23 Report Posted August 23 I'm a Mac user and use a subscription app called SettApp. It is a subscription app, yes, but you get all the apps within it at no cost. Within it, I found ClearVPN. I live in Texas and just simply flip that app on so that I have access. AND I'm able to use it on iPhone and iPad. Hopefully Gov. Dim Witt and Attorney Piss On will realize how dumb they are or get voted out. It's funny... I can find almost more porn on X/fka Twitter now. And since Must fired all the tech folks, I'm sure it's easier to get on there for porn than it is the sites they blocked. Hope this helps some of you. 1 Quote
NeedBredAnyTakers Posted August 24 Report Posted August 24 So I’m in Indianapolis and it’s saying near Illinois but neither states are listed on the block do you know why that is? It’s never been blocked for me till like yesterday I’m just wondering it sends me to “male prime Quote

It’s never been blocked for me till like yesterday I’m just wondering it sends me to “male prime " If you read the update from Thursday, Indiana has been added to the list of states in the block because that state's law about sites like this was allowed (by the courts) to go into effect. Indianapolis is in Indiana, ergo, blocked. Quote
Guest B1gThank5 Posted August 31 Report Posted August 31 When I use safari, it says I can’t access but when I use google, I can and that’s from Canada where we don’t have the laws you guys are instilling Quote

I don't know where you're from, but I think at best this is a vast overgeneralization based on paltry experiences and at worst a misogynistic thought that probably shouldn't have been expressed. 2 Quote

A misogynistic thought? I think that's a stretch. I'm British by the way! 😀 Quote

I think it depends on the woman. Liz Cheney and Sarah Huckabee Sandrrs? Hate LGBTQ. Taylor Swift, Cher, Kamala Harris? No hate. it probably depends more on church membership than anything, and evangelicals are bleeding members right now. 1 Quote
