I think that the constant fear and obsession with this issue is actually making the problem worse, driving it deeper underground and causing those who traffic in it to become ever more entrenched in their ways - which leads them to work harder to expose their viewpoints and spread them to others. It is no doubt having this effect, as we see ever more instances and examples of actual CP pervading the 'net and real life despite frantic efforts, draconian laws and insane schemes by the US and a few other wealthy nations to stop it. (Maybe the US and GB can arrest all of the citizens of Japan, Mexico, dozens of Caribbean islands and most of southeast Asia and put them on registries as undesireables! Sorry...)

DaTorrents, I truly hope you bring back the lolicon gallery soon. I very much enjoy all hentai, including lolicon, as part of what I consider (and what many do not) a healthy fantasy life. People like what they like not because of a choice made at some imaginary point in their lives, but because that is simply what they enjoy! Lolicon is one example of an art form, and a pleasant one at that. There are very good and correct reasons for suppressing child pornography as destructive to a society, but once you start looking under every nook and cranny for "possible" violations of a taboo, you start choking off all sorts of important freedoms.

I hope this rant made sense. It's just that I saw this coming and was not in the least surprised. Let's hope datorrents finds some new advertisers, perhaps some based in non-US locations if possible. Most of the rest of the world doesn't have the hypocritical hang-ups the US has.

What about putting a request up on the front page asking for 1.00 from every visitor via paypal just once a month (or some similar payment method). I'm thinking there are LOTS of visitors to the site, and what's a buck? I'm sure many people would drop a dollar for all the good things the site offers, and then we can all get back to our "sick" imaginary lives in peace without some corporate ad clowns running them for us for our own good.

P.S. Administrators, maybe you can give us a breakdown of site costs for each month. I've never been able to understand why these types of sites cost so much to run, being a runner of a *small* website of my own. Perhaps seeing the numbers can also get some people motivated to donate a few dollars now and then! (Also, what about making the galleries accessible only after someone pays a 1.00 each month?)

Okay, I'm done now, really.

Ok although I usually rant and rave alot longer than what Avid posted I'll try to simplify. I agree with Avid in a sense that there's too many hypocritical (I'm so righteous with delusions of grandeur) people out there. All people do these day's are to single out and reflect on only that of the negative of things, but never the positive.

Hrm now there was alot more to this post but I deleted it seeing as a) it was long az, b) it got really technical and historical lol, and c) just wasn't so sure I should post it

Really? It smells more like gynophobic pederasts to me...

I completely understand the situation, and am willing to wait as is needed. I feel for the Administrators of this site, they are working so hard to bring us all the art and images we all enjoy. I somewhat agree with AvidLover up there, but only to a point. DaTorrents has always been free, and I am sure the administrators want to keep it that way. They have expressed on many occasions that we, the people are their first priority. We must not be overly selfish and rude, for they are working for US when all the chips are down. The donation thing is a good idea, if only people were not so cheap. Even though the value of the dollar is plummeting, I doubt many would take a few minutes from their semmingly busy lives to give to help even what they love. That will remain to be seen. As for you, Administrators, I too came here for the diversity of all the images you offer. But also understand you are doing what you can. Please, don't get too discouraged, and please just do what you can. We're all cheering you on. And thank you so much for doing what you all do.

So in other words, please chill out, people and instead, try and help in any way you can. Any ideas I'm sure are very welcome to try and think of ways to get around all this bullshit from AdBrite. Come on, guys......THINK!! We can do this!!!!!!

Membership and charge for unrestricted access. Calculate it out and do it. The only real way to get it done and get it done right. Stop account sharing. Lock it down some how. That would be the quickest more immediate solution.

Is it ideal? No. However it does at least secure some kind of access to the media while paying for the heavy expense of the bandwidth. That or sell DVDs full of the stuff.

Banner adds just won't do it unfortunately it appears. Or you can setup a server that serves out just the Lolicon and only the loli and charge for that. Anyone that wants the rest would still get the freebie access.

I doubt very much that you are going to find a banner add company that will go for loli.

[knotty]

I agree with Angel Avalon & am willing to ride it out, hoping you guys can solve the Loli question. I'll have nothing to post or contribute without a loli thread, so you know I want lolis back!
That, and I sorely miss wild child's posts, and even her mild rebukes when I make an error in posting. Who loves ya, babe! Thanx, knotty
