Message for Cash Host posters
 

We are not your average 'take anything' Forum, we are a specialised Vintage Forum. Our community are fans of vintage era and we all take pride in our Forum.

If you think you can turn up here and post to earn, like you obviously do in other forums, then think again.

If you post in wrong section without reading our RULES - you will be banned

If you duplicate any threads or posts, you have not read our RULES - you will be banned

Our members take care and pride in what they post, and conform to the rules. Recent history tells me that you have neither the inclination or decency to follow this honourable trend.

You enter as our guests, this is our home , we can and will ask you to leave if you violate our RULES

Unfortunately they won't be reading this. The filesonic spammers don't read forums, and they don't watch the porn they post.

This forum is marvelous. Wish I could make a serious image posting, but almost anything that I've collected pornwise is already here!
I try not to break your Rules.
I found this site via a BGAFD posting link.
I am rather old now.
Thank God for that...

I have never managed to successfully download a file from filesonic anyway, it's just a waste of time.

I post links using Filesonic and MU...I believe I follow the rules of this GREAT forum...I have now received a month free membership at Wupload and wish to use it, and try it out also here...don't see it on the Banned List...hope this is OK people?

Thanks for using a good alternative (MU) in your posts.
Be careful with that money stuff though, the production companies are waking up.

Don't know what you mean by "the production companies are waking up"...but I will be discontinuing with Wupload as they are so slow and troublesome for uploads

If you read another thread, Oron is under litigious attack apparently. For selling content by offering money to uploaders.

I'm not defending the companies but oron should be finished off anyway. It's shit that draws too much flies.

Incongruous that Inglorious warns and criticises Filesonic users, when the forum
advertises Filesonic on the top of this page!

Forum owners and forum moderators are not the same. The possibility to criticise is at least something which makes VEF not the worst forum

I didnt ask for it to be there:rolleyes:

Thanks, agree and admire the fact we can make such comments...Cheers

I was just thinking, as I failed miserably to download a single 100mb filesonic file, that since no one is allowed to mirror films and clips, (unless you manage to find a major upgrade), a vast and growing swathe of VEF will be inaccesible to most forumites, that's sad.

I hate to disagree with you after all this time donnalangton; but i dont think just one upload site could work; both in terms of traffic and in terms of members own systems or download limitations. at least two as a minimum id suggest should work; say MU & RS, as much as both have their justified critics from time to time; they still remain the most reliable in my own personal opinion. I often find RS slow on my dongle, while MU often freezes at 99%; whereas they both work fine on a Broadband connection I also get use of on a weekend. Most of the others either dont hold files for long enough, or just dont work for other reasons half the time. Keeping MU & RS would at least give members a choice.

Hey; I managed to give my tuppence without swearing or defaming anyone...!!!! Bloody Hell!!!! (well, what's a teeny little swear word between friends?)

I think it would be a very bad idea to allow only one file host here. As we've all seen host sites change over time. They change their policies, the laws change, they grow too fast and their service tanks, etc. Limiting posters to just one file host leaves the forum vulnerable to those changes.

Second, it ignore the reality that some of those bad hosts are paying VEF's owner for ads and access. So even if it was decided to restrict posters to only one file host, it wouldn't be RapidShare or MegaUpload.

They do change but RS and MU didn't change too much in all those years to not be the standard hosters. With every day, more movies are getting less accessible to members thanks to horrible hosters like Oron, Wupload and Filesonic.

Your right guys, MU has never given me a problem but we can agree there are those who do and their being used all too frequently.

If anything we need to know why FS is causing so much problems for so many of us. Especially now the forum is advertising them as the main host. Which I don’t have a problem with.
But no matter where you go on the net to find a fix all you end up with is frustration & wasted time.

I thought the junkies in my street where strung out….

I am not trying to start a debate
 

I am not trying to start a debate But I will point out my experiences.

Rapid Share was very slow, But I registered for a free membership and it is now very friendly.

I have a paid membership with File Sonic and it is great.

I had a paid membership with Oron and that was great. I don't have that now and it is extremely slow.

Wupload is about the same as Oron.

Depositfiles is about the easiest one to use.


Soooo with all that said, I want to upload a bunch of photos and clips. I started with RS and FS both are easy to upload. Depositfiles is not easy to upload to.

I want my stuff available to the largest audience so I was going to upload the several servers as mirrors. Is this in fact not allowed here?

And, what kind of problems are being experienced with FS?

I appreciate your thoughts, and I will comply with all rules. Thanks

Well, there's the view of the uploader and another of the downloader. I guess most members here are dowloaders and hosters like Oron, Wupload or Filesonic are either slow or have awful waiting times for free users. So, with the increasing use of different hosters, that would mean that we have to buy multiple accounts while some of the uploaders make money for what they have no justification. I've seen forums where some folks excessively upload movies, mostly on Oron, and they're certainly not doing it for fun. Such poorly managed forums look like virtual black markets to me and I would not like to see such a great place like VEF resembling to that trash platforms. RS is great these days, even for free users. It's fast and there are no waiting times. Even though I think it's still too good to be true, so this might change if more people return to RS.

Yes mostly I do the free downloading too. The wait is awful. I agree that rapidshare is very nice now but it used to be really bad.

Mostly though, I appreciate the input. I'm real new at uploading and I have a lot to contribute to this forum, so guidance is welcomed

In the bad old days of Rapidshare.de they were universally hated and the switch to .com seemed like yet another trick, more exploitation. But these days they are great to use even for free downloads so why are hosters like [m]oron so damn popular in the forums one encounters? Just before catching up with this thread I realized that it was money [surprise? - remember the old days of Im*gesh*re?]. That is why we see Oron and similar less frequently here but I do have to acknowledge several dedicated uploaders who have done a great service to our community and also realize the amount of time they have spent sharing. Most of those I have in mind are not the mercenaries to be found elsewhere.

But it's ironic that Rapidshare was once almost universal and that they have since bought their membership prices down. They are generous to free downloaders and keep files available. Yes, Norbert84 may well be correct that RS could soon change back to their old ways. But with so many other hosters that are widely used now few of us can afford membership to all of them. And the so-called free downloads from many fizzle out whether one uses a d/l manager or not. The poster who suggested an approved host for downloads here may have something -- and then we shouldn't care about the small monthly cost of membership.

Filesonic and Fileserve are down. Deleting all files by the closure of Megaupload.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad ::mad:

Oh!
 

Oh! Didn't know they were deleting files. I thought they were only allowing access by the original uploader.



So much for due process. Welcome to Amerika.

I checked! My files are still intact on Filesonic except they can no longer be shared. Looks like Rapidshare will be the only one pretty soon. They have already gone through the legal hassles and survived. Helps when you can't be touched because you are located in Switzerland. This is going to be very interesting to watch over the next year or so. The RS litigation took over 2 years.

Message for Filesonic Posters !!

Simple - concentrate on your day jobs, the gravy train has de-railed .... :)

ORON sucks big style, 99% of all files I cannot download and those I do are at a snail's pace. If they closed I'd open a bottle of Moet and eat a bag of chips to celebrate in style.

Not all Filesonic posters are out for profit, some just like sharing porn.......

RS
 

Well not really, they abandoned it because they kept messing
around with the site, deleting files, changing accounts, etc.
The free "collector's account" went, and no one could figure
out the new weird pricing structures. Seems to have settled
down now after more revision, and works ok for free D/Ls.

Well said, Wendigo. :thumbsup: I would join you with a bottle of 12 year old single-malt scotch. :D

And.... Ladies and Gentlemen.....

Let us not forget the original message from Inglorious as to why this thread was started in the first place..........

We are a "free-porn" community of friends and fans of Vintage porn, and those of you who think you can make a living here are mistaken. :rolleyes:

We have found and banned many of members who thought they could circumvent our RULES.

With that said, let's just enjoy the material that our members have so generously provided, Since that is the spirit of VEF as it was originally intended. ;)

So is anyome going to remove the dead filesonic link on the forum?
Gives a 404 page not found!

Brillantly put, Edge :thumbsup:

And if all what is going on at the moment helps to get rid of all the money-making hosts, then it´s definetely the best what could have happened.

Being involved once in cleaning up all that spammy crap coming to here when the cash-hosters started, makes me feel incredibly satisfied a.t.m.

I think ORON will shut. A forum that i will not name but end`s in BB
Is about 90% full of ORON upload`s. What a big cash cow:eek:
I myself agree I tryed to download from them as a free user...Please wait
3 hours..F**K OFF TO THAT!! and i bet another 3 hour`s to download it.

That´s the downside - some forums were (are) so strongly affiliated with these hosters that their vanishing will also cause financial loss to the forums and shattering their abilities.

So there will hopefully be no impact on "our" group (VEF/PS) :eek:

Thank you Edge, for your comments in post 33, but shouldn't it read "18 year-old single malt"?
12 years really is too young for this forum.
Cheers!

You can add *****philla to that list they use ORON 99% for their uploads. With Oron I don't mind the download time that much (gives me time to mow the grass) but the waiting time between downloads is the killer.

I see filesonic are now preventing people from downloading shared files.
New development?

I don't even mind long waits between downloads if they avoid CAPTCHA schemes that cannot be handled by JDownloader. That's why I have always appreciated those posters that continued to use Rapidshare - even if it takes a while to download, I can set it and forget, come back later that day and find the file completed. Of course, those posters that posted multiple host sites so parallel downloads are possible were also very much appreciated.

But no matter what host they use (even Oron, ), I appreciate any contribution to this forum. Thanks everyone!

Hey, not really true. JDownloader has some tricks, try a search in the help tools. And try to look for "CBH Captcha Solver.exe", a simple way to jump on catcha's issue.
