Torrent Poster Thread: Need More JAV Posters

[201flyer]

Chesed,

I hear you but I'm not sure you are totally correct. For example, if you go to the Jav Downloads page and look at the sticky called
"Collection of JAV with white actresses" it has 10,507 replies! I picked a post at random: PPD-407 and the search not only reveals the post it then goes directly to the post which is not at the beginning of the page. So, I still don't understand why a different organization in the torrents section wouldn't work exactly the same?

Personally I think the studio release date should determine which month a movie gets listed in. People can't look up release dates for torrents, but film release dates are clear. Anyway, that is what I would do.

I also agree with Hairy Bush. Gee how interesting...mostly only SLF Refugees enter into discussions. Why is that? ( that's rhetorical )

That is indeed a large thread. Yeah, I got nothing after seeing that.

Yeah, that's what I went with. I guess if/when a September thread is started, we can retroactively put in the previous September releases.

Hm, I'm wondering if we should refrain from having the thread organized by manufacturer, and simply add the titles as they are posted.

1. By Manufacturer

+ Easy to find titles by your favorite company /code
- Cannot see newest posts easily
- One man show​

2. By torrent release time

+ See newest titles immediately ("Last Message" would actually indicate an update you haven't seen)
+ Anybody can contribute
- Difficult to find by manufacturer​

#2 would be closer to how you would want the forum to be like, 201flyer. Still a patch, obviously.

There really isn't a clear choice! When I did the lists I preferred to group by studio and put them in alphabetical order. That way, as a poster, I could easily see exactly what was and wasn't posted. That was more important to me than seeing what was new. I'm not drawn to a long list of videos in random order just because of the difficulty of finding a particular video.

But, what really begs the question and is hard to determine is whether the regular users of the forum will actually use these lists. And, since few care to comment we simply don't know through lack of feedback.

(I still contend that there is a better way and one that would satisfy all these concerns and wouldn't use any additional bandwidth or tax the search engine.)

I think, if I have time to do September, that I will have the thread be updated in the order the torrents are posted. While it wouldn't really benefit the torrent posters much, I think it'll be much better for the majority of the users browsing the thread.

As it is, I don't think it's as useful for the torrent posters anyway, since all the images pretty much blow up the lists longform. I think torrent posters might find the list as you created in Feb/March more useful.

 

[chesed]

Some of the dates are mismatched for some of the torrents. If I go to javlibrary.com, I see a different date. I'm wondering if some of these dates are placeholders.

Rather than bug the torrent posters (they already have more than enough on their plate), I'm just going to put the torrents in the correct thread. I urge anybody that decides to help update the monthly lists to do the same, and if in doubt, check another source.

Edit: actually, javlibrary.com is incorrect, too. I checked an official source for some and yeah... This kinda makes things difficult, going from month to month. I was wondering why there were some September releases in the beginning of August. Guess I gotta be more vigilant. Urgh, yay, more work!

 

[chesed]

So apparently hyking is gone for whatever reason, and he posted the vast majority of torrents. Which basically nullifies most of the list I created. That's quite a bit disheartening.

Now there's posts coming in that have been posted before.

While his posts have been effectively removed, the images have stayed.

 

[hairy_bush]

so hyking has been banned.....too bad.....lots of work and time down the drain

 

[201flyer]

Boy, Chesed I feel bad for you and your efforts. It's really discouraging.

The banning here is so heavy handed....more of an execution than some minor corrective surgery. I don't know what Hyking did that was so wrong other than sometimes butchering translations of names. As far as titles, I've given up almost all hope of reading something decent. So, I actually would like to know what his crime was? He posted a lot and that was pretty useful. He seemed to try to follow the rules. Personally I had no problem at all that his posts were 100% in English. Yes, the rules says Japanese and English. Is that why?

It's some decent effort for sure, but nowhere near as much as he was doing, as well as the other torrent posters here. Mad props to you guys. I tried to give credit where credit was due by linking the torrent posters names under each title. I feel it's important to encourage their hard work.

I'm not sure, but the torrent posts were always in English, yes with pretty horrible title translations, but seriously we're not gonna have professional translators be doing this. Google translate is probably all people have and for most people that's probably enough for... ahem... their purposes. It could also be cut-and-paste stuff from other sites. I have no idea where they come from, so I got nothing but speculation.

In any case, I'll keep doing my thing. If anything, this reduces the amount of torrents by a lot, which means it's a lot easier on me. =P But not good for the community by any means.

 

[hairy_bush]

i use google translate for my translations too..so it can't be that problem..

 

[201flyer]

Speaking of translations, why not use the much more readable English translations and actress names from R18? Yes, not every video is there, but, compared to Goggle they are like a Stradivarius compared to a Chinese plywood box!

 

[hairy_bush]

I don't know the site r18, i'll check it out.

So about organizing this site, I think what you guys are trying to do is a noble endeavor, but against impossible odds. As noted above posters come and go for whatever reasons, so if their posts are deleted, then those monthly lists are useless, not just the current month but also the previous months.

Even if I go back and re-post some of the deleted posts, the list will not reflect the reposted links.

So if I was looking at the list and I clicked on the link for a post that has been deleted it will give me an error thus wasting time.

I really liked how well scanlover 2.0 let you put tags for the vids, then you can easily search vids. Too bad that can't be done here.

I know nothing of programming or computers, so I don't know how hard it would be to write a program for the site. I use a program called personal video database to organize my collection. i've seen someone else refer to this program too. I'll post a screenshot later.

You're absolutely correct. The hyking incident left me feeling deflated. I mean, posters come and go all the time, but that was certainly an eye opener. I updated a few of the links that were posted, but doing that with the format I'm trying in September would mean whoever posts a section of the list would also have to update it if it were to happen in the future. The August format allows me to do it myself, but that is potentially twice, three or more times the work.

If anything it demonstrates very well why 201flyers method is really the only feasible way of dealing with it, in terms of re-organizing the torrent section.

Edit: BTW, that also means more than one image has been uploaded since the server retains the images even though the user was removed, which is what we were trying to avoid in the first place.

 

[201flyer]

From my experience thus far at Akiba I would now reluctantly agree with Hairy B. The odds are really stacked against any sort of reorganization. It's one thing to "ban" a poster for whatever reason, but quite another to just remove every post they made. The latter inflicts punishment on users, not just the poster, and I cannot see any justice in this approach. Probably many of us put a "like" on a post (even if we don't actually like the manner of the post!) just to help keep track of what has been downloaded. When the posts are deleted that all goes out the window too.

I tried once to organize things into a thread. I even stated in this long thread that I was thinking of doing it and assume a moderator would have said "no" if there was going to be a problem. Stupid me, I tried and every post I made for months was deleted. I have no idea why this happened because, as I've pointed out previously, there are very long stickies in the Jav download section. Anyway, some other brave person can give it a go. I'd prefer not to be banned!

 

[hairy_bush]

I'll be reseeding stuff from my torrent list.....be patient and keep the torrents alive and you will be rewarded...

note: once i see at least 10 seeders, I will stop, so I can reseed some more vids.....so its up to you the community, to keep it alive
