minor I feel for them, I really do. I once was just like them, albeit on another continent, and I know exactly how it is to go chasing the dream (and eventually instead meet the nightmare) in the capital city. Luckily, I got over it the moment I realized I was searching in the wrong place for...

Patient dies after rejection by 7 hospitals THE ASAHI SHIMBUN (2008/10/23) A pregnant woman who was denied entry to seven hospitals despite being close to the due date and with suspected bleeding in the brain died early this month after giving birth, Tokyo metropolitan government officials...

Whatever. I've been here without interruptions for a little more than aquamarine says he's been, and I dare anyone to try to "to live here his/her entire life" without needing "to know a lick of Japanese". Try a bank, a post office, a municipality office: you'll know what I mean. Try...

@ aquamarine: If you're talking about hanging around in academic circles, than I could understand your position. Otherwise, "I always run into Japanese who speak much better English than I speak Japanese."...? Care to share where can I find that high concentration of trained English speakers (in...

This indeed is the issue in most of the cases, although if you're interested in maintaining your business what's wrong in trying to adapt a little too? This applies to anyone whose story is that of an ex-pat or emigrant. Yet applying the same principle to casual foreign tourist might pose some...

Just a thought: be careful what you wish. Right now, the said owners see foreign tourists as a nuisance due to their own communication problems; you know, like missing the wood for the trees. Granted, a ryokan is nothing like a hotel but nevertheless... But not to worry: if the economy...

Nobody talked about anonymizer links, but it's a good point that you have brought it up. Personally, on a adult profile site like this, I would have a service like anonym.to implemented by default. Think of the XVN admins checking the traffic logs and seeing a huge amount of requests coming from...

First, I don't see why I should take it as a privilege to post in this thread. So I'm not an RS/MU user (at least not yet, specifically because of the problem stated in the thread title); does this invalidate any opinion I could have on the matter? Second, I'd probably go along with the...

I agree with the poster above (ssb82). Just set up a start date after which urlcash/linkbucks are not permitted anymore, and that's it: fair enough. Even laws don't apply retroactively.

$2.25 in 5 days? That's laughable! Plus clicking your own links for $0.01/click... Tell me how's that smart? You spend time setting up the system, bandwith uploading and following the links, electricity to power your PC -- all that paid by yourself, from your own pocket (or so it would seem)...

I take it you happened to read one of my suggestions posted in another thread? If yes, please read further; if not, I'll apoplogize but I'll go on anyway. Right at the end of your post you state: I am too of the opinion that malevolent persons shouldn't be treated differently just because...

I've just put this great release in my download queue and this reminded me of a conversation on this topic - shoplifting - that I had with my better half some time ago. I mean, there was a time when I seemed to stumble a lot on TV programs featuring mainly innocent looking grannies that made...

I see your point. However, you must be aware that good speaking command doesn't automatically grant you 2 kyu; and as side not, it's not that I haven't scored 2 kyu, it's that I haven't tried... shy of kanji, I suppose :) And not that it matters too much, but I happen to know at least another...

@ Sakunyuusha & @ guy: ------------------------- Thank you for your reply posts featuring some great insights there. I only wished you hadn't somehow missed my point: it's there, in the second half of my post. :) I must admit that I was taken aback a little by what I perceived to be some...

Hehe, cool topic :) My half and me have already ammased quite a quantity of raw footage (mostly POV), and I've already proposed looking for a minimal crew to shoot a decent movie. It'd be intended for private release though... if these things can be kept private?! Anyway, since she's got her...

Be careful what you wish :) Learning Japanese must be one of the weirdest undertakings I've ever committed to and I've never been more frustrated with anything in my life than with my slow progress in this language. While I can speak daily Japanese fluently (even some keigo here and there)...

I just finished writing a quite lenghty reply. I clicked the Preview button and got logged out. Post lost, and 15 minutes of my life gone forever. I hate it! Exactly how long is the damn login timeout??

Thanks for the tip. I'll have a look into it today, see how it might fit my needs. And by the way, while recently changing hosts and looking for a reliable one for my other sites (nothing kinky), I have developed a 3-steps strategy that appears to have served me well, although I'm obviously...

Thanks for the reply, but a general assertion like "most companies..." isn't really helping. The site's not a blog, and not a forum, although it could contain both :)

Well, I must admit I enjoyed reading through the posts of this thread, and it was refreshing to see the many full of common sense comments about a self-perceived problem (most of the times) but, nevertheless, very real for those who happen to experience it. After some more 15 years* of...

You know, that is actually a very pressing question: what's the Best Adult Host Service that you know of? I'm having an adult-oriented site in development and searching for a quality hosting provider can be a real pain. Plus I'm not interested in going on the "free" version; that is, I'm looking...
