I wasn't really sure which LPSG forum to post this in. I just stumbled upon Intporn and (what I assume are its sister sites) ErotCity and PornCoven when I was searching for a particular vintage gay porn film.

I'm a little confused by their set up and was wondering how y'all use those forums vs. LPSG. Some random questions for those of you in the know...

  1. Firstly, do you think those forums are just a front for the File Sharing service they require you to subscribe to in order to view the videos people are posting? If so, that's fine, the rate is actually reasonable considering the amount of content posted there.

  2. What's up with the super generic thread names/titles/subject lines? For example, I stumbled upon a thread there with scans from Asian porn magazines -- a very specific topic. But the thread title is something super generic like "Gay pics and videos" -- virtually all the threads are titled this way. I don't know how anyone finds anything on there. To me that experience is analogous to flipping through the channels on linear (live) tv -- never knowing what you're going to be seeing on the next 'channel' VS. LPSG, which is much more like the streaming/on-demand era in which we search for and watch a specific program. Is that the intentional 'vibe' of those forums?

  3. Why are most of the threads formatted in exactly the same way with multi-shot / thumbnail screenshots followed by an embedded video link? Are they just super regimented about their posting requirements or do the contributors actually... work for them or something? (God, I sound like a conspiracy theorist)
Anyway, I figured some of you were no doubt familiar with those forums and I was curious to hear your thoughts and your personal experience of how you use them vs. LPSG. Personally, I prefer the specificity of being able to search very specific thread titles on LPSG because it's all about the niches for me. But, I can't deny there's lot of hot stuff being posted over there, too.
 
I wouldn't recommend you to use Porn Coven.. if you go there and use the search function, you'll see they have the option to search "child forums".. now I don't know what that exactly means but since it's a pornographic site, you should probably stay away if you want to avoid any trouble. I don't know if they're hosting illegal content somewhere in hidden forums but in any case, it's extremely unethical and illegal.

Notice how they don't have any rules (TOS) regarding content upload, which is extremely risky for a pornographic hosting service since they're required to comply with the local laws. Just stay on the safe, non-sketchy sites.

Intporn is a place where people post all kinds of stuff including just discussions. There are many threads where people post up their "Collections" of porn, entire movies or scenes, often many many many pages long. I doubt its a "front" for the fileserver companies. How they all end up formatted that same way is a mystery. Perhaps there's some bot at the site or at the fileservers that helps the site by spitting back that formatted info given a file that Intporn automatically utilizes. Or maybe when someone uploads a video to s fileshare site then it sends the poster back a packet of html to be used to post the file "Embedded" which they then post to Intporn. I've never uploaded something to one of those fileservers so IDK how it all works.

Anyway, it can be pretty useful. I subscribe to filesmonster and rapidgator and while I most often use a site Hot-Free Gay Porn Movies which is awesome, if the file download at the fileserver isn't working anymore at their link, 1st I'll search it at gayrawclub.com which often has ones removed from Errio. If not, my next stop is Intporn, which is very thoroughly indexed by Google so I google:"...scene name or keywords... Intporn"

But also fairly often files linked to at servers from Intporn actually don't work, either got removed or the uploaded got tired of paying and their upload account was deleted.
