What's with All the Thread Deletions?

[fab]

You shouldn't have constant abuse.
You could have warned us subscribers and we could have added content.
It's your prerogative, since it's your site, however if it was costing you, you could have asked for a minimum subscription of a dollar a month or something along those lines.
Anyway, sir. Thank you for this forum and the years you have kept it going. I really appreciated.

This seems like a very blunt instrument approach to the stated problem of a few members consistently posting too many images. The problem with wholesale thread deletion is that you are basically punishing all those who followed the rules along with those who didn't - sending a message that even if people follow the rules their posts may be deleted arbitrarily. The rules that were outlined a couple of years ago were very useful to provide clarity about what was allowed, but now we seem to have less clarity.

I still don't understand why the solution would not be to permanently ban those who persist in ignoring the rules. If they come back under another user name they can be banned if they do the same again. Also, is it possible to just restrict the number of images that members can post?

I understand that sharing of porn was not the intended purpose of this forum, but I doubt that getting rid of the porn will result in more discussion. Like it or not, most of us are here because of sexual interest in trans. Some percentage of the people who come for the porn will also participate in discussions that catch their interest. Without those people you will probably not have a critical mass and end up with the same few posters who like to pontificate.

I think all the "thanks for your x posts in x years" comments are unnecessarily snarky. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that, while we may not have anything useful to contribute ourselves, we still enjoy reading other peoples' comments and viewpoints.

It was snarky, I agree. It only took him more than 15 years to follow through with his rules. comments saying, 2 post in 11 years, wow ego check. haha this can come right back at him for trying to dish out "rules" that he has neglected for over a decade.

"Housekeeping and swept out the dust.

I logged in and saw dozens of threads, updated by the same 3 users who seem to use this place as their private file locker, while negating the more important threads. I've been over this before. The purpose of this forum is discussion, help, and some pertinent images where appropriate. It's not an image collection site"

logged in clearly shows, he has not been on the site in probably a decade himself. dozens of threads, haha. well it is or was a forum. It's kind of just funny now.

What exactly have you ever brought to this forum?
Zero contribution = fuck off.

BTW - if it was an 'ego thing' on my part, then I'd be leaving all that stolen/free content there, on servers I pay for, for people I care nothing about and who don't even buy or contribute porn, to laud me with their worthlessness. Fuck off and find it elsewhere, clown.

Here's a fix for your ego.. Then don't make the site free. Want to talk shit to us for not posting and bitch about pricing. It is an easy fix to make the site not accessible to nonsubscribers, but then you would lose the content too. I don't really care. I'm just here to troll you. A single post made you mad. I mean by the 2nd initial post and you lost your mind, little timid ego.. ha ha ha

TgirlPostop.com has very good photos of all the stars and their surgery, and often mentioned who by.

I am suscriber of TgirlPostop.com. A total of 53 models are listed there, I wouldn´t say that these are all the stars. Keyplayers like Danielle Foxxx or Kimber James are missing - for example. The Post-op-thread on HA was always a nice addition. Sad that it was deleted now.

People don't pay for porn, why would they pay $1 for this site? Why give away GB's of free porn for nothing?
I'm happy with people posting images to illustate a point, or to show something great but when the site becomes nothing more than a recepticle for free porn, and huge threads updating daily of (stolen) content, then that's not what I want it to be.

Those threads support the fact that anyone (it could be 100 members not just a handful) are coming on here, and just posting content in the same mega-threads. I appreciate and understand why people loved those threads, but when it becomes the soul of the site and raison d'être for it's existance, then I've got no reason to keep it open and can just shutter it's doors, and redirect everything to grooby.com or groobygirls.com.

As stated, I'm happy with people using content to illustate their posts, or make a point - but this isn't the place to be a free (stolen) porn collection site.

LOL. The gift that keeps on giving. Nothing better to make my morning shine, like seeing another true idiot putting his foot in his mouth and making himself to be the fool he is.

There was a new rules post from last year (or 2020) - it's been sticky at the top of the page for that time, and I just unstickied it in the last few days. COCK WOMBLE
I check this forum daily. Rod knows that, as do the other regular POSTERS - as I delete spam, I delete link and I delete transphobic comments or attacks. If this forum was left to run itself it would be 99% Russian or Indian pharmacy ads, spam from unrelated companies and attacks on your likes. ARSE

How does 'logged in' clear show I've not been on the site in a decade? I get up each day and login. BELLEND


You're the joke here. Time for you to move and take you sad sack elsewhere.

And you double down. Two posts in 5 years - did you stop to jerk off on how clever you were?
The site is free. I don't talk shit to you, I respond to your idiotic comments - don't say things, if you cry when you get an actual response.

You're here to troll me? Awesome. How's that work out for you? Talk about egos!

Nobody should be surprised by this move. Anyone who felt that this forum was about some kind of brotherhood is deluding themselves. Grooby is first and foremost a businessman. This site maybe free to join - but it serves as a loss leader launchpad for all the products that he publishes on the internet - and the best part is, he barely has to lift a finger because it's the members who post most of the material (albeit taken from his very sites - although interestingly, he also deleted a chaturbate-related thread - suggesting an active rejection of competition).

He has previously made it clear in certain posts that his only concern is money - and this time he he has driven the message home defintively lest there should remain any doubters. The newsflash is that there is no such thing as a free dinner!
