i wonder if someone managed to make a backup of the site's content.

Site owners are MIA from what I've heard so unless they miraculously come back and fix the site out of the blue, it might be best to start looking for some non-shit alternatives.

>>8867294
Someone probably has some sort of backup.
There are some data hoarding dragons out there.
Just recall the 2019 sadpanda panic.

>>8867243
What is bothering me the most is that we can't download anything.

>>8867341
The site's been fucked since the end of October, so six months at the absolute least. And the fact that people are like 'oh, it'll be fine, the owners vanish inexplicably for long periods of time pretty regularly', like, isn't that a massive red flag and a sign that we need a better site asap?

The site is legit dead and if those who can aren't working on an alternative site, then don't be surprised when we lose everything one day.

Tougth i'd share:

I wonder why you're obsessed with spewing retarded lies and ruining it for everyone else, Redditor.

Also, I don't need to click that to see it's LLM slop as there isn't a free LLM that spergs out about paragraphs like you do. I bet you think Kemono overwrites updated posts over new posts.

Kemono's owner lurks 4cuck and when he sees your shitpost he's going to turn off the API because he forgot as his email address is still on it and he disabled Nekohouse's API.

>502 - Bad Gateway
WebServer is dead too now it seems. Has died before and come back recently, but not for this long.

>>8871073
Fuck off political schizo, the owner isn't dead.
Just the other week he came back to remove the partychan link on the bottom of the page.

My dumb theory is that the owner just gave up on the site, not having a dev, sites consantly changing stuff, sites now actively trying to break and ban crawlers, and the insane costs of hosting going up thanks to HDD/Ram costs. Just let it expire that he already paid for.
Even the old domain was not renewed recently too.

Will we see another site like kemono pop-up?
Maybe, who knows, probably not to the same scale with supporting so many sites.
Then there's also the issue of content that has been deleted from paywall sites since the start of kemono, to when the next site will come around.

>>8871216
>I usually just buy a month of a creator I want and then stop until they have new content that interests me.
Some artists have started to pick up on this, and either delete their old posts or update it to point towards a paid link

>>8871218
>the owner isn't dead
How do you know?

>>8871218
Maybe this is a good thing. The owner was too retarded for his own good. Imagine losing hundreds of terabytes to MLP, furry, AI and other unholy things.
Hopefully the next kemono is smarter.

>>8867594
Still doesn't work, at least as of now

The last time the site died, someone had the common sense to make a backup, from top to bottom.
Will they arrive again?

>>8871276
Even if somebody was to arrive, the download servers have been on and off, or running slow the past few months.
Now they're fully dead.
And now the web server is up and down. Too late now.

>>8871707
>Wrong. The admin's last post on Partychan was between last year's Autumn and Winter.

Very well then I stand corrected. Partychan seems to be down though now as well which doesn't bode well. My hopes are that maybe there's some major maintenance or issues going on in the background that the admin will resolve sooner or later but it's best to prepare for the worst.

It was definitely too famous for its own good. Even reverse image searching on Google sometimes gave me kemono sites.

The hellstorm of CP on partychan would've attracted Helen Lovejoys and Kemono would've been completely nuked

COME BACK COME BACK
PLEASE

>>8872213
reverse image searching? try punching in an artist's name into a search, half the time the kemono link was top 5, a total normalfag could reasonably stumble onto it without even trying

>>8872213
>>8872893
Kemono dev is a tard.
It's a simple config file to tell Google not to list your site on their search engine.

Ok, so Kemono revived, but still doesn't load images in HQ.

>>8873235
Nothing has revived, content server are as dead as before. Thumbnails don't count.

>>8872893
>>8873189
>>8872213
What I find baffling is how they decided to advertise themselves on Twitter, and even directly taunt the Patreon support account, telling them they were outright scraping their stuff.
This is what most likely got them on Patreon/Fanbox/artists' radars and prompted them to come up with countermeasures against the scrapers.

>>8873307
What retards. Accelerating services taking countermeasures against your own website. Is it any wonder the scrapers were always broken?

>>8873307
>>8873317
You know it's bad when every other artist on Fanbox and Patreon had some kind of countermeasure against scraping like passwords and off-site links.
There's artists that I personally support that still have shitty distribution methods because of it.

>>8873581
It's fine if you use rip sites, but don't get mad at the few remaining people actually supporting them. If nobody paid there'd be nothing to rip.

>>8873589
That wasn't what I was implying. I don't even care if he personally used the importer or not. I was saying that if artists didn't make money doing it, they wouldn't even have a patreon account.

Just ignore the retarded tourist redditor that got brainwashed into spamming about trannies and Jews.

>>8873592
>you didn't say this at all
See:
>>8873588
>If nobody paid there'd be nothing to rip.
This is what I said. It was your assumption that I meant "someone has to give money to use the importer" when I just meant artists have to make a profit or they wouldn't market their stuff and sell it to begin with. Both are valid points though, but mine was aiming a little higher conceptually.
Probably would spend less time drawing, too, which means less content all around.

>and sites like kemono or yiff.party doesn't make artists lose more money.
It's common sense that if you can visit a rip site for free, OR be forced to pay to get through a gate, many people who WOULD have paid would just go to the rip site and not spend money. Of course it loses them money. What a ridiculous assertion made to just spare your conscience.

I don't care if you sneak in through the busted gate, but be intellectually honest.

>>8873599
Lone artists selling porn through patreon is as far from the topic of "corporations" as possible.

>>8873604
lol, so this is about sticking it to patreon? This is like stealing someone's apples so you can stick it to Wells Fargo

>>8873607
>how generous of subscription sites to sell temporary access to content.
I mean, I'd save the art locally if I bought access to it. Who cares how long the window is open if you can reach through it? Tons of these artists even zip up their work so you can grab it easily.
>shitty subscription sites that timegate content, allow artists to remove content,
That's just letting the artist run their content as they please. And it's reasonable to do. The artist is the first order customer of the service. Are you saying they shouldn't be able to take down a picture they aren't proud of anymore?
>dictate what an artist can upload
This is shitty. I hate prude sites, but what can you do about payment processors having a chokehold? Not really a "steal it instead" situation because that just hurts the artist more than the payment processor.
>likewise, artists who share files in humiliating ways must be boycotted at all costs.
Humiliating? Like just hosting a mega? Doesn't seem too demeaning.
>you should give it a try instead of screeching that we're not your cattle.
Who do you think I am exactly?
>you've been saying this for decades
I have?
>and never shown proof.
Common sense shouldn't require proof. You're just getting pedantic now because you don't want to admit it's obvious.
For the record I'm not jewish. But it is pretty funny you call them notorious thieves while thieving.

>>8873618
You know, getting ridiculously hyperbolic doesn't actually help your angle. Yes, you're very ridiculous and I'm happy for you. But I don't feel silly for calling you out just yet.

Kemono is dead anyway, cucks.

We won like always, and the nyaas and nhentai are next. Enjoy.

>>8873630
>where's the proof that shows every single person visiting kemono would've been a paid subscriber to every creator if kemono didn't exist?
That wasn't the argument. I even phrased it clearly for you up here:
>>8873595
>many people who WOULD have paid would just go to the rip site and not spend money.
This is what you argued with. I didn't say "ALL"... I didn't say "EVERY SINGLE"... I said MANY. And you couldn't even concede that much. So you shifting the goal post like I need to prove EVERY person would have paid is very telling. Smells like a guilty conscience who is afraid to confront the truth that piracy does, in fact, have victims.

Hell, I'm not even telling you not to do it. I just think it's shitty when you choose not to confront reality so you can think you're a good person who is fully justified in everything you do.

May not be a surprise to anyone, but the 3dpd sister version of kemono is also dead and has been since October and import has been broken since then as well. These sites probably wont be around much longer.

Fuck videos don't even work anymore on coomer.

>>8873653
Where did I deflect again?
What kinds of proof would you even accept? An unassailable chain of logic clearly isn't one of them.
Who did I call delusional? I just called you dishonest... even to yourself so you don't have to confront what you've done.

The funny thing is you know I'm right. But all you have is doubling down now. Pretend to not understand so dialog is impossible. How very "leftist" of you.

Typical Jew censoring people. Anyone got a list of the dog shit it's said so far?

>>8867348
Sadpanda yes. There are actually several torrents that has all the ENG & JAP every categories backed up to a point except for Misc... Which mysteriously got erased on Sukebei late 2025. For any aspiring hoarders, don't worry it's easy to find (if you have 3 digit IQ) due to the file size .

Kemono probably not, or at least not by a third-party. 1) Because the upload themselves had shit quality control (i.e. the attached is a link to an expired megaupload/google), and 2) the site has shit connectivity making batch downloads hard. If the project does go kaput, my only hope is that devs post like a 60TB+ torrent as a goodbye gift. Hopefully this is just the annual retard-server moment that they usually have though.

>>8873717
>it didn't have everything. not even close to half.
Do you mean that in 1) with other languages and including Misc? Or 2) do you actually mean that there was less than half of ENG & JAP presented?

1) I understand, because Misc alone is like a fucking exponential cancerous growth that'll probably kill the site in the future; Especially with AI.
2) I call BS because I really fucking doubt there is double of what's already presented. If it's like 20% missing from image sets yeah I could believe that, but more than double of everything No.

>>8873717
Just in case to check we are on the same page, I don't mean the shitty one that's like only 8TB all combined. I mean the BIG ONE.

>>8873719
>>8873721
i remember there were torrents titled exhentai english and japanese and they had a lot of content in it. gipaf was the uploader.

How come Sadpanda has so many mirrors yet Kemono never got one? Did people just take for granted it would be up forever?

>>8873723
Partially because the main panda is semi-decentralized (via Hentai@Home) and clients can copy the data off to other sites to clone it.
Kemono on the other hand is very centralized on a shitty server, with the devs eating more than they can chew 24/7.

>>8873723
exhentai doesn't have a real mirror. hdoujin doesn't count because schalenetwork is only copying recently uploaded galleries and some galleries on panda chaika. hitomi, nhentai and all the other shitty sites you're thinking of serve only re-encoded resampled pictures or re-encoded original files.

>>8873725
Why is it always a Redditor who doesn't understand what H@H is? When will politicians who refuse to ban you from the internet face justice?

kemono's server is 20 times faster than exhentai, you fucking retard.

>>8873595
Kemono does lose us artists "potential" money, whenever the importers are dead I get a substantial number of new subs.

On the other hand, as much as I like more money, I don't blame people since I too use kemono regularly. I try to support a big number of artist I enjoy, but there are just way too many, and it adds up before you know it . Whenever I find a new guy I skim over kemono to see what he offers, and if I enjoyed it or pretend to come back, I drop him a sub.

It's good manners to drop your artist a sub if they made you come or you keep going back to their stuff. Doesn't have to be every month, a "tip" from time to time keeps the money rolling and the artist happy.

>>8873729
And 20 times deader LMAO

>>8873734
>source trust me goy

>>8873737
wrong, because kemono was the source for most galleries on exhentai for the past 6 years and exhentai blindly rubber stamps copyright takedown requests while kemono made fun of them.

Oh, it's the schizo who hates Sadpanda while not suggesting any alternative or contributing to anything.

>>8873734
>whenever the importers are dead I get a substantial number of new subs

Hey, I never said it's a bad thing. It does provide free publicity and gets people hooked, so whenever the importer goes down there's chance they decide to become subs; which in turn might help convincing them to stay subbed for convinience or having my pages present in their mind for the next kemono blackout.
One of my guilty pleasures is to ego surf kemono and see if my faves number has grown, just another metric to look forward to.
Piracy won't ever be eradicated, people/companies who whine and despair when their shit gets pirated are fighting a never ending losing battle.

Archival sites are a dying breed. Spiraling complexity of websites, lack of competent devs to match that, enormous commitment and time consumption for upkeep no one has anymore, squeezes from big tech and financial institutions snuffing out competition and censorship to spur their own investors shrinking the available hosts and hosting options. Booru.org died well over a decade ago and every attempt to make an open source alternative has failed and only lasted a few months before one of the aforementioned maladies crept in and killed them. AI spam slowly killing and crushing sites like sadpanda..... goodbye pagification.... it's a miracle kemono lasted this long but the writing is on the walls. Despite technology massively improving and what should have produced a golden age of archiving, just the opposite has happened as the environment has become prohibitively unattainable for entry of new users and hosts. Enter a world of never ending, exhausting upkeep, whack-a-mole and an uphill struggle to keep any of these sites alive. It's a shame really, but nobody should be surprised the kemono devs have most likely already scooped and left the project.

In the wake of this extended outage I had a look at the patreon of a girl whose erotic audios I like but the stuff I want is in a tier that is priced at £18/month. It's insane.

I feel like they'd get more subs if they priced it at like £5/month. I'd be willing to pay that. But £18/month is crazy. Makes me wonder if they deliberately want to farm paypig whales and aren't interested in those who can't afford that. But it's not even findom content she's producing. I truly believe if they priced it at like £3-£5/month they'd end up with 10x the number of subscribers.

Is the same with H69verse.
The guy makes incredible 3D videos (Mitsuri, Shinobu, Power, Rangiku) and now Daki, but his tiers are pricey as fuck.
I understand that his videos are extremely high quality and time consuming, but his tiers of 10-25-45 are a little excessive, considering the $45 is the one that gets you the 4k versions.

I can't download zip files from kemono. But I can still download pics manually one by one or with that tool from github. Is it just me or is everyone else having the same issue?

>>8876997
you're only getting the samples that way not the full pic, and yes

thankfully fic writers on kemono are unaffected for now since they just post raw text rather than a file you have to download

>>8877174
Only pre feb 2026 text uploads work, any fic uploads after then that were just plain text show as blank empty entries because patreon changed their text display code, requires literally 2 line change to fix but the kemono admin is retarded so it broke.

Still wondering what the hell happened for the dev or admins of the site to not just, y'know, say anything. No signs of life besides things getting removed such as the partychan. Hell, I'll take a "yeah we're giving up the site" at this point. At least we'd know something besides countless schizopostings.

>>8877397

taking a break, finding a new file server as prices skyrocketed due to americans being ghouls for trying to conquer iran, or turning off original files until someone fixes the importers.

What non-Russia CDNs can you even go to for hosting? Most of Europe will still take shit down or choose not to host you because of porn.

kemono isn't dying. the issue is the admin can't fix or create an importer and he is afraid of accepting help because he thinks they could be a spy from the subscription site.

kemono, nekohouse and coomer are registered under the same company, which has its own autonomous system number.

Gelbooru keeps being mass reported to Cloudflare and other infrastructure companies for violating German laws. And no matter how many times the owner pushes back, the sheer volume of mass reports means they get auto-accepted.
Gelbooru is more or less on borrowed time unless it blocks Germany or the whole EU. I'm not joking. Eventually the mass report campaign will hit something critical, and it'll go down for good.

That's the argument that Gelbooru's dev makes repeatedly, and his argument is accepted and the site goes back up.

Go this poll when using bunkr. So I guess kemono is dead for good?

>>8879408
It was always a minority of people doing the actual importing. It had to be. Over 2000 people uploading is probably sustainable.

>>8879449
It's only a real problem if it is in the low double digits. A majority is always going to be lurking.

>>8879449
I always imported whenever I could, it's not that difficult. But yeah you just need an alternative and as long as 1 guy is importing consistently you really don't need anyone else

I'd rather a private communal sharing site (users required to have at least 1 active subs every 3 months or something) so that you can avoid takedowns and what not much better. Public sites just always get fucked and prioritized by the content sites to block. Plus way less entitled leeches who eat all your bandwidth costs and complain about people not uploading.

Thank god, based bunkr coming to the rescue.

What are the maniacs selecting "Not Really" thinking? There clearly is a demand for this service and we're currently bogged down in the mire waiting to see if kemono/coomer return rather than ripping off the bandaid and filling the vacuum.

I've been trying to put into words why a service like kemono still needs to exist when simpcity/bunkr already exists and I think the clearest reason is organisation. I maintain a bunkr archive for a content creator alongside the simpcity thread created for her and it's a fucking mess.

When I started archiving her stuff it was all spread across multiple different file hosting sites, multiple different posters, multiple different folders. Due to my own autism I have condensed every unique video into a single bunkr album which runs ~70GB in size but it's still a jumbled mess, consisting of what videos others have randomly leaked. And the moment I stop manually adding new leaks into it, it becomes just another abandoned directory among the other 5 or 6 for this creator that already exist.

The big upside of kemono is that the files are self organised by Patreon and the creators. It's all there, in order, and when new files appear on Patreon they appear on kemono. It doesn't rely on the goodwill of people to individually leak files. You need that background automation to avoid a tangled mess of incomplete directories with files all out of order, spread across 100 different folders and posters. If it's more complicated than pressing an update button people won't do it.

>>8879513
When did I ever say kemono complies with takedown requests? And subscription sites absolutely only take action because of public sites, otherwise it would be a non-issue for them.

So I'm not the only one who noticed imports just randomly fucking stopped. Good to know ig

>>8879515
It's more dire than "no imports." You can't even click on any of the existing content, all the hosting servers are down. The most you can do is save the thumbnails.

>>8879516

>bunkr has the problem of constantly being slow, often being offline
True it is often slow and offline but overall it has remained very resilient. Been going strong for years now, albeit with the usual domain hopping. A bunkr album / file which is offline right now but which one can assume will be online later is better than this current kemono limbo.

> knowing very well there aren't many buyfags sharing stuff, as an excuse to tell them no
But that's already the whole model for bunkr, it subsists off of the generosity of people putting their leaked, paid content on there. A kemono mirror is very much in their ballpark.

(he said hoping they read this and make one)

>>8879200
>if you report a site enough then it goes down
Autoban should be revoked. Make lawyers work for their money. Reports should be accepted by human only, not automated bullshit.
Only one thing should be automated, if they report a site it shoud give an auto message, that "this site was already reported, please wait for the response".

>>8879755
constantly being offline, slow and changing domains is the exact opposite of being very resilient, let alone resilient.

i'm pretty sure bunkr doesn't allow the "questionable stuff" that can only be viewed by free users on exhentai.

>>8873734
I used Kemono regularly because it's kind of shitty how you pay a month for all available content only to lose all access after a month is up.
Like I don't want to go through the trouble of saving ever little thing in my computer if I can avoid it.

>>8880117
It depends, some patreons tend to unlock all the shit once you join them which is actually kind of nice, made me find decent enough ones and supported twice just to help out (would recommend supporting one month and wait for like 6-8 months if you don't have the cash atm)
However there are others where you join their patreon and you'll only unlock the CURRENT MONTH content which is one of the biggest i tend to avoid, kemono made that easy to spot and also check if it was worth my time and money
...
Then again, you have seen faggots who ask for 10 (or more) dlls a month for a shit ass game demo that barely has any content, those are the biggest to avoid

>>8880259
>a shit ass game demo that barely has any content
At least with game demos you can kinda do the same thing with it. Where you wait a few months until there's enough new content built up to be worth checking it out.
That is assuming the demo is improving with each version so that only the latest one matters. Which is usually the case but there have been some exceptions.

The monthly set artists are a pain, especially if they don't have any discounts or packages for backlogged content. Even if their standard price is $5/month, it takes $60 to scoop up a previous year's backlog. I feel they're leaving money on the table by not discounting their older works, while their current supporters wouldn't wait over a year just to view it at a discount.

Tor exit nodes are public and so detecting it is near trivial. Remember you still need the login session to access the service, from which they can tell which user is sharing their session, and it's easy to ban them, even if they can't tell which scraper is doing it.

It would've helped in the past before Kemono did their public "haha Imma steal your stuffs and you can't stop me" retardation and every site started implementing countermeasures.

This is why paysites are considered a pain to some even before the likes of patreon and subscribestar.
Speaking of old paysites, does hentaikey even exist anymore?

hi, jew. the newfags who fall for your retarded propaganda will face the same wall as you on the day of reckoning.

I have a few TB saved from coomer and a a couple hundred gigs from kemono, mostly with gallery-dl. I actually built a custom app to manage the content creators I pulled, finished it like 3 weeks before the site started to fail lol.

I have some waiting to be pulled, so hopefully it goes up at some point. I would say it doesn't look good but I also don't expect sites like this to operate at a high level.

Seems like there are already some replacements in the works so I'm not to worried, just bummed some of my archives didn't complete

of course there are people behind paywalls who want an easy to share the content. kemono, yiff.party and those very hard-to-get-into chinese sites have proved that.

this is bunkr's way of saying "we've been asked to copy kemono, which we don't want to, and we're afraid to say no to upset anyone, so we'll pretend there's no interest with this poll", because they know the number of people behind paywalls and willing to share is a very small number. you can't even upload on bunkr without contacting their admin or getting vetoed by one of the admin's friends.

there's also zero proof that bunkr will let you import things like drawings or CGs of lolicon, gore and bestiality on these subscription sites.

>>8881904
kemono was anything but incompetent. the importers worked. the issue is fanbox, fantia and subscribestar would crank up their "anti-crawling" measures (that screwed over non-importing users too) whenever kemono's importer was working.

what made kemono great is they allowed selfless people to share content in possibly the most convenient way ever; kemono didn't mark the images, like some retards like schalenetwork does; kemono saved revisions, like some retards like hentainexus doesn't know how to do; not once did kemono save the resampled picture or missort the files, like you see so many retards on exhentai do; and kemono saved the post's text, release date and time, and everything else.

the era of "kemono-like sites only needing your session to save the paywalled content" is over. now these sites will need to copy the browser user agent and access the content from the same IP address that were used to generate the session, which kemono doesn't want to do because even a casual person who sets up a proxy can do really bad things with it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLo_kI1gcBc.

also, it's fine if you don't want to believe me. i have a friend who works at fanbox and he told me complaints about kemono were mostly coming from chink non-creators. this pretty much confirms they were chink farmers on exhentai, as they're constantly seething that they're not the only group using kemono to farm points on exhentai, and kemono made it possible for people to remove their shitty galleries. if you wanna know who these chink farmers are, it won't be difficult, as they deny being kemono scrapers, whine about other kemono scrapers, and accuse others of farming points.

>>8881939
>kemono was anything but incompetent.
Well the web and servers were solid (if underfunded). But the importers broke all the time, and were too easy to detect. Their opsec was maximum incompetence.
>the importers worked.
...some of the time.
>the issue is fanbox, fantia and subscribestar would crank up their "anti-crawling" measures (that screwed over non-importing users too) whenever kemono's importer was working.
This real issue is that they didn't even attempt to hide their activities in any way.

>>be subcribestar
>>see kemono importing subcribestar posts
>>ban any session accessed by a different browser user agent and IP address
All of which could be worked around. If they were competent. They know my browser user agent from when I interact with the site. For the IP issue, VPNs or proxies exist and could be used in various ways. It could be opt-in anyway for those people who've already gotten warned etc.

>>8881949
Why would Kemono scrapers want Kemono to get shut down? Seems counterproductive to me.

>>8882052
Is useless trying to understand the chink mindset, anon.

>>8881949
Part of me is tempted to conclude that the whole importing operation should be done client-side to side-step that problem. Then, the client hands the data off to kemono.
The other part of me recognizes that would probably give the content sites easy access to the (now client-side) importer itself; would be easier to develop countermeasures. Also, the user would have to download and use some scripts provided by kemono. Not sure how well people will take to that.

>Part of me is tempted to conclude that the whole importing operation should be done client-side to side-step that problem. Then, the client hands the data off to kemono.

Kemono considered giving importers the option to submit files from emails or links in PMs, but decided not to do it, as it'd be impossible to verify the content is real for free, and no one has the time to check for malware.

>>8882950
Require at least 2 people to submit something to be visible, although that could have one person still try to act as a second one. It would mean less is available, but also be harder to detect the source.

>>8882241
I think what could work is if kemono offers a VPN of their scraper IPs to the guys sharing sessions, so we can access the sites through the same IPs.

im a different guy but youre right but is the percentage worth it is there any way to even figure out how many people would have paid.and do none of these creators feel anything from having people enjoy their work like will it only come if the consumer pay for it. there are patreon creators who post their stuff for free after a time, this simple act could possibly stop piracy entirely but why do most not do it, where artists born this way or is it a result of this money based system, if anti piracy is perfected tomorrow ill go outside stare at the sky and daydream like i did all the time as a kid.wait why dont i just do that now, goodbye.

this may surprise you, but it turns out that when people...like the content an artist makes...and the artist...can make a living off of creating that content...the artist will, stay with me now, prefer to make a living off of being an artist rather than working a regular job AND making art on the side!

You could post stuff on F95Zone if there are threads for the artists you're subbed to, or make galleries on the panda if it's just images. If there are videos or PSDs or mod files or anything else you can make a MEGA folder for those, or make .zips and upload to Catbox, and then link them here or in any other threads where it would be relevant. It's certainly not as tidy of a solution as Kemono was, but it works for the time being.

Yeah, I haven't really used that much so I don't know how it works for uploaders, nor do I know if you're even telling the truth or that you need to do all that to post links.
>https://exhentai.org
>1.3 Mbps
>2-3 years to upload 1000 works if they're all 10 MB each
I see math is still not your forte, Andrew.
>and for people who want to download the galleries, they'll have to game the system to collect points to download it
Only during peak hours, or for galleries older than 1 year.
>all that other rubbish about it
Not even going to bother.
>Catbox
Works on my machine.

I will not bully you into tears this time despite all of the plain wrong nonsense you just spewed, mostly because you served the purpose of shitposting at that other retard who was trying to justify anti-scraping artists earlier. But I'd advise you to stop shitting up threads with your godawful 6IQ takes.

there was a Japanese P2P called Perfect Dark.

it died because Japan prosecuted its owner and anyone who uploaded/downloaded on it.

>b-b-but use a proxy

people who share paywalled content are normalfags who demand convenience.

You're wrong about f95, random people upload files there all the time, people with the uploader role then review it and add it to the OP links

also what the fuck happened to /r/ i wanted to check up on the kemono thread there

>>8885805
>/r/ is missing
Oh, so that was why the list of boards changed somewhat.
/r/ got nuked. Some especulation is that it may have been to protect 4chan from getting gaped by US law:

it's actually true, the only exception is when you use up your limit (that old 5k I think, which is still there but is invisible now)
>before catbox died
it's literally right there lmao, are you a turkroach perchance?

>>8885538
Nevertheless, F95 activity absolutely plummeted since kemono died.
I follow like 5 threads and they were very active. Not anymore.

I am sad.

What I don't understand is why a site has to die, and be replaced by something new built from scratch. Why can't the community find a way to transfer a site to new management like it works for everywhere else in the world.

Or at least preserve and transfer the treasures.

when will the madness end

>>8885805
Thanks based anon.

it's hard with proprietary software and no database dumps, the admins have to cooperate.
I wish every website was as open and friendly for syncs/backups as vndb.org (RIP Yorhel), not only the website is open-source and available in git, the database is available as daily dumps as well, and assets such as images are shared through rsync server.
It is trivial to maintain an up-to-date copy of an entire website, and with that data you can simply spin up an exact copy of the website on your own in case it dies someday.

>>8886193
What the other anon said, combined with how the admins have been silent for months now. No one really knows what happened or what's really going, other than the fact that the site's facilities have been failing one by one over time and now you can't even access any content other than the thumbnails.

Can someone explain what is happening over at Fantia? All the artists are in panic mode saying "download now or risk losing everything".
What are the payment processors doing now?!

>>8883857
>>8886382
I haven't been to Fantia since they dropped support for international buyers. What the hell is happening?

>>8886382
Fantia says that artists aren't censoring their genitals enough and goes against japanese law, so they're threatening to delete any offending works by may 25th.

>>8886388
These vague censorship laws are so stupid, you have some artists posting stuff with a tiny black bar on the cock/pussy and getting away with it with zero issues, while others are forced to destroy their stuff with lightsaber dicks or 8bit pussies.

>>8886405
Yeah but if they wrote exactly how the law is to be applied, these perverts would stop living in fear of the police and we can't have that.

Yep, seems that in the end artists are closing their fantia accounts.
Yesterday several were waiting to see the situation but today everyone is saying that they will close or already deleting everything.
Seems that they got hit with a lot of requests to edit and maybe don't want to bother at all.

>>8886405
What are the chances of this being done by actual Japanese politicians?
This has "Globo homo" written all over it. Why Fantia in particular?

>>8886510
Supposedly is to regulate amateur real life content and AV, no idea if to harm or benefit those, some people have theorized such.
But artists are saying that in the end those won't even affected and only the artists are the ones getting fucked.

>>8886510
>This has "Globo homo" written all over it
Nah, those wouldn't care about mosaic censoring making it magically alright, they'd want it gone completely. This is definitely coming from within Japan. Fantia said they received law enforcement requests or warnings, but who put them on their case probably won't become public knowledge.

My pet theory is that they were late with yakuza protection money payments.

>>8886282
my pleasure

>>8886569
globohomo is not above using salami-tactics to get what they want. In fact, it's their go-to. Consider the following:
>Be irrational fanatical globohomo
>Hate R-18 content for reasons
>Manipulate payment processors and credit card companies to bully R-18 content hosts.
>Many Japanese R-18 hosts are forced to restrict access outside of Japan
>Japanese law now has exclusive dominion over how these sites can even make money since they can't sell to foreigners as well.
>Grease a few politician's palms to tighten the screws on adult content.
>R-18 hosts forced to either mutilate their content or not sell to Japan, which is now almost their entire market thanks to the payment processor bullying. (We are here)
>Sites die due to the badly decreased quality service/product.
>Keep the dessicated corpse of these sites around as a fetish to ward off any enterprising folk from starting their own R-18 sites. You will consume the slop and be happy.
>Globohomo wins: Fatality

>>8886680
nice convoluted conspiracy theory tho, you should write a book

>>8886809
Conspiracy theory?
Sounds more like spoilers to me.
When this is revealed as true in 20 years, please assume the apology position.

>>8886510
Japanese politicians are always pushing censorship because it makes them look good since otakus are considered the scum of society in Japan. That's why the one politician going against censorship hasn't been able to accomplish jack fucking shit in a decade or so and in fact things have only gotten worse with more arrests and shit.

Otakus are hated, but they won't change their lifestyle by adding a few more pixels to porn.
Ecchi content has exploded and Korea is doing a lot of it.
All the politicians are doing is forcing more money overseas away from their artists.

>>8886922
Taiwan too.
They even managed to make all tank releases be uncensored now. Pretty impressive.

Kemono dev lost files and etc too? Just thumbnails left?

>>8887391
If I had to guess, kemono dev removed access to files to stop people from crashing the site by scraping what's left. But who knows, it's not like they're talking, everything is up in the air.

the site gained sentience and now she seeks blood

>>8887391
We all share the same pain, anon.
