Using pornbb as an example, unless it’s Oron, all the other hosts have to pay to play. That includes image host sites. I was told it is a few thousand dollars a month.

Or whether they gathered enough funds to eventually make a purchase. What is clear is that as soon as the oron lawsuit came into effect, pornbb shut down.

The sites like forumophilia and pornbb typically only allowed file lockers rapidshare (weak affiliate incentives but very popular still), oron, and maybe depositfiles. Other file lockers were paying kickbacks huh? Pay to play (allowed to be indexed on your message board).

With enough scripting skills these file lockers can relatively be one man shows with just some outsourcing. That’s what’s really changed in this modern era.

So if you see DepositFiles under the “allowed hosts” list at pornbb.org, it is because they have paid to have that privilege.

Those of us that care about porn producers and the future of the porn industry are all cheering you on (even though you may never see most of the positive comments if you don’t keep up on the main porn blogs). Thank you for your hard work. Keep kicking the file lockers and bit torrent sites in the proverbial nuts!
