Who Is In Charge Here?

I'm writing on the assumption that I'm not the only person who was locked out by the popup from an age verification routine that was more intrusive than an IRS audit during a colonoscopy. No way I'm giving away that much into. If I'm wrong, stop reading now. If I'm right, I have to ask, who is responsible for maintaining this site? With no ads to support it, who is paying the bills? Moreover, who is responsible for the site's safety? It seems that the age verification bullshit was blocking the site for 3 days. It had also blocked the site several months ago. It's not that I'm ungrateful for the site being here. And I suspect that the reason for the weekend long blockade may be that this generous benefactor who is single-handedly running this thing was away for the holiday weekend. The site needs some fine tuning as several things are no longer working. Maybe with some transparency, we could make it better.

It may be because some over the more conservative states have threatened to sue site that don't require age verification. Here in Texas they have done so.

I've never had that problem at home in Idaho. I was across the border in Washington state a few days ago and went to check this site and it wanted all this information. I declined to go through with it. The site worked fine when I got back into Idaho.

It is spam! It comes it goes! The admins should be able to block it!

was a scam

Basic reply to previous comments. Age verification does not require divulging all the information that that obvious scam was mining for. And nobody so far has addressed the question of who is running this site. Yes, an admin should have removed it. Who is an admin and why did it take over 3 days?

I've seen it several times when trying to visit the site. Once, seems like I closed the site, and reopened, and it was gone, one other, saw I didn't have the vpn on, it disappeared when it was on.

After drew passed away, I believe his brother took over management of the site, so while its been watched over, it does not have an active visible admin presence, such as an admin name posting on the forum. it does not mean that there is not an admin presence tho.

The age verification scam is not part of the site, it can activate when a person accesses the site, but its just a eternal pop up, not part of the site. A bit like the * your PC has a problem, please ring this number * pop ups, most spam / pop up blockers block them so many people never see the age verification pop up........

So the admin can not remove it from the site, because its not part of the site and they have no direct control over it......

I don't believe it is a scam, although it may be. Many states have enacted child protection laws requiring all sites that contain more than 33.3% content that could be harmful to minors must maintain age verification or face huge fines. Here in TN, it goes into effect on 1/1/2025 and this site is already blocking visitors from the site. That said, when I turn on my VPN and change location to different location, I get in fine. All this said, I DO NOT recommend anyone hand over their personal info to these verification systems. Invest in a VPN and change your location instead. I can support child protections, but our feeble, out of touch Senator Marsha Blackburn and others are countering with claims that we are required to show I.D. to enter bars, clubs, or adult establishments so we should have to do the same online. She won't acknowledge there is a huge difference between flashing a gatekeeper your I.D. at a venue VS. submitting your D.L. #, Birthdate, etc. online to be stored and accessed by anyone in authority or smart enough to hack the system.

There's a lot of misinformation in this thread. Many of our southern or Great Plains states now require that sites with adult content require proof of age or block access. I'm tempted to rant about these states, but I'll stay on point. You can read about the service that Bisexual.com uses - https://ageverification.org/ . My initial research reveals that this is not a group of Chinese or Russian state sponsored hackers or West African or South Asian scammers. The risk is if the site storing the information is hacked then the hackers have several pieces of your PII which could be used for nefarious purposes. Consider investing in a good VPN; one with multiple locations. If the budget isn't there then ask your friends and family if they have a family plan. If they do then perhaps they could gift you one of their licenses. If you execute financial transactions on your smart phone using a wireless connection then a VPN isn't a bad idea anyway. Alternatively turn off the javascript for https://ageverification.org/. Another option move to a better jurisdiction. I doubt that these policies will deter your typical teen or tween from accessing adult content.
