Talk:YouPorn

The list belongs better in Porn 2.0 which is where I moved it. AxelBoldt 21:52, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Corporate Agenda

Just wondering if it's worth mentioning Bill O'Reilly has talked about this site specifically on his show several times, even showing a screenshot of the entry page. He says bad things about it, but it's almost like he wants people to check it out. I'll see if I can find a citation on the fox website. CashDude (talk) 09:29, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Glitch

The glitch mentioned is now gone, when the leave button is pressed it leads to wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.29.40 (talk) 18:24, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Blocking

I think Malaysia blocks it too. Although the Malaysian government had promised under the MSC Agreement not to censor the internet, it appears that Malaysians (incl. me) cant access YouPorn. --60.50.73.210

<quote> Following a request by a competing pornography service, German provider Arcor started to block YouPorn and a few other porn sites at the routing level in September 2007[16], affecting over 2 million users. </quote>

Thats not correct. Arcors DNS-Server couldn't resolve in Sept 07, but IP wasn't blocked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.67.134.210 (talk) 14:38, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Singapore

This site does not appear to be blocked in Singapore. Redtube however actually is. Can anyone else confirm this? PlopperZ (talk) 14:45, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

It's certainly blocked by Singtel with an MDA notice. Jpatokal (talk) 12:13, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

YouPorn has been called "a good role model for the sexually naive", as many of its homemade videos depict ordinary couples having ordinary sex, as opposed to the often unreal scenarios of commercial porn

Really? "ordinary couples"?? when was the last time you and your partner had sex with 6 other guys, in public. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.154.163.174 (talk) 14:37, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Uhh... Link plz. User:Bxistaken —Preceding undated comment was added at 03:02, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Turkey

Turkey blocks it either since 23.11.2007.

Downloading

The site appears to have removed the flv download link for the videos as of 9/15/2008. As of this date, there are no previews for any videos. Also, the "Related Videos" and "Featured Videos" sections are unpopulated or missing. Ara Praxis (talk) 20:18, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

• Update

Some of the more recent videos have been showing previews for their movies. However, it seems that all amateur porn has been removed from the site and replaced with hardcore pornography. 98.150.166.112 (talk) 03:37, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Yeah for some reason youporn deleted all of their videos about a month or 2 ago and replaced them with some new ones, and surprisingly it seems that amateur vids aren't being added anymore and a lot of the vids seem to be previews for movies you can buy and even feature a link to where you can buy it, personally this leads me to believe that sice youporn has has had an increase in good quality porn and a decrease in amateur porn that while the site still says that you can upload videos thaey really got rid of it and started adding their own vids, though it could also be that they deleted the old vids since alot of them were pirated and began adding only new ones of high quality and not amateur along with ones that they upload personally as ads so as to generate revenue. also i should note that lots of their vids say youporn at the bottom right hand corner. (207.172.55.227 (talk) 07:21, 1 November 2008 (UTC))

This article is inaccurate as it stands: the youporn site it describes does not exist anymore. All content is professionally made now and all amateur content has been taken down. Also users can not upload their homemade videos anymore. This article needs to be rewritten to reflect the new reality.

External Links

Is there a reason it's not a link? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.232.23.134 (talk) 02:57, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

why is this page protected, it reads like an advertisement for youporn in many ways and could sure use some editing. The site is not as much about web2.0 and user generated content as it is about pure piracy.Copyrightthieveswillpay (talk)

The URL has been blacklisted. Why? I don't know. m:User:COIBot/LinkReports/youporn.com might help explain. -- Longhair\^talk 22:41, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

RfC: External links

Is it a reason for us not linking to www.youporn.com? Nsaa (talk) 16:57, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

• I think there needs to be a clear reason for not linking if this is to be the case. A link would be natural in most circumstances, YouTube for example. Martin Hogbin (talk) 23:50, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

• The link was blacklisted by a bot it seems, or on the advice of the bot, per the report at m:User:COIBot/LinkReports/youporn.com. I think it's just merely a matter of requesting the URL be unblocked as there doesn't appear to be any large scale spamming of the link occuring. -- Longhair\^talk 01:58, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

It's declined at meta:Talk:Spam_blacklist#YouPorn.com, It's possible to ask for a whitelisting at MediaWiki_talk:Spam-whitelist. Nsaa (talk) 09:37, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

• I think the problem does not lie with linking to the main page but rather that some may add links to individual videos. Darrenhusted (talk) 10:00, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

In which case whitelisting should work - the "safe" home page, for example, can we whitelisted leaving the blacklist to block links to individual videos (at least I'm fairly certain that's how it works!) Unusual? Quite ^TalkQu 21:36, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

German Wikipedia de:YouPorn#Weblinks uses a tinyurl kind of service to override the meta blacklist http://tiny.sk/ggd2kg7j, but I'm not sure if this is a good solution? Nsaa (talk) 11:16, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

• I'm all for including a link. Is there anyone who opposes it? The issue with blacklists and botreverts is of later concern once there is a consensus that the link should be there. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 12:51, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
• Is the material legal in the US.? Is it non-copyvio? then there's no reason to avoid linking to it. The home page of the subject of the article should otherwise always be a link. WP is Not Censored. DGG (talk) 01:48, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

external link not working

{{editsemiprotected}} External links* www.youporn.com - Official Site is not working in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youporn

 Not done. The website is blacklisted so can't be linked too, so I removed the link altogether, the address is in the infobox if needed--Jac16888 (talk) 19:03, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Stupid wikipedia censorship!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.29.87.194 (talk) 00:06, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

A sourced fact is misinterpreted as "Original Research"

Fact: When you press "Leave" on YouPorn's age-check page, you go to the multilingual Wikipedia portal page - WWW.wikipedia.org.

Source: The age-check page itself; simply press "Leave" and you'll see for yourself.

Reliable?: If it's the page of the subject of the article, you'd better darn well believe it is!

Original research: Theory without basis in fact nor a reliable source to back it up.

Is Original Research synonymous with solid fact?: This Wiktionary edit will tell you.

Despite evidence to the contrary, various users still revert the fact, persistently claiming "original research." --Let Us Update Special:Ancientpages. 18:53, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

If you select LEAVE on that site's opening page, on my PC at least, it takes you to http://www.wikipedia.org/. Why that would be, I couldn't say. The question is whether it does that for everyone, or if it only does it for those who happen to have a wikipedia cookie that it's latching onto somehow. So it's still, arguably, original research. You would be well-advised to find a reviewer somewhere that confirms its behavior. Beyond that, "if you do such-and-such" is not good encyclopedic writing.
