Can any of you guys tell me if you can view this exhentai gallery?
http://exhentai.org/g/468583/518af5a958/

Looking around, some people seem to be able to access it like normal, but others, including myself, only get "this gallery has been removed and is unavailable". What's going on there? Is that a common problem with ex-hentai?
and no, i'm not talking about the panda

It was something like if your account is over a certain age you can see galleries like this one.

I don't remember the exact details, though, or why this system would have even been implemented.

>> No.9140627

This was discussed on /a/ a few weeks ago. It turns out that, as some sort of reward for having an older account, you have access to an arbitrary selection of submissions, while newer members do not. A reason wasn't given for why this was done or which submissions are secret or not.

Elitism. Like Something Awful features or private torrent trackers.

Sharing is dead.

I can understand elitism in this age of normalfaggotry on my internets, for sick shit like doujin, but how is that gallery any more special than the thousands of already available ones?

Private trackers are hardly inherently elitist. They just attract elitists.
And honestly the internet needs more elitism with the way it's going.

I agree for things like discussion and content *creation*. But if you're sharing other people's work and there's enough bandwidth available, it's completely retarded and artificial.

You get power after a while.
Playing the hentaiverse game can help you to get more power ( Have fun grinding for levels).

I guess the point of the system was to stop people from reporting galleries just because they don't like what is inside.
Even while browsing Ex I can still find people trying to expunge loli doujins.

>> No.9140797

>>9140708
I found some galleries with these tags but I can't see the OP's gallery.

I thought you could still search for tags like loli and shota but you just couldn't upvote them until you get more "power".

It would be kind of funny if they had to implement such a thing just to stop their own community, which to be fair is complete trash, from ruining the site.

>> No.9140872

>>9140648
I have too, but they all flock to it like lemmings. I just hope the internet stays free and open and we don't end up with people sharing doujins and porn on Share/whatever in Japan range-blocking all foreigners off the system, or some sort of nationally implemented ban on cross-border encrypted communications, so we'll always be able to use that.
Exhentai looks like it'll become more and more dominant as people upload to exhentai and nowhere else/upload already available works to exhentai and report the other download links in order to get their points and rewards for downloads of material no longer available elsewhere for the same reasons. And I have a feeling that things are going to get a lot worse once they do take over. They were hostile enough to their users when they were growing, once there is no-one else they'll probably make things incredibly broken unless you pay them/contribute.
In any case, the future looks bleak. At times it seems like no-one on /a/ uses anything else, and you can't even see the name to download somewhere else unless you follow the link to them and give them hits.

(Was it g.e.-hentai a few years back that did this thing where the image shown to you was actually cut into 3 and pieced together by your browser so that you could only download the subimages and would have to piece them together manually if you wanted your own copy? I remember a doujin sharing site many years ago that did that, and it had the only copy of a doujin I wanted, but I can't remember whether it was them or some other random site, but it seems like the kind of shitty thing those people would do.)

>> No.9140877

so uh, why don't they just say you need to have so much power instead of giving people a "gallery removed" message.

There's no one single place to go, but using several sites has its advantages.
For English translated works:

Individual translator blogs.
loli.pant.su
Fakku (Yes, they may have a poor selection, but at least they aren't faggots about you actually downloading what they do have)
Google.com
rs.4chan.org (Dead links everywhere, but you can still find stuff.)
sukebei.nyaa.eu
tokyotosho.info

For Raws:
Sharedb.info
Google

I don't seem to know any Japanese websites particularly worth mentioning for the raws, but sharedb works for most everything, and whatever else there is google can usually find.

You've made my point for me - there is no single, superior alternative site.

You've listed a lot of great sites (I'm ignoring google and fakku), and I love to get things first hand from translator blogs. That said, if I want to fap to anything specific the fastest and easiest way to find it is to use ex.

Of course their site sucks, but it is a central location used by many. Unfortunately, quantity wins over quality when it comes to a doujin index.

Of course, ex would be utterly unbearable if I didn't have millions of GP from uploading my own translations, but I guess that is the cost of convenience.

But why would you upload them there in the first place? If you don't care about causing inconvenience to the viewer, you could upload them to some shitty filesharing site where you gain actual money as commission for downloads?
It'd still be better for your viewers, and you can gain whatever files you want through other means, and keep the extra money.

I upload them on several DDL sites, offer old releases from my own server, and seed torrents of everything.

If I don't upload on ex, someone else will. I might as well do it myself so that I can update the releases and get feedback.

I use ex to search for stuff and then just find a download.
It's good enough for that so I see no reason to stop using it.

or just do what i did, open the main page in one tab, set it to auto refresh every day and leave it like that.

The main e-hentai page? I think I haven't gone there since before they made the game, I went from a level 0 to a level 2 immediately.
