What's new

Does the forum seems a bit quiet these days to anyone else?

I rarely went to f95zone. mostly because I only go there when the thread here is gone or inadequate (well, for downloading).

most of the time I prefer ULMF since I have a perception that F95 is just ULMF but filled with more rude people, that's all.

I'm a member of a mobile game forum and I can say that I think several people is still taking their sweet times through holiday.

I prefer the ulmf over f95 as the ulmf has the best users I've seen.
Everyone's respectable, people engage with your content, and a lot of users are passionate about content that topics about new games get made relatively fast.

Second, the typical user here fucking sucks.
I'm going to be honest, and say, I actually have no idea what you mean. Though to be honest, I don't look around the entire site. I only engage in parts of it.

My only issues are the fact that the mobile version of the site is a bit glitched because of the ads.

To be fair, you've yet to run afoul of our more cancerous members. They're out there though...

This is my first message here on ULMF. If I have any grammatical errors and may have offended you in some way, then I am sorry in advance.

I like mobile games and have been playing some of them from different sites. And yes, I will agree that people often make an account just to access the links for a game in this site. In my opinion, it is just the same for every site with a game that captivates and attracts an audience. I also found this site just to find one game that caught my attention via other sites, memes, and some webm's.

While I was typing this in mobile, it is very difficult just to input a whole sentence without ever lagging. People would recommend to just get a PC or a Laptop but not too many people have them. Cellphones are very common and is needed in everyday life for communication, business, schedules, and private/personal matters that take people's time almost from 40-70 percent either playing games, texting, taking pictures, looking up news, social media sites and marketing, etc. I wonder if something can be done to improve the site and solve issues one by one.

I hope that I did not bother everyone from typing too much and I should really have introduced myself but I saw this thread and got interested, and so responded here first.

We're all lazy to some extent so I would assume the stricter requirements turned a lot of people off from wanting to post here. The only other reason I can think of that would have resulted in a drop in forum activity is that there are easier sources for people to get their adult content from these days.

I believe this site was one of several major venues for free hentai content sharing along with HentaiPalm and Hongfire, other sites have since rose up that aren't bound by sharing policies like having to register to view links or having to wait a few days for the creator of the content awaiting to be shared to earn enough money off of it first as part of some honor code. No, other sites just let you grab what you're looking for with little to no hassle (aside from having to put up with file hosting sites with their Free vs. Premium limitation bullshit) and you can go about your business.

And then there's the change in forum layout, I'd think a lot of people still haven't gotten used to it yet. Personally I do miss the simpler vBulletin layout this place previously had.

Just... no. You seem nice enough but you're saying some very dubious things. Lots of people have either a PC or a Laptop. I've never owned a smartphone and I can tell you that I get along just fine.

Darkfire and I don't have access to the systems that would need to be modified to address any issues with the forum's mobile view, so you should probably create a thread in forum development to make the people who do have access to those systems aware of them.

Well, I did say that I might offend some people and I'm sorry about that. It might just because that I'm in a third world country that I have the opinion of people there have phones. It's just my opinion.

I might do that or just wait for someone else to make it. I'm not very good at describing or explaining technical and software stuff. Thanks for replying back.

I think the smartphone thing is more for younger generations, they all have those things and use them a lot. I do think that people will generally use a PC or laptop for their porn- Bigger screen, better audio, better experience, but for casual browsing I can completely understand using the phone to read posts and maybe post some stuff though.
Even if I don't use the things, smartphone use is on the rise and mobile layout and performance are important for casual use

But as someone else posted, it seems that issue might be specific to that one phone or connection causing lag. Definitely worth bringing up in case it's a structural thing and more people are dealing with it on their phones though

Part of it is to prevent the "download and report" types, which are often unregistered visitors.
We haven't allowed game download links for longer than I can remember. The only downloads lefts are partial and save files. Are those even covered under DCMA?

Wat? Who told you that? You can post all the links you want that aren't 1. underage content 2. virused or 3. requested by the dev not to be.

We don't allow people to request links anymore.

Seconding this. I really have to ask here: what is it about the rules that people are misinterpreting that they think we're not allowing download links? The only possible way for anybody to misinterpret the rules like this, after more than a year after it was put into place, is if you purposely avoided reading the rules ever, ignored all of the public warnings that all the mods hand out when people get banned for link begging, AND ignore all the various posts made that refer to the rules, including the ones in this thread.

It’s the impression you get when you see someone bitching about link sharing.

Probably doesn’t help that others are quick to shoot people down making it look like links aren’t allowed.

And who wants to sit and read another set of rules they’ve read before. Shit, I’ve been on this site for a while. Lurked it even longer. Heck, back in my day we had to walk fifty miles in the snow just to get to one of them fancy internet tubes. And it was fir dial-up! You kids don’t know how good you’ve got it! Get off my porn lawn!

Whatever happened to reading the rules and then toeing them as close as possible to see what you could get away with?

Ah my bad. I mixed up "no asking for links" and "no posting links".

I spend less time here for several reasons. (and by the way I had an older account on here with a LOT more posts and contributions that I lost when I had to reformat and was too stupid to write my passwords down anywhere)

The first reason was Starke taking a lot of the talented translators and getting them to keep their work behind his shitty pay site. There there is the whole loli thing (a girl with small breasts isn't necessarily loli, guys). There is the discouragement of actually sharing anything on here, I didn't always come here to grab stuff but sometimes I did and there are other sites where that is much easier or even possible. And lastly, the new format for game submission is anal as fuck and it's really annoying that some games just get buried meaning you don't even know if what you are looking for will still be there. It's hentai games, the level of "quality" they try to enforce now is ridiculous and over the top.

Anyhoo that's my two cents from someone who used to spend a LOT of time on here but now I just come here occasionally or when a google search happens to lead me here. I'm sure none of you care but I saw this topic and figure I would reply anyhoo.

Nah, people are just absurdly lazy and the kind of filth that was allowed previously drove me (and quite a few others) away from reading any posts in H-games. We were, and always will be, a forum focused on the DISCUSSION of H-games, not your tech-help center, not your 1-stop hub for pirated games, 100% saves and translations. Those things are allowed because they increase the number of people that can participate in said discussion. Moreover, if you can't manage to create an OP that passes muster in 10 minutes, you've either misread or misunderstood the criteria that was given. Hell, there's even a thread dedicated towards helping people produce OPs that will meet the standard!

By the gods yes. Idk about the 10 minutes length but I've made the op for detective girl of the steam city, iirc gameplay, controls, maybe howtoplay/ hints (I was maybe halfway the gangster route before realizing that receiving case is by the detective desk). Much better if you add your impression playing it (which can't always be done since usually thread is made when the game is announced and by the time the demo/game came out the original OP might already left).

Leviathan H game thread is still locked when I was stuck this past week and try to search for a guide. Luckily it's on steam and there's guide there (actually kaguya games made that, OP simply adding maps). I did read some of the page and that was from when the game was in development and untranslated so can't really complain.

Well, "if you want it done and you can do it yourself, then do it."

I does kinda uses this forum for troubleshooting, but even then I'm mostly a lurker as either the game is still on development, the other says it's not worth it, or I just forget about it.
I still remember that chaos heaven thread is filled with the mods and stuff that kinda bloated to... Idk how many pages.

The requirement does take a little to get used to, but once you have written a few OP you can create new ones really quickly, and having OP that are actually informative is very useful.

I do wish more people would post their 100% saves though. The Chinese forums have too many requirements and loops that you need to jump through before you are allowed to download stuff. SSTM in particular wants you to write a 300 word introduction essay before you can start posting (downloading is much further down the road).
