Defunct Websites - what happens to all that content?! I was going to post a general thread about the now closed websites that I miss, but I thought I would expand a little. So, when an adult website closes (for instance Lvlegs) does its content just disappear into the ether, or might it reappear elsewhere? | |

They usually try to sell it to other sites. I get emails from other webmasters that are closing sites and want to sell their material at discount prices. We do not buy from them but I know others do.

I fear your question can have about as many answers as there are closed web sites. You see, what happens to the content depends a lot on where the content came from to begin with. If it was exclusive content, shot by the site owner, then the owner still retains the copyright on the content. They can re-use it on another site at a later time. They can try to license it to another existing site. Or, they can just leave it tucked away and do nothing with it. Sites that use content that they licensed from others don't stop that content from being used just because they close their site. In most cases, the content is also licensed by others. So you see, there is no one simple answer to the question. BTW, welcome to PU.

This is a subject that is near and dear to my heart. There are some sites that went dark but had really good original content. I think it should reappear somewhere. Pure Beauty Magazine was one. Denude Art didn't last but a few months, but had some great stuff. Same goes for the penultimate version of VirtuaGirl, though that should be in 2000 px, not their old 1190 or smaller. And then there are the solo model sites, which I believe are the most likely not to get licensed out, though I can't say why, should there even be one particular reason. Linda O'Neil had some wonderful stuff, though the pics were published in only 800 pixels. Sanja Matice did most of her enormous collection at 1600, though she had 3000 px photos that she only published once a week on an ad hoc basis. Would be nice to see all of that stuff again. I wanted something new, so I left England for New England. | |

There should be a law passed that says sites with original content must either be resold to existing sites or given to BadAndy -- the unofficial universal library of porn. That way when the modern world finally finds a way to destroy itself future generations will have plenty of anthropological "spank" material to judge us by ... I'm sure it was Shakespeare or Yoda who said "Judge me not by the size of my member, rather by the material that makes my member work." Anyway, if BadAndy has all the good unused stuff then maybe they'll make room for backup copies of his hard drives in Svalbard ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svalbard_Global_Seed_Vault]).

There is an internet porn black hole. When a site shuts down the webmasters are no longer there to fight the gravity and all their content gets sucked up. I should talk to western digital about getting a global porn recovery vault. I would be glad to lend a hand.

I have to chime in and say that I did come up with an idea for a Global Porn Vault back in the Timeless Porn thread I started last February. If you don't have anything to entertain you after a global apocalyptic event what's the point in saving all those damn seeds, you might as well just die and  .I sort of agree with WG that there should be a law passed but that instead of passing the material onto other sites it should automatically become public domain and be distributed for free. The federal government should dissolve the FCC and in its place create the FPP (Federal Porn Panel) to organize and archive the goods for Internet users. Once all the scammers, spammers, and stealers get an idea of what they could have been paying for they will start paying for new stuff and keep more sites from going defunct. Okay maybe not, but I doubt even badandy has enough space for all the material...at least for now.  "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I was going down Memory Lane and recalled this one, which still is "up" but not really running (no longer joinable): prettylilpanties. Didn't have zips, but had some great exclusive softcore stuff of Kirsten Price/Jadra Holly. I joined it once, back in Nov. 2005. Too bad that stuff can't be put back on the market. Even better was this site called Superlicious. Had a LOT of exclusive content, usually at 3000 px (photos of course) of several of those darling Euro babes like Mili Jay and Klara/Zoe. I wanted something new, so I left England for New England. Edited on Apr 16, 2010, 05:38pm | |

Ever smell hardware burning up? That is what the black hole smells like from all the data writing, but with a hint of fish.

Interesting answers folks! I've always suspected the existence of an internet porn black hole myself. LVLegs (as my for instance in my opening post) had acres of IMO great content and it just disappeared into thin air when the site folded. Shame. | |
