Starting from scratch, almost As mentioned elsewhere, I lost the majority of my collection to drives that went bad. Stupid me had no backup. Whatever, what's done is done. I still have 4TB of older stuff (about 2 years), but lost 8TB which included all my newer stuff. So, where to begin building up my collection again? I can't decide. One thing I'm not interested in is joining a supermarket network that has bland stuff just to build up my collection. I know what I like and wanna stick with it. And that is mostly ethnic (Asian, Latina and some European) and nothing remotely connected to the likes of San Fernando. Feel free to pop in with suggestions! | |

I haven't been a member there in a while, but Wow Girls might be a good start. They have a lot of exclusive stuff and feature some of the best European models in the business. They's also been around a while so they have a lot to offer. https://www.pornusers.com/review/wowgirls/ I have a lot of empathy for you, jook. I don't want to be 'that' guy, but I am really anal about backing up. There are times when I think that may be overkill and then I read stories like yours and know that any time and expense spent backing up my collection is well spent. | |

I know just how much it sucks to lose your porn collection because I've been there. Here are some of my suggestions. 1-Since you may be starting from scratch or at least with a cleaner slate than you might want to first think about the stuff you saved more out of habit than any actual desire to watch at a later date. The two biggest advantages with doing that is you may not have to download as much as you used to and it will take less space if you are downloading less content. 2-If any content in your collection came from sites that are still active then I would join those first because you don't have to do any research to find that content. 3-I know you have already thought about it but it doesn't hurt to say it again. make sure to have a backup to your content so that you don't wind up where you are now. 4-If some of the content in your old collection is now much harder to find than let us know what it was and maybe some of us can suggest other sources to help you. The best advice I can offer for now is be patient and don't give up hope. I have been able to find some stuff that I never thought I would so I know it's possible. You just have to be a little lucky. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Pat is right, we all download and download and lots of the time never get around to watching half of them, I've learned to be much more choosier in what needs to be downloaded, I used to think get your moneys worth and grab all and delete later if boring, trouble is it takes ages to be arsed to go through a collection to find ones you want to keep, I'm about to start trawling through mine to cull half or more, so much I'll watch, no point, I intend to just backup the alltime favs cause I think I could live with losing most of it to be honest. I'm one of them who kind of gets a thrill in the find and discovering new porn. Still it sucks you lost so much and so many was new stuff. Hopefully you can find and get again some of the stuff you'll miss the most. "Women are like tricks by sleight of hand, Which, to admire, we should not understand." WILLIAM CONGREVE | |

RA, good suggestion, WOW seems a good place to start. I was a member in the past. And thank you Pat and elephant for your thoughts. And yeah, I'll probably go back to some recent sites that I liked and join again. Not to worry, at least I won't anymore -). A well-thought out backup plan is in effect - see the thread on external drives. I've already backed up the 4TB I had remaining. I've come up with such a crazy system but fairly thorough. Believe it or not, videos are not my most valuable commodity. I have over 1TB of a life-time of music collecting which I would die if I lost. I got 2 small externals for them. Then I got another small external for my computer backup. And for videos, I got a drive enclosure which can accommodate 40TB. I think I'm set, at least for a while.  Any other specific suggestions would be appreciated. | |

Hah, so I finally ran into a problem with disputing a credit card charge. I have no recollection, but apparently I did so with Vendo and I'm blacklisted from their sites, which includes WOW. Not a big deal, they must have done something shady. I did notice several pre-checked cross sales when I went to join and it's my guess the dispute was as a result of that. Anyway, there's plenty of other fish in the sea. | |
