Buy up his books before they are gone forever? Idk.
@MagickalStudent569 Letās not take that bridge itās to close to the politics one.
Oops wrong direction to wrong person required re-edit.
Andā¦edit done
Thankfully his stuff is still up on amazon.
Fair enough
If thatās the site Iām thinking of, to be fair they had groups discussing actual illegal activities, and had become a known place for predators to hide, claiming these as mere ākinksā but were actually real pedos and criminals.
The ban was due to 4 topics that were freely discussed: vore, incest, r*pe and underage.
All groups with these topics were deleted and thereafter heavily modded for the site to get itās payment processing back. I was a mod there for several groups and had to do some of that work, and had less extreme groups I was in relating to blood play deleted. (Yeah, Iāve been around.)
I will just emphasize:
BALG forum rules expressly prohibit discussion of any kind of physical violence or sex with minors, as well as other illegal topics, never mind anything like the above, as well as politics.
The payment processors donāt have the same motivation, I think thatās worth bearing in mind, but is not related to Youtubeās decision. At the moment, the BALG website is a separate entity, its has nothing to do with youtube other than uploading videos to an account there.
The BALG website is hosted by Cloudflare, which you can see for yourself in the Whois database. Cloudflare are not Youtube. Itās unlikely they will cease hosting, but itās not impossible. If that happened BALG would have to find another hosting provider.
I donāt think we need to look for problems we donāt have.
It was that site and the site that rhymes with
Is that a skillet or a pan thoughš
Sunny Side Up Egg? Thatās pretty specific.
Guys please.
Sorry Iāll take my pan related jokes elsewhere
@dagar for that I face pans at you (intentional misspelling)
And ya I went there with the very bad pun.
Yāall this was about the card processor is threatening to leave due to illegal activity. Thatās the only reason they were brought up. It could happen to BLAG if this BBC stuff gets blown up since it too was illegal.
Yeah, the timing was poorly eggecuted lol
Eggxatly
BALG does not allow the discussion of illegal activities and the moderators are doing a very good job making sure these rules are followed.
There is literally nothing that BALG has done wrong, so calm down everyone already.
Fair enough ok.
Iām calm but in a few minutes gonna bow out of the convo for a bit cuz moms got an appointment to get her tooth fixed finally dunno how long thatāll take but anyhoo
Iām chill about this subject cuz weāre still here
What Iām not so chill about today is getting mom ready for her appointment. But anyhoo til laterz
I know. We were talking about the processors and how it looks. For the business side. Since this all is fed but a groupās bad blood with the founders. Not the forum since the police have cleared them. People are calling to case issues with the business side of things. Which is awful live and let live.
It started with a shooting with children in a home, then the BBC and now YouTube, Facebook and Instagram, next will be patron and the business site until they are happy.
Thatās what I was answering to nothing with the forum since it was legally clear. But witch hunters are making stress.
For the other site that wasnāt BALG? Yes, That didnāt have yt channels at all, and is not related to this discussion. Neither are the reasons it was in trouble, as I explained above, it had gone a bit darkweb on the extreme noncon BDSM (aka planned assault and worse) and directly enabled illegal activity, in plain sight. (And a lot went that was legal too, but, this is why we canāt have nice things.) Itās a completely different topic.
It got revenue from memberships, so without a payment provider no membership dues could be taken and that was effective leverage. BALG forums are not just legal, theyāre polite and legal BALG sells directly but also through Amazon. At the moment neither Amazon, nor Patreon have cancelled them. I would be surprised if the payment processor for begomealivingggod .com pulled out for something so minor, unprovable and not political.
Iād love it if they moved to Subscribestar myself, I stopped using Patreon when they cancelled the first yt channels for wrongthink last year, and I wonāt use them.
I was responding g in agreement with @Brand_New ās statement of possible next steps and then it went somewhere else else.
