Anyone know the scoop on the infestation of Towleroad posts on DL? Evidently, some people who complained about it yesterday were banned...

Has Mediopolis or Mediapolis (whichever it is) bought Towelroad?

On another thread here, I shared that I was banned for 30ish days for linking a gay NEWS story found at Towleroad on the DL.

I'm sensing pron is OK and encouraged at DL but anything news related of importance that applies to the gay and lesbian community that appears on Towleroad is not OK.

That is just my experience. I haven't been since I saw the funny Mrs PC thread and then, poof, it was gone.

Oh I'm sorry. I misread the OP's post. I thought DL was banning people for saying crap about Towelroad. The mind isn't always the first thing to go. :lol

No, Tybee, you didn't read wrong.

Since the beginning of the week, someone has been posting every single blog post from Towleroad. This prompted someone to start a thread called "DL Presents...Towleroad," where posters were bitching about so many of the current posts being regurgitated from Towleroad. They deleted that thread and now, some posters are claiming that questioning or complaining about the Towleroad posts will get you banned. Weird.

I'm wondering if the recent multiple Towleroad posts were in repose to their deletions in the past.
Who knows what goes on over there.

Ok thanks, I'm glad my brain hasn't completely fried. :lol

But you know, I think it would be easier to solve world hunger than to figure out why those folks that run DL do what they do.

No communication from datalounge.com is another example why that site is in the toilet. There isn't anything being reported about datalounge.com which is surprising. It used to be a great discussion board and website. Now, it's so FUBAR that people are dismissing it as a has-been.

Gay marriage became law and they simultaneously collapsed. Coinkidink?

Yes, Towleroad does seem to be shilling,or affiliated in some way, on DL now. I find it hard to believe that Towleroad is anyone's source for breaking news even within the gay community. Overall, it feels like the collective IQ of the site,or, at least, the people starting most threads, has really dropped off. As a gay guy, I love porn, but do we really need twenty different multi-part threads on it(Ex. Hot Guys With Small Cocks Part 10, Men Presenting Hole, Bush, Taint , Elbow etc)? There are other, much better places on the net to go to for that stuff. I also don't understand why the obsessed stalker fan threads haven't been banned. It seems like any random Instagram "model" can inspire a fifty part threads with constant updates on their mom and friend of a friend's Twitter accounts. Yes, we can ignore them, but new ones pop up everydayWhere did all the smart and funny posters go? Reddit? I've been trying to find them.
