Vrsumo2017 I'm starting to think this is a burner account.
Why would anybody on here as a user suggest a reason to remove downloads ?

Silly-Sausage bro because I have a porn addiction, vr porn! you give me a download I will happily download the whole site, lol I have, but im speaking from my experience, for me having downloads is not good, it's time consuming, and I feel I need to down all i can, it became a problem for me, I had to buy more tb drives that got filled up real quick, and then when u have no more space you there trying to delete files you think u don't want, I got rid of lots of old navr scenes I thought I didn't want just to make space, now I wish I hadn't but they're there on the site for viewing but they have no streaming only available. So I just check out there trailers, and honestly really not missing much at navr
But no bro I'm no bot, I'm just speaking from my own experience.
I bet there's a lot of consumers out there that don't subscribe just for the fact they don't want a download available for them, they'll go crazy! So instead they watch trailers, free vr vids or them short vr trailers that like 10minutes long.
Idk, I'm just saying I been suggesting this for years, totally made no since to me they never had streaming only subscription as another option even tho it was crap streaming on oculus browser back then and crap on some vr apps they should of been offering it, but today's different, streaming vr porn works a whole lot better, for me it does, I wanna see it happen.
One day I can see it being more like a Netflix or a Amazon prime, and you'll subscribe, right, but also there will be other channels you can purchase to unlock. Like top sites who are stinngy with there content lol, imo we need all vr sites in one location, full of content, free content, paid content, you'll never miss out on what's new. It's all there. But some sites you going have to pay to unlock some channels.
But yeah, crazy shit going on, times are changing, the internet is changing.
Silly-Sausage Why would anybody on here as a user suggest a reason to remove downloads ?
I'm not suggesting that, never have never will, I been suggesting for years.
I said streaming only subscription as an alternative to what they have now.
Let the consumer choose if they want the downloads or the streaming only sub, is what I'm suggesting.
We need downloads, I might not always have good streaming capabilities, I know plenty of consumers travel so they definitely need the downloads.
But if only meta would offer some kinda internet severice on there headsets, internet on the GO, travelers may not need to download, if the streaming is good. But yeah...we need the downloads, personally I don't need them, but I know a lot of you do need it. So I'd never suggest getting rid of the downloads, that's stupid.
Vrsumo2017 I get that you want a cheaper sub option but that's not what this thread is about
Hairsational I get that you want a cheaper sub option but that's not what this thread is about
What do you mean, I'm advocating to keep the downloads but also give an alternative option.
The vr sites are advocating no downloads. Not me. Lol
vrpicasso they somehow took over the oculusnsfw sub with that bullshit thread listing VRporn as everyone's favorite website, based on a poll which didn't even include them. The poll was open for like 3 days or something, initially excluded SLR
Man... I remember hearing something about this, but thank you for reminding us again with the links and how VRPorn.com wasn't even on the initial poll! I've actually submitted "mod mail" to the moderators 2 weeks ago after the news of the download button, to try and get this sticky post edited, or have the top sites removed, but they haven't responded (nor do I imagine they will).
I really wish we can somehow get that post removed... It's truly a disservice to new customers. It's not at all indicative of trustworthy VR sites, and sites that produce good VR content. Even putting aside that the results were fixed / doctored, the rankings are severely outdated too.
There was a tiny ounce of belief that I thought maybe VRB isn't so dense and stupid that there has to be another reason besides piracy that they removed downloads... But nope. After reading that, and uncovering some of the May 25, 2023 posts pointing towards piracy as the reason... really shows just how dumb VRB is. The pirates will still be able to rip/download the scene and post it on the internet. What VRB did by disabling downloads only punishes their paying subscribers. The ones that actually pay for their porn! Pirates will always find a way. My goodness VRB... idiots.
Well, 414 replies and 254 posts later, in less than 2 weeks, VRB has locked the forum discussion without a single official reply.
Expected nothing less from VRB.
g2kbuffetboy Posted a long post on VRB forums today highlighting the May 25, 2023 shill accounts:
https://forum.vrbangers.com/d/2382-this-is-how-vrbangers-really-feels-about-their-paying-customers
VRB also just deleted my posts and thread here ^
SchnuppiLilac LOLLLL wow... VRB has no spine...
I assume my forum account will be suspended soon enough... surprised it's not yet considering they just deleted a bunch of my posts.
SchnuppiLilac Same thing just happened to me, “suspended indefinitely.”
Didn’t harass anyone. Just stated my own disappointed in their discission to take away downloads, the issues using playa desktop app to download, acknowledged the fake accounts posting on videos and supported others posting their issues. LOL
Donnie32 Man... my account is still active! I will be offended if I am not suspended lol
g2kbuffetboy Make a post about how they are deleting posts and banning users who speak out about the download removal. That'll probably do it
Is the post about the lawsuit still there? I'd imagine that would have been removed quickly.
Donnie32 Lolllll. So true.
And yeah, that post got deleted earlier as well.
Update: the ENTIRE download thread is gone now, every post and reply.
g2kbuffetboy Everyone who was calling out their obviously fake accounts to praise all their own videos and talk crap back at their users, seem to be gone now too.
Man... seriously. VRB videos are only to be acquired on the high seas, from this point forward. I will never give that company money again.
Last thing I saw was that they were called out for tampering with the Terms & Conditions. They officially claim they have updated them on June 10, two days before users were notified in the forum. One user had quoted a section of the T&C related to downloads in the forum on June 14, and the same user had noticed on June 24 that the part of the T&C that he had quoted had been secretly changed between June 14 and June 24, while VRB is still claiming that the last update took place on June 10.
What they had added to the T&C retroactively was the fact that downloads are available only in the PLAY'A App.
g2kbuffetboy I assume my forum account will be suspended soon enough... surprised it's not yet considering they just deleted a bunch of my posts.
You may as well have been suspended - that forum is totally pointless now, the truth is out there !
The way they handled it is nuts. They must really believe that they can sweep it all under the carpet with no consequences. It tells you everything you need to know about the management at that place, if it wasn't already obvious.
Their posts under the alt accounts reminded me of how Jimmy reacted when he got called out here too.
Got an e-mail from VRB, stating the reason for my suspension, and I quote: --- ---
I could be wrong but I think it means that I have won a trip for two to Vegas!
Suspension from the forum also means that I can't view the comments below the scenes on the website anymore, so I am completely in the dark now. It was remarkable to see all users without a single exception agreeing that VRB's decision and way of operating is just wrong. All users that at first appeared to have a different opinion turned out to be VRB fake accounts.
I am still a valued member of the VRC community. Like VRB, the forum is a 'Joined May 25, 2023' family gathering. While the download button is still there, the T&C of VRC have been updated on June 10 as well and already contain the 'downloads are available only in the PLAY'A App' clause. Someone asked in the forum whether there are plans to get rid of downloads on VRC as well. I don't expect a reply.
