A Mirror Site Operator's Heartfelt Letter About the Adult Content Crackdown

May 10, 2026 Censorship-Related Update Share: On May 1, 2026, we were blocked by Cloudflare, and as a result, we removed Cloudflare. After that, we went through a considerable amount of infrastructure work to meet the May 11 schedule. Since serious work began today, I believe there were significant connection issues on this site. Currently, some of the work has been completed, and we've confirmed that the site is accessible normally except for certain domestic telecom providers. We considered technical reviews and cost issues, and we've been thinking about what will happen starting tomorrow. The reason 'w' was created is because similar sites didn't consider user usability and created unusable sites filled with pointless ads, payment inducements, scams, malware, and kidnapping ads. Illegal ads and inquiries promising high revenue have always come to me, and I've always rejected them. The site has only used ad banners sufficient to cover server operating costs. The amount 'I' and others earn in a month is around 300,000-700,000 won after server costs, and on days when server costs skyrocket due to DDoS attacks, we've covered even more, so I've never calculated whether I've made or spent money running this site. Everyone, human sexual desire isn't money. Paradoxically, it becomes money. That's why people risk danger and create adult sites. When the government blocks these sites in the name of censorship and censorship, investing massive administrative power and taxes, what's the result? Not only ad-filled illegal sites, but other sites like this and ri+ that were blocked at the same time. The common point of these sites is that the sexual targets don't exist in reality at all. But everyone, search for Tok boss, Chat Bi, Dumb Chat, etc. on Google Play Store and One Store. From high school students to people in their 30s, they mediate conditions-based meetings, Russian/Japanese illegal sex work, etc. On Google Play Store and One Store, they mediate sex work and conditions-based meetings. Yet they've "never" been sanctioned as illegal sites/illegal content. Everyone, search "γ £ Disk Disk, where Disk where" "XXX Files", "where XXX Nori." These openly start with Japanese adult content and have things that are ridiculously worse, yet they've "never" been designated as illegal sites/illegal content. Should 2D or 3D characters be censored? Should administrative power and taxes really be invested in things about non-existent people? The target truly doesn't exist anywhere. They ignore illegal filming of real people, extortion, exploitation, crimes targeting minors, brokering conditions-based meetings and sex work, personal information theft, malware distribution, fraudulent payments, kidnapping adsβand just pick on easy targets like "we can just take care of you"βwhile apps searchable by anyone on app stores have messages implying conditions-based meetings and sex work openly going around, and on large platforms and web hard drives, all kinds of adult content is essentially left alone, while scams and malicious ads that directly harm users are still scattered everywhere. This is performative crackdowns. This isn't solving problems but shirking responsibility. This isn't a policy to reduce crime but administrative convenience to only show the achievement of blocking visible targets. Without acknowledging the reality that sexual desire exists, even if everything is blocked, demand doesn't disappear. Users don't disappear. Within affordable costs, I will still... persevere.

I literally cried reading this, tears streaming down my face..

But real talk, isn't banning random chat apps from being used for sex work transactions way more important than cracking down on 2D content?

So now we won't get One Piece, Naruto, that kind of stuff anymore and only official content stays?
Wait, so he's asking for sympathy for running illegal mirror sites? π I mean I get the business side but cmon
Didn't there used to be some admin monk running an adult site? I heard he operated it with barely any revenue
As someone from a country with heavy censorship, I actually understand why these sites matter to people, regardless of what's on them
This is the result of your choices lol

Doesn't matter what you choose anyway..
The reason they won't regulate dating apps = sex workers need to make money
This is actually kind of sad ngl, dude spent years building something just to watch it crumble overnight
If you block real person harm, that kills AL-FA so they can't do that
Bros, think about it for even a second. If you could only watch adult webtoons, manga, hentai, and anime with literally zero censorship... how happy would that be? I wanna see uncensored adult content before I die, that's freedom of expression
That person was a freedom fighter
Plot twist: he's gonna pivot to crypto or NFTs or something equally scammy in 3... 2... 1...
For the girls, by the girls
lmaooo 'heartfelt letter' bro you were literally profiting off stolen content π
Genuinely curious what the business model even was here, feels like this whole industry was built on sand anyway
Not me feeling bad for a pirate operator but here we are I guess, the internet is weird
