So...I don't know the policy on discussing other sites here. But a popular asset resource site seems to have taken down it's 18+ content for some reason. I did a quick search but didn't see any info. Wondering if anyone on here had any insight into what happened?

[Looking again, I think all the links are gone? Seems like a wider issue?]

theres no rule against saying the name of the site (also i have no idea what you're talking about)

You can name sites or people generally won't have the slightest idea what you are talking about.

The internet has millions of sites, saying "that site with assets" narrows that down to .... tens of thousands.

Hmm. It worked last week. I run various blockers. Between seyfer and lexx I'm wondering if something changed and now it's all just being blocked. Don't think I want to unblock it if that's the case. So other than the asset section here, is there another good resource?

you're right, all 3 of my favorite sites give errors(I think it has more to do with security policy than copyright), but torrents are not prohibited (though the search will be difficult);)

I seen they keep adding assets to 3dzone but yeah no links... 3d-load seems to be a decent alternative

That's good to know:closedeyesmile:. I'm curious if they're doing that to try to hide more under the radar or if its simply just having problems with the site?

Does anyone know where that section of this site is where it gives many different websites?
Like a Our Partners section.

Was it taken due to its dark, behind-the-scenes-mining activity? 4chan states it uses visitor's cpu to mine bc.

It used to use coinhive to use your hardware to mine monero. There was an option at the bottom of the page to stop it, but Chrome (as well as most anti-virus software) caught on and prevented the functionality altogether. This prompted 3dzone to remove the mining, but now all their links are disabled (forcing you into the 'view source'+ctrl+f workaround).

I'm sure that symbol on the page is probably related to something mining-related you need to agree to in order to access their content again, but I can't figure it out for the life of me. Removing their 18+ content was probably also a poor choice. Using the search function, it does look like most of it has been removed (i.e. can't find 3feetwolf's new gens or any of the crap ton of Davo content they had recently).
