I realized I had never explained it before o_O
So if you’re interested, here’s a summarized story of my blog, how it started as hentairules.blogspot.com and moved to www.hentairules.net ;)
If you’re an adult webmaster reading this and you’re hosted at blogger, read that post !


My site was first located at hentairules.blogspot.com, hosted by Blogger, property of Google, the creation date was December 23rd, 2006. It worked fairly well, gained more and more visitors, until moving twice over 10 000 unique visitors per day. Call me narcissus if you wish, but I was proud.

And then, BAM, blogger killed it. After a bit of a search, the explanations arrived.
Blogger’s policy was to accept adult content : more precisely, blogger employees had officially explained on old support boards that adult content was allowed, and their TOS didn’t forbid adult content. Until recently : blogger’s policy had changed, and they now pretend adult content is against their Terms Of Service. That’s not right word-to-word because their TOS haven’t changed, but who cares once you are banned, don’t you think.

After insisting a lot, I could finally bring a blogger member to explain things more accurately : two out of three conditions must be gathered for blogger to ban a site :
– the site must contain adult content (even softcore)
– the site makes a decent audience (consider that after 500 uniques per day, you are suspect)
– the site contains elements likely to bring money to the blog owner (ad banners, paid picture or zip hosting, partner banners)
If two out of three of these conditions are met, a blog will be permanently banned at first sight as soon as a blogger member reviews the blog.

I had the choice, either give up, either start from the scratch. I chose to continue !
But this time, there’s no way I would again allow an american company to crush my two balls together. *cough*

I chose to have my own domain, my own hosting, and to be powered by a free blog system, wordpress. And now i’m free, no fcking american company can ban my ass again !

It’s sad it wasn’t possible for me to directly import all posts from the old blog, because each of the import tools I could find only worked when the blogger blog wasn’t blocked (I found much later there were import tools that would work even with blocked accounts <_<)
I made my best to mimic the “dots dark” template, that I loved a lot, and finally, there we are, with a new Hentairules :)

If you know people with an adult blog at blogger, I strongly suggest you tell them to be extra careful and already use a redirection adress, so that they may easily be found when blogger blocks them and they’re forced to move !
I’d suggest thumblogger as another blog system, officially made for adult contents, but the best would be, of course, to have your own domain, hosting and blog system.

Remind me not to use those assholes then. Oh wait I think you just did. Sounds like fairly easy criteria to break as well. You have my sympathy.

Thanks :)

And hentairules will definitely remain free, heh ^^
It’s not because my site brings me a bit of cash, and I appreciate it, that I make my site for the sake of earning money, that’s all the difference :)
