In brief: XTube, one of the first adult site to allow users to upload and share pornographic videos, is shutting down on September 5, thirteen years after it was founded. While no reason for the closure has been given, it's speculated that the legal problems faced by parent MindGeek influenced the decision

We've got a month to save any favorites before they're gone forever. |
... Most of my favourites went at the last 'cull' - very sad. Lost a lot of material that had given me a lot of pleasure over the years! |
Can't say I'm surprised. Yes, some of the videos for me were hugely erotic, but the site was run so badly I didn't log on much at all. I don't think closing it will make much difference to Mindgeek as they have other sites so I've read. I expect XT users will just flock to them if they haven't already.

... Most of my favourites went at the last 'cull' - very sad. Lost a lot of material that had given me a lot of pleasure over the years! A similar thing happened to JUGIJ (TheJeansClub), ie. the site admin shut it down following a massive hack, and there was no separate copy of the data ... |
That site was dead anyway. Especially when they removed many of the videos without any warning. Does anyone knows an alternative?

It's a shame. Xtube was the only place on the internet that I knew of where I could find hockey fetish videos. I ripped all my favourites and have them saved. I'd be happy to post them here if anyone is interested. I've been interested in hockey gear since I was 13. I had crushes on all the boys in my class that played hockey and american football. |
