Samfoslom reacted to RadioRob in And we're back...
Greetings folks...
As you might have noticed, this site has been offline since around mid-day Tuesday. Our prior hosting provider decided that they are unable to continue hosting our website and had ended service to us. Unfortunately they did not provide any notification to me about this decision and I was forced to move the site to a new server without any sort of heads up. This includes arranging for the new hosting company, configuring the new server to meet the technical requirements, getting a copy of our current data, restoring that data (over 300GB of files), recovering the database (over 18.5 million records in that database taking up 11GB of space for the DB alone), and reconfiguring the software itself to run in the new environment.
While migrating there was also some technical issues that I ran into that required me to coordinate with Invision's technical support team. So that back and forth added additional time to the mix as well.
And to pile on further… all of this occurred while I'm traveling for my day job. So I've been doing this while in a hotel in between doing my day job on the road.
There are most likely several other things that will need to be fixed still and I'm working through them. For example, email may only be partially working. I still need to setup things like SPF and DKIM for the new server so our emails don't flag as spam. There are other settings that might need to be redone to work in the new server as well that I'm not thinking about yet. (As you might have imagined, I've not had much sleep during this whole process.)
But anyway... you get the idea. No... we're not going anywhere! This was a minor setback but we'll continue to move forward. Thank you all for your understanding and support!

Samfoslom reacted to BSR in Bros (2022)
Yikes, the studio spent $40 million on marketing! No wonder Billy Eichner is so upset by the opening weekend bomb. I agree that the movie has limited appeal beyond gay men. Straight women are the biggest audience for romantic comedies because they want to identify with the protagonist and enjoy the romance fantasy. Since few will identify with a gay male lead, they won't bother to see Bros no matter how big the marketing budget. It's not that the movie-going public is homophobic; it's that the studio execs simply lacked common sense.

Samfoslom reacted to jtwalker in Latest status on payment up front?
Upfront payment is something an undercover cop would request. Hard pass for me.

Samfoslom reacted to RadioRob in New Donation Section
A few people have reached out to me asking how they can help support the site. I've setup a new donation section of the site that can be found in the main navigation bar of the site while logged in as a member (it's not visible to guests). You can also find it directly at: https://www.companyofmen.org/donate/
This area includes the ability to donate both via online credit card payment OR traditional offline payments (such as cash, check, or money orders). I've explained more about this in the donation area, but in an effort to remain discreet, I hope you'll notice I'm not asking for any sort of personal information (such as your real name, address, city, state, zip code, or phone number). This is configured to capture as little information as possible and any transaction that occurs will show on statements simply as "RadioRob Enterprises". Part of my day job involves managing cyber security for a large number of banks on the east coast, so all of the time setting this up was applying the same practices used by large financial companies on this site. This includes encryption, not storing unnecessary data, setting up secure and verified API validations to the merchant provider, etc.
If there are other payment methods that would be helpful to have such as Zelle, PayPal, or Venmo... just let me know. I did not initially setup those options because they exposed the real name of the person sending money as well as potentially shared other information such as a phone number. My goal was to try and keep things as discrete and non-identifiable as possible however I'm happy to support whatever people want to utilize.

Samfoslom reacted to RadioRob in When accessing the website, I'm getting a warning on chrome
You’re most likely using the old URL still. Daddy’s server is going away at the end of June. Unless you start using m4m-forum.org, it will quit working entirely by July 1st.
So please be sure to update your bookmarks!!

Samfoslom reacted to + FrankR in Massages that unexpectedly turned into something more
You betcha! This thread reminds me of a paint job that went off the rails pretty quickly.
Guy showed up to paint a few rooms. He noticed the massage table and asked in an adorably shy way if I am a therapist. No sir - but I have skills! ?
I agreed to give him a rub if he showered first - I know, i am a dirty old man! ?
Massage went as expected until he turned over onto his back. I was hard. He was harder! One thing led to another.
From what I recall he stopped by at least 3 times after that to “touch up” the paint job! ??
