The forum is kinda a mess.

Did you mean this thread?

I believe you're referring to the forum at zonegfx. Yes, it could use some more categories. Right now, everything is in one.

glad to have found this place after KAT closed and appreciate the info on ZoneGFX

I was exploring the forums at Foxter.ru and stumbled into a link to rutracker.org I've been using the Google translator which has really upped it's game recently in that it translates pages as you go from page to page. The translations can be hilarious but it's possible to get the gist of what people are discussing. I found a bunch of torrent links for all kinds of 3D items including large Daz content archives. Many of them include fairly recent items I've not seen in the wild. Here is the link to the Google translated page of one of them...

You should be able to navigate around the forum from it. Despite not being registered, I'm able to grab the magnet links and download the files as fast as my beloved high speed fiber optic connection will carry them.
Have fun with this.

I believe you're referring to the forum at zonegfx.  Yes, it could use some more categories.  Right now, everything is in one.

Since zonegfx started to sell points for money, the points system has made it more and more difficult for members to accrue points unless you pay for it.  So I'm thinking soon it will pretty much just be a paysite like all the others.  I don't advise people to get too invested in it or dependent on it. Which is probably a good thing because then people can switch back to torrenting.

I don't see how it's any more difficult to earn points. The idea is to buy something then share it, thereby earning points. I feel that it's a great system because it encourages sharing. Posters are saying that they're earning an average of 800 points from each post. This allows them to download 16 other items. I feel that this is a great deal and I'm seeing a lot of new and recent content. Of course, all the other sites scoop the items up quickly but it's still working brilliantly. We've had some great conversations both public and private and yes, the owner knows full well that we can all dump the place in a second. This is one reason I've been exploring and spreading the word about the other available spots. These Russian ones are great.
GFXNews.org is another recent find. They're quite strict with ratios but they have a very popular group buy.

Could someone who is actually a member of ZoneGFX tell the owner his registration system has a glitch that prevents it from some people not receiving confirmation emails or at least put a contact link on the site.

The registration happens because it shows me as having signed up but not confirmed, he either has a a damaged registration system, a geo-block or an aggressive black list in place on the site, although I am certain it is the former rather than the latter as I thought I would test my theories by opening my account using ISP's email address which should not be in a blacklist but again no confirmation email.

Please don't tell me to check my spam folder etc as I run 3 Websites myself, so I'm very savvy about such things.

For someone who is very savvy about things you should be aware your own mail address is bouncing. I would look into fixing that before pointing fingers.
