Shemale Canada Profiles updates will be down. - NOW COMPLETE

[Rockheart]

On Sunday night, September 04, around Midnight profile updates will be disabled.
We are working on some upgrades.
This will last anywhere from 12-48 hours.

If you have a profile you will not be able update, upload, disable, signup, change, login.
I won't be able to change anything either.
All profiles and thumbnail updates will be processed before this occurs.

I will also send an email out soon but thought I would post here first.

[Shyla Wild]

Does this apply to our advertising or to the forums?

If this apply to the girls profiles, you mentioned that the profiles cannot be changed. Does this mean that the ads will still be active?

[Dita Dior]

Crag why? WHY!
Thank you for letting me know.
I guess I have to double advertise on a couple other providers for a couple days, just to make sure. wait I only skimmed what you wrote fast Im going to re read it now probably edit my post, but does this only mean for logining in and changing ads or does it also mean you cannot see or view them?
post and re-read.
xo thanks again.

reread what you wrote, so this does mean everyone can view the ad/profile but you cannot login yet change anything correct? just double checking even though the answer is probably right in my face. xoxo thanks again.

[Rockheart]

Everything on the site will be available except any type of changes or updates to profiles.
Profiles and everything else will be visible.
Login and updates will be disabled for this period.

We completed moving Shemale Canada to the new Shemale Earth server this morning.

Many of you can already see the new site.
If you cannot update your profile yet, this means your internet provider is still pointing to the old site.
Most likely with hours you will see it.

If you spot any problems on the new site let me know.

Just the beginning of much more to come.

I was checking the shemalecanada.com domain status on servers around the world.
They don't seem to like it too much in Turkey!
Where can i appeal? haha

[tslisaparadise]

[Modulus]

Thank you Craig

I know I've said it before but I'll say it again. Shemale Canada and this forum are now THE place to go to find shemale providers in Canada.

On my own site, I always keep and eye on the traffic - where my traffic comes from - who is checking out the site. I get traffic from all over the world, sometimes from the most remote places like Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Asia. But one thing stands out. I get alot of traffic from the forum and from Shemale Canada. Google rankings also prove that Craig has achieved the level of recognition that he desrves.

And I have known Craig for many years now. He is a really nice guy and he genuinely cares about what he does and the people he works with. I want to thank you Craig for all the hard work, the long hours, and the dedication to what amounts to our own little family, disfunctional though it may be. Alot of what you do is in the background but you have helped alot of girls who, otherwise, would not have any resources at all.

Thanks Craig

Well I guess you could join the National Protest in Turkey:

Turkish Internet filter to block free access to information

Officials said filters will be transparent; experts disagree

The Turkish government has defended plans requiring Internet users to sign on to a national filter system. Rights experts call the scheme an unprecedented and heavy-handed attempt to control information.



Turkey's government on Tuesday said it continued to support a new law that will filter the Internet and, it said, cut off access to websites that display pornography, bomb-making tutorials and violent content.

But thousands of protesters marched in 30 cities across Turkey in mid-May to express their opposition to the government's new system setup to filter the Internet.

The new government system calls for Internet users to select one of four filtering options: including family and children's filters, a domestic profile that will block foreign sites and the standard option won't add any filters but will continue to prohibit access the thousands of websites Turkey already bans, each by a court order.

The problem, according to Fatmagul Matur of a political group called the Young Civilians, is that many Turks blindly assume the government will take care of them.

"In Turkey, the state is called the father, and your father protects you from dangerous ideas and dangerous things, or sexual things," she told Deutsche Welle.

It's not up to the government to protect kids from what's on the InternetProtecting families and children

Government officials, including Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc, said the filters are only meant to protect children and families from harmful online content. Many Turks are not Internet savvy and don't know how to install personal filtering software.

Tayfun Acarer, the head of Turkey's telecommunications regulatory agency, denied that the filters would be mandatory and said that the measures are only meant to enforce Turkish law.

"Turkey is more transparent than many other countries regarding this issue," he said. "When you go to a banned site in a European country, you see only a flag or a stop sign. But if a website is blocked in Turkey, it is always clearly stated when, why and by which institution the page was banned."

But the Internet community in Turkey is concerned that the government has more sinister motives since the filter could represent the first step towards an even more restrictive Internet policy.

"They are trying to develop a control mechanism, and they are using smut and children as an excuse to set up a system in which they can at least attempt to control the Internet," said Yaman Akdeniz, a law professor at Bilgi Unversity who specializes in Internet issues.

Transparency questions

The national filter system in place, the government will be able to add sites to the blacklist freely without asking a judge, Akdeniz said.

A lack of transparency is another concern as the list of blacklisted sites would also not be made public. Access could be cut to online material critical of the government or companies close to the ruling party without any form of explanation.

"There are no criteria, anything can be included within that black list," Akdeniz added.

Turkey was recently listed as partly free by the Freedom House

Internet activists said filters are effective ways for parents to protect their children from material they don't want in their homes, but add that the decision is a personal one - not one that should be dictated by the government.

"Lots of governments block sites in a non-transparent manner, that happens all the time in authoritarian regimes, but it doesn't happen typically in democracies," said Jillian York of the Electronic Frontier Foundation in San Francisco.

Economic game changer

Few Turkish websites have fought as many court battles as Eksisozluk, or "Sour Dictionary," one of Turkey's oldest, biggest and freest online communities. Founder Sedat Kapanoglu said the new filters will be a financial burden for his site and sites with adult content. He added that he expected to lose ad revenue because of decreased traffic.

"If they make the family plan the default, it will change all the rules of the game in Turkey," he said. "Many mature content websites won't be able to make a living in Turkey."

A veteran of about 100 legal cases, chaotic Internet legislation already makes legal representation crucial to Internet business in Turkey, Kapanoglu said, adding that his company has two software developers and five lawyers.

"We can reverse a court decision in a day or so right now, but you still need to go to a judge and teach him about the Internet," Kapanoglu said. "He doesn't know how Internet works, how websites work, you have to educate each and every one of them until you get more saner decisions."

In the meantime, Bianet, a media freedom NGO, has brought a lawsuit seeking an injunction against the Turkish filter system. A final court decision on the case is expected by the end of June.
