A friend of mine was on her boyfriend’s computer and discovered naked pictures of a high school friend that had been downloaded from the internet. If it had been Pamela Anderson, she wouldn’t have cared (I mean, who DOESN’T have nudie pics of Pamela Anderson?) The fact that this was a friend, with whom the two hung out regularly, is what bothers her. The jerk sees nothing wrong with having naked pictures of his “friend” on his computer. Now she came to me and another high school friend with this story, and we can’t remember what the naked girl looks like (and none of us have a yearbook handy). The domain was [brinkster.com](http://brinkster.com), with Kristeno (or maybe a zero) in the address somehow. We cannot find these pictures. This has to be the only unsuccessful search for porn on the internet EVER. HELP US FIND THESE PICTURES, PLEASE!!!

Much obliged.

Why are you trying to find these? Are you trying to get them removed from the site of just your friend’s boyfriend’s computer? If the pix were on the site legally, there’s nothing you can do about it.

No! We just want to see them. We don’t care what happens to the pictures. We’re having a good old fashioned man-bashing post-breakup session and we want to see the pictures. In fact, if they have been removed we will be most disappointed.

She very well could be. My friend hasn’t seen all of the pictures she had on the site. She does know there are some shower pictures.

Oh dear Og.

Errr…

Right. Ummm, I’ll just remember what my _cough_ friend _hack_ told me.

P2P Programs, try using Kazaa or Overnet/eDonkey. These files are often taken without copywrite, so it’s at your own risk. The file may have the name of the victim, or the brinkster domain handy.

Depending on how long ago it was and if you have access to the computer, try searching the cache directory (Typically Win[something]/Temporary Internet Files), using "_.jpg_ and files over 50kB. Also try searching the history folder too.

Other than that, my advice is to search through lots of p0rn 🙂

No idea of the domain name? Or what it looked like?

We found them! (1) They’re pretty skanky and (2) my friend is so much hotter. I’m speaking objectively here, not just because she’s my friend.

I did not think I would ever find someone who needed HELP finding PORNOGRAPHY on the INTERNET.

It is a good thing, **October** , that your refrigerator is not online else you might be caught posting “Help me find food!”

Ok, ok, just for strictly scientific reasons, you do know, that we ALL now want help finding That Particular Porn…  
just so we can agree how skanky the girl looks, and how awful your friend’s b/f was to have her skanky pictures on his hard … drive …

There’s enough free, high-quality porn on Usenet to choke a thousand chickens.

Just out of curiosity, whats your theory on how they got online? Was she doing some amatuer (professional) porn or nude modelling? Were the pics snapped by a ex-guy who posted them to be a prick? A chick with a exhibitionist streak?

When I check out our (porn) site on Google or wherever, we often get a stats page from a University Web Server - i.e. students have discovered some of their fellow students posed for us.

Interesting. And undoubtedly common.

These were obviously amateur shots. It was a series of this girl taking a shower (she didn’t even use soap!). She obviously posted them online herself, since her name was in the URL. I have no idea who took them–I’m hoping it wasn’t my (much hotter) friend’s ex-boyfriend.

Iampunha–I have no problems finding porn on the internet (not that I regularly download porn or anything). It was the SPECIFIC porn I was having trouble locating. 🙂

Oh, and I’m not providing the link–I don’t know what sort of trouble I’d get in. I’d have to ask my friend what she thinks. Trust me, the pictures are not attractive.

I just find it inherently amusing that someone who was able to find this place, which is kinda hidden from a lot of people, would need help finding porn online. I know how difficult it can be to find that one special someone nekkid online.

Er…don’t suppose you’d believe me if I told you pictorial porn, with _very_ few exceptions, does nothing for me?😉

Not only is she using no soap, but if you look closely, you’ll see that there is no soap in the bathtub at all.

This to me raises a whole other class of questions.

(And those of you who are curious, the OP contained clues enough to find the place, if you’re clever and industrious. But the pictures aren’t linked from anywhere on the page, and one can only get to those if you know that they are, say, sequentially numbered jpegs.)
