ThisAV is a defunct internet pornography sharing website hosted from Hong Kong, established in 2009.[1] Contents uploaded are mainly in Chinese or Japanese, and are freely available to non-registered users.[2] In 2015, the owner claimed the website to have around10 million accesses from a million unique IP addresses per day. About15% and 60% of those IPs originate from Hong Kong and Japan, respectively.[3]
The site owner claims to be a 1980s Hongkonger, with a background in web hosting since their highschool times.[3] They established the site during the 2008 financial crisis, being unable to find a satisfying career while seeing the potential popularity of a pornography website.[1]
The site became temporarily inaccessible since January 2023, showing its domain name to be on sale when accessed.[4] After its reactivation,[when?] the logo of "MissAV" is displayed instead of its typical one, when accessed from a mobile browser.[5][6]
FANZA, a subsidiary of DMM.com, announced its acquisition of MissAV and ThisAV's .com domain name in January 2025. The company claimed to have tookover the site through legal actions.[7]
