Sorry to be a thorn in the side, but do you know what a pain it will be to ask someone.... "Will you please post this for me?" I'm trying to prove myself by posting good stuff like crazy, and this will just make it harder.

ok the pain right now seems to be on the fact that files are being deleted. Is there anyway for us to find sites that do not delete files? Maybe expand our uploading sites? I recommend foreign possibly Asia uploading sites. Put up some tutorial on how to use those sites, and start to put our stuff on those sites. Asia is famous for running piracy, so maybe their policy is more lenient. So files can possibly stay longer. Another idea is FTP but that would be a hassle because of server costs. But yeah just a suggestion. hope it helps.

Again, this would only go for the bigger and more quality threads, which are more likely to be deleted. The normal posts can still be put in the normal Candy Shop without any problem. Given that most posts are not complete siterips it will be very little hassle if people post smartly.

FTPs are out, because people don't want to pay to share (then they could as well just buy Gold membership) and because they also delete your stuff. Asian sharing sites are out, because there aren't any. The country does not only need favourable sharing laws, but also the infrastructure for a large hosting site. As far as I know there's no such country, but you're free to prove me wrong.

Exactly what I´ve said too! And don´t put all your apples in one basket.

Besides, it will never happen. If it does, it will limit participation, and it will not last long before the system will be back the way it is now. If this was the only site on the net, yes it would work. But it´s not. To arrive to this conclusion, I only use the common laws of math, politics, and profitable business. Anyone who does not see the big picture......

I see no response from officials, seems like this is no concern for them, nor they are interested.

Neat!

I'll admit, that even though I'm a slight of a newcomer, (had an old account somewhere), I support this.
I can almost picture and understand the pain you have to go through..

So yeah.. you have my support.

It Get My Vote for the two tier system it will still allow the public to see plus encourage them to be more active so as to gain access to the high section.

I am a Noob here, but plan on uploading more in the future.

I think the first thing we could do is to eliminate the google bots from accessing the forum. That way our search results will not come up.

I just do not want this board to turn into some other boards where half the companies are blacklisted and the companies have representatives trolling the boards that do not have blacklists.

As a new member, I would gladly accept said conditions if it meant that moving up the ranks brought rewards. Also, my ISP has a real SOB of an upload speed so losing any Uploading work would really suck ants.

I say do it. Despite being one of those who barely responds to every thread I go into and leech. Sorry...But I say do it if you see this being a trend.
