Posted: Thu Mar 26, 2009 8:39 pm Post subject: Torrents

I don't mean to cause problems, but after visiting http://afunplacetobe.myfreeforum.org/index.php I saw a forum with "Recommended torrents".

While I understand no torrents are directly hosted on the site, and that no copyrighted material is hosted on the site or directly linked to... The download of torrents is generally illegal as they generally contain copyrighted or pirated material.

here's a couple links:

http://afunplacetobe.myfreeforum.org/forum25.php <-- torrent forum

http://afunplacetobe.myfreeforum.org/about1693.html <-- link to thepiratebay.org which prides itself in pirated material in torrents

http://afunplacetobe.myfreeforum.org/about1724.html <-- link to download page for a torrent

and a bit from the T&C on what we can't do:

Quote:

Promote warez. Post links to copyright material on file sharing or other services that are not regarded as reputable public operations that take full responsibility for material on their servers.

Boogie does claim the topic was brought up and dropped (in the post your forum section), I saw one reference to the torrents being linked to - and no admin or mod response.

Final decision please?

No, of course you don't. What else could you possible be hoping to do with a post like that?

This question has already been raised and discussed on these very boards, and as I'm not hosting any torrents, or any recorded or copyright material of any kind, only showing links to sites, then I am not in breach of any of the MyFF T&Cs.

So what, you thought you'd join my site tonight and then try and cause trouble straight off the bat? Some strategy.

I wasn't aware anyone had appointed you MyFF arbiter on these matters - oh that's right - they didn't! - you're just a general busy-body.

Men should aspire to be something more than tell-tales once they reach a certain age mate - it's not becoming for them.

Pirate Bay threads removed. Well, Zudane, I guess you've shown others forum owners here what to expect from you when you join and pollute their sites? That must be the shortest membership of a forum you've ever enjoyed before getting canned. What was it? 10 mins in total as a member before being shown the door? Man, that's 'harsh reality' Stick to growing your hair mate - it's what you're good at. Last edited by Full Tilt Boogie on Thu Mar 26, 2009 9:49 pm; edited 1 time in total EUNOIA - A Fun Place To Be

Just so we're clear, I wasn't 'promoting' anything on my site.

Anyway, the Pirate Bay stuff been removed now.

Well, I said, I wasn't trying to cause problems. I had PM'ed you and told you they were in violation... You told me I was wrong, and when I'm correct, I don't like to be told I'm wrong. Anyway, this is no place for personal attacks. There's no call for it. _________________ Harsh Reality - Unleash your creativity! Harsh Reality

You're missing the point - the 'harsh reality' is that it is not your job to go round 'policing' the internet'.

All I've had to do is remove some threads from my forum - whereas you've shown others here what your day job is...

This is my last post to you, I won't respond to any more childish insults. Your forum violated the rules in part, I told you so you could take care of it personally, you disagreed, so I took it to the next level. Like it or not, I do think rules are in place to be followed. _________________ Harsh Reality - Unleash your creativity! Harsh Reality

Then all I can recommend is that instead of poking your nose into other's business and trying to police the entire Internet, whilst making a public fool of yourself in the process, that rather you concentrate on getting your 'school kids complaining about how much they hate homework' forum to... let's say... 'the next level' - and leave others well alone?

They'll thrive without your input.

No question that rules are there to be followed - it's just that you're not there, and it's not your job, to go round trying to enforce them. And in attempting to do so, you just look like a wee title-tattle seeking attention.

Look to your own short-comings before having the crass temerity to think that you're in any position to address those of others.

Give my regards to your barber!

Chin-chin.

Admin - I request that the previous 4 posts be removed and this thread locked. I don't see a point in personal attacks being left on here. _________________ Harsh Reality - Unleash your creativity! Harsh Reality
