Haha, anyone who thinks the current scene (or at least the "big" sites) is organized and makes it easy to find content is definitely on crack.
It's worth noting I didn't say I was going to keep the autoposters out. I actually didn't even say they weren't allowed to post on my site. I told them they'd have to follow the forum rules if they're going to post on my site (as the posting format and whatnot is going to be different and strict). I just warned people that if they do just add the link to the autoposter and (inevitably) dont' follow the posting guidelines all their posts will be deleted and they will be range IP banned (i've moderated a couple of forums and know this can be done, PLEASE don't anyone be stupid enough to tell me otherwise).
Yeah, right. I never said that all warez forums suck, there are good ones. But they're not that popular on the "scene" because they don't allow these new file hosts, neither they allow to some kids to share something that they don't even watch. I know, people want to make money. But there's no need to write so much pathetic text about community 'n' stuff. When it's more than obvious that forum you're making won't be a community, you wouldn't be creating a thread here if you had enough people for a community. That's just a fact..
The point is I'm building a community, did you really not understand that? Seriously, I think all your comments have been bitching in some way about people leeching from torrents to post to forums or using "new filehosts", or sharing things they haven't watched.
The content has to get from the torrents to the filehosts somehow (although for the record it has started to happen the other way too), if you aren't saying people should only use torrents, then yes people are going to have to move from torrents to filehosts (which I myself infinitely prefer).
Anyway, go discuss it elsewhere, I'm not interested in your opinions on this matter.
I also think it's hilarious that I've been accused of greed, when a large part of my first post explained how this forum was NOT going to be about greed.
I didn't mean the forum will have content that no other forum has (I'm not an idiot). But as someone who has had to spend A LOT of time on numerous occasions searching 1,000,000 different sites before I could find a season of a new show I'm watching I can tell you for a fact that the big sites out there (and really the small ones too) ARE NOT keeping their sites organized and are NOT making it easy for users to find content or uploaders to see what is there and what isn't.
I didn't mean to give anyone the impression that this forum would be able to have unleaked content nowhere else (although I have released a lot of content myself that I later see elsewhere, so content will be coming from here). I only meant that it will be a place where uploaders know when they need to re-up their material and will be able to very easily tell what the forum has, and what they should bring in.
The organization is what's different. While I will be having some friends help keep the site organized and give users and uploaders some interesting tools (most of which I've seen on one site or another) a lot of this IS NOT going to be coded into the fourm, it's going to be maintained by the people who are running it.
I only know of one site that has an organization system that is fairly close to the one I'm creating, and I love it and have been a HUGE uploader to that site. It's also a forum that only allows links from one of those "old" hosts previously discussed that doesn't give the uploaders money for their content.
I joined this forum, donated for VIP the same day, and started uploading and posting to it within the week.
I still love the forum (it's still my home right now), and have been posting so much to it for so long for no money because I CRAVE the "Thanks" I get from the shares (it's like my crack). However, the only filehost it uses is dying, and it's speeds are absolutely pathetic. I'm continuing to upload to it, but the whole forum has been ruined by the speed caps (and also the lack of incentives).
I can't understand why people are so focused on not being able to have unique coding or worthwhile unique content. My goal is to have complete and maintained content and coding that helps the people running the board keep it clean, organized, and user-friendly.
