Is this ok to talk about?

[LordRaiden]

Just wanted to ask first before going over to OT and blabbing about it and getting in trouble. So I thought I'd ask here first to see if it's ok, and if it's not, then I'll know and I'll also drop the subject.

1. Is it ok to talk about Fan Subs, especially Japanese Anime's such as Naruto and Scrapped Princess?
2. Is it ok to talk about BitTorrent files and downloads of same said items?

Much apreciated on any feedback about this. Just checking to see what's allowable and what isn't. Thanks.

A BitTorrent thread was the specific reason Private Topics forum was closed. The thread had over 300 posts discussing and linking to warez and other illegal software.

I am not familiar with Naruto and Scrapped Princess anime. If it is sexually oriented, it is probably not a good idea.

Thanks for understanding,

Mod

Wasn't BitTorrent 1/2 the reason Private Topics was closed?

 

[LordRaiden]

I don't know. I was gone for 3 months and by the time I got back they were gone, so I have no idea.

Sorry, I was making a general statement. It wasn't directed specifically at you.
Bye bye PT.

Thanks. Seen that thread already but I didn't see anything specifically dealing with the two items I listed above. Either that or I'm blind.

"members were grossly abusing the Private Topics forum with warez"

BitTorrent included in that?

A day or two of warning would not have exposed Anandtech to any more liability than it already had. This was a foolish way to handle the situation.

It doesn't work that way. As soon as they knew about the pr0n/warez, it had to go. The legal liability is too great in today's society. And I don't understand all the hostility towards the mods. They didn't post the things that everyone knew was not allowed, it was the people in the threads.

That bittorrent thread has been around for weeks. You're telling me they just figured out there might be warez involved?
