There is a new ad on the frontpage wich you might have noticed:

Quote:
Get anonymous and legal access to over 28 terabytes of gamez, appz etc. Download @ DSL speed.


If you klick on it you get redirected to a usenet provider. Whats with that ad, ppl get banned here for asking where to get stuff and at the same time they just have to follow the links from the main page. Whats next, sites advertising slots? I think this ad is against the rules Rolling Eyes

Quote:
1. No requests!!! Don't ask where to find stuff. There are no files here and we won't help you find it!
3. Don't post any info about where you get your stuff including applications, sources, links, name of webpages and so on. This includes Torrents, Kazaa etc. You are not allowed to discuss this here!

I think it's an excellent strategy, this way all the llama's are turned towards usenet instead of here.

But yea, that ad should be removed... Instead put an ad about the rules and the purpose of the site.

no i see people with get msn plus in their sig and yet it has a referral number on it. I'm sure they ran a competition (might still be running it) and the 1 who signs up the most people wins some money. i reported the thing to the mods but they aint done shit about it. If some1 had an outwar or whatever link in their sig it would be removed pretty quickly.

The site doesnt actually contain anything illegal, it simply implies it. So my opinion is that it shouldnt be on the site (as it will probably bring unwanted attention) but it probably HAS to be on the site due to costs! This is something we need to accept guys, rather than demanding it is removed.

I know MRT and the other guys try they're best to keep "our" adverts good (lets remember back to the good old days of glass dildo's, it brought me much amusement!) but when times are hard they need to push out to people who will pay real money for adverts on NFOrce. The sad truth is, we DO get people who come here for warez, so if an agency can potrey themselves legally as a "warez site" without breaking laws, then can advertise on this site, they will make a crap load of money in sign ups.

Lets try and come to the aid of NFOrce, rather than bitching about the only noticable solution.

Go buy yourselves some stuff from the shop, go give some money to the cause or maybe give some equipment! Then we will see the crappy adds disappear!
