Unless I'm wrong and you're using those hosts purely for humanitarian reasons. Quote:
Oh, sure..they say they are doing it to provide more porn, buy apples for starving orphans or other bullsh*t reasons, but most of us know better. Quote:
I agree with you 100 percent. Some of us still post to share. |

I do have to admit that ff is a shit company for free users. One of the worst alongside Oron and Netload. FF constantly has no free download slots available and you can try for days to DL from them as a free user and then finally give up. Its no wonder they are stiffing you on the payments when its common knowledge they are shady mofos all the way around.

When i compare an old now dead magazine model forum i used to frequent
2/3 prolific scanners/uploaders 1/2 identifying models 1000s of guests/members downloading & re-posting to the new forums offering thanks & karma Does seem very DE JA VU except the currency has changed to free upgrade to premium membership and/or cash I think just like the filehosts moaning threads there will be the silent majority who get paid and choose to remain quiet and the vocal minority whose number has come up Thats life |

I use any funds which I may accrue to: a) Keep the a/c's premium to prolong my files lifespan. b) To help pay server costs for another forum. I have never personally banked a cent nor posted for fiscal gain. I have literally thousands of uploaded posts which are non publicly accessible forum/s, because the links would be killed within hours; you do realise you do not have an exclusive on posting for sharing own sake? |

No need to get upset guys, just thought I had to warn any of you who might think of using FF to upload.
Yes, people upload just for sharing and yes, people upload for money as well. That's something we can't change but it's no reason to turn on each other, is it? |

For the sake of one HOF to another, I won't press this issue any further. Say hello to Mother Teresa and Gandhi for me though. BTW: If you get paid to share, you in fact are not sharing. Quote:

I am finding the entire file hosting issue, trying to keep everything alive, find and replace my lost RS stuff, etc, etc is all getting way too stressful. It seems to me it does not matter if it's forums, family issues like divorce or a death, or anything else; as soon as money creeps into the deal far too much of the former fun and games which went before, at some level/s at least, get rather spoiled.......... Life goes on, but it does all make me feel rather sad at times. |

The money part is secondery....well, sometimes. It depends on the day. I don't deserve to be called a bullshitter just cos I use FSonic and I said out loud b4 I use the cash for more porn. Those who know me in certain places know very well what exclusive content I bring to the table using the cash generated from hosting. Done |

In fact your posting proves that. I find most of your stuff is current and fresh material like the A*T*K stuff As with everything else in life there are a few exceptions to every rule, and you're one of them. But you are in an extreme minority, my friend. You actually give a crap about your username and the quality of your content. Even you have to admit that what..? 90 percent of the people who use these hosts simply regurgitate what's already been posted. Just on their cash based host, and they could care less about sharing or whether the host is actually a good one...etc. |
