killing all uploaded pictures - announced or not - was a bad idea...anyone thought of topics with lot of pages Question

my thread is now over 200 pages, some links are killed by rs because of unuse...i don´t think anyone here would search for 2000 something post an reupload on any image hoster, it´s a pity Evil or Very Mad

even now it is not possible to attach previews to the posts on this url, and on the different image hosters the lasting of the pix is not as long as it was on the old, great forum...

so, not only rs did changes which are not lucky, even the admins here did so.

but thats not all, before the changes i had not to log in every time i opened this page, that and the other changes hurt Mad

hope, it will get better, otherwise i have to say goodbye.......so long Crying or Very sad

About login jumper007.
When you have entered your data, you have to also put a tic in the little box next to the line: "Log me on automatically each visit:"
Then you should be automatically logged in at your next visit.
Works for me.

So Good Samaritan has decreed that rapidshare is now banned Exclamation Shocked

https://www.forumophilia.com/topic116514-150.html#1523231

Frankly I think the way these major changes are being leaked in obscure threads without properly announcing them in the rules, or giving any explanation, is extremely amateurish. Do the mods even know this change yet? Why not just make one big announcement and rules update when things have been decided? Are we all to be punished for using RS from this moment on if we didn't happen to see a post in "General Chat"?

Why is it banned? I can't see any logical reason for banning RS outright. As the only people using RS now are those willing to pay for storage, I'd have thought that was a guarantee of some quality uploads. I reckon the wave of account deletions for big posters is probably gone now that they've ditched rewards and introduced the new membership/pricing model as a sop to the entertainment industry.

I've been here since near the start in 2004, but what the future holds I really don't know. Sad

what the hell??? are you sure about this announcement? is it true??
there are many ppl's willing to continue using RS for DL/UL as a premium users despite the big changes. after all, RS is still the biggest hosting service so why the hell banning it?? Rolling Eyes

Makes no sense whatsoever.

After all the changes to rapid the main change is that uploaders get no rewards points.

So the way I see it, is that people currently upping to rapid are obviously not doing it for any reward of any kind but just for the love of sharing, which I'm pretty sure (tho I don't know for sure) is why this site surely started.

Rapidshare surely hasn't changed that much that it conflicts with this site all of a sudden!!!

I agree with previous sentiments, about the way it was just banned & why!!!

Two words come to mind

ABSOLUTELY LUDICROUS

I don't either - I just tried posting, and the "word censor" caught the RS URL, that's how I learned about it. I've got tons of stuff there I haven't posted here yet and enough "rapids" to last for ten years. I really don't feel like moving everything to a new file host and starting over.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. You can't even use the RS URL or your post will get caught by the "word censor"

F*ck it. I've lurked here for years and finally decided to start giving back only to have Rapidshare banned? Well screw it.

It feels like every decision made about banned/approved sites is made with a Magic 8-Ball.

Hi GS.

I have removed rapídshare from the word censor.
It's the wrong way of introducing a change.
Especially since Rapid is, and has been, the major fileservice utilised in the forum for a long time.
As long as members and moderators are seeing the allowed hostlist in the Rules section, those hosters has to be allowed and not being censored out.

Any change to the list, in terms of removing hosts, is to make an Announcement in which a set date for the change is stipulated.
The transition period has to be long, not just one week.
Information should first be conveyed to the moderators and then to the members.

I intend to agree with what many members have expressed in various threads.
The way things are done will kill the forum.
At least many of the current big contributors will just stop posting.

The way changes are done also creates confusion and frustration amongst the moderators who doesn't know which leg to stand on.

I have actually started to seriously consider if I want to stay part of this.

We will have to get used to the new forum!
I'll post this remark here, because I don't know where else to post it anymore Laughing :
I don't receive any e-mail anymore,
- when I have a new PM
- when my favourite threads are updated ("Watch this topic")
Could you please repair this ?

If RS was banned, why is it still on the approved hosts list ?

I don't think you are, either blind or stupid.
But sometimes the most obvious is the answer.

The other thing that comes to my mind is if you have changed any settings.
Allowing cookies or updated/changed your browser.

I can't acces the forum with FireFox.
Have to use IE.
