Plans for the future of Gamingforce

So is this idea the result of space issues or isn't it? Because if that's the entire problem it could so easily be solved by just disabling the completely useless attachments once and for all.

Or is it to be done in hopes of wiping away GFF's dark past due to some "takedown notice", as you seem to be implying now, Blah? We've been fileshaing here for the better part of ten years now, and My Stuff certainly has it's most active days behind it. So if My Stuff wasn't a problem-child in the heydays of '03 and '04, why now suddenly?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If it really is a liability, will simply placing it on a different forum really change that? What do we do when the next letter arrives?

However, the best thing that would come out of this move is the separation of two communities that are perpetually hostile towards each other.

I guess I must have missed this. Really? I couldn't imagine why that would be the case.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It might not affect .org, but what to do should a letter arrive for .com? Pack up and leave again? You make it sound like there's some imminent threat present here which will mean the end of GFF unless My Stuff isn't moved pronto. And considering the bulk of what is shared in there is VGM, that seems quite unlikely to me, knowing how little the copyright proprietors over in Japan seem to care about infringement. I mean last I checked Sarah's hellhole was still online and spewing.

LeHah: Now that you mention it I seem to recall hearing about that particualr piece of drama.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It's hardly a surprise if people don't wish to be a part of this community when many of the "regulars" behave with such shoddy manners as the ones you're displaying here, Shin.

That said, considering how diverse GFF is in terms of the hobby's and interests we cater to, it's hardly surprising if someone joins here because he or she has heard about the Concert Hall or My Stuff. And why must you be interested in the entire forums to browse a singular forum which caters to your interests, such as CH or My Stuff? It's actually quite humorous how the people complaining about these so-called "leechers" are almost always users who seldom, or never, actually browse the forums in question. If the "leechers" were such a problem don't you think they would be dealt with accordingly by those who do [and believe me, those who are problematic are dealt with].

And as I previously stated, the attachment situation in CH should have been dealt with the minute it became a problem. One-click file hosting sites have been around for a few years now...

Well this is certainly a surprising turn of events.
