Hey so there's a gambling addiction resource thread stickied in the poker forum, but not the mobile games forum! It would be great if some of the same resources could be posted there, especially if people have gacha-specific resources to link.

This one was 100% my fault since I started the browser derail. It seemed relevant at the time but I really should know better, given what a pain that thread was when I was a mod. Sorry about that.

the thread is fine, there was no reason to close it due to a 2 page adblock derail. imo:

A: mods should be less sensitive to idle chatter when it isn't toxic and there isn't huge industry news to talk about and

B: please just probe people who derail it rather than repeatedly close it

This has not happened since the extremely dumb poo poo about the bayonetta VA, which while that was repeatedly brought up in this thread and the mods just shrugged and did nothing, also has not repeated itself since. You also still have not explained what it is you actually want out of an industry discussion thread.

That should have been enough of a signal that you won't post this way in his forum and get rewarded for it. Everyone that then clamored in to treat it like one of their shitposting forums got a rude reminder that harassing someone that you want something from doesn't always get you what you want.

can we re-examine the "no talking about piracy" rule as it was made back when BTB went away almost 20 years ago? obviously that's not coming back but maybe we can talk about piracy as long as we don't link directly to sources? i think things have chilled out a bit in the last two decades lol.

HopperUK posted:

ee: As far as I know talking about piracy is fine. Direct linking isn't.

well, what stux posted wasn't a direct link to piracy really, it was a github that aggregates other sites. i think linking to that sort of thing, or an internet archive page full of roms, or a site like vimm's lair is perfectly fine. i think what the rule was meant to prevent was BTB coming back in some fashion, whether that's sharing torrents or nzbs or whatever else is going on. that should probably stay off the table.

e: like, linking out to some other place that hosts pirated software does not open this place up to any liability whatsoever, otherwise reddit would have been nuked eons ago lol

BTB was a grey area at best because the torrents were shared through this platform, and that's bad.

Hmm I guess maybe I misunderstood what the link was. I did look at it and I thought it was more of a direct link. VG if you're around could you take another look at that one? Pull the probe back if you think it's a bad shoot? Thank yoou

i mean, you can't get away with hosting pirated files on github, and that index site has been around for quite a while lol. most of the links are to internet archive anyway, and as far as I'm aware nobody's been taking them to court about it either.

In this case because I have always said direct linking is the only crime this is kind of removed from it enough that I do not see a problem removing the probe.

another vg success story thanks bud

the preservation aspect is a bitch, especially with the wiiu virtual console being the last vestige of legal ownership for a mammoth library of games. i don't see how they could prove damages for pirating software they refuse to sell, but i don't have the legal mind of l. crabs or anything.

Normally when people complain about a probe the result is "Well, 6ers are just a slap on the wrist anyway, it's fine". It took you, what, 15 minutes to remove a decades old rule, undo the probe, and switch over to "I'm so sorry that happened to you Stux, I'll try to do better in the future :blush:"

what on earth

it wasn't a sixer
