The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

YouTube's new "Video has been blocked" screen.

You will see this screen more and more often. As I said: RIP YouTube 2005-2008. Less and less people will upload videos in the future because they don't know how far they are affecting "copyrights".

My account I've been working on for 3 years will also be deleted in the future because of 2 copyright strikes, so I won't upload any new videos.

It may be better to just share your videos on archive.org.

Nah, I'm just gonna keep on fighting and dispute their claims, lol. It's not like they're gonna take those seriously anyway. One dispute, and then BAM! It's unmuted/unblocked. :p

There's a thing called "fair use". :p

My account got suspended once, but I managed to file a dispute and get my account back. That, and all my stuff is still intact. ;)

I noticed this a few days ago when I went to watch a video that had Nickelback song, and I was expecting that it would be deleted, but I didn't expect this. Just adding to the terrible new looks on websites, first wikipedia, then wikia, then youtube... :rolleyes:


But that's why I don't upload anything on my account, I just use it for faving, commenting, etc.

I hate it when this comes up. I deleted almost all of the episodes in my favorites on YouTube because they were taken down due to copyright. <_< It happens sometmes on links I click on for video's and when I get there, they're taken down and that annoying little sign pops up. Oh YouTube, your so annoying at times.

LOL.  I'd tell y'all how to circumvent this stuff, but it would be bad if I did.  As it is I can get by virtually any block or ban and I can even make as many accounts as I want on places like Photobucket, Gmail, and other places that only allow a few accounts.  I'm able to get multiple licenses to programs that only allow 1 license per person.  For example, Rank Tracker, a $100 program is doing a giveaway right now.  They'll give you a FREE copy of it, but it's limited to 1 copy per person.  I've already got 25 copies. :lol Being a computer guy does have its perks.  But I can watch anything on YouTube I want, even if it's blocked in my country and the best part of this is it's NOT illegal!  

Everyone's panicking because net neutrality is coming to an end.  LOL.  It doesn't matter.  I'm a hacker and pirate by trade.  The internet is set up to keep ignorant people out and they take no action against people that know what they're doing.  I'm surprised it took them so long to take down Limewire.  It is, after all, the computer illiterate person's way of downloading stuff illegally.  But anyways, strap yourselves in kiddies.  If you don't know how the internet works you'll soon have your hands tied behind your backs.  And no one is going to help you get past this stuff now that everything's going to shit.  Anyways, if you have no idea what I'm talking about, read up.  Otherwise it's gonna hit ya like a train.  We've known this was coming for some time now.  Big corporations are now in control of the internet and the government (though they've been in control of the government for 30+ years now).  Get used to censors on virtually everything and having to pay for every single thing you want to do online.

Sadly this is how Youtube is now :c I can't watch any of my favorite movies anymore. The secret of NIMH, the LBT, etc etc. Since google bought Youtube youtube has gone down considerably. Eventually it'll be dead and desolate. It's a shame </3

Too many girls I know use that crap as their music source. You don't really need it if you already have Windows media player as your music library and an Mp3 to download music. You may not need an ipod either.
