Support NeoGAF

[CowboyAstronaut]

Alright I just want to make sure and ask about this before I do it in case it might be against the rules here on GAF.

I assume a fair number of people on here like to use torrent sites and before it is suggested, no I do not have any affiliation with this website whatsoever. I don't own it nor do I work for this website. I merely feel that I found a really cool torrent site that would be very useful to a lot of people here because I find it to be quite convenient to say the least.

Now before I go ahead and post the link I'm asking if I am allowed to do so since we all know what can be accomplished with torrent websites.

Not looking to get a ban for this which is why I'll wait for a mod's go ahead before I provide the link. If it isn't allowed then feel free to close the thread.

 

[JavaMava]

pretty sure you can link to sites with potentially illegal content on them.

 

[CowboyAstronaut]

Just to be on the safe side though I'll be waiting for a mod to give me the go ahead.

For all I know when I finally tell people what it is I'll find that people here maybe already knew about it or something, but even so I think the people that didn't know about it will find it fairly useful.

 

[Tyrannical]

So, aside from various illegal torrents, what on that site would interest Gaffers?

Think carefuly before you answer.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Oh fuck, I can't believe you've done this.

 

[Mistouze]

PM please?

 

[CowboyAstronaut]

What would interest gaffers is the total added convenience based on how the site is setup.

I assume like any user that likes to take advantage of torrents on this site and not for explicitly illegal means are usually forced to bounce from site to site to find what we are looking for.

I, for example, make very religious use of torrents to download Dattebayo subbed japanese Naruto episodes or various other anime episode or manga downloads and often times if I suddenly have the desire to gather all the Prince of Tennis, Bleach or Deathnote eps again I'm often jumping from site to site like a mad man for that one site that succeeds at being a one stop location for everything I'm looking for.

All in all I think the website allows you to find the torrent you are looking for and gain access to it much sooner than you probably would otherwise and you have a large variety to choose from and it's all accomplished from a single site.

It cuts down on a lot of the headache is the way I view it.

I probably shouldn't pm either until I get permission from a mod unfortunately. Trying my best to respect the rules just in case it isn't allowed.

 

[pjberri]

Just post it.

 

[CowboyAstronaut]

Just post it.

I fear a ban so until I get permission from a mod to do so I'll refrain just to be on the safe side.

So you say that you're not only downloading anime, but exclusively anime that has been licensed and is already being released in the U.S.?

Yeah, you should probably just post the link. Nothing explicitly illegal about that.

Darwinism at work.

Well I'm a total anime nerd and I was all over those animes and mangas way before they touched the USA so I consider them fairgame :lol

A man needs his anime. Got me through High School and College.

 

[Everdred]

You should be banned for not posting! You dirty dirty tease.

Luckily, the law is totally on your side here. The "I was all over them first" and "man needs his anime" arguments have been successfully used in court many times.

The mods, I'm sure, would also see your point of view. You should just go ahead and post the link.

 

[BelligerentOC]

honestly, just walk away now....

 

[Bigfonzie]

is it http://www.youtorrent.com/?

BURP!

Since you're clearly not picking up on the sarcasm and it's pissing me off...

If it has illegal content, it is against the rules. The mods will not bend these rules no matter how "convenient" it may be.

Fair enough just wanted some clarification on it.

Mods can close this one whenever then I suppose.

I clearly had an idea it would be taboo or I wouldn't have been as cautious as I was, but since I have clarification now I wont post it.

Funny, I seem to remember many tv/movie streaming sites being posted and discussed here like tvlinks, peekvid, eyeburn and the like; and that was with mods posting in those threads. So I don't see why there's a double standard.
It's not like torrent sites are only useful for sharing copyrighted data.

This metathread turned out slightly worse than the link in question.
