Just bordering on the racist, there.

I think he's commenting on how rather formal you speak, as well as how unoften we hear any sort of humor from you.

I can't remember why your beta uploads were shut down, but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with legal stuff, it wasn't that people didn't want to look into it, it's just that it breaks copywrite laws.

of course I could be thinking of something else and am just spewing non-sense

haha naa am not racist i like all cultures and people, If your an Oddworld fan i like you more lol, But as i said i never made the forum to annoy anyone i just made it to release Japan imports and prototype and betas ect..

I like all cultures and people, too. Except those fucking beaners.
Huh?

Yeah i understand what you mean, I just wanted a place to share my finding and releases and as they deleted my threads i made my own little forum, I know its not the best but it is active and is used. I would like you to join but its your choice of course

I'm actually curious now, why were these threads deleted?

Yeah my threads were deleted thats why i started a forum, They said copyright piracy then removed the thread

There's probably a legitimate reason.

If he posted links to protected works of some kind then that would be a good reason. Not sure if prototypes and betas fall in that category though.

Abe 99 is a full commercial release, and pirating it is definitely illegal. Development versions are probably just as illegal, but less likely to be policed.

Now everyone shut up.

Nepsotic, can you please stop being stupidly annoying?

Scanning through this thread I'm surprised it hasn't been locked already.
Not much else to add other than I really don't see the point in advertising your own Oddworld forum on a well-established one.

There is actually an interesting problematic going on here. Legendary Oddworld has a passion for alternate and beta versions of the games we all know and love. But due to some rules of this forum, that should absolutely not be changed, he can not fully share his findings even tough they could interest some people on this forum, including me.

So yeah what's the best thing to do then? I'm not sure an alternate forum is the answer, but what is?

Start a thread on any random warez forum. Problem solved.

Yes, but by talking about this new forum and saying that he made it due to not being able to post his findings here, he effectively did just post his findings here without actually posting them here.

Honestly, if we're throwing ideas for alternate formats around then consider a Wiki. You can collaboratively gather information, and just circulate the betas privately. It's better to just post your findings where everyone can see them without worrying about legality.

Thank you for understanding my opinion this is why i respect the staff here so much if this stuff is ever accepted on this site i will be sure to post here all the time. This is a great forum so i use this and my own and i always will, This is an Oddworld forum the other is just a beta archive and a place to share Iso's.

I have a passion for cookies. Yummy, delicious cookies.

You spelt 'cooties' wrong

You spelt 'cooters' wrong

Yeah, sorry about that.

May I remind you that cookies are against the rules on this forum, and should be discussed privately or on the Wiki.

Cooters are definitely allowed, though.

You spelt 'I'm going to stop spamming this thread' wrong

For what it's worth, the link that Legendary Oddworld posted that I deleted was not a beta, but was a full version of Abe 99. Definite copyright infringement there.

Well in that case, let me add to my list of tips:

6. Any website you want to start up that explicitly deals in distribution of copyrighted content is going to be shut down sooner rather than later. Once you start receiving official warning letters you'll be shutting shit down so fast you'll be unplugging your microwave just to be on the safe side.

Tell that to the Pirate Bay.

tpb has been shut down many times. It does apply.

No it doesn't, it's still up, and it has never gone down because it has so many domains (is that the right word?).

Not that far from me, BTW can some one explain/link to what Kapteeni13 did here? I didn't hear 'bout it.

He got some sand in his vagina. There was other details, but they aren't as important.

Aaaand Nep got himself an infraction.

Paul: He hasn't had many posts. You can search for it easily enough.

Hey, you're not allowed to discuss infractions.

Aye, Nep, but those who started TPB aren't exactly doing so hot these days.

Last I checked the founders/owners of the Pirate Bay have all served jail time and got stuck with a 4 million dollar fine.

It's still up, though!

... Albeit blocked by most major ISPs.

So unless Legendary Oddworld has an army of sympathisers prepared to set up proxies as fast as they can be taken down, I'd say the comparison isn't really apt.

Well there is a website that takes you to a new unblocked PB domain with every click but I won't say it in case I get banned for advocating piracy or some bullshit like that.
Just to be clear, I'm not on anybody's side here. I couldn't give a poo about Legendary Oddworld's thread, I'm just making points.

Stupid, worthless points.
