I've run this place for over 20 years. The golden rule is that anyone found buying and selling will be banned. I could enrich myself and open a market, take a fee, or lock all content to VIPs and revenue share.
I do not.
Why?
Because I chose open source. If I had limited the content over the years, where would we be? I've had to flee to Russia once to keep everyone safe, and here we are.
I cannot, under any circumstance, go against myself. I cannot. I would rather be broke with integrity than rich promoting a system that defeats the goal.
I don't play bias. I appreciate the VIP support, but I would still ban any asshole who tries to manipulate or play games. Those who've met me in real life or spoken to me know I am what you see.
I don't keep files.
I don't hide behind paywalls.
You can all have your little girly squabbles, but if it gets my attention and people threaten lawsuits over files based on IP they don't own, good luck.
I've committed myself, a loyal team, and a support system behind the scenes that does a lot for you all.
I also don't give a flying F whatever a person paid for files that got leaked. You spent $12k, that makes you an idiot.
Got it?
I do not.
