Basic Rule
First rule of Fight Club
  • The moderator's of the given section are there to keep things neat and tidy.

    They have the right to move posts, as well as edit or delete them as they see fit, and in accordance to the rules and guidelines. The MODs job is to keep their given section neat and tidy and to moderate their forum as they see fit. Don't get into an arguement with them about moving, editing or deleting because that's what they are here to do. Flaming, or editing out Mods edits will most likely result in ban and deletion. It's best just to follow what they say, remember they are board users just like you.

  • If you think you have been treated unfairly by a moderator, please pm me immediately

Global Rules
Flaming Users/Individuals/Groups
  • This kind of action will not be tolerated. Blatant flames will be immediately deleted, we don't need that crap here please.

    Watch your language or tone when discussing issues because if your not careful you'll be caught in the middle of a flame war, and that can result in warnings and/or bans. Be careful about starting political or religious threads because most flamewars start off with one of these topics (ie. US foreign Policy). Religious or racial intolerance is not allowed (keep it to yourself please).

  • Do not post any ip address of anyone.
  • Post count does not mean experience or respect. Treat users equally or based on what they post, not how many times they post.
  • Absolutely no 'he's a leech' threads are allowed.

    This is just paranoia and it's infectious for those that are new to edonkey/don't understand how it works. You will be warned and the topic locked/deleted.

Flaming Users/Individuals/Groups - Ammendment
It is come to my attention that certain individuals and organisations are attempting nothing short of blackmail, invasion of privacy, abuse, and other such threatening actions. Therefore under these circumstances, an apt response is appropriate. Under these conditions, the posting of information such as ip addresses and other such information described above can be posted to help defend against unlawful actions. The board administrators take no responsibility for any information posted in these regards.

DVD-rips are .avi/.ogm or other extensions (not VCDS). The reason VCDs don't go in this section is because many people don't like watching movies on their computer and prefer to watch VCDs in their dvd player. Similary is the fact that many people want ace quality on a small amount of discs, which divx more often provides.

DVD-rips ---> High Quality section (unless the source is of poor quality)
VHS/TV/poor DVDrops --> Verified lower quality section
Unverified/Screeners/TS --> Unverified and Screener section
VCD/SVCD/xVCD/DVDr --> VCD Section
MOVIE REQUESTS --> Request Movie Section
MOVIE RESHARES ---> Reshare Movie Request Section
Anyone interested in... / Spread Check --> Interest posts or spread checks
Any form of help requestion --> help section
Disccusions about films/games/literature --> cabal
Hardware and Software discussions --> Hardware/Software Section

Topic Titles
  • Do NOT put REQ: or REL: in the title, or anything excessive or off topic

    They are simply not needed, as I have spent time organising a structure so all requests go in a specific board, and all releases go in another. If you put REL: or REQ:, your post will be edited or deleted (not if it's a release of course :) ). If you post a request with REQ: in the title and find it's gone, you know why. Please try to stick to only putting the name fo the film your after in the title if you are doing a request, don't put any stupid crap in the title please, like 'I am looking for'. People will tend to ignore it.

  • Do not put anything stupid in your topic title. The best topics are those of the syntax 'Title (Year)'

    If your posting in the help section, 'help' is a very stupid topic and will waste everyone time. Put something that sums up your question/problem, eg. 'Can't get AC3 sound to work'. If you are wanting a reshare, do not type 'can someone reshare', etc. Simply put the filename in the title, ie. 'Evil Dead Trap 2'. In the message body, always post your link and tell the people how much you've got... it will ensure the right file is reshared. If you are requesting a movie, series or game, please put an http://www.imdb.com link in the message body to ensure that people know what your after, and if your after a particular version mention that too. In the topic title, put the name of the film, and maybe the year in which it was made. Any info provided helps people know what film your talking about.

Requests
Before requesting, try the search option at the top of these boards. If no match is found, feel free to request, but please provide as much information as possible, including http://imdb.com links where applicable

Information to include with a release
  • Always include ed2k:// links, do not simply post links to topics on other sites.

    Please include the link, because if that site goes down or alters it's format it renders your post useless, not to mention many sites are incredibly slow. Posts that do not include ed2k links will be deleted or edited.

  • If you are releasing, it is very helpful if you include the following information

    File specs --> use gspot to get them if you don't know
    http://www.imdb.com link
    where your sharing/server,
    and you must include your edonkey link
    Pictures also help people a lot, not essential, but these are just nice to include (best way to do screenshots is to load up a paint app, load up virtual dub-->open your file and then 'copy source frame to clipboard' at random points in your rip, simply pasting your shots into your paint app each time). Ensure that your website supports remote linking though (see avatar section)

Posting a ed2k: link
To post a link, simply post the link exactly as edonkey gives it to you. The link will be clickable.

Links to Cracking, hacking or Porn
Please do not insert links to cracking, hacking or porn websites. Any illegal direct links are not allowed, simply because this is an edonkey board. Porn is not allowed because this board has nothing to do with it, it is completely off-topic even in the general board

Summary of prohibited release content
ed2k is legal in most countries due to the fact it is MD4 hash pointing to something that may or may not be illegal, that may or may not be there and is not available to download directly from any server. We're sticking with that :)
Might as well take this point to clarify what is and isn't allowed :) This board is an edonkey2000 board, meaning that releases must be shared on this network. BT works in the same way, thusly it is allowed to be posted here, but as this is primarily an ed2k board, BT must be in support of the ed2k link.

If a topic does not contain a ed2k:// link, it is not allowed in a release section.

IRC rooms are legal, therefore they are allowed to be talked about, so too are binaries. However, posts to IRC bots or direct downloads via ftp, http or links to sites offering warez over ftp, http are illegal and thusly is not allowed.

So to summrise, every release should include a ed2k:// . Until I discover otherwise and based on legality.
Allowed:
  • Edonkey2000/Emule links: ed2k://
  • Bit Torrent: http:// * .torrent

Banned:
  • http:// to warez or illegal material
  • ftp:// to warez or illegal material

Not Wanted:
  • Kazaa: sig2dat
  • http:// to corporate / anti-piracy sites


Talking about any of those is fine, although warez sites are strictly forbidden and 'recruiting' (or any other such activities) to any warez communities is not allowed. As primarily an ed2k site, please do not post excessively about other mediums.

Remote Linking and Avatars
Image Hosting
If you are wanting an avatar or would like to post pictures, ensure that your webhost supports remote linking.

If you pay for webspace or use the space your isp provided, this feature is almost cetainly supported. However, for free websites this is a different matter and many will no longer support this ie. geocities. Anyone with broken avatars will have them removed if they aren't sorted out, because it isn't fair on everyone who see's a grotesque red x (IE users). If your looking for a place to store images, banners or avatars, try www.lycos.co.uk , the uk version allows remote linking.

Where to store images
http://members.lycos.co.uk/hhahscreens3/

HHAH Fileuploading

Here you can store avatars, screenshots and nfos. To upload just browse and hit submit, if you posted an image you can then use the generated bbcode to paste into the forums.
You are limited to 500 kb upload
For the time being, only jpg, jpeg, gif and nfo files are accepted
Please post images that comply to the board rules, if it is an avatar, you are limited to 150x150 pixels


Back to top
Keep your sig small!
Any huge pics will be deleted or resized, plain and simple. If people abuse this feature, it will be removed. Always think of those on worse connections than you, if your on a crap connection you should already know better. The current board setting does not allow avatars larger than 150x150 pixels.
