Initiative to create a hidden piracy subforum (within the spam forum preferrably)

[NintendrCkolc]

honestly we can probably just keep it in blast or on clocktopia. As much as I'd like to see it here, I just don't see how we would be able to do it with Newgrounds essentially already hosting the site.

If we could get the OK from tom or wade (which we won't) I'd support this.

miraclefruit, start your own clock crew where you can post nsfw images and torrents. eventually you'll become staff here, that's how these things work.

I figure there are other sites for that sort of thing. I don't think we really need anything like that here.

Lets make a hidden pirate forum where we all roleplay and pretend were pirates.

just beg random people for an invite to waffles.fm or some shit it'd accomplish much more than a piracy subforum

My concern is that there is some other practical/legal reason why we do not allow for it in the first place. It seems to me that the Clock Crew has never been really opposed to piracy, and we wouldn't have a rule against discussing it unless there was a good reason. Then again, that rule's been around longer than I have, I may be under a mistaken impression there.

It's to avoid violating the ToS of the host, quite an old rule. Piracy has always been discussed in private, though certain other clock crew sites have had piracy subforums. As far as the Fulps seeing things, they're not realistically going to go digging through our stuff looking for hidden things.


But yeah, I don't know why anyone needs a piracy subforum anyway. If you can't figure shit out, ask someone. We have a group of reasonably knowledgeable individuals.

Talking about piracy definitely shouldn't be against the rules. I'm sure it's not against any TOS or law to discuss piracy as long as we don't post any links. We should at least link to Clocktopia's piracy forum since Clocktopia is pretty much dead and could use the hits.

[AbsintheClock]

It's against our TOS to talk about piracy. What you talk about in clocktopia is none of my business. Do what you want with that site, but leave it out of here. We have to respect the man paying the bills, and that's Tom.

[Sinister Clock]

Are you referring about the TOS you give to us, the user, or the TOS set by the hosting company/tom? Also what does the TOS actually say? Just curious is all. But yeah if it's against your TOS with Tom/Tom's host to even discuss or encourage piracy or maybe just ambiguously worded, then I can see the point of restricting it.
