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

[miracle fruit]

ok yeah I realized don't want piracy talk all over the forums either. that would be pretty hurtin i admit

however I think having a hidden subforum (probably within the spam forum? idk) would be a much better idea. discreet enough to not annoy people/get in trouble etc and still be able to discuss the best possible deals on games/movies/other crap (in the past i've gotten useful shit such as that massive collection of hanna-barbera sound effects off of torrent websites. just an example)

in the past we've had a 100% visible drugs forum so I don't think a hidden torrent subforum this is too ridiculous of a proposition

so vote

This is a good idea.

drugs forum was hidden to non official clocks actually.

I would imagine an initiative such as this should probably be discussed in a more private location.

my mistake

either way im proposing an even higher state of security for this super secret forum. think fort knox except goldfinger cant even get in

as long as it remains an official initiative

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.

make it so secret not even tom and wade can find out

ps. clear out your fucking inbox

The reason its banned is cause if we are are a source for pirated material we can easily be taken down. And since NG hosts us now it complicates it further. I'm not sure what their stance is on piracy. Does the NGBBS link to torrents?

[clockradioclock]

Oh and yeah we definitely don't want to be doing anything that Tom and Wade could be held liable for hosting should it get leaked.

This is probably my only objection to a piracy subforum. Unless we have a server of our own as well as a host willing to take the heat for any piracy-related issues, I don't suggest we go through with it. Sticking it to the Fulps is not the wisest nor the most respectful thing to do.

i seriously doubt it

We are the ClockCrew
We run newgroun-


I mean newgrounds runs us.

unless we literally have people shouting and screaming "hey look at all this shit i just torrented via clockcrew.cc" i doubt we will ever get investigated for piracy. which is why i proposed making it hidden so that kind of shit doesn't happen. if we dont get linked to, it shouldnt ever become a problem

[FLOUNDERMAN_CLOCK]

We can always just have a link that redirects to here. If its hosted off site we dont get in trouble I dont think.

Is it really so hard to find torrents that you need an entire subforum for it? Really? I don't remember ever having a hard time finding something I wanted to pirate

which might get me into trouble!!!

The hosting on ct.net expires in ~250 days though so it'd only be a temp measure.

This too, and mac torrents are a little more difficult to find what such high supply of "windows98/2000/XP/Vista/7/8/9" flooding search results.

[DWARFINATORclock]

do whatever as long as it doesnt harm or disrespect tom in any way imo

idk if piracy would

[buttplug]

Remember that time they came on here and started spamming and trolling us and then made us celebrate a day about them every year and then we started hosting them so they could more effectively use us as a vehicle for their pompous internet subculture

he does kind of have a point though.

[PowerGloveClock]

no, because discussing piracy is and always has been against the rules. you compare it to the drug forum but we never had a policy against posting about drugs before.

[PolyhedronClock]

if this was our site, i could get behind rationalizing it for a forum like that, but since it is tom doing the hosting, i'd say no out of respect for the guy.
