    I think they go for the free sites because that's where presumable the most downloads come from.

    Why on earth aren't my URLs being parsed?

    Maybe because you used some non-standard syntax. Here's how you do it:

    The assertions made in the parent post are an excellent example of why effective January 1, 2005, SA will no longer support, promote or condone any file sharing protocols, servers, devices, etc in any way shape or form.

    Recently there has been a MASS influx of members who joined SOLELY for the "file" forums. The members fee for SA is for the quality of the forums, not the availability of the files. As a member myself, I wasn't even clued into the file forums until a solid year into my membership there, and I felt my $10 was well spent up till then. With the popularity of the file forums has come a plague of 14 year old 1337 H@>0®5 in search of free porn and software. Noting this trend, the community collectively decided to terminate the file forums entirely.

    I assure you, the SA community despises the recent rash of idiots more than you possibly could.

    SA was best as it's original off color "humor" site platform. Hopefully this action will be a push back in that direction.

    PS: In the future, perhaps it would be wise to refrain from overtly slamming an entire community you know nothing about, based solely half-cooked assumptions.
