Re: Is it worth throwing away nostalgic stuff?

in Milliways
Is it worth throwing away nostalgic stuff, old pc games, etc.? How can throwing away something be worth anything? This question doesn't make any sense. Especially if you ask it in a forum full of people who collect old nostalgic stuff... Everyone's living and storage space is limited. So there can …

Re: Adlib Card - Clone / Real? Audio quality?

Plasma: It is your choice whether to follow the guidance you’ve received from moderators or to make up your own rules “based on the existing content here”. Since you haven’t said what you are afraid might happen and have indicated you are done with this thread, I guess I can’t help alleviate that …

maxxtherabbit, I agree. Fun thing is google still has the original post of op in my search results using link op provided in first post and while it doesn't link directly to the download, it comes pretty close :) So, not quite 'just mentioned the site' . My post was literally "winworldpc has XXXXX …

Read it correctly: „Mentioning the existence of these sites is not a violation of VOGONS rules, but inducing people to violate copyright is.“ It’s not about the law but the rules here. And the laws are different in countries. Posting links is not always guilt free ;( And the owner doesn’t want to …

Please try to understand the distinction between not getting an answer and getting an answer that you don’t like. Multiple moderators and community members have shared with you what behaviour that is acceptable here and the reasons why things are the way they are. I can tell that this is intensely …

This forum is filled with ebay links, software links, and posts with "X software is available on Y site". Excuse me for wanting clarification on whether that is actually allowed. I don't have your telepathic nuance detector. no one said that the moderators are tracking each new post - it "can" …

I obviously meant posting about how to infringe on copyright. Also things that are obvious: no one wants to re-write the rules to fit someone who's that pedantic. I obviously can't read your mind. That's not what you wrote. This forum is filled with ebay links, software links, and posts with "X …

The issue I have is with mods claiming something is not allowed while simultaneously admitting that it is allowed. Sometimes, if they feel like it, on Tuesdays after lunch. Just say it's a gray area and up to your discretion instead of pretending otherwise. They did at like the first page? That …

Re: WinWorldPC and Archive.org

I am keeping it honest. I had a post edited for simply naming a website that contained S'more Land Sea Plus Plus. Not even linking. I asked for clarification on the rules. What followed is two pages of ridiculousness. The conclusion I have come to is that the rules are actually guidelines, and you …
