SP1 Link On Front Page


Recommended Posts

sp1 on the front page is warez a violation of neowin policy.

so it looks like neowin has a double standard.

magoo gives me a pm warning about warez for talking about sp1 ' and magoo post direct links to downloads on the front page :mad:

I thought I was a neowin member, but I guess I'm not. I don't want to be a member here , so you can delete my account

pretty weird really... i think the sp1 link was provided so neowin gets more famous or something... there should be a standard and ppl (everybody) should follow it!

It also slows down the server and angers all of Neowin's members. Neowin potentially could lose members if they continue to do that. JMHO.

News gets around they have the link and therfore more people show up to download it, putting a higher strain on the server and it's bandwidth.

Not hosting directly, but some people were still coming to the main site just to get the link...even that adds strain to the server.

that isn't what she is saying... she is simply stating that more ppl come to the site so that puts a strain on the server... neowin only provided the link and ppl show up to use it
