hello hello I'm not done lurking yet but I like this webbed site a lot already.....

now I've got a question right at the start – in the books section I saw that DMCA requests are causing a wee bit of trouble, and I'm fairly proficient at casting cyber-/online spells, so my question is: how do people feel about posts that include site-wide protection spells? cos if that's allowed I'd use my actual introduction post for it, further down in this thread. call it a community service lol

otherwise I'd just make a regular reply to this thread and introduce myself properly without the spell included

thoughts?

I have no objection to a site-wide protection spell, but I'll defer to others who are the mods/admins to answer you.

I wasn't aware of the DMCA requests issue, but it might be a better use of energies to instead just use practical workarounds. It looks like everyone just uses Mega still? That seems like a very 2018 solution to file hosting on a site that is well-known to collect DMCA inspection because of its past.

Libraries are where knowledge flow freely, but libraries have doors that lock to keep book burners out.

Sure go ahead.

Feel free to suggest a 2025 solution in the suggestions section.
