As well as laying down the law about uploading torrents that require BitRoll to unlock, stating with full intentions, that anyone who uploads these kinds of torrents WILL be banned. This, indeed, is because we care about protecting the users. Safe ads are ok for raising funds as facilitating filesharing is a very expensive hobby. I do believe more users should donate to their favourite sites to prevent such desperation from occuring, though it's an ethical question whether to scale back your operation or allow these tasteless scam ads onto your pages. #17-You're funny as hell and I used to love to agree with you, but the fact is you have to stop the idiotic from standing under an anvil because the blood just might get on other users. It took me awhile in my position to see that. #22-You'll never know now that utorrent has been bought out by Bit Torrent who has a deal with the MP@@. Trust that I have been watching the client though and 1.6 stable and below are clean. 1.6.1 might also be, but I didn't bother with this beta as it was Ludde's final and we have made up our mind to allow utorrent stables for now, but ban betas. We don't want to aid development of a client owned by the MP@@, which allowing betas does whereas allowing stables does not. Besides, testing betas for safety along with every stable is much more work for me than it's worth, given my real life and many more duties on the site. My advice is not to trust utorrent until new version is verified to be ok. So, stay tuned into what authoritative sources say, like Slyck and torrentfreak, of whom I'll send news to if I myself find a future utorrent unclean. #12-I'll have to test admuncher in a VM to see if it's as good as adblock combined with running a Proxymitron proxy for the network with the right settings. Very tiny as overhead goes and it's been awhile since I've seen an ad, so I was even unaware of these Torrent 101 ads.

Now I have nothing against people who want to make money, that’s fine but I do have issues with people who have a high and mighty atittude like Bogaa while sitting in a glass house.

Your site is responsible for sending thousands of users to Usenext who sign up for a 14 day free trial only to be charged when trying to cancel. I have no problem with you doing this as its your site to run how you please but don’t pretend you are this holier than thou person, you have no right to critiscise a site that has held it’s hands up for a mistake when you are still scamming your own userbase and have been for ages.

./end rant.

Usenext is not a scam, ask anyone who has actually used it, instead of believing someone who is pissed off because their site got banned from affiliation.

Why hasn't he removed this ad? Money means more than the welfare of his users, that's why. Such hypocrisy.
