Well most post have links to nzb on http host. 98% have nzb in a.b.ftd (small group) and for the rest you can use something like binsearch. So yes you never need to do xpat or group update. But it's only usefull for people who speak dutch or else it's very hard to understand all the funtions. For xvid/svcd you might find something there that isn't on newzbin, but dvdr are all pal or custom subbed ntsc, so for dvdr you can better use newzbin.

@SycoShaman: omg you are so dumb. go fuck yourself !


Really, ur a Newsbin Editior eh? I wonder what the rest of the newsbin ppl are gunna think about "Go fuck urself comment". I mean, thats not good business now is it? I mean, I dont really like McDonalds, so its ok for every cashier to tell me to go fuck myself?

Thanks dude, gunna email ur company in a few mins....fuckin dipshit Laughing

Btw, u've given more reason not to pay for a service that is run by immature "adults". I expect more from a company/site - as does everyone else.

He's an editor ... far from those who "run" the site. Think of him as someone who gets paid to index the stuff -- just a grunt Very Happy

The idea of of downloading by using the msg id (instead of the article id, which was the way of downloading things before) aint yours Razz

You just commercialized it and profit from it

msg id - unique to message something like <segment bytes="258365" number="1">part1of81.qQigms174v0blxXeIwDI@powerpost2000AA.local</segment>
article id - unique to server - so headers needed

The easier usenets made the more idiots join, do we want that..

I realize that. I pointed that out in the email i sent that this idiot is just an editor, which comesdime a dozen...gave them the link to the thread and copied his msg over into the email.
Its sad when one fool shames a company's name with such retarded remarks...its like Mrt coming on here and calling us all cockfags...he may truly believe that, but its not good for business ya know?
Laughing Imagine if Skid, or Max or some mod went over to IsoNews and started flaming them for the occasional comment they make about Nforce....*shakes head*

Why? Because I compare a service to other services? How is that flaming? Am I not allowed to compare service a to service b? U my friend, being someone who represents the company in a way, should act in a more mature fashion, which i made clear in my email.

Oh and btw, i dont try to be anyone on the internet u loser. I have a life and whether or not im know on the internet doesnt make a difference. Ur insecurities are showing man...very sad.

I personally think, 12 year olds with a "puter" and a hard on shouldnt be Newzbin Editors...

You cant compare something without using it. Rolling Eyes I really appreciate your efforts helping me to be a better editor and to educate me how to represent the "company".
The following statement should't be a flame it's just my very honest feeling: I commiserate you very much and i'm sad that young ppl like you had to end up like this.

night

btw: nice response time - 24/7 Wink

here your quotes:

dont u have to have a pay account to get even pars off of newzbin...by the way, those ppl at newzbin are fuckin scam artists...they actually charge money to see what files are listed in a certain group and shit where as u can find numerous, better updated sites that provide the same service for free





SycoShaman wrote:
first of dipshit, not tying to flame u tho (sarcasim), im not new to newsgroups and have been using em since the early 90's thank u very much And dude, go to newzbin. Click on the games section. Click a game, then when it brings u to that page with the game info, click the link "show Files"....which then says u need a Premium Account to access the files....which u have to pay for...so my question to u is, how long have u been using newzbin?
here's an example...http://www.newzbin.com/browse/post/1394057/
Click the show files button...doesnt work now does it? Cuz u need a premium account for a service that is offered for free by other sites....naw, thats not a scam now is it? And the fact they rely on user's to contribute to their index is retarded as not all groups are covered and not usually on time...U know how many times Ive downloaded something like a new big release from a group, and it takes newzbin like 5 hours or so to post that the game was posted in whatever group - half the time its not even the group i got my shit from...they are scammers, plain and simple

And nbzone or whatever u commented on, well, atleast they actually post shit, sometimes 0day games or movies, but they do post new releases all the time in certain groups...obviously ur not aware of this or the groups they post in...

Now go to...www.binnews.com (i think that is the site). U can search for a game, say Fable, find out what group its in, then go one step further and see the files associated with post - are they complete, incomplete, do they have par files etc...

But lets go pay newzbin because they have their own little nzb file extension that allows to u just load the nzb file and it auto downloads the headers/files contained in it...instead of u know, clicking on alt.binaries.whatever and selecting them manually...

And like Ive said, i always see 0day posts from nzbzone....not once have I seen a poster representing newsbin...all they do is archive and they do a shitty job to say the least. And they charge for it...no, thats not a scam at all.....

Newzbin however charges u for this service...to actually see the individual file names...wtf is that? they are just tryin to make a quick buck. .Pay for their service all u want, but it still doesnt mean I dont get the exact, if not better service from free websites...u may want to consider paying them to do jack shit? or tings others do for free...really, would u take the free baseball tickets or the ones u have to pay for and they are th exact same seats?

I'm locking this subject until I get more clarity on nzb files and their sites.
Personally I think nzb files should be treated the same way as torrents. So a lot of sites posted here have illegal content on them. I know you're going to say that nzb files aren't illegal, but them neither are torrents. However it's still against the forums rules.

PM me and if I get the okay to reopen I will.

You can name the site that's fine you can list your methods of getting the file as long as you do not give the url to the site. We can talk about these sites but to link them is against the rules. These sites can be used for legal purposes true but for what nforce is about we know what the main purpose of what your going to use it for. So please find it yourself we do not want to be a direct source of getting illegal content.

Honestly dude, whatever

I have the right to dislike the newzbin service.

And really, why do u even give a flying fuck what I think? really? and thats a rhetorical question, I dont want an answer cuz really, I could careless...I will however, discourage ppl from using the newzbin pay service, because of u....and I know, Im a loser and it wont make a difference...think what u may, but a few of my friends have already cancelled their service and promise, more are to come

Anyway, nice talking with ya

Oh, and Jenni, Newzbin is a legal site as they only index usenet, they dont provide access to illegal files - along the same lines as GCW and shit ya know?

GCW links aren't allowed here. Torrent sites just link to none copyrighted material too. They're not allowed. The same should be with nzb sites. Newzbin does carry nzb's doesn't it Syco. Any site that enables a user to download copyrighted material illegally should be disallowed.

GCW links are allowed here as MRT said they are...shall I cut and paste the message again? Cuz I asked him and he said linking to GCW and Affils is fine...

Ask him if u dont believe me.

EDIT - Better yet, here's the msg from Mrt, and my inital question

SycoShaman wrote:
Hey man, Jenni mentioned in a thread that linking to gamecopyworld.com is not allowed.
Many of the mods use this link on a reg basis, for new users and the like as owning a no cd fixed exe file for your original game is not illegal in anyway.
I asked Agressor and he said he wasnt sure, and suggested I ask u.

It provides new user's with some what decent dox resource and isnt illegal - thats my reasoning anyway.
By Jenni's logic, we shouldnt be allowed to link to cdmediaworld or whatever the url is, the site that carries all the latest apps to get around various copy protections.
And ive seen mods refer to this site on numerous occasions

So, is it ok?


[mrt] wrote:
Those sites have been around for ages and they're still up and running. So yes, i dont see any reason why we should stop linking to those sites.


-------------------

So please, for the benefit of the noobs, stop saying shit like its not allowed here as it is.
Its not like they are "leet" sites. Ur legally allowed to own a game fix for your original game, ur also allowed to own one back up for your original game. Thats what these sites are for.
