    People Google for an answer and get directed to a forum and a fix which usually involves downloading a file. If you think a file will fix your problem than you are hardly going to waste time on other business. I have been modding my kids Wii over Christmas and TBH I have been doing the same all these people.

                Greetings from USA. I'm new here. If I had something to share that wasn't already here, I'd be sharing. This is a wonderfull site packed with an almost too good to be true wealth of information, not to mention the awsome collection of most groovy progies and music. I love it here. If I run across anything I suspect even remotely usefull to DK I will most definately share.

                Best Regards, roadwarrior

                  that is why a forum gets better and more people join everyone
                  has a different thing they do and sharing is a great way to help out.

                      I dont think i've ever downloaded anything from here (to be honest i didnt know there was anything to download), i came here seeking advice on a particular subject, got the advice and stuck around.

                      I guess thats the same for most people.

                              if you look at the posters of all the links they are all new members all posting the same links

                              There is a large contingent of posters that go around forums posting these.. most are currently from the far east with a lot currently based in vietnam.. they post links to download sites that get people to join/subscribe to them therefore earning the site money.. Some of these posters may own the sites themselves some are just earning a sort of comission payment from these sites for their links attracting new subscribers. Many of these posters are from the same ISPs and therefore working as a team.. When duplicate/multiple IDs are discovered then these guys loose their membership here.. Clearing up this section is almost a full time job as they do not speak English and not understand the warnings they receive, you will note that there are a few posters in there who are currently serving bans for not obeying the rules of that section even after recieving a written warning..

                              However it is useful for somebody else to be posting links to films other than me for a change, ites easy enough to find them to post them yourself.. It is a busy section and almost all of these types of posters have no intention of being a part of the forum 'community' as they have a goal of earning from it.. You will note the proliferation of d/l sites with links being offered, to be honest i would not bother with them unless they were on rapidshare or mediafire anyway... hotfile is a pile of crap for a start...

                              The software section is one that will need looking at more, but without feedback on the links its hard for us to check each one.. I would be suspicious of a lot of the apps available for free... its up to the person who downloads them to have a secure PC that will allow them to scan the links/downloade file before running it.. Most bent software by its very nature hides something and users of forums like this are generally quite savvy and have more PC protection and thought about what they install or the source of the download. Like Lainie rightly says, i also only download from posters that i rate as posting quality clean links as she does.. credability is earned in such sections not given just coz you post in them..

                              If you see duplicate links or try something that is suspect, use the report post function giving us some detail and we can act on it as required...

                              hope that helps....
