I tested something from 855 days ago and it was pretty incomplete on giga. Random incomplete, not DMCA. Astra filled in all the blanks.
It's just you. Giganews has seen your representation of grammar and spelling and is appropriately hoping you discontinue your contract with them.Quote:

That's why they have to charge so much to their other customers, to provide free access to their cohort of pimps.Quote:

Maybe you're trying to tell us that you have some kind of arrangement at least remotely similar to nntpjunkie, who presumably does not pay for usenet either (in fact, quite the opposite!). But if that were the case, it would appear to be at odds with the things you were claiming in the past.Quote:

I missed it originally, but the fact of its removal caused me to take a second look.Quote:

That's got to be the fastest I've EVER seen a takedown (and unlike HBO's limp-wristed strikes, this one is a complete knockout). Those UFC guys certainly don't mess around! :w00t:Quote:

He just can't help from being ridiculous, can he? I'd feel bad for him if I wasn't so insensitive towards his obvious developmental retardation. I think I've been too accommodating, I even rewrote some of his posts to show him how to be taken seriously instead of sounding like a fumbling idiot. I realize I was overshooting there, the boy finds pimping a difficult and overly complicated venture. I should have known better.Quote:

All I got to say is thanks for making me laugh today, I needed it! Anyway on to another beer on this Friday...Quote:

I hope this is not a sign of the future, the way this release was hit, with such speed and thoroughness. Maybe we were growing lazy when the only takedowns typically were with Giganews and Highwinds and no one else (even if these 2 companies together made up the vast majority of the [long-retention] binaries market) and even then, easily fixed by pars or a fill-server.
Usenet posts flew under the radar during all the previous enforcement sweeps - FTP and "personal websites" in the 1990s, then Napster, Morpheus, Kazaa, eDonkey, Limewire, Bittorrent, and one-click file hosts in the 2000s - but has now started to become a primary target of the anti-P2P enforcers, and it the enforcement grows and spreads we might need to start developing new strategies.
But so far The Pirate Bay still ignores (except to ridicule) all takedown requests, so it might be the only truly safe place left for the foreseeable future. (Just make sure to use a trustworthy proxy, as UFC could easily launch another mass torrent lawsuit.)
