Do we go full ban on any site? Or do we only do it for warehouse + adfly? It just feels like it's a slippery slope to me and the lines can blur. Like, what if there are edits on the site? That's not completely someone else's work.Only for warehouses.
You can't link to that website because the download link has adfly. I'd rather not get viruses on my computer.

There's sites that can bypass it, just sayin'
I have some really negative feedback on this one. Her special attacks seem to leave her open for way too long, in fact, her grenade toss seems to take long to do everything, it takes long for her to juggle, then throw, then bounce, then explode, her hypers also seem to have inconsistent damage, as some have way more damage than others, and her AI is really weak in comparison to any Spec Ops character and has some weird interactions, as it sometimes it will keep juggling the grenade for even longer and during that intro where she uses Bison's cape and her hair changes colors, she will start attacking before the round begins.

So there's no problem with using Mugen Archive then? What happened to "Adfly causes viruses" and all that? Isn't this still putting people at risk?
It really should have a warning to let people know the site has adfly links.Ok, but can we at least change that warning to something whic sound less, how can I saw, a Doom warning? The way it is sounds like something will explod with the user click on it and this will lower A LOT the chance of people to get the character. Since this won't make much sense to me, I think I will do prefer to simply remove the post itself.
With that said Congrats on another releaseThanks buddy.
My case is very different than the other options listed above, since the adf link is places at my own site, not here directly.this doesn't really make a difference, it just means the user has to make more clicks to get to the ad fly link.
Guys, I really don't want to bring any issue or cause any harm to anybody here. I can even remove the topic if this is a problem.I'd prefer if you kept posting your releases on this forum, because you're a long standing and well know member of our community, but our users at the very least deserve to know there's a chance (however small) their pcs will get infected with adware/trojans/cryptoware.
I just would not like to see my site blacklisted. I know its your house and your rules, but I just think this could be a tad too much, like using a cannon to hit the head of an ant (as we say here).

Again, I don't want to cause any harm here and this had desmotivated me a lot, so I apologize.
Thanks.

there was a huge multipage argument (http://mugenguild.com/forum/topics/anyone-here-being-banned-my-huge-butt-no-reason-all-174638.msg2256032.html#msg2256032) against mugen archive and the main reason against the site was that it had adf links all over the place. there were several posts with evidence that the site was spreading malware, even users from this forum saying they got crippling malware from adf years ago. you can google and find (https://www.google.com/search?&q=adfly+malware) plenty of people talking about the malware it spreads
which is why i don't understand why there's this gray area to allow adf links when it seems pretty clear to me that adf is risky

But if you don't like my cigarette package warnings, that's fine too.
...not really, no. In the cigarette analogy the forum warning is actually more akin to the (mandatory) public warnings tobacco ads in radio and tv spots have at the end. An actual package warning would be adfly itself warning the user before redirecting him, which they of course would never do. Having the warning on your site is more like selling unmarked packages but having the store clerk tell you smoking causes emphysema and lung cancer.I'd prefer if you kept posting your releases on this forum, because you're a long standing and well know member of our community, but our users at the very least deserve to know there's a chance (however small) their pcs will get infected with adware/trojans/cryptoware.
But if you don't like my cigarette package warnings, that's fine too.
Thanks for the consideration. I understand your point and even agree with you. I just think this warning could be made in my page, not here. Using the cigarette as an example, is like to post a warning about it on someone's house door instead of the package. Got it?
But, in the other hand, this is a case that is beyond the jurisdiction of this site, because it is in another site and there is not automatic redirectionthis isn't any different from mugen archive. nobody from mugen archive came here to post direct adf links. the issue was that their site was using adf links, which makes it no different from yours in that regard
I would expect any mugen creator who uses Patreon and other crowdfunding methods to never have to rely on extra stuff like adfly to get some extra pocket change. IDK why people even bother with adfly to begin with, it doesn't give you enough money to be relevant and putting your userbase through the risk of getting their PC infected to download your stuff is honestly a dick move.
I checked O Ilusionista's Patreon, and right now he only gets 47$ per Month, that you have a Patreon doesn't mean that you automatically get showered with Money, so I can understand why he is relying on extra stuff.
Not that adfly is a crime or adfly=infected PC, even mediafire isn't that safe anymore. I know Ilu for a long time, if he could rid of adfly he'd did it instantly, he means no harm to anyone. We all want ourselves and our family members to be alive, not starving and have proper medicine...
Maybe the service he uses prevents him from removing adfly? I know some websites have services like that.
Wait, there's seriously hosting sites that automatically add adfly and prevent removal? What the fuck?Thats not a thing.
The point of the whole Mugen Archive debacle was not because they were making money off of other people's work, or that they were dicks about it (they were, but neither of those things were the ultimate goal). What was the ultimate goal was that adfly caused malware, and put users at risk. It's hypocritical to crucify one site that gives people viruses, then give a free pass to another site that gives people viruses just because they make stuff you like.
Either Adfly is a good thing, or it's a bad thing. There is no middle ground in this issue.
The moment someone we like does the same and suddenly "Hold up, we should reconsider this."No one (in the staff) said we should reconsider this. Everyone's trying to convince Ilu to abandon it, and the outcome is quite clear if he doesn't.

Shove it in there.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were still biased as they let O Ilu do this for years on end without being reprimanded, and this whole thing would've never had happened if I hadn't brought it up (and it would've died quickly too if Titlin and Red Navi had never said anything).in all fairness the gray area they had was for everybody that used adfly for their own content, not specific to ilu. the idea that such a gray area existed in the first place seemed insane to me, considering the mugen archive thread made it seem like adfly was the next black plague.
Judging from their posts, I assume Iced and Just No Point are still adamant about keeping brazilmugenteam unblacklisted.Their posts are dated 3 months back, this thread was revived and moved here when someone asked about O Ilu's site specifically. They haven't posted about it much since.
This pretty much.Judging from their posts, I assume Iced and Just No Point are still adamant about keeping brazilmugenteam unblacklisted.Their posts are dated 3 months back, this thread was revived and moved here when someone asked about O Ilu's site specifically. They haven't posted about it much since.
Also judging from their old posts, they're not so much adamant about keeping BMT links clear as they are about not policing too much. This isn't a "double standard" issue, they just don't know what to do with adfly links as a whole.
The moment someone we like...Are you sure about this? I don't think so, lol. Its quite the opposite...Some people who posted here have clear grudges against me (without a reason, may I say) and loved to poke at me, but, again, I will skip this subject.
Mugen Archive specifically is hosting other people's content without their permission while also hiding it behind dangerous, virus infested ads. It's the combination of both things that puts it over the line; I agree that we should be careful and try to avoid policing the community but there are still some things that are beyond the pale.
Can you guys give me an alternative to this site ?
MFFA keeps all works in one thread for convenience. Every version of a certain character will be in the thread of the game in question (ie: every Yoshitora in the SamSho thread).
I dare you to use Adfly without protection.
This is not up for discussion, dont advertise mugen archive here either, they re black listed for a reason.
P.S : The request is still up to provide me with a better alternative to Mugen Archive, if anyone know one. Thank you and good day my friends. :)

This is not a thread for your requests on warehouses.
Well, like he said, this is not the place to ask.
Are you sure about this? I don't think so, lol. Its quite the opposite...Some people who posted here have clear grudges against me (without a reason, may I say) and loved to poke at me, but, again, I will skip this subject.so why'd you bring it up at all? your persecution complex is showing
