EQ2i has plat ads all over their site and Allakhazam doesn't .. which is worse in your book?

Same thing in my view. You take drug money, you are the same as a drug dealer.

wow, LFG, its time to stop making these ludicrous comparisons. I do not call a barbie dall an STD infested stripper, and I would never compare RMT businesses to gangs, drug dealers, lady macbeth, or any such nonsense.

I'm sorry you form opinions about these things through such a frighteningly gruesome looking glass, and I'm urging you to step back and take a nice breath of reality.

Dotcom founders still in Spanish jail

Police uncover huge cache of child porn

Nick Farrell, vnunet.com, 10 Oct 2002

The founders of flopcom Digital Entertainment Network (DEN) are still languishing in a Spanish jail, and investigators in the US are stepping up efforts to bring them home to face sex offence charges.
DEN co-founders Marc Collins-Rector, Chad Shackley and Brock Pierce were arrested in June on an international warrant after being indicted in New Jersey on five counts of transporting a minor across state lines for the purpose of engaging in sexual acts.
The company raised $75m through an Initial Public Offer, but collapsed as allegations of its founders' conduct hit the media. DEN's assets were sold at auction for $105,000 this summer.
The men fled to Spain where they were arrested by Spanish police who found "enormous amounts of child porn" at their villa.
All three are likely to face Spanish charges, but US police have stated that Spain will let the US charge them first, according to the New York Post.
Collins-Rector, Shackley and Pierce already face a $4.5m default judgement over offences with teenaged boys in the Beverly Hills and west Los Angeles area dating back to the early 1990s, after losing a civil court case brought by victims.

THIS GUY HAS BEEN FOUND GUILTY BY A COURT OF LAW AS A CHILD MOLESTER SNARK. WHY ARE YOU DEFENDING HIM?

Snark · 05-02-2007, 10:23 PM

I'm not defending him. I'm defending the RMT market and the people who run and contribute to fansites from your overgeneralizing dramatic nonsense. Have I ever contributed to a fansite? No. (besides some random stuff on eq2i). Have I or will I ever purchase or sell anything involving a RMT website(other than SE)? No.

You should be ashamed for drawing such ill-intended conclusions about the people who work to enhance the play experience of a large chunk of the mmo gaming population.

I should be ashamed of myself? I don't think so. I believe that people who take money from illicit RMT ads are like prostitutes. I'm sorry if you disagree with me, or see the situation differently. But it is you who is being dramatic and overgeneralizing, to make this entire situation seem less than what it is.

I never said you were. I said your paycheck comes from one. I wouldn't be able to do that, it looks like you have no problem with it.
