    Unless it's changed, we post links, not the actual material. You can get links anywhere, so it's no incentive to visit here.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    We're also not the fastest nor the most consistent when it comes to posting links.

    I wouldn't be so quick to say that GW-subs lost members. BoC was declining in his activities anyway. I can't think of anyone else who's left, and if anything the group would have gotten us more exposure and members signing up. The number of those who stayed wouldn't be any different than if GW-subs never happened.

    While gaining members may have been the initial trigger for starting that group running, I think the primary goal was to produce subs for people to enjoy. We can look at the effect of the group and what it had on the forums, but if we were to judge them by that then it'd be unfair.

    I'd like more members and fresh blood, but I wouldn't know how to do it.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    Are links to download copyrighted material not illegal?
    You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful. -Marie Curie

    Not sure, though I doubt it. As long as you're not hosting the material then I can't see that posting links to it is illegal. Either way, people won't visit and stay for links like I was saying.

    Yeah I agree, I`m personally comfortable with the amount of members we have, new members will always join in because of those early Naruto dubs.
