uloz.to?

piratebay.org? serienjunkies.org? sddfilms? kickasstorrents?

my $0.02 I know we'd want it to be an "archive", this FLM, but it isn't an archive. It's a history of e-mule links. And like with all history, some of it is actual, some of it isn't. It was started as eMule and let's keep it eMule. that's my opinion.

I respect your opinion. It's just that I'm afraid FLM will die, because less and less users are eMule capable. You can't (easily) run eMule in smartphone or tablet and filesharing with mobile connection is impossible anyway. As Phuzzy wrote in previous post, the number of eMule users has dropped by half in last two years and the trend will probably continue. New and inexperienced users get frustrated, because they expect the links to actually work, not to be of historic value only.

Any other ideas about how to popularize eMule and FLM? Facebook? Twitter? iTunes and Netflix links?

That's a good questions and I see your point. I haven't given it much thought though. I am contributing, what else can I do.
I think in the future less people will care about owning files on drives. Streaming is very popular and when everything popular is available through streams, maybe only sentimental people (like me) will want to own a copy. I agree there is no filesharing on mobile platforms although there are hundreds of services for streaming, legal and illegal.

You and phuz have a point the numbers of users dropping etc. Dunno, really. I'll give it some thought.

Hopefully we all have come to a satisfactory common ground.

What about "Stagnant water grows stinking"?

Maybe we should also stick to 700 MB divx, because 15 years ago we concluded that it was the best format?

Personally I don't care, just wanted to hear people's opinion. Besides it was popdrome who started it

I agree, mimzy. I think we should have spirited debates on issues important to us. Obviously members adding uloz.to links to threads is an issue with popdrome, hence the reason he started this topic. I just felt after 2 & 1/2 pages of discussion, most of the pertinent points had been made on each side. (Yet here I am adding to the thread; twice!... )

Of course, I'm not the best debater and relent pretty quickly when faced with fierce opposition. Passive-aggressive, my ex used to call me. Spitefully.

I wasn't trying to offend with my post, just amuse.

How about beating a dead mule?
