• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Piracy...

Or theft, which is what it really is.
We have recently been investigating pirate websites and have found disturbing evidence of people stealing from Fs developers.
Some of the individuals (who are also members of the SOH) we have discovered to be thieves have been upstanding, members of society and one has worn a uniform of the United States armed services besmirching the honor of their service. In one exchange of e-mails after IanMCD was banned as a pirate, this person (I use the word "person" advisedly) eventually confessed with a string of abuse against a developer and a senior administrator who has recently been incapacitated following a stroke.
These individuals are a cancer inside our fellowship, sapping the lifeblood from our developers and yet purporting to be regular citizens.
We will track you down and as we find you we will eliminate you from our forums. We will use all the information at our disposal to prevent you re-registering here again.
No fsim developer makes a fortune or even a living from their work and for most it has to be a sideline with the money obtained from the long hours at their pc, merely buying a few luxuries they would not otherwise be able to afford.
