Well you are correct about traffic. But also wrong about it. Having leeches traffic come in is good and all for profits. But when your system bans majority of them traffic then slows down. This site gets a crap ton of new users expecting free shot. Thus posting constant amount of posts just to reach what they need and grab what they need. Then they leave and dont sign back in until the next leak they want. That doesnt do anything for your profits. Its not only about the number of users but also the number of active users.

If they want revenue they can add ads and have a new user group to pay a fee to remove the adds for that group.

A owner must also consider the seriousness of the site as well. If you have a site filled with leeches the site wont be taken seriously or mature. It will be forever known as a site that supports warez. Im not saying having a leak section is a bad idea no not at all.

What is a bad idea is having the leak section public. As Im sure thats what you are here for am I wrong?
