Denied Secondary Download links

After having an issue with a download I unlocked only to find the link had become dead I was thinking why dont you guys have secondary links for this situation. or even keep an archive of all files somewhere so If somebody does come across a dead link after using credits to open it, they can be given the file(s) they were looking for. Its not like a lot of the downloads are huge in size so wouldn't take up massive amounts of space. Its just a lot of these file share places kill links or drop them if they think it violates some kind or rule/law etc.

Not exactly the biggest issue, however it can be annoying as a member to use credits to only find was a waste of credits & time. I understand completely this was not the fault of staff or this site. The link was for an external source, in there lies the problem. You guys dont have any kind of control over that.

Also if something becomes unavailable do you guys move it to an archive area or even delete it, so people dont stumble upon the same problem?


thanks for your time.


p.s. I did post a question in ask the staff section about what happens about credits used, but this is an actual suggestion now. before somebody thinks double posting.

If you find a link that is dead then there is a button to report dead links. This helps staff keep track of whats still working and whats not.. They do take action accordingly when this happens. It wouldnt be a bad idea to have a download page that people upload their resources to the site so these things dont become dead but then Aoki would have to monitor it and it would be hard on staff to keep all the illegal stuff off.. If NulledBB got caught hosting illegal stuff Authority could shut this whole place down.

So the solution is just report all the dead links you find.. Ill go ahead and send you 8 credits for what you lost.. I think I can spare that to you.

While it's a good idea on paper, I'd imagine that there'd be legal implications (or just obstacles in general) for Aoki to host some of the stuff that's posted here on NulledBB. For example, a leak that's often posted here is the VCMod (?) for Gmod. The creator of that mod is also a member of this website. I don't think that he'd be very keen to see a leak of his own work hosted by NulledBB.
I don't really think Aoki would want to host all of those files on NulledBB anyway, regardless of how big the files were.

We don't host or control any of the content shared on these forums. All download links are hosted on third-party websites and shared here. We will not host any files on our own network as what Sui said there is legal implications to that. As a result, the best thing to do is report the link down, see your Ask Staff thread, and we'll close it as soon as possible. This suggestion is denied on the basis of we will never host the files.
