Filejoker is only required on the parts of the board that align with the moral limitations they have(which is usually dictated by credit card companies or other payments methods stuff if you want them to work with you) so that shouldn't be an issue here.

The mods here work for free and there's a lot of work to be done to prevent the board from having crap or badly sorted content (since many of the heavy posters don't properly look at what they upload) so there's a lot of passion going into it. It wouldn't cost that much if it was a low traffic website but the traffic is quite high and also requires multiple servers just to be able to run decently well so that cost quite a bit of money which is why a sponsor becomes necessary.

While akiba certainly isn't perfect, it's doing the best it can with the resources it has and has been for a very long time. Competent unpaid labor is hard to find, especially over such a long life.

If you have no use for the remaining content or don't like the site for one reason or another, you're free to leave, nobody is being forced to do anything they don't want.

Seems like a chicken and egg situation, the only reason the traffic could possibly be high must be because people are posting filejoker download links, if those links weren't posted there would barely be any traffic at all, since from what I can tell that's pretty much the only activity going on here these days.

Direct download hosts are what's most popular right now(and for a while before) so it would be a big portion of the traffic, but there's also many other section of the website that are still fairly active. Before direct downloads it was torrents and even p2p stuff would get posted since having an index to make things easier to find is always useful. A big portion of the traffic is also all the pictures that are hosted on the site itself so they don't break after a few years like it'll happen with most external image hosts(although some of the forum updates did break them at some point).

The longer a website is alive and has content people want, the more its population will grow and the more expensive the cost to have it run at an acceptable speed for most will become. There's certainly ways to make the cost cheaper but the experience on the site wouldn't be as good as it is now.

There's advantages and disadvantage of having a sponsor like this but overall, it makes the site better for most people and having a reliable long term way of paying for all of the cost is one less thing the owner has to worry about and their limited time can be spent on other matters.

With the removal of the junior idol section there is no reason for me to use this board. Also allowing a company like filejoker to sponsor this site is such a joke. It doesn't allow content that is morally objectionable to them but is not illegal. Do i need to spell out what this sort of censorship leads to. This is the same reason i do not use paypal, they have a clause that says we can close and confiscate all of your money if we find your business to be offensive ( not illegal ) . The have done this to thousands of people.

Anyone who wants to run a site like this should do it out of passion. It does not cost much at all these days to host a site like this so the whoever is running this site is trying to make a profit on pirated content. The hypocrisy ...

This place just made my top 5 list of sites to fuck with.

And your servers are hosted in the netherlands - a place where you can be smoking a joint, drinking a beer, talking to a cop, and picking out a prostitute that you want to have sex with. All at the same time!

I have had to stop you from trying to fuck with us, but I have let others see what you have to say, and your anger should be aimed elsewhere, like politicians

your other point about picture host
most picture hosts go down after a short while, hence there are many gaps on posts

SamKook has summed it up excellently

That is only true in Amsterdam.

From this moment, we provide much more download traffic for our premium users: 60 Gb per 5 consecutive days for standard premium and 300 Gb per 5 consecutive days for VIP premium! It means that our customers get much more traffic compared to competition. Enjoy!

I don't want to be mean but who do you consider to be your competition? I'm not aware of any other filehoster that offer less than 60GB for 5 days and only one that offers less than 300GB for five days so I'm curious to know why you claim it's higher than the competition.

a little consideration for free users? some of us can't pay monthly and let's be honest, the free downloads are just absurd. early 90's speed, lots of hours between downloads and the constant "session expired" thing which you have to wait the file download time estimate plus the waiting time between downloads.

I have tried 4 different credit cards in 2 different paygates 2 days in a row and every transaction declined. I never have a card decline EVER except for this humiliating website. I emailed them and of course got no response. Hey Filejoke, do you wnt to do business with me or not?
