Time to end the private server ban

[Sp-24]

Also, this thread is about lifting the ban on private server discussions, which needs to happen considering the official game has been defunct for almost 7 years now...

When someone has to revert to, "Our site, our rules" as the reason for a rule, it means they don't have any other good reasons, and they're not deserving of any sort of authority.

Are you literally incapable of reading the thread before making a ton of idiotic posts in it?

You guys gotta understand. Maybe you weren't here back in the day when there were SEGA reps on these very boards on official and non official accounts. The impact of your reputation as one of the only sites that a near-gone company like SEGA still holds onto is one of PSO-worlds most treasured assets. The very memory of being one of the official sites linked to on SEGAs PSO main website (when it was up) was a huge honor I don't imagine guys like Tomeeboy and the originals would like tarnished. I imagine we still have some pretty high up connections giving us whatever info there is to be had, heck does any other site have better info?!

Let me make it clear so that we don't have to repeat more times:
PSOW has never been against private servers. Look at forum rules #13. So there is no need to lift any ban. We just want your discussions about them free of server names & how-to's, etc.

So, keep those private servers' technical info (names & how-to) off from your discussions here & everyone is cool.

Yes, but there's no good reason to even restrict THAT information any longer...

The arrogance and refusal to adapt to changing circumstances is infuriating.

I understand your point of view, but it seems you're unable to understand ours.

Talk all about private servers all you want, just don't mention their names. People who are somewhat savvy about computer know how to search for all those servers without even asking here. Many already pointed out that those servers have their own forums for such matter. PSOW isn't the right place for it.
