In dutch we got a name for it: Hypocriet

I"ll keep my mouth shut, but as a last note: if no one put posts here, you"d be a very very quiet organised strict forum idd

It may be a *forum* but it's not *your* forum and is subject to *rules* as other forums are, but not your *idea* of what those rules should be.

This is a *PC Games Backup Forum* not Technical Support. We all know people with pirated games come here looking for cracks, Technical Support and such, we just don't know who they are unless they are really stupid and say so or make it obvious!

The primary goal is to help *legitimate* purchasers make backups of their games, and as such we rely on people being honest enough to buy their games. Even then, we can't be responsible for peoples actions if they choose to pirate games, just like a Gun Store can't be held responsible if you buy a Gun that's used for criminal purposes, or a Car Dealer for selling a car used for criminal activities. Pardon the pun, but nobody is putting a gun to your head and making you come here, you use or abuse the information in this forum as your conscience sees fit!

But to come here and start *telling us* what we are supposed to do won't be tolerated by the moderators just because *you* don't happen to agree with their policies, so please, drop the attitude!

@G-man: Please, show me the part in the original post that has anything related to "backing up original PC games and making these backups work", the gist of what this forum and the GCW site is about. If you can't - and you definitely can't as this posts was about problems with an original game, not a backup! -, there's nothing for you to complain about this particular thread.

As for the forum rules and moderator attitude in general on this forum, 1) both are strict to hush away (read: ban) idiots who come here and (try to) discuss their non-working warez copies and 2) it's none of your business anyway. (If someone downloads games, that's "fine", just don't waste anyone's time with making it work. If you're so smart that you can download games, also be smart enough to make them work. Otherwise buy the original and complain at the publisher - NOT HERE! - if you have problems using it.) Again, if you don't like the forum rules, please. leave. (Or create your own forum where everything - including warez - can be discussed so that noone will have the right to call your forum "a bunch of hypocrites" or similar. Rest assured that warez-user idiots will suffocate your forum long before it is closed down because of a game publisher filing an official complaint at your ISP... )

In short, you don't need to like the forum rules; you "only" have to follow them. If you can't, that's your problem, not the forum's. (Unless you're a really helpful and intelligent person, perhaps, author of many no-CD patches. Then the forum would lose a lot by letting you leave. However, I can't decide from only a dozen posts of yours...)

As for a "very very quiet organised strict forum", yes, I would definitely like that. I would prefer (to be able) to read a few useful and interesting posts a week rather than a dozen senseless posts from idiots with dyslexia (and sometimes dysgraphia, too) every day...
