As admin clearly stated in the first post of this thread, Austech has not been banned from AdSense, its account has been suspended.
Now I understand nothing at all. Just did a with the result "Not Banned from Google AdSense!"
???? Who has deleted link to screenshot image I originally inserted here - Why ????
AFAIK, it's a Google Adsense policy violation to create a new AdSense account if your old account has been disabled. Google no longer wants to do business with you.

Come on guys. Stop your bickering.
So basically 20 bucks will do it for a year? Lets say half of all members were to elevate to premium. What would the web site costs, be divided by the half of all members? Still 20 bucks? Cause it's fair to say not all will/can donate.
Oh and add in some VB and vegemite shipped to "Under the Boardwalk" AC, NJ, USA to the cost for my account!

Google should spend more time setting up strict rules for themselves and cleaning their OWN house!

Thats not going to happen. Regardless, even if it was, I would not be giving every Premium Member 12 months notice or paying them pro rata refunds for what is supposed to be site support.
No its not.
Why should you expect me to be prosecuted for others or your content ?
Its not a matter of passion, its the fact that if I dont keep contributing no one else does. As simple as that. And I dont have a passion for being sued and losing my home. Would you ?Maybe the passion for running the site has been lost and therefor the interest in keeping it running like in the past?
I am not saying I am Austech, but I will state the facts. I am the largest site contributor. Up until 18 months ago , the most days I have had off site was 3. So basically, I havent had a holiday for 17 years apart from a couple of weekends away in the early 2000's which still required me to be online daily and even had a member ring me about getting an infraction at 1 am. Not what I would call peaceful.
18 months ago I decided I needed a break and didnt come on here for 4 weeks. One member (bagman) sent me a PM to ask if I was ok, other than that, no one else noticed. That one month of me not being here resulted in a permanent 15% drop in traffic.
The more I dont come here and dont post, the more Austech loses ground. Again, I am not claiming I am the messiah, I am stating facts. I have asked on numerous occasions for people to start contributing, apart from a handfull of people it falls on deaf ears.
Austech will still be here, but whether its worth being here is entirely up to the membership. If people want to come here, leach what they want and not contribute either financially as a PM or actively as a posting member then you can expect to go the way of the Dodo. But again, I tell you all this every 6 months dont I ? And people dont listen.
As I have been doing for the last 6 months, I contribute to the site when I feel like it. There wont be any guilt from me for not being here posting every day. Thats not my job, its the memberships. Nor is it my job to wear the legal liability by allowing members to excessively push past legal limits.
As I said earlier, the current rules will stay exactly the same until such time that I decide to vary them. And as I also mentioned, they wont be changed until a lot of thought goes in to changing them to ensure I dont have to put up constant legal liability. Those that now think we can turn the site in to Pirate Bay are absolutely dreaming.
Thank you for spelling it out, Admin, problem is, some people can't spell.......
I'd been wondering how DJ Matts new job at Google was going.....
Pirate bay is the extreme opposite. There needs to be a middle ground and of course files hosted by upload companies.

A page full of pirate software links v's a page full of pirated software links ?
Its a bit like calling one half a dozen and the other six. The end result is the exact same. Pig on a lipstick is still of course, a pig.
As I mentioned earlier if someone wants to take full legal liability for the site by providing 100 points of ID (and signing a notice accepting legal liability) so I can refer any company making a legal claim directly to you, please be my guest. But be aware you may be sued of course.
How about you leroy ?
"Pig on a lipstick is still of course, a pig."
But a prettier pig depending on how many cans of VB and whether there's two or four legs!
