Hey db0, I think this is a great idea. But maybe give them a bit more time to grow. Like instead of 1 week, maybe allow 1 month from creation date. If there are no posts/users for the last 2-3 months than give them warning and if nothing changes remove it. Also having a a list of purged communities and reason why is good. This will give others a chance to see what is going on and why. And maybe eliminate clones.

When there are thousands of bots, packs and users I think its widely used ;)

Yeah, you’ll be suprised on how many people don’t know about this. Let’s hope this information gets more attention. And you haven’t used irc for 20 years check out some xdcc channels they are very active.

Especially when there are thousands of people using same vpn and shared ip. Plausible deniability sky rockets 1,000%+ This is why it is a good idea to use well established vpn with many users than hosting your own vpn on own server.

This is fictional of course, but you’ll be suprised on how accurate this is ^_^

IRC/XDCC/FTP was never old, it was always relavent to those who always used it. This options is as good and/or better than torrents/usenet. But whatever you choose chances are you will find what you are looking for.
