I can understand EoF's point. Remember that what Abandonia does is technically illegal in most countries. People tolerate (and encourage) it because we are here to preserve an important part of gaming history that would otherwise be lost. Nobody that has Abandonia's best interest at heart wants this site to be a place for warez pirates to come to share ideas about illegal cracking and places to look for pirated software. We have to be careful. Links or not, we need to discourage the discussion or we will see more new users (who aren't familiar with our charter) wanting to stretch the limits of what is acceptable. I didn't read the chat archive so I don't know what particulars are involved but this is something that we need to remind ourselves of occasionally.
Just my two cents.
