Total Posts: 2486 | As you may have already noticed, we've removed several files from our archives and our whole Operation Systems section. The reason for that was TI not entirely liking those so they took off our link as a cause of that. A link on their site is very important to us as they give our site more traffic and let users without much knowledge of calc related sites an easy access to games.
Here are some explanations as to why several thing were removed:
PimpDaddy - Well, this is obvious why this was removed. We didn't really think its too offensive and we tolerated it, but now it was reported that some people found it offensive and we removed it.
Fake Mem Reset - I didn't find it wrong at all, but TI thinks it promotes cheating. We had to take it off as well for this reason. I don't think it promotes much cheating as such programs were only ones to save my games from teacher's reset.
All OS section - This was technically okay to have but TI wanted to distribute OS's by itself and wanted us to stop distributing them. However since they find it not so legal to distribute OS's and do not keep older versions, I don't know how people would obtain older version if they wish to. I'd suggest they keep a section with old OS versions for those who prefer older versions to newer. I think there's nothing wrong about that, its user's choice afterall since they paid for the calc. Anyway, OS had to be taken off for us to get our link back.
Also, from now on we'll filter our submissions for offensive content and not just add practicly every submission we get. We again apologize for those who miss OS section as we miss it to, but we don't want to be friends with TI and have to keep certain level of control for that. I hope everyone understands.
Thanks.

I'm confused, will we get the link back? |

Total Posts: 2486 | yes, forums are different from file arcihves. we of course still maintain a certain level of control but its totally different from file downloads and things we host. so basically, there's a lot more freedom on forums.

Total Posts: 2486 | Hey B, have you heard anything from TI about putting our link back up? It's been almost two months since they took it off and they promised just two weeks for a review. What's going on man? I certainly hope they didn't forget about us or decided against putting our link back.
Thx

Total Posts: 1005 | This is a perfect example of Corporate America. I, for one, enjoy the entire TI experience, but this is ridiculous. Removing the link because of one or two files and the old OS's? I think a bit extreme. OS's i could understand, but people will write programs at their own discretion (my upcoming Armageddon Must come is a perfect example).
I would urge TI to make good of their promise. |

and actually the OS's were not the reason - they didn't even know about those.

Total Posts: 2486 | Any idea what's going on B, are they STILL reviewing the site? It's been like two+ months since they said that and still nothing. Could you ask them of their progress?

Total Posts: 2486 | Well, since we don't pay them to add our site to their links, they don't have to. They're still doing us a favor and we hope they will eventually put our link back.
