Here is what I think...
If you remove the FTP and FTPa pages, you will definatly generate LESS traffic. For a while people, people will still come and you won't see the changes. These people who come, WILL send you messages like "Where did the FTP section go? Where are the gamez!? can you send me an ISO!?".
You can't stop this. SX has already a rep for free Warez and Sega ISO gamez. However if you keep ignoring these letters, SX will slowly change in the minds of these people from a "Warez" haven to a borning place and give up asking.
You can't get the best of two worlds. It dosn't, work because its simply human nature to "want something for nothing", and you will always get people trying to exploit this at the expence of others.
I totaly agree with all the senior members here, when I say all FTP/FTPa Pages should be removed, as well as other pages which only promote Warez and leeching (Like the "Burning CD" section, where all the damn warez people go next after they downloaded a game, bought a 10$ saturn and want to try to run a game with a Par 4-1).
These are the same people who say...
Mod Chip (Its not a damn chip. This is not PSX copy forum! )
"Can a Par 4-1 play copies!?"
"How can I make a boot disk!?"
"Can I dummy a saturn game!?"
"I can't find a rare game, so help me! Its too much money! Can someone CD-R an ISO for me!?"
"I have neo 4 mods, and 100's of CD-R Games for sale! Price goes the the highest bidder!"
I could continue, but you get the idea. Remove all "Piracy" aspects from SX, and keep on moderating and ban people when they "try" to convert it back to pirating by asking dumb ass questions. After your hard stand, people will finaly get the hint, they arn't welcome. Go home!
