We have *Temporarily* Suspended New Postings of Library Materials

[JoeDOM_Admin]

Dear Members,

We have been forced to suspend the New Posting of Library Materials indefinitely, until our moderation staff rearranges in order to provide a better and more timely verification of materials shared.

Do you know, just aproximately, how long until you reopen new submissions on the Library? I also do have 35gb of really rare videos already uploaded and waiting to share.
Is there anyway i or other members can help?
(If there is, just ask, after uploading 35gb to mediafire im capable of doing anything LOL )

Problem is that videos are hard to manage Gbs and Gbs of files.
Fortunately we have got a rapidshare premium account now and have to fear less for "missing dead links"

The bad news is that we are in a crucial decision as to accepting videos in exchange of wealthpoints or doing videos for videos exchanges only.
Videos are easy to copy, just use a software and it is already copied.
Not so easy with software and some indicators; it is a different story. They require a cracker to take a look into it. Some even pay for the cracker. Do the reverse job, then we need to test it. Developers are finding ways to screw reversing jobs by hiding deactivation codes like booby traps. All this overhead has a cost. So no video can compare with a well reversed software. This is why we are evaluating the reopen of the videos section under new rules of videos-for-videos swaps only.

I understand. I belive the main problem is that a lot of the forum members may not be able to earn may wealthpoints by contributing only software/indicators, and that would kinda reduce the activity on the forum.
Just think it this way, suppose each day there is 2 new releases in the trading scene, and there are 100 members in the forum, im quite sure that most of the releases would come from 5-10 members that either have good reversing skills, or buy the softs from one of the many arab forums. So what happens with the other 90 members that are not able to contribute easily?
I myself manage to reverse some softs pretty well, and know my way arount to get most softs, but i know a lot of the users of the forum (from what i've seen) earn most of their points by ebooks, videos, or other kinds of contributions.
Obviously, not every video or ebook deserves wealthpoints, just rare items, things you cannot find in avaxhome or other of the known ebooks sites.

Still, you might consider selling wealthpoints for donations in order to pay the premium rapidshare account. I belive a lot of the users that cant contribute actively with softs, might want to make donations to support the website and the work you and the others moderators do.

Just my 2c.

Good points you have.
What I really need is somebody to help me with testing softwares and submissions.

It is also true that I seem to be deviating from the real intention of providing an equal playground for members to contribute.
My reasoning and judgemente lately has been hamperd by too much work and testing mental burnout, because some members submit their stuff and expect me to put up all the descriptions and find out what they have submitted. Some do not even know what they have submitted in the first place I have to spend my precious testing time to ask them and wait for their replies.
That is why I have not taken the decision about what to do with Videos, seminars and ebooks yet.
I have hired testers in the past but none we reliable and willing to commit to their jobs.
I commit to this and try to process a contribution in less than 1 day most of the time.

All this happens when I have not even marketed this forum to its full extent as I planned because with the current submission inflow, I barely have time to stand from my seat in front of the computer. Imagine now if I start to promote friendlytraders.com using feeder sites and blogs as I planned to do ? ? There will be like 10-15 submissions per day and that is something I won't be able to withstand working solo.
