I hope what this post really means is not a policy change, but more a reminder not to carry things too far, since at some point the admins might be forced to step in to protect the site - i don't think the site can openly support pirating content, but i also think as long as this isn't getting completely out of hand, there is no need to enforce anything.

For me, this site has always been about sharing stuff for free. The heart of this site are the content creators who create their stuff for free, and Onix is one of the most active creators we have. These artists also inspire other guro fans to try to produce some stuff themselves, that's what's keeping this community alive. Those content creators who are taking money are not really making content for "us", they are making content for the small subset of guro fans who are willing to pay them. I don't really see a reason for me to protect their interests.

I will never pay any money for guro content. It's not really about the money, it's more about the loss of anonymity - money always leaves a trail, so it's simply not an option. And it's also about principles at this point. I'm interested in a community where everybody shares their stuff for free, and that's not just a wild idea, this is how this community has worked for a long time. If artists stop posting on this site for free so they can make money with their art on other sites instead, it's their decision and i can't stop them, but i definitely don't have a reason to help them with that either.
