IRC is not necessarily as safe as you might think either. I left IRC many years ago when ircd back doors patches were being implemented that could also intercept encrypted chat and secured rooms for monitoring bye many of the IRC servers and networks.
Just beware and be secure and safe period.

anyone that's pre irc meaning filetopia and such likes got pushed into irc seen thing grow then from there it was all about getting files out fast hosting files on unknown or and unwilling hosts knows that irc became a file sharing playground and speaking from personal experience theres so many holes/loops and points of entery you would not be using irc if you were aware of it all and bottom line icefilms.info is what should be pushed out not being placed in the same category as the other file sharing places as that's not what this place is.

If you were SOOO busy then you shouldnt have time to gripe...if you have time to gripe you can answer a question or refuse to answer said question in the same amount of text. Caan you even help being trolls now? Do you even see it happening?

The real reason they are down is because the North Korean's made good on their threat regarding the movie "The Interview". It has begun! Because Icefilms is probably the only way we will get to see the movie.

Are you seriously one of the 2% of internet users not using adblock? You really think the admins here are getting fat off advertising dollars and donations? I don't mean to sound unkind, however, nobody should be told how to run their business, and advertising competitors has always been banned here. It's not rocket science, you start a site, you post the rules. People follow them. That's it. It's not a democratic place. Nobody gets a vote.
Of course I'm the kind of vindictive asshole who would rather just shutter the site entirely if the vocal minority didn't shut it's traphole about the rules they agreed to by using the site. Constructive criticism, is ok, but if it's rejected, the argument is over. If I wanted yellow bananas surrounding the ICE logo because they are an endangered fruit, and we all need to start supporting the humble banana, but they told me to fuck off, that'd be the end of it. Would I dig a thread that links to all known streaming media sites and ranks them? Hells yeah. I gotta respect the rules though, if they don't want my suggestion, then hell, fine. If you've been banned, make a new account.
The downside to having an index of sites, is it makes it easy for everyone to find those sites, like law enforcement, and assholes. I'd rather search for a week or two for an underground site after a closure, than having multiple sites shuttered simultaneously.
The stream of people using these services and expecting a Netflix experience is ridiculous, ICE is BADASS, only NinjaVideo was as nice. Ice is more than either of the options you've presented. It's like someone looking at a rainbow and saying, "so is it black or white?"
To me, ICE is a service, containing a number of communities, from filesharers to poets. What it is to you? Only you can answer that.

I dont use adblock specifically for that reason - I want to generate revenue for ICEFILMS - I even click the ads when I visit I feel you, for real though. Their site, they make the rules. But the issue at hand is a greater one. Its not just about the ICEFILMS moderators getting tired for trolls and putting up strict rules to stop them. Do they have the right to do so? Of course they do. But there is something bigger going on- The online filesharing community is under attack by mainstream media and most of the worlds governments. Huge corporations push people around like they were nothing. But these corporations and the governments that protect them dont just own movies and music. New laws have been passed to copyright protect plants and animals (GMOs), large pharma companies have bought out the rights to important life saving medicines (Ebola cure, HIV treatments) only to later forbid their manufacture (symptom based treatment is more profitable than curing sicknesses). But people are rising up. There are some who stand up for the rights of the individuals The online filesharing community is on the front lines of this battle. We are an international community of people that believe in FREEDOM and individual rights. Freedom of expression, freedom of information, freedom of distribution. If we dont learn to stick together then there is no way that we can ever beat big corps or governments, and maintain the relative freedom that we have fought for. It is the epitome of irony that ICEFILMS, a website that was built by the online file sharing commnuity, and is used by the same community of users, would BAN people for voicing their complaints, or even worse, for freely distributing information (competitors links as they call it). Where does this hatred of (competing sites) come from? The idea of competition itself is a misnomer - how can Pirate Bay be competition if they too are freely sharing information and giving the online community a place to voice their opinions, if they too are battling it out against the man. Do you know what came out about MEGAUPLOADS? They weren't busted by the feds - they were given up by an insider - one of the vice presidents (if I remember correctly) who gave the FBI the keys to the kingdom, and sold everyone else out. Is that the future that we want for ICEFILMS? A house divided cannot stand man. If you dont stand for something you will fall for anything. So here I am posting about freedom of information and free speech. BAN me if you will.

We do not allow other site posting because we cannot vouch for their pedigree. And a lot of them are mutts. Not all but some of them.

I feel you there. It has taken a while to learn to navigate the many file sharing sites to find the good ones - and believe me - I am a big fan of ICEFILMS - most of the links work and are clean - but to continue to use your analogy - every dog deserves his day. Other site can be and are usefull (especially in moments like this when ICE is down!)
There are movies that cannot be found on ICEfilms - is it so wrong to link to them in the forums? The users are smart enough to know that they may not be the same quality.
I still feel that the online filesharing community needs to stick together and resist the proprietary way of thinking about information.
PS Be careful, trust no one. You may have several years working with ICE - but that makes you a bigger target for 'the man'

I think I did my best to describe my problem. Youre more than welcome to tear my post to shreds if you want, or level whatever criticism my way that you desire, but just telling me to shut up doesnt add anything to the conversation
