don't forget Megaupload. that one made even bigger news and caused even more of a commotion when it went down. and I'm sure there are others too. but on the bigger point that you just brought out is that this is far from new. others can call it "whining" if it makes them feel better, but facts are facts. we're just bringing up common sense arguments for diversifying our resources and the inevitable wall you hit when you decide to force a single supplierFileserve :imdead:

God of all the sites they went with Keep2Share. I hope the rest of the JAV community isn't as foolish.

Shit is there at least a discount or Akiba just getting a click thru bonus?
You levy a very serious accusation that Akiba's only motivation for requiring Ryushare DDL's was greed. If their motivation was greed, they would have forbidden posters from using any free DDLs from competing sites, but they didn't. They also could charge for access to this site, which they don't. The Ryushare mandate simplified the process and reduced cost for those of us that aren't looking strictly for handouts, because it ensured that we had access to any DDL at Akiba with only one premium membership. Without this policy, posters would use dozens of different hosts. Thus, convenient downloading would require hundreds of dollars per month in premium membership fees. Also, running this site costs money. If Akiba ended up with a profit after paying their bills, good for them. This is an excellent site considering the content and the costs to members. The fact that Ryushare is gone and files have been lost is unfortunate, but it is not Akiba's fault. Now Akiba has more work to do to restore this site content, which I am certain they will handle, even though they won't get enough thanks. That is my opinion, which is different than yours.

I guess that means that the domain ryushare.com was moved to Russia, not the servers. Means the files will still be lost. Don't know what they mean by "Restoring system.". Maybe they set up everything again (the website itself, but not the content). I assume the Vietnamese administrator didn't ship weekly backups to Russia.
