"I really didn't think we were supposed to be posting pictures of torrent sites/links (which is the same as telling someone where to get the leaked build, as it clearly shows the site's name and url).. I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes here.. I must have misread the rules."
Quite correct radenight. I have been bemused on other sites, as well as this one, where links to downloads cannot be published, but obviously illegal downloads are openly discussed, with pictures. As you say, it comes to the same end!
I remember once, maybe a little as a year ago, Neowin used to advertise something to the effect that the site was approved, or recognised, by Microsoft. (I think it was Neowin) I notice that, of late, that statement does not appear on their pages. Maybe for the same reasons as above?
When I joined this site, at its inaugration, there was the similar prospect very much to the front. I don't know, if any, perks we would have got from such recognition, but it certainly would have looked good.
I feel we have drifted far from that status now.
