Hello Bww2-ers! I have come once again to make a very important announcement!!!


     Recently it has come to my attention that members have been using
websites such as linkbucks as a medium to host their files. If the member uses
such websites, the member who posted the links makes a profit. Although, the
nature of our board is in terms illegal...making a profit off from our boards will
not be tolerated!

     The purpose of Bww2 is not to make a profit, but for members of Bww2
to discover the wonderful culture and music of the far eastern countries. So,
please help Bww2 by removing all links with the nature to make a profit.
Anyone failing to comply with this will risk of having their accounts
suspended indefinitely!!!



                                                                                                    - Bww2 Staff

Never heard of this site before ..
I hope those who does, will stop doing it.

This forum is wonderful and it's really DOES make us discover the wonderful culture and music of East Asia.

Is there any site to be aware of. I usually and only use mediafire. I used to use zshare.. I think it's alright using those two, right?

If you click a download link & it transfers you to a site with a URL containing the word linkbucks and asks you to wait while it transfers you to the download, you'll know it will allow the uploader to profit

Please report such posts (lower right hand corner of the post) and put "using linkbucks" or something like that as the reason for report.

Thanks for your cooperation!

thank you so much for addressing this issue..

I've been really annoyed whenever i click on a link and it takes me to linkbuck..
it truely is unfair... making profit off something that, most of the time, comes from somebody else's rip.

^ya i agree, and it's also stated in the forum rules that it's not allowed. Those "linkbucks" websites could be dangerous too by leading to some malware.

^No. The individual users that use linkbucks get the money for each time someone clicks or downloads using their link. NOT the site

I thought something was fishy when I noticed some of those linkbucks things popping up. -_-

Quit trying to make a profit off something you've probably illegally downloaded yourself. Just share the love of Asian music and help spread it to the rest of the world. =)

I never knew that linkbucks actually made a profit :T
Is it the same with sharebee?

No Sharebee is not of that nature. It's just a file distributer and allows you to upload to "sharebee" but then it distributes it to other upload sites like Megaupload, Bodango, ZShare, etc.

Similar sites include PaidPaste & sites like these
However I've really only seen linkbucks

Have never know that such websites exist, hopefully we can stop this trend.
Why do we have to pay to the uploader profits for their uploads, I think most of you will agree to pay the profits to the actual artists as it is their hard work.

Mediafire is allowed. It just depends on what the uploader prefers.

Hopefully by now, all the links like that are down.
