Important notice to all Staff & Members:
With immediate effect, in the best interest of the forum. Oron file hosting service is now banned here for a few reasons.
Forum rule breaches:
1.1 Oron has been investigated for hosting underage material. The posting of such material leaves forums at risk of action being taken against them.
1.2 We have been forced to remove Oron links by the DMCA for copyright infingement.
1.3 As a result of marked file hosting of underage material & copyright infringement, all Internet service providers in the UK & Ireland have now blocked Oron, it is therefore inaccessible to our members from this region.
Forum guidance breaches:
2.1 While it is acknowledged that some good posters have chosen to host files on Oron, at the same time a greater issue has become evident in the recent months. Forums, blogs and sites are suffering from flood posting from 'new' members, who are paid by Oron to post their links.
2.2 Well known, large, forums who have been flooded with Oron posts have also been purchased by the owner of Oron, followed by dramatic rule changes favourable to Oron, including the restriction or banning of other file hosts, and the purging of non-Oron posters.
3.1 The behaviour of Oron posters has led to friction with forums, as other members are finding their threads continually pushed out of sections. Oron links being split into unecessary, small rars to increase downloads & cash points. Oron posters not contributing to the forum community, eg responding to requests, leaving comments on other posts etc. Their single concern would appear to be profit. Such behaviour is contrary, and detrimental, to the spirit of our forum.

Penalties:
1.2 Posts with Oron links will be deleted.
2.2 Repeat posting of Oron links will result in a warning.
3.2 Further posting of Oron links, after a warning, will result in the member being banned & their ISP blocked.
