RapidShare Links Vanish on Blogs, Warez Forums

[raflamo]

Who says piracy doesn?t pay? Try telling that to professional uploaders on warez forums and release blogs who are now boycotting RapidShare en masse. In the aftermath of the TF article which earlier confirmed RS has terminated their entire Rewards program, it is no longer advantageous to upload files to RS. Realistically the decision will indeed have a negative impact on RapidShare?s own revenue take for new subscriptions, not to mention dissuade uploaders from using the service at all

A reader recently posted this on RlsLog.net:

"Let?s teach the greedy losers at Rapidshare an important lesson! No one use Rapidshare or post rapidshare links! Let?s give our hard earned money to any other downloader, even if same cost as rapidshare. They need to be forced out of business for their most recent despicable stunt!" - Source here.

One could easily dismiss the above testimonial to be from an isolated, disgruntled user who feels he?s been wronged by the changes in RapidShare?s policies. The reality is the boycott is very much real. Everywhere you look, new RS links are drying up on just about every popular scene blog and forum. Nobody is posting RS anymore, and rightly so.

For evidence, check out todays release on RlsLog:

it was directed @ n00bs who just reply to increase their post count and to show off that they are "real" uploaders.

I will use rs until my points are gone and then will no longer be able to afford rs. My rs points were always used to extend my account and nothing further. I do however like their newest (lol @ newest) system as it uses a lower amount of points per month instead of the 20+ a day I was going to be using. That I did like out of the whole ordeal. But yes I myself have noticed the boycott because i'm finding it harder and harder everyday to find rs links on rlslog and other similar places to use for rapidleech for uploading. Sucks!

[TLK]

I don't use rs. Not because i need money, but because they take rapids from my acc just because i have some storage which is ridiculous. I had to delete all my files because they stole like 79 rapids for 4 days :/

RS Sucks , but i still upload on it for people who still rely on their premium .. it'll stop soon though

I knew this would come, I bet Rapidshare did to I won't be surprised if there's a new system, more beneficial for uploaders this time though..

[Daniel]

I'm boycotting rapidshare until further..
