Huh? so I can only download something once?

"So in my mind, if we are going to require you to login to download or post it isn't that far of a stretch to read."
IMO, its a huge step. Reading is passive.

Its like putting a sponge and a tap in the same category, even though they are opposite...

"Also, can someone explain to me the problem with logging in?"
Apart from the annoyance factor (which you are aware of allready), ls.net is the only ls site that cant remember me :'( even custo remembers me... custo!!!

I dont know exactly how many people dont bother getting into LS because there is a login here, but there must be a few.
What if one of those few was meant to be the greatest LS themer ever?
What if one of those few was another Andymon!?

I know what your gonna say: "If s/he has trouble with a login, LS isnt for them"
and I totally disagree. I am sorry, but thats what customizing is all about:
Thinking something is shit, and modding it better.

But when the shitness is totally out of your influence, its enraging, and then you just leave it be. You live with it, the best you can, and for some (like the other Andymon that might have existed) that might not be good enough.

So off to some other shell site for her/him!!!

And even if they can live with it, they might learn to leave things that are too hard to mod, which just kills creativity and custo mind states.


But I am not saying you are bad for not changing it Dev (or any other admin reading), I mean, who gets a free host so good? Rarely ever, so you should bow to their whim whenever they demand it ;)

I am just glad their whim isnt to have porn banners!!!
