Like many people, I have used this new website a lot over the last year. However, I also felt they were rather pretentious in suggesting to uploaders that files should be considered exclusive to them.
It was as if they were deliberately saying “up yours” to legacy sites, not even attempting to work with those sites, but rather trying to eliminate or usurp them.
Perhaps then it is time for people who have been around this community for a very long time, to reconsider their choices when they are creating and uploading files for the community.
I am not saying that files should not be sent to this new site. Rather I am saying that files should be uploaded to several different sites, especially those legacy websites that have supported and encouraged our hobby for decades.
Yes, I know these older sites may not have the modern look or feel, but they have stood the test of time and have literally supported this hobby and kept it going. In many ways we are standing on the shoulders of the work done by these legacy websites. And it would only be appropriate for uploaders of files to diversify their storage options by also supporting these legacy sites.
