Discussion Eleven: Walkthrough Hosting
Posted by redink1 on Wednesday June 26th, at 06:23 PM
Since Kyle isn't around as much as he used to be, I've decided to create a discussion for the heck of it.

There has been a few debates on the board about DethLord's Walkthrough Mirror, and (maybe) this discussion will get down to the bottom of it. Read the comments for more.

DethLord's view: The Dink Smallwood Solutions doesn't update often, and is also down a lot. Hence, a mirror seemed to be a good idea, and nobody has objected except Beuc and Dukie. Plus, DethLord has uploaded walkthroughs Dukie hasn't had the time to upload, which has helped numerous Dinkers get through D-Mods they wouldn't be able to otherwise.

Dukie and Beuc's view: DethLord didn't ask when he took all of the walkthroughs from The Dink Smallwood Solutions. DethLord posts about 'exclusive' walkthroughs, showing he is a competing site and not a friendly mirror. DethLord's Mirror is a shameless rip of The Dink Smallwood Solutions, in an attempt to get more hits and kudos.

Of course, I have most likely horribly mangled the respective views, but hopefully I understand most of it. Each side write rather long messages in this thread, before WC essentially killed it.

So, what is the solution? Should DethLord continue hosting all of the walkthroughs on his mirror, despite objections? Should he take them down and do something else?
