Yup. You read it right. No more. We're done. Finished. Finale. ZuneBoards will no longer support warez. What is warez, you ask? Well you won't miss it then. It's become a blemish on our site and enough's enough. We apologize for any inconvenience, but not really. If you leeched here (came only for the downloads) and really couldn't care less about the community, well good riddance. We are not a download site, and we will no longer support illegal content. On top of that, we will actively expel anyone bringing it here.

We're taking a different route in 2008. You're all welcome to come aboard. Look for a new zB image to emerge. We'll still have hacks, mods, help, news, and the dynamic community people are already discovering. Above all, we're still about the Zune; nothing's changed about that.

So what will you do now? Well, that's really up to you. This is a forum - not a download site. Look up forums in the dictionary and I'm sure you won't find any mention of the word 'warez'. What you will find is 'discussion' - and that's what we've always been about. It's time to get back to the social; get back to why we're all here.

So, cue the flamers - I'm sure there'll be a few, but more importantly - cue the social!

PORN?!? are you freaking serious. Hey, I enjoy porn, but porn HERE??.. I couldn't believe it and was thinking of writing... but guess no need anymore. Good job for removing all that crap and warez.

Federal111   | 24.46.97.xxx | 2007-12-21 02:53:27 I try not to be a leach but the movie dl section was one of the things I loved about this site and zune, good job for ruining it Reply | Quote 0   1

trs21219   | 96.235.31.xxx | 2007-12-21 03:14:14 this is actually good in my mind because if someone reports that we have movies or ripped content (illegal) on this site to the host, they can SHUT IT DOWN if they want to...plus they can legally press charges on whoever pays for the hosting account...so this is a plus to insure that this site will remain functioning Reply | Quote 0   0

trs21219   | 96.235.31.xxx | 2007-12-21 03:34:20 there are plenty of warez sites out there for content *cough* warez-bb.org *cough* so we dont need it here Reply | Quote 0   0

kurukato   | 76.111.51.xxx | 2007-12-21 03:36:44 yeah, I loved the movies, but whatever keeps the site running is good.( dammit i will miss the Music downloads though.) Reply | Quote 0   0

JawaKing   | 98.202.106.xxx | 2007-12-21 03:40:49 That's all right, I didn't join this site for the downloads anyway. That will take care of those annoying leachers. Reply | Quote 0   0

Guest User   | 71.205.169.xxx | 2007-12-21 04:08:20 All hail the new zuneboards... now with pop up adds instead of all that annoying warez [smiley=laugh] Reply | Quote 0   0

jeff   | 67.183.82.xxx | 2007-12-21 04:39:28 i'll be honest, i loved the movies, hell its the only way i was able to get video on my zune. but if you guys running the site were getting threats then do what you got to do. Reply | Quote 0   0

Dragod   | 71.98.53.xxx | 2007-12-21 04:51:10 This was a decision between most of the highest ranking staff on ZuneBoards, and we all agreed that this change was for the better. Though we hope you'll stay and be apart of the community, we realize that many people stayed just for these downloads and it's best for everyone if those people move on. ZuneBoards will no longer be affiliated with any sort of illegal material on the internet, and we will start focusing on building a community that is dedicated to improving the experience of Zune users everywhere. We hope you stay, but it is entirely your decision to stop being apart of the forum that many of us have come to love. On behalf of all of the staff, we hope everyone enjoys the new and improved ZuneBoards.com Reply | Quote 0   0

Guest User   | 71.56.226.xxx | 2007-12-21 05:22:36 hmm that sucks i always thought the whole thing about the social was meant to be so you can share videos ,movies and other content. know that zuneboards has deleted this aspect i wonder if they are still part of the social, i mean sure zb has great forums and HAX ,but i always recommended people to this website because of the freedom of the people to share with each other. know i just dont see anywhere to direct people. know when they ask me, "he where did you get all those great movies for your zune". what should i say know zb.com oohh wait they dont help with content anymore, better just surf the internet till you find something that you might be able to download and convert for your zune GOOD LUCK!!! I AM GOING TO MISS DOWNLOADS ; ) Reply | Quote 0   0

wetworker   | 74.12.144.xxx | 2007-12-21 05:34:12 I support the move, at the end of the day the site has to pay for itself, and that won’t happen if Zb gets a bad reputation for having the things mentioned, sponsors will go elsewhere. ….2008 zuneboards will be killer! Reply | Quote 0   0

dark whole   | 65.30.60.xxx | 2007-12-21 12:25:20 If people(Greenops, Dragod, woot etc) are still willing to upload, just not here, they could upload and put it on warez-bb Reply | Quote 0   0

Guest User   | 71.103.239.xxx | 2007-12-21 13:22:17 This is hilarious, you people actually go here to get your movies/music? USENET/NEWSGROUP learn about it. Oldest and best place to get EVERYTHING. Existed before there was an internet.. before there was a www. Reply | Quote 0   0

PickleMan   | 66.227.215.xxx | 2007-12-21 14:53:21 Good riddance no more crap warez!! But now we have the very annoying pop-ups which is just as bad as the warez junk. IMHO Reply | Quote 0   0

Guest User   | 69.215.153.xxx | 2007-12-21 14:53:47 all I have to say is its been a nice run and I will no longer be coming to this site ever again...I love the other stuff like the news and the community but what made this site what it is today is the downloads.....ZB first you change the content of the background of your site and now this ...ZB you are slowly killing this great site....goodbye.

Guest User   | 216.188.212.xxx | 2007-12-21 15:06:34 so does anyone know any good places to get zune ready content? this is the only place I came.. [smiley=sad] Reply | Quote 0   0

Guest User   | 64.9.85.xxx | 2007-12-21 15:14:21 Are you people serious? You're actually pissed off that illegal content is no longer available? Do you truly believe that illegally swapping movies is what it means to be "part of the Social"? Seriously? You're kidding, right? Because NOBODY COULD BE THAT DAMNED STUPID! Reply | Quote 0   0

Guest User     | 72.79.177.xxx | 2007-12-21 16:24:15 OK LATER, The Site pretty much Sucks, The downloads were the only thing you had going. So now it's just another Wack Site. GOOD JOB Kissing @$$!!! So now your on Microsofts D***!!! Reply | Quote 0   0

Guest User(2)   | 213.199.128.xxx | 2007-12-21 16:59:50 I nevered noticed any media files(illegal or otherwise) I only come here for mods, hacks, etc. so will THEY still be available to download for Zune owners without having to signin/up ? Reply | Quote 0   0

Razor70   | 12.207.186.xxx | 2007-12-21 17:19:52 I can totally understand why the site has decided to do this, and I think it really is for the best. For those people who only came here to download items illegally good riddance. Zune Boards is much more than just that, and I for one will keep coming here and posting and having fun. Zune Boards is a family, and those that stay show that they are a real part of that family. Reply | Quote 0   0

btonetbone     | 64.16.41.xxx | 2007-12-21 17:34:23 @ Guest User/Comment 19 and all other whiners: Wow. There is a difference between sharing/social and theft. Learn and understand it or you will come in to some huge legal issues one day. Feel free to rip your own DVDs, buy content online or join the marketplace. There is a better selection that way anyhow. Reply | Quote 0   0

Symion   | 24.231.57.xxx | 2007-12-21 22:26:24 @Btonetbone There is a far greater difference between theft (Where at the end of the day the owner no longer has their property) and so-called 'piracy' (Where the second party has in their possession a copy of said property without impuning upon the fidelity of the original) And to claim that there's somehow a "better selection" when there are usergroups and IRC kabals out there that swap entire decades of Billboard Classics, in conjunction with other music sharing sites out there for purposes of discovering new tracks (What I came here for), is for lack of a better term: moronic Reply | Quote 0   0

Log aNARCHY   | 74.184.31.xxx | 2007-12-22 01:15:14 I knew it was gonna happen eventually. Whatever, it's not that bad. Now ZuneBoards won't have to be shut down, at least.[smiley=happy] But admins, you may want to edit the description located on the homepage of the site (our dedicated members upload movies and music)[smiley=wink] Reply | Quote 0   0

Guest User   | 69.215.153.xxx | 2007-12-22 04:46:44 well this site is going to suck now. the only reason why this site was ranked #1 was because of the downloads but now its just like any other zune sites....I guess I am going to have to leave this site for good now...I loved the community but the only reaosn I wass committed here was because fo the option to download but now thats gone and now this site sucks, first you changed the content of the site and now this...ZB is killing itself slowly.

I hope I never see you on zB again, I mean, "good job for ruining it" Who do you think you are? It's his site to do whatever he wants with, and if he says no more illegal down or uploads, it's his decision, and was made for a reason. Reply | Quote 0   0

No, the cancer that is killing this site are the illegal downloads. If you think about it, if we flooded this site with warez then sooner or later it's going to be a warez site. So let me clarify this for you,THIS IS A ZUNE SITE, NOT A DOWNLOAD SITE. We don't need all of this movie or music crap. we need more Zune stuff. srsly, guiz. Reply | Quote 0   0

Guest User   | 69.207.90.xxx | 2007-12-23 05:19:09 so basically u got away with it b4 as a tool to make the zune popular and now that its spreading they are removing the "incentive" this site will not be the same without that community. Reply | Quote 0   0

Bmac   | 151.201.157.xxx | 2007-12-23 19:39:39 Yea i'll admit at first i joined to be a leach but then i saw how great this website is and all the cool important stuff they keep me updated with. The movie and music helped me alot because i'm not to sure where to get movies and to convert them its all a big drag i like wen ppl share it is a social thing but keep the site running maybe make a differ site wit that stuff. I'm far to poor to afford music or movies plus all my friends wanted to get a zune wen they saw all the cool movies and music but adios. And yea porn wow that was going way out of line Reply | Quote 0   0
