We still do not know for sure. Some are saying they were secretly a horde of scumbag pedos committing CP sharing, as was happening here on the KoiKatsu Sharing thread. That thread was axed less than 2 days before the F95 Sharing Discord went silent. Others are saying DMCA takedown, due to copyright infringement. Given that this Discord was (1) apparently operating for years sharing paid mods and characters and whatnot, (2) the KK thread is axed for CP last week, then (3) the F95 Sharing discord goes MIA less than 48 hours later... you do the math.
Speak for yourself, sir. Obviously virtual children cannot be harmed, as they are not real. But real people who favor such things in manners inappropriate are not a far cry from eventually harming real children with whom they become in contact. Such people are sick and need professional help and or incarceration, not be allowed to continue such villainous behavior through fantasies created with technology.
Anyways, let us do as some other members are saying and get back to sharing our Honey creations (be they cards, mods, or cards that need mods).
The amount of bs and fantasies ppl like to spread around at the first chance never stop to amaze me.
The f95 discord server, which never had any affiliation with f95 but was called like that as a reference for the ppl who use this forum, it always been opened to literally everybody. And that's because it has absolutely nothing to hide/illegal, and for the records It didn't have neither KK, no vam, just hs1/2 mods.
Instead of wearing your tinfoil hat and spreading misinformations, would be better to talk and ask directly to the moderators. The reason it went off for a few days was for "copyright infringment", and "not related to mods". Mods cannot have any kind of copyrights cause 99.9% of the times they're recycled asset from other games. Make your researches if u don't know about it.
The only one who can hold such rights are the games producers.
Said game producers can file a report or a cease and desist usually when u're trying to make money out of them.
Which hironically they could do 'at any time' to almost every modder out there.
But luckly for them they don't seems to care much atm.
If instead the mods are shared for free it stay within the 'fair use' policy.
Despite Patreon offer a small copyright protection for a few bucks it become legit as long as you're creating asset from scratch.
And this is not the case for almost none modder out there.
Different story is, if I create something from 0 and i 'need to pay' (yes it cost money to own them) to own some copyrights
on my own creations. For instance, just to take a random one, hanmen code his own shaders and sell them on patreon. Potentially he can legit own copyrights on his creations and file a report if someone share them.
Nothing is recycled/stolen there, everything is made from scratch.
That said even discord always allow, in such cases, some time to remove the content that got reported.
End of the story.
