http://moe.homelinux.net /

Seems that some company wasn't too happy about some pics posted there.
Anyone has more details about what happened?

For those who don't know, the site is a massive picpost site, but it's much much much easier to navigate than 2ch.
There are categories such as moe stuff, anime screencaps, and *ahem* other... stuff

The following are being discussed on the Moe BBS, which is still up:

- 18-sai game (H-game) images are effectively banned
- Admins will be given targeted post kill power (to enforce the ban)
- Thread sizes (currently max 100) will likely be lowered

I guess the current ban happened because of the posting of some ecchi game pics on moe.
Not sure which game it was though.
Anyone knows?

What is at issue here, images directly taken from games or doujin concening game characters?

Pics ripped from the game. I thought it served as an advertisement, as long as it isn't a "let's collect all the CG from this game" thread.

Chupiler! You're quite a rare customer.
You should be Pal Chupiler :)

Elf and Studio Ego huh? Big ones.
I bet they can sue hard.

... which is very weird, since tons of other Japanese sites post game pics as well?

Maybe the game companies have decided to clamp down on this practice, since it does rob them of their income in a way, and probably infringes on some copyright law.
Too bad moe had to be one of the first victims.

Next might be the enforcement of the Jipo-law (child pornography regulation law)?
Has the bill been passed by the diet yet?

All I know is that all of a sudden Paintchat was down. I went there all the time to doodle (and often see my drawings destroyed by some ass rapping on the "clear all" button because it's somehow funny or something). There's another Paintchat on a different server, I think.

Oh boy! It's summertime!

The mess is over for now?

New changes quoted from a post in the adtrw forum, because I'm too lazy to type it in my own words and it's late.

"There are two new buttons which don't
matter to normal users: the cyan button, which is "edit thread", and the crimson button, which is "mark for deletion", part of the aforementioned policy change.

So far, the message per thread cap doesn't seem to have moved from 100... "

New moe menu: (buttons from left to right)

Anime Cap - anime screencaps.
Moe-e - encompasses the cute, adult, and fappable categories from before.
Other - misc stuff
Relax - board with no "24 hour" rule.
Practice - new board, for practicing how to post.
Pic Chat v2/v3 - oekaki boards.
BBS - place to put requests and suggestions. No pictures here.
Rules - just what it says.
Deleted - shows the kinds of threads that get deleted, and with what frequency.

3D (ie real life) images are banned. 3D CG is not banned."
