@All: I am reading a lot of kind sentiments from people in posts and PMs ... some of them, usernames I don't recognize; but my mind is made up. I just felt that I have posted my displeasure over and over about the way most people here add nothing of value (but taketh so much away). Since nothing has changed in the 6-plus years I've been here, it's time for me to change how I behave here.
After all, I've read somewhere that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and somehow, expecting different results.
I have been told to add the forum password to my shares or post the BBHF site name in my documents. Well, how does that protect them? I have found downloads on other B-H and course download sites that contain "bestblackhatforum.com" in a text file. That doesn't make it any more difficult to download or share by anyone, anywhere. In fact, I once found a course with a Mega link. After downloading, I could not open it because I needed a password. I was able to view the text document inside the Mega UI. When I saw bestblackhatforum.com, I instantly knew to use this forum's password and --- violà --- I got inside!
By the way, Scribd's legal department sent me an email confirming removal of my Layna's Links Letter (October 2019). I asked if there could be other instances of that document (I published that newsletter from July 2019 to July 2020) on their platform because, if so, I want that one DMCA notification to serve in removing all of them.
And Lala says she has removed all my shares that were less than 4 years old but she can't delete everything (ex: threads where my share was not the OP but a mirror link or existing links I posted ... or threads 4 years or older). So there will be remnants of my shares hanging around.
Becoming a leech will be a gradual process for me because it's not in my nature. Just yesterday, I found links to this crazy-amazing new course on self-publishing and a series of e-books on Amazon by Gabrielle Gundi that are perfect for advancing my current projects. As if by rote, I fired up my Notepad II to begin writing a post to share all of it here on BBHF. Then, I remembered: I'm supposed to be changing the way I do things here. So, I imported that course into my Mega account and downloaded all those Gundi e-books from my Kindle Unlimited, converted them to PDFs and saved them to my external hard drive.
I closed Notepad II altogether.
I'm not proud of that ... but I'm working on it.
