Re: RPG Maker Hentai Games
Allow me to recap a little of the history of this thread: (yeah I am feeling like an old man at the moment)
1) This forum has been around for far longer than this thread. Back then the traffic volume was a lot smaller, but it was still active. Very few games were shared, but there were still a few noticeable ones.
2) At the same time, there was a thread in Hongfire forum called

. It was created to find games where the heroine or hero would get raped after losing. As the name implied, the first few games proposed actually ends when you lose. However, let's face it, game that "rewards" the player when you lose is actually more entertaining than games where you have to win all the time. Most of the games posted were RPG maker games, even though that has nothing to do with the thread topic, but people got used to it.
3) The Hongfire thread operated in pretty much the same way as this thread. People will post a new game, everyone will download it and start asking questions. Fun was had. The Game Over Rape thread in Hongfire became huge. You think this thread is bad? By huge I mean it eventually hit the thread limit of 1000 pages. A

thread was created.
4) However, sometime before it hit that 1000 page limit, Hongfire changed their file sharing policy. DL links and torrents are no longer allowed on that thread. At around the same time, this thread was created in ULMF (I think it was actually around for a while before the Hongfire ban. I can't remember the time difference). There was a very noticeable increase of traffic in this thread after the ban, indicating that at least some of the new comers were displaced by the Hongfire ban.
That's just the history as it is. I am taking a neutral stance in this issue. I think it's great that we have a place to discuss the games we like, but at the same time we need to remember that this isn't an off-topic discussion board. This forum won't die simply because this thread is closed off, just as the Hongfire thread didn't die, but simply turned into a walkthrough thread. People will adapt and get used to it.
That said, how many of you actually visit the rest of the forum?
