Damn.. i know back in the days when rapidshare was the number 1 of the hoster scene. Then uploaded.to came up (the admin of rmx4u.com - an awesome forum for music these days) and many other filehosters. Then rapidshare implemented their point system with which you could buy premium accounts. There was a kind of premium points generator i remember
With this you could generate premium points by downloading your own files and reseting your ip. I sold those accounts for good money.
When i remember it was like 8 years ago.. Daaamn.. I'm feeling like a grandpa today
Dis a sad day 4 the scene
And btw. "noone knows why the founders have so decided": Of course they decided it because their company is not making good money anymore. They were the worlds largest and most used filehoster, but after they were observed by the police and they needed to add rules for warez hosting and they deleted all the warez noone used them anymore.
