It's kinda hard to do that if you're trying to keep up with the show while it's airing and DVDs aren't an option.

There's this lovely thing called cable. Doesn't cost much a month really. And if you're going to be busy when the shows on, they've had these nifty devices called VCR's for a while that will let you actually record things and watch them later.

Long story short, I don't give a crap if it's down. I have no problem watching or taping shows when they're on, and I have no issues with buying DVD sets of the shows I like later on.

As far as I could tell, TV Links would have been where legal departments looked in order to find out who was hosting their copyrighted material.

"Sir, I can't find any sites illegally hosting our shows, yet the ratings are low and somehow it's being discussed as though millions of people watched it."
"Hmm, nnyes... did you check TV Links?"

This is just my perception of it, but I imagine lots of stuff would still be online if TV Links hadn't been acting as a big red "COME HERE AND DEMAND ITS DELETION!" beacon.

Also, the ridiculous system they implemented whereby the shows opened in a special TV Links window (you know, instead of the way they used to link to the webpage with it on) was just really frustrating to use as it made it harder to tell if they'd simply screwed up a link or if it had actually gone dead.

Now if only the same thing could happen to eBaumsworld.

Haven't you people heard of alluc.org?

I've had cable for 2 years and SciFi wasn't one of the channels they offered. Yet today I looked and found that I now get it! Yay!

And since TV Links got all dumb and decided not to usually tell you where the episodes were being linked from (you had to work it out) you don't know whether to search YouTube, DailyMotion, Veoh, Tudou, Stage6, PutFile or "other" for it :P

NO WAI! NO *censor*ING WAI!

How could this happen?... :(

And to think, the day before last I was frustrated the site wasn't working, and was optimistic that it would be running the next day...

I guess it's morally right that it got shut down, but as you said Lekana I won't be able to watch those more rare animes and such on there anymore.

I've been going to Veoh and Vidi Life now :p

I can't function without my Claymore!!!!

NOOOO! Now I have to wait for season 2 of Heroes to come out in England. Which will be in like a year. And I have to watch the new Avatar on this wierd thing called a television.
