I'm not surprised that particular thread was pulled given the implied allegations.
Because everyone knows the nature of torrent sites (stolen content, pirated software, and of course, other "illegal" material) then sponsors that allow them into their programs and have the gall to say "it's all good" need to understand that they are, directly or indirectly, supporting the distribution of CP.

It would be a 1 minute programming job for AFF to search for the word "torrent" in the domain requesting an advertisement and deny it. They coudl easily scan their referals for torrent sites and disable accounts. They have the ability, they have the programming skill (even Lars could do it, he was an $11 a hour coder) but...

THEY LIKE MAKING MONEY TOO MUCH TO GIVE A RATS ASS.

That is what makes it so frustrating - the solution is RIGHT THERE... but they have no desire.
