Do you mean Boxnet Danielle ? Not sure how much space we have on it, i'l post a note in the staff room, its not something thats been discussed before, its a lot of work running an nzb section though so it would be up to all the staff and if our admin's aprove.
Maybe you would volunteer for helping if we can have one ?

hi

Am dont come on this forum often but have started to decide to pay a visit and contribute when ever I can of course

I am a member of other site and contribute there.

Nzb section would be great to have no doubt

I can create tutorials on it and can help out

however as far as posting contents like movies, pron etc etc would be difficult due to the fact that each individual has different taste.

same goes with warez sites which use RS etc etc and torrents also.

Definitely want to avoid any connection to torrents and warez, which initially appears to be how NZB would be most applied. We're trying to clean up here as it is.

I would yes... Its only the same as linking to an upload site but 300 times safer... no files nothing just an index, Its connecting to the server where things get dodgy and that is client side. It's the oldest way of sharing on the internet.. Binary newsgroups

As brian said he doesnt want any warez or copyright issues, have you seen this > Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation & Anor v Newzbin Ltd [2010] EWHC 608 (Ch) (29 March 2010)

Now there's definitely a reason not to do the same on TW.
