Personal Information and Security
What this means is, that we will be deleting our log files monthly, that keep track of your pages visited, and your IP addresses. While this information helps us track down multiple accounts and cheaters, at some point in the future that information could be requested by some bully corporation, and if this ruling is any indication, we'd be required to give up your personal information and your browsing habits to that corporation.
To keep it simple, it means that we're protecting your privacy, and making it harder for large corporations to request information about where you've been looking on the internet.
If you share a computer with someone else, you're fine! Don't worry about it :)
I'm extremely mad, though, that Viacom is taking over everything. First my favourite (and first ever) petsite was bought by them, now they're being nosy gits elsewhere... What's next, Viacom?
flaps away and fumes in a dark corner 
I'm reading these posts and It seems some people are confused about why this measure is taking place. The gist is Viacom is suing google because, Youtube is hosting protected works owned by Viacom. Now Viacom knows that under the DMCA, Google and Youtube are exempt from legal action because the DMCA protects companies from suing sites which host files uploaded by the average Joe.
Viacom's lawyers pointed this out in court, stating that the under DMCA nothing that can be done, but the main problem is for every file that is taken down 2 more take its place. The cycle would just repeat itself and become never ending, yet all is irrelevant because suing Google is just Supterfuge to get information of the users who are uploading the files.
The DMCA only protects the companies hosting the files not those that upload them. You see?
Companies like Viacom, will take any means to stop anyone who ruins their profits, no matter how backhanded and dirty the method. Prime example would be when the RIAA sued a girl for downloading music, but here is the catch. She had been dead for 2 years after they finally decided to take legal action. Did they stop there, of course not! They went after her family and of course lost that case, Yet it just goes to show the companies true colors.
We really need to stand up and stop these companies from taking over our civil liberties.
Thank Staff, for at least protecting them to an extent. However I do have one question.
If the site were to ever roll back more than a month, due to unforeseen circumstances. We would lose some items due to the logs being deleted every month? If this is true I guess hen it is a price to pay to protect my information from tyrannical companies.
Again, TY
