    For those who may have missed recent events: the switch to premium-only links on Nitroflare was not a decision made by the site administration or the post uploaders. This change was implemented by the file hosting service itself.

    We know many of our regular users still use Nitroflare and have active subscriptions, so we won't be removing it. However, we do plan to update our posting rules for uploaders in the near future to better adapt to the situation.

    Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
