You are absolutely right!
But I guess people won't ever understand that there is a request place on the board.
It's a bit annoying, when you see there is a new post in a thread, and then it is only a short "update please"...funniest thing if this is a thread that's 2 years old or even older, and people complaining that the dl links doesn't work any longer...
Sometimes I wonder if people think that the uploader are looking at all of their threads every day, just to see if somebody is asking for an update...
