we have decided ..after careful review and consideration ..to now allow links to the engines
should evidence be supplied in the future we (or future mod teams) will of course review the linkage situation
This thread is now UNLOCKED
The sticky prohibiting linkage has been removed

A really disappointing decision made by the three moderators. I wonder whether it was unanimous?
There is no reason to be disappointed because it was the just decision. A group of four men are standing and a woman comes along and says "one of these men abused me," but she refuses to say which one. Should all the men be thrown in prison until further notice? If evidence should come out supporting wrongdoing, I assure you, I will be on the right side.
I figured out that the moderators always do the opposite of what I want.
This helps me a lot to get from the moderators what I want
Best,

The problem with this will be that links will be given to these engines on sites which contain many other pirated engines.
I don't think so. The main Robbo update website is Norman's and there are no pirated engines there.
People will generally offer Robbo from their own websites. I too may host Robbo eventually.

Is that the Norman that is/was banned from here for cloning?

Yes
.
lol - so should the mods allow links to his site which probably still contains his clones?
Is everyone in accord that Norman Schmidt is, at least affiliated with Chesslogik.com, and very well may be the proprietor of the site.
A well known provider of clone chess engines.
So! That didn't take much effort did it? And a step in the right direction in understanding who these people might be that you are dealing with.
You are all very intelligent people-don't be myopic in your academic understanding of this issue. It is much broader than just limiting the research to the compilation of a chess engine.
