Feedbooks gone to the dogs?

carbonize · 04-14-2012, 12:35 PM

I used to visit Feedbooks on a regular basis and found it an excellent source of original material from unsigned authors. Then slowly spammers started abusing it so I would report the books and they would be removed. But now it seems Feedbooks no longer cares as the original books section is full of blatant spam, mainly for Lotus notes.

I have emailed them recently regarding spam posts listing many of them but nothing has been done. So have the staff/owners of Feedbooks just left it to rot?

I haven't used the site for awhile since they got rid of some of their better functions for some weird reasons... If you do ask the admins please let us know.
