Welcome back!

and you got it all from the game all on your own - please. Many, many people have compiled and share various information on NM on the internet.

Godspeed

Ever consider that the root concern over this is that, by staff not doing anything about 'people taking things that are not rightfully theirs', even openly announcing it, that you are in effect encouraging it?
I remember a year or two ago when general population of NM was too afraid to even consider it simply because JLH could, and would occasionally, check the logs and hand out a perm ban.
When you publicly announce that you will not, ever, waste your time to discourage 'theft' - because it is theft, taking something that does not belong to you; sharing does not bestow ownership - you remove any fear of repercussions.

I, personally, don’t care. I’ve shared with a select few people and never had a problem, and I don’t play NM anymore.
I guess I just don’t understand the method behind this. Seems to me that if you want to discourage people from sharing, why not just delete all accounts associated with theft, punishing the thief and ‘idiot’, and preserving some semblance of a fair NM economy.
