Looks like Rastous is a mod. Mr. Nice Guy didn’t delete it himself, so presumably Negative1 messaged Rastous and he did a favor.
…but that goes against normal etiquette. You don’t huff a torrent unless it goes against the sites’ rules…or it had been abandoned and there are no seeders…OR if the ORIGINAL COPYRIGHT HOLDER threw up a C&D order…but since TN1 is not the owner of the source material (that would be mouse and rat)…I would have to go with the thought that Mr. NG was contacted. At least I hope so, if it was me and there was no good reason for my post to be deleted…I would be pissed and would immediately up the file to usenet, private and public torrents just to be a pain in the ass…
if you think about it…some people PREFER ‘grindhouse releases’ over cleaned/polished versions…we all know this…in a weird sense this is just like Lucas saying “well, this was not my INTENDED finished product, but I want all copies of pre-existing copies destroyed from history” … lol
