Default The Ghost of RS

I agree that the RS section needs to be changed, regardless of the fact that there are spam problems with some of the pay-for-upload/download hosts. RS is dead, Rapidfind.org which was hands down the largest supporter of RS is now Bolt and supports different hosts which required an internal forum civil war in regards to the state of, and future of RS, and RS lost horribly. Due to a combination of getting to large (therefore being targeted by all the legal big guns from the media corps) and service restructuring from top to bottom RS lost all their uploaders and the paying downloaders that came with them to such a degree that I would say that 95% of all I download is no longer uploaded to RS in the first place. The simple fact is no one really uses RS at all anymore so it is, in effect, dead; I don't even visit the RS section here anymore and I was one of the strongest supporters of it.

My vote goes to either:
Oron
Fileserve
or
Hotfile
