Because – Pacati

WordPress, the semi-user-friendly-but-also-semi-hellish website client we use doesn’t allow people to download files with a click unless the file is an archive (WinRAR/WinZip) or the user is registered. ‘Guest’ users wanting to download a non-archived file will only open the file within the browser, blocking file transfer.

We are sick of website registrations. One more damn username and password to remember.. no thanks. If pacati.net had advertising, we’d need registered users to generate usage statistics, but we’ll never have ads. So we’ll never be an annoying website that requires a password with alt-casing, a special character, a number, and at least 8 characters. And then when you choose a password that meets the requirements they gotta insult you by telling you it’s “weak.” Oh no! Somebody might hack into my account for a website I don’t care about and post as me! What will people I will never meet think of me? Then the website gotta text you a confirmation code. Oh and now you gotta unsubscribe from their fucking emails, not that you ever subscribed. Fuck all of that. Fuck it right in the eye.

We don’t mean to sound bitter, we just haven’t had any sugar in a very long time.

So you don’t have to register, but it requires the user trust an archive download. Since most know that basic malware detection is built into operating systems now, we think it’s not unreasonable to ask for that microscopic level of trust so we can sleep soundly at night knowing we’re not just another annoying website that triggers bitter people into beating puppies.

Thanks for reading, and so on.

Particularly since we don't have advertisements. A website without advertisements looks like it was made in 1992. But at least we can do the fine print. If you read the fine print, then kudos and I encourage you to breed. We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. If you're still reading I encourage you to return your attention to the road. You're about to hit a moose. Did you see that one Red Dwarf? It was rather humorous- but I must say if you like beer you need to try Bundaberg Ginger Beer. Where other ginger beers are positively rancid, Bundaberg Ginger Beer is absolutely amazing. It's also expensive because it's imported from Australia. Unless you're reading this from Australia. In which case fuck you. Teh point is it's non-alcoholic, so you'll only get a sugar buzz and a belly. The best root beers on the planet are among the greatest beverages ever made, and none of them are worthy to sit in Bundaberg Ginger Beer's bottle. Bundaberg Ginger Beer, it's the best you can do. *pops the cap off, tilts the glass bottle back, swallows, and smiles widely before a thick, bubbly belch rumbles from his belly to his lips* Pardon me. Bundaberg Ginger Beer, you think you can do better? We'll beat your face off. Are you having a good time, that's what we want to know. If not, we'll beat your face off. No, we love you. No. No. Listen to this one. Once there was a man. A very old man. This man had a dog. A very young dog. One day, the dog attacked the man. The man died. The end. Would you like to hear another one? Okay! Once there was a woman. A very dumb woman. This woman had a cat. A very smart cat. One day, the cat attacked the woman. The woman died. The end. Would you like to hear another one? Okay! Once, there was a child. A very short child. This child had an snake. A very long snake. One day, the snake attacked the child. The child died. The end. Would you like to hear another one? No?....think that's enough, Frederick?
