It seems that we no longer have our Download Section, ever since SOPA & PIPA came into existence. Brave move, and I support it. But, that's because it was visible to the people viewing this site, right? Even if it required Login (and a certain amount of post count to access), it still posed a problem.
So, what If we make invincible, and only visible to members in their "User Control Panel", like in the form of a Tab. It could go with IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS that appears when we open our "UPC". Post Count thing can be sort out, either allow it or keep it like Backstage. The ADMINS should also have the power to grant access to this section based on the new members activities, if found suspicious, no access. That member won't even know that such a section existed.
Think about it, TR. Just a thought.
