Thanks for the clarification Phil, however regardless of the titles held, or who was first to post in the Category concerned, the fact still remains, it was and is still used extensively for the purpose for which it was created, the sourcing and availability of ebooks/software etc. To include users such as yourself, Yousef and many others, myself included.
We clearly have a different of opinion among the upper echelons of the forum past and present regarding the interpretation of forum rules and I applaud your honesty and stance relating to your decision in this matter had you held a title.
So the simple matter is, it's a link, is it illegal to provide this Link, apparently not as with all links it's freely available on the W.W.W. what you then do with it is your own personal choice.
  is it acceptable to provide this link within the forum, It would appear its acceptablity is dependant on who holds title at the time of posting. their lies the dilemma, a dilemma which I for one would welcome clarification given we have a time honoured didicated category for such links

Kind regards pap rika.

Thanks for the prompt reply onions.
    However given that you hold the position of Administrator I find it astonishing that you are unaware of the contents of the category ( Ebooks Recipes and Software etc. ) A category that has apparently been in existence since Dec/24/2004, some18 years, if not longer.
  It clearly provides a means whereby members can and do source / seek provision of ebooks, links to ebook sites, and in some cases provision of copyrighted books enmasse,
I might add that I find it contradictory that you find it acceptable that warez was being swapped, whilst objecting to ebook links, many being sourced from warez sites.
May I further draw your attention to the fact that Phil, whom I believe holds, or has Held the role of Administrator voiced no objection to the post, on the contrary he sought clarification of its URL.
  It may be of further assistance to note that the first ebook link available within the afore mentioned category was posted on the date above by Yousef. Whom I am led to believe is the owner of the site, so one needs to ask, double standards or an overzealous knee jerk reaction,


Kind regards pap rika
 

That would explain why my previous posts relating to the Link were removed, however can someone please explain to me, why we have a dedicated category entitled ( Ebooks, Recipes and Software etc )
whereby users are encouraged to benefit from the links within relating to ebook sites, whilst a Similar suggested site within my post was removed and deemed inappropriate.

Regard pap rika

that excellent book site linked in this forum recently.  What a site that is.

Could you please remind me of the URL, Robbo, or perhaps link to the thread in question ?  For once, the site's normally reliable "search" functionality is letting me down.

Hi all, FYI it's a pirate site and infringing just about every globally-adhered to copyright law going. That's why the links have disappeared (and will continue to do so). Sorry about that; but site rules 3 & 9 most closely apply, out of an abundance of caution. Feel free to take up with senior management of course. —Onions.

Ok Phil try this, it may display more revelant results.
Go to hamburger icon top right corner, select categories, go down to housekeeping and leisure, select sub category named cooking. Type ( Indian ) in search bar, the displayed results should contain recent Bir publications. Further books relating to the author, assuming they have published more can be obtained by selecting/clicking on their name that has been highlighted in blue, or the book publisher name below the book title. Be aware only five books per day can be downloaded if not a member so choose wisely. Hope this helps

Regards pap rika

Your welcome Phil, however look for more recent Bir publications and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Well here it is. Dins 70s version of base gravy. https://youtu.be/gFk6oYWeH7Q.

He just posted a video of his version of a base sauce. I see he also uses chicken carcasses, and he claims a controversial ingredient, tomato ketchup . Here's the link.https://youtu.be/jhLgQfY--CA.

Quote from: pap rika on April 09, 2021, 12:07 PMlooks like another bog standard base gravy. Had hoped for something more. 

Well it uses a home made chicken stock and that's far from normal in the vast majority of bases. I actually like his methods, like the bhuna and dopiaza onion prep. Not exactly new but along with the chicken-stock base I'm willing to give this one a go as potentially offering something different and hopefully more "old school".

Still don't find it reveals that elusive link (if their is one ) to the old school base,
  I'm sure many members add additional  vegetable, beef or chicken, stocks to enhance their bases, yet still claim to be missing that old school taste.
   Certainly won't please any vegans. But definitely one to watch.
