in 2005 i was pulled to jail for rmt services. i was shouting my proboards url for my linkshell in jueno.
i told him i was 14 and couldnt afford a website. i had no idea that there was "buy ffxi gil ads" on my forum. it was a free service that used ads that i had no control over. i was just trying to recruit players to my linkshell. i told him i was sorry and that i wouldnt do it again. but i love my character and i would never do rmt stuff. i was just young and poor." he said he was sending back to jueno. he was lifting my jail time, however it will still be on my record.
i said ty and freaked out in my linskhell.
and yes it has always been against T.O.S to shout urls.
