#682138 Adboard Patch removed from site
cookamunga
You are violating copyright on a daily basis on this site (it gets especially spicy when you charge people real money). If people wanted to shut this site down they would have done so a long time ago.
Let's take a step back and remind ourselves why Sports Interactive asked you to delete this mod. It's because they are selling monetized ads in Football Manager 2022, a game we already paid for. If you remove those ads, they lose impressions and therefore money. While Miles is a great guy, I'd like to point out that Sports Interactive Limited is owned by a giant corporation.
Just don't pretend like there's some greater picture that I'm not seeing, this issue isn't that complicated. A company wants money, 3rd party modification gets in the way of their bottom line, people who host said 3rd party mod get bullied. You see this thing happen all the time elsewhere but I didn't expect SI to stoop to this level.
P.S. Sorry for the slow reply, I was enjoying a few seasons with 1860 Munich with the real-life adboard patch which is still available on other sites. It was quite immersive!
P.PS. I stand by my statement that you are making the world worse if you support monetized ads in finished, single player products. Not sure why you bring up “current events”, obviously the world is f*** up and there are more important things than a Football Manager 2022 mod being removed from this site lmao. This forum is specifically about FM. Having said that, Slava Ukraini.

I agree there's still a lot of convenience in using this site, but it feels super hypocritical of you guys to take down a mod just because SI is the one to tell you. What about all the kit mods that clearly infringe copyright, will you remove them as well?
Monetized ads in games that you already paid for is ridiculous and you are making the world worse.

No point in paying for my sortitoutsi account then. Short sighted decision by both parties.

I love this skin and made a small change, to make the “Continue” and other relevant buttons the default purple color as well:
Change this in the file Kojuro-v2.4.1 - Purple\settings\Kojuro-Purple-v2.4.0 settings.xml:
Change this line:
<colour name="fg accent" value="rgb(120,120,120)"/>
To:
<colour name="fg accent" value="rgb(100,30,170)"/>

I'd love for a way to disable this as well. It looks quite bad to have it as a default background on higher resolutions. Doesn't fit with my theme either.
edit: Nevermind, there is literally a menu option that accomplishes this. "Allow display of custom background pictures"
