Almost ALL of my activity was in the Request section.. mostly filling requests, sometimes making requests.
Getting rid of the Requests section is like closing the forums.
If someone wanted to avoid duplicates.. the best and easiest way would be to allow searching for exact file sizes. If I have a file of 4,526,148,031 bytes, I can guarantee you that every file of that size, regardless of it's name, is the same file and a binary duplicate.
