Message: <blockquote data-quote="Phoenix" data-source="post: 695">Regardless of all the drama, and of whether Spike/romhacks.org has anything to do with the shutdown, Spike has to understand that romhackers that spend hours/days/months or even years of their free time to build their romhacks/fan translations will never want to be connected to a person that runs two completely incompatible online activities: an illegal warez website (CDRomance) and a tentative romhacking.net replacement.In 20 years, one of the key contributions of romhacking.net was precisely to make the masses understand that romhacking and general warez/illegal rom sharing were not the same thing, and that romhacking should be normally accepted as a healthy and legal practice. That is why Spike's position as both the admin of CDRomance and romhacks.org will prevent any reasonable romhacker to EVER contribute to romhacks.org. Warez and romhacking are two incompatible worlds nowadays, and Spike knows it very well, and that is why he keeps CDRomance and romhacks.org two separate entities.But, no matter how different the URLs of the two websites are, the issue remains.I think there is a decision to be made here: what do you want to be Spike? The admin of yet another warez website that will be inevitably shutdown because of yet another DMCA letter, like all others that came before it, or the admin of a flourishing new romhacking hub? No matter what you pick, the crucial thing here to understand is that there is no way to be BOTH.</blockquote>
