Uh, I'm pretty sure Noise was being sarcastic there.

And secondly, why did you bump this thread? :(
Because I was looking for that list posted of sites shutdown, and this post happened to call out to me while I was searching for it. He was saying it in response to someone acting like it was totally unbelievable for someone to decide stealing was wrong.
Why didn't you just quote the guy Noise was responding to then?

Any one notice that Snesorama is dead?

I mean, at least half (and I'm low balling) of their upload links were Megaupload. I read some forum rumors that there might have been malware on the site, or they might have closed to avoid legal issues, or they might reopen as a completely legal site.


So, where should I get my TuxTheWise DCRES releases now? SOR seemed to be his home. I had his thread bookmarked, which he updated with his new releases.

Yeah, that was a huge part of their site, and it is completely crippled without it. Tis is a really, really big loss for game preservation. Not to mention that Retromags moved all their data to MU a couple months ago, so now their site is completely useless.
