A true end of an era. So glad to see the file database get dropped on internet archive.

This is Nintendo’s fault somehow, isn’t it?

Bye. From what I’ve heard that site and it’s community were pretty garbage anyway; which was why SimpleFlips started romhacking.com.

Copyright pressures increased dramatically with takedowns and legal burden. The site shifted from serving mostly contributing humans to bots and overzealous people abusing resources. They drowned everybody else out.

This is a very diplomatic way of blaming Nintendo and other companies without specifically naming them.
