Hello,
as the most discussed topic nowadays is the closed ftp section, i think i dont have to open a new thread. Well, I've been playing video games for 10 years now, started in 1992 with a Master System II, bought a Saturn in 1995 and sold it two years later because I needed the money (you cant afford that much games when 13 years old). Well, I came back to SEGA with the Dreamcast and enjoyed it very much (am waiting to get Ikaruga BTW). Then I found a link to your page (some months ago) and found out you could easily modify a Saturn to play copies and imports. So I registered in the message board, read the Saturn section to learn more, bought a Saturn as well as some of my favorite games back of 1995-97 on ebay and got the console modified two weeks ago to play copies of those expensive rare games like PDS, Dragon Force, Shining Force III, Grandia and so on. Now I come back, look for the ftp section, read the threads about why it was closed. My opinion is, you should 1. put a backup of the ftp section online, so at least you could hope to find some games on old ftps, 2. allow users to trade their isos in an own section, 3. think about what influence and power you have. I mean, the ones who don't even blame a bit about the change, surely have tons of isos and aren't in the need of trading/downloading new ones. But you should also think about the players like me, who dont leech the whole content of a ftp server just to have a complete collection of games they never play. You spoke about alternatives for downloading in other threads, but I think you offered a great place for iso trading, maybe the best, so why close it? Let people trade, let assholes leech who never come back or are interested in posting on other topics. They dont matter. But dont behave arrogant just because your HDs are filled with isos, and you are lucky. It's your site, I know, but once again think about what you have created. Some will now say I never posted since june, but as I said I read through the Saturn section for some days, remembered games I now could download for which I didnt have the money some years ago and which are rare now. For that reason I didnt have to post in the first weeks. When I wanted to discuss about SEGA stuff I posted in German boards, as I am German. But your board is the best source to get isos, thats it, why change it?
So think about a better solution than just taking away what many users have been happy about.
