--- Quote from: ark_ader on September 07, 2013, 09:46:59 am ---There is no black and white to this argument, never will be. --- End quote --- Agreed. Ultimately, I have contributed nothing to MAME, but use it and enjoy it all the time. While I button mash all night, Haze and the crew stay up late to crunch code, so if I smell some hypocricy, I have so far kept it to myself as the only horse I have in this game rides on the back of their work. The MAME devs original goal of perserving the classics is an admiral undertaking, and though they wouldn't admit it, I bet the old school programmers from Midway and Namco not only understand the need to emulate hardware that is obsolete, but I can guarantee you they have MAME cabs in their house. |

The problem with MAME is, you can make money off it. If it provided no value, no one would abuse it. |

Got about 2-3 sentences in, skimmed it, threw up into my shirt. Haven't been back since. Autism speaks, apparently, and I want it to shut up. --- End quote --- As the father of an Autistic child that is mostly non verbal that comment is highly offensive. That is ban worthy in my opinion, it's sickening that immature people feel it's humorous to take jabs at the expense of the disabled. This forum just reached an all time low for me. :( Jason --- End quote --- But it not the forum, it's that post. This board has awesome people in it. |

This board has awesome people in it. --- End quote --- Just skipped through all 173 posts from WindDrake and I don't see any other times he showed this type of behaviour. As ridiculous a comment it is, it warrants an apology, lesson learned and all of us move on. I think it was a temporary lack of judgement. I find his normal posts to be extremely helpful and intelligent. :dunno |
