Just wanted to point out that the thread started as a way for the poster to say that he'd had a good experience getting his buttons, trackball, and joysticks from the site.

It was actually this post
Watch out, they sell roms.
that started the rom conversation. Just a thought for future reference.

Don't try to turn this around on me.  He posted a link to a site that advertises on their front page that they sell roms.  I followed the link, and found myself on a site that sold something illegal, so I felt obligated to warn others so they don't do the same.

I gotta admit, Maraxle, that I didn't even notice the ROM links until you mentioned it either.  I wouldn't have given that thread the time of day again, having read the OP's message, checking out the site, and going back about my day.

I'll make some changes, but for the most part they appear to be a hardware vendor.

So basically, it doesn't count unless someone notices?  And to fix the problem, you just get rid of the warnings?  Hmmm...  I see how it works around here.  I personally don't like going from legit sites like this to less-than-legit sites like that without any warning.

With posts like this, it's making you sound like a child throwing a fit.  A big part of this 'hobby' (roms) is a grey area and most here know that.  But how often do you really see someone post asking for or linking to roms?  Not too often, cause like I said most know the rules.  The longer you keep harping on it, the worse you're gonna look.

It's cool.  I'll stop talking about it here.
