call it "FE that passes coin count to M@ME" then

Seriously guys, do you or do you not see what is happening here? Do you think that Nicola woke up the other day and just decided to start pulling ebay auctions for fun?
They're getting pressured from somewhere. There are lawyers involved due to the TM thing already and it's to the point now that ebay auctions are getting pulled. Would adding credit management to a FE make things better or worse? Or does none of this matter and it's time to purposely try and get everything shut down?
I think some people are purposely trying to cause us problems yes. We've stated please don't do that, it would only cause us problems. Pushing the issue further indicates that all people want to do is cause us problems.
As I said in the previous thread seems quite a lot of people are quite happy now to take what we've done because their favourite games are emulated, and basically screw us over with no consideration for consequence or the long term future of what is a historically important project.
Its funny, these people claim to be great followers of the project, fans, until you tell them they can't do something.
People seem to see MAME as some kind of throw-away project, something that could be replaced at the click of a button, it isn't. Sure, creating a piece of software that plays some of your favourite games might be quite easy, but creating something as in-depth as MAME isn't and I suggest that for future generations when non of these boards can be found in fully functional order and the information contain in MAME is vital to their restoration you look after it instead of endangering it because you want to make some quick cash now, or just because you want to piss off the developers because without some of them (for example Aaron) the project would just fall apart.
