Actually it was Aaron...the head mamedev...but my understanding was that it (them being upset at something here) has been going on since before that time.   It would be nice to know what in the heck was said in that one deleted response.

arent those boards made in china?  and the byoac is in the states?

no he's pissed because someone posted an auction link and he lost because of the unwanted publicity.

Zakk:

I thought it was Davr that was cheesed.

GoPodular.com:

I don't think he was talking "BYOAC" as in the BYOAC website.  I think he was talking "BYOAC" as in MAME cabinets.

IIRC, he's a member here, so if he had something to say about this site, he would do so.

It would appear that someone from BYOAC was the offender who made the upload, if I'm reading this post correctly. Which was a part of our stickied high score diff thread. So actually it does come back here unless I'm misunderstanding Leezer's post. If I'm wrong then I apologize, but otherwise that was very stupid.

Edit: Ok, read the linked MAME thread, and yeah, it was Leezer, so the comment about BYOAC was dead on. It might be best if some clarifications were made to that sticky to avoid further unnecessary friction. The MAME devs are certainly in the right here. Compile your own version if you want to make changes.
