I appreciate everybody who gets the scene together, whether it be IRN, Facebook, Youtube, EAB or A1K or whatever...
No need to fight against each other.

Hold on, where exactly am I "shoving this into "you have to decide between us or them" territory"???
Tell me where I've asked people to take sides; either EAB or IRN???
If you read the thread you will see:

If I didn't then the following definitely wouldn't have occurred:
a) Donate a decent amount to your website because I support you, and wanted to.
b) Assist you with numerous .HDFs when requested; one example here.
c) Provide you will access to my 15+ year project and have given you constant "Update Packs" over the past 2+ years.
So, now thoughts on all this. I'll be totally honest, as I always am  |
I haven't said what you've written at all; do I really have to repeat myself again???
...it definitely seems so with you... and yes, you don't get it as your game has been posted on IRN; so it works out perfectly for you. Well done!!!
I'm not concerned with exposure (unlike yourself); I'm just pointing out that if you take information from somewhere, you should have the decency / respect to link to the source.
That's been my argument all along... you clearly read this another way; hence trying to put words in my mouth...
Well

It's only fair, and what most Retro bloggers / other forums would do automatically |
It's about principle; if I was to take information from somewhere and post on my blog, I would always mention the original source
Even more so when it's a line for line copy of text from somewhere.
This is what most Retro bloggers / other forums would do automatically when they take news from EAB
I hardly think this is asking too much is it now?
