Ban me from DP if you want but i didn't type all this shit just to let a locked topic stop me.
Like i said before i have personally reviewed thousands of scans for our database as have other staff members. I have denied thousands as well. Because they were obviously stolen. And what does that say about you promoting this guy to a staff position? Do you even talk to them? How does a question like "Hey where are you getting all of these scans from? Especially all the rare ones?" not come up?Originally Posted by RevQuixo
I could give a damn less about the competing website BS.Originally Posted by RevQuixo
Many people list their collections in multiple places and use multiple messageboards. Your just trying to make this arguement into soemthing it is not. Just like the people comparing this to dumping ROMs.
I have even said if not in this thread in another that i like the way your database is set up. I give respect where respect is deserved.
Hmmm let me see.Originally Posted by RevQuixo
RFGen was a splinter group from Video Game Bible(which died at an accelerated rate when they left VGB). So all the info they started with was from an already existing older website that had been somewhat in collaboration with websites like DigitPress and AtariAge.
I can go thru our news archives and see we thanked DP and specifically Joe Santulli for donating lists for at least 5 systems. We have also had lists of systems donated by ReneLips who runs www.renelips.nl has sent us lists for at least 4 systems.
We have scans for rare games donated by nice people like Ben Smith who donated alot of images and info about the Nintendo World Championship cart. We have people like FND and bum-man who we found thru eBay and have contributed images for hundreds if not thousands of images before they sold them.
Pick any image in our database. It can be traced back to a specific person(because we credit them) on our website who owns it.
So don't say "VGR does the same thing" because you most certainly do not.
I have said all i wanted to.
Lock the topic, kick me from DP.
I don't care.
Anything else that needs to be said we can say elsewhere.
