    As the news-posts on the site don't have a date attached to them, it's hard to know when this was posted, but I find it funny that he was complaining about server speed issues. He's likely linking to slower sites, and trying to cover that up by attributing the slow downloads to server issues.

    Pshht. If we tell you, we'll need to kill you!

    I'm still thinking this guy is doing this since ages, but never got saw by anyone. He's likely picking some small sites, that offers alot of roms for free, but managed by so-so webmasters which doesn't really know what they are doing...
    This time, he just found something else than an internet luser.

    And you know what, your evil Cyber, oh sooooo evil. But we all like it this way.

    Looking at the screenshot Doh provided, he made that to N64 roms mostly.
    And another page, that kinda looks like a download manager page, was linking to doh site.

    Their logic doesn't make sense either... I use webalizer too and the link that are shown is not manually type urls... it's a linked url from that specific place. If it was manually typed then it is registered as your website url not someone elses.
    it's called redirect for that single reason.

    Yes. I think they are finally gone.
    Expect still to see alot of people from romhustler, even more if they are all linking popular roms to your dwonload page .
    Bye bye 500Gb bandwidth that was left.

    Edit->And wow, Zechs trying to do his cool dude, he just got pwned.
    I wasn't Sky_Seal, i have more manner, I would have e-mail shit to them...

    Hey I don't mind if they link to my site. Just not directly linking to the actual files

    There's a difference in linking to you and sucking your bandwidth dry LOL... they should know that themselves.

    And there are some bad eggs there that meddle into things that has no concern of them. No valid points at all... they should ban them too LOL

    Haha, poor Sky_Seal will go there one day and wonder why he's pre-banned. Unless he's still lurking here and that was him
    *PSA* Wii Redump collector's can now unscrub ISO files. So scrubbed games can now be verified. You can find the program to do this here

    That was totally pointless. Don't revive old threads for the purpose of spamming, 'kay? It's not a good idea at all...
