    I'm not registered there, someone should ask them to contact Wayback Machine to send bots their way so it's preserved and to make a backup just in case.

    I'm really not sure how a forum can't pay for itself, just put a couple ads on it. Not that I know how much ads can payout. But like, there are sites that consume way way more bandwidth and stay afloat.
    There's a lot more drama involved. All the staff quit, there is one Admin that doesn't answer PMs, posts etc and refuses to accept any help with the forum software updates and plugins. There have been numerous offers to buy the forum, but they go unanswered.

    Oh. Forum drama. Certainly the worst part of forums...
    *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

    Recently there is a bit of confusion regarding MAME, older versions are generally more compatible and 037b11 is currently most compatible with ROMs downloaded off the Internet. So I uploaded a mirror of the official MAME 037b11 release and posted it in the Arcade section. Newer is not always better as far as versions.

    I mean, subscription models tend to work out better than advertisements, so long as the audience and demographics are decided upon and reachable/reached. If there are people truly passionate about the place, there's no reason why it could not have worked out that way. Maybe the admin just began to lose passion in the end?

    But, if it's drama shit... *shrugs*

    They should go the http://ufoevidence.org route and privatize with a one-time subscription fee. Ufoevidence is basically the encyclopedia of ufology and has major server costs. Privitization is a better solution than shutting down, the landing page could be hosted on a separate CDN server to minimize bandwidth usage, and all media can be served on the CDN server like Facebook.

    I think CL was more widely used before it went-downhill. I think with the personals gone, hardly anyone uses it anymore.
