yeah you are entitled to your opinion. However not much author cares about that otherwise I would get emails requesting their RPGs removed from my archives and tifreak8x would get some too. We are trying to help the author to make his files more popular. Sure they doesnt have any download stats (in the case of Omnimaga) but at least people wont have top search through 5000 crappy BASIC games to find 3 or 4 good RPGs. Also here there isnt any trolls and troublemakers, like at ticalc.org (once I was thinking about asking Jman on #tcpa to remove all my files from ticalc.org archives and put them on Ti freakware and calchaven instead because here ppl are more respectful) Since doing that is quite common I think the only thing to do is to remove the file when the author ask you do do so. Well thats my point of view and you are entitled to your own but me and other ppl too CAN are entitled to their own point of view.

Also I think its better to have files on other websites as well, providing they are regulary updated (otherwise you put a link to the original file location or a warning saying it might not be the last version). About omnimaga my first plan was to link every files on the website to ticalc.org, but then ticalc.org disabled remote linking so I couldnt and who knows, if there is a huge hurricane or earthquake or anything where the ticalc.org server is located, this would lead to the deletion of all files not only on ticalc.org, but on every website which link to ticvalc.org archives as well! Plus in my case there is the fact that 15% of the files on Omnimaga arent even in ticalc.org archives. There is another 15% which I thought they werent in ticalc.org archives and it took me several years to find them. An example I can show is Pok

Anyway TI freakware is doing a good job on his website and ranting about the fact he put the tutorial on his website without author permission isnt going to help much or even change anything. He even threatened to shut down his site and leave once because of that and since your rant I dont go to cemetech much anymore and am thinking about blacklisting it like MaxCoderz and Calcgames. You can suggest to link to ticalc.org, ask author permission first before including a file on his website but if the webmaster doesnt want to do that let him do what he want instead of trolling and turning things into a flamewar and if he gets in trouble its his problem (unless he uploads one of your files)

the Omnimaga forums are stagnating a bit atm as well, altough there is always a few activity going on. You should go at EPS, I think its the end here: first of all MLC discussion is moving to Casiocalc.org and the only active TI members (visits once per day at least and post at least once per week) are burntfuse and me. I might post about DDR here as well (once the first version is out) to at least keep some activity and I think Dys should post aura progress more as well (if its not dead) or EPS might close

The thing is that I hope he will not flame DDR/dance music like he did on AIM because thats why I didnt posted DDR progress on EPS yet
