Welcome to Gaia! ::

Was that the thread for the online version of NES games? I think they locked that one for fear of either legal repercussion or they thought you were advertising...

Twenty-five minutes after the first post in that thread the site in question WAS NOT ACCESSIBLE. As such, it was unclear as to whether or not the site was operating in a legal manner. As you should be well aware, Gaia's TOS prohibits the use of Gaia for illegal activities. Piracy would be one of those "illegal activities".

I see that the site is back up and running, it even has a section that explains their legal stance. I suggest that if you wish to have your thread unlocked you read the guild's rules (paying close attention to the parts about advertising and contests) and then contact a guild moderator. Preferably the one that locked the thread.

Oh, and be curteous when dealing with them, they are all very nice people as long as you are nice to them.

[edit] Contra! ******** yeah! surprised

Kals is questing again!

Nintendo is particularly uptight about copyright infringement, and they will tell you that any nintendo emulator is TOTALLY and completely illegal, no matter what the maker of the emulator says. Or rather the ROMs are illegal. emulators are find as long as they aren't used for actual nintendo games.

So the site won't go down. So lots of people use it. So what? What does that have to do with anything?

Lots of people shoplift, or commit violence every day and get away with it; that doesn't make it okay.

This is so over and done with. You've hopefully read the rules by now and know what is and isn't allowed. End of story.
