The url for DCEmulation.com has changed to DCEmulation.org (http://www.dcemulation.org/). Update your bookmarks people.

Main Page: http://www.dcemulation.org/

Forums: http://www.dcemulation.org/phpBB/index.php

Wraggster, 007Cheater might have a domain name for sale soon, get your PayPal ready. :D

Other people might post more info on what has happened later on.

i take it theres been a revolution then :)

Like ive said privately, the Dreamcast scene needs to be a family working together to create a strong scene and entice new users and old back to the Dreamcast, the last month of Dreamcast releases has been the strongest for some time, makes me glad i took back the site and do my bit to get the scene going again from this sites viewpoint.

Thanks for the report. Why it was changed?

It was changed basically to get Sean out of the picture. He had been annoying |darc|, BlueCrab and others with his blog spamming on the main page plus he was trying to get ads put on there as well so he could make more money from the site he's barely had anything to do with for 7 years.

Yes. When he banned BlueCrab from his site, it was the end of his reign.

good good :)

will be nice to have a rival again :)

competition always makes for a stronger scene,

There should be no rivals in the DC scene - we should be all friends. ;)

When Wraggster wants "rival" he refers to a "friendly rival", not a scene war.

Yep, Wraggster is more after a friendly news posting/site updating competition rather than a flame war. ;)

DCEmulation.com redirects now to SeanbaJuice.com, Cheatah's new site.

It's gonna be a bitch having to change existing links to the site, especially for homebrew tools found on the http://dchelp.dcemulation.com (http://dchelp.dcemulation.org) site linked elsewhere.

I agree. All the "Check for updates" function is now defunct on all the current releases, too.

Don't see why he's complaining, he's probably getting a lot more hits to his blog now which is all he really wanted.

007Cheater/Cheatah/Sean Bryant has had almost nothing to do with dcemulation.com for years so even though his name is on the site, nobody should listen to him. Let's not forget this damning picture...

He didn't do anything for the site since. Just give him the domain and then we ignore him

Btw, is this 10year old girl his girlfriend?

Just got something very similar to that in an email from dcemulation.com. I was a bit confused as you can imagine so came here to see if anyone had mentioned it and knew what was going on.

WTF is that picture about?!

I've had a similar email too.

So what's going now? There's 2 sets of virtually identical forums (at least until people decide which one they're going to post in), one at the original address and one at a newer one.

On one hand folks seem upset that the owner of the site did what he wanted with it (regardless of the community's opinions) and on the other we have the creator recreating the site again and being upset that his site (or content at least) was taken from him unwillingly.

It seem a right mess and to someone pretty neutral (I have fence marks on my arse to prove it) both parties appear have acted disrespectfully to the other.

I don't know the explicit details so if I'm mistaken please correct me, but I'm disappointed with it all and feel it's doing no good to the community.

so the forums at the .com addy are bak now ?

Dr._Zoidberg
March 25th, 2008, 22:19
Yep, but 007Cheater and Xylene are running those ones. None of the old staff are mods there anymore, our powers have been removed.

i just had a fab read of the admin/staff forums, nice to know what certain people really think about moi and dcemu uk

Did I say anything bad about you? :D

And if everyone got to read the staff/admin forums here would they find it free of any DCEmulation bashing? ;)

Huh? ;)

So dcemulation.org are the nice guys now?
I guess they are since the mods who are no mods at dcemulation.com anymore have been running the site for years. Nevertheless I can imagine how irritating this situation must be for people who aren't that often on the boards and now have no idea what the heck is going on....

I don't remember seeing much/any DCEmulation site bashing in the staff forum. I can't say anything about the admin forum, since I can't see it.

Well, DCEmu UK is no 007Cheatah fan club, yeah, what BC wrote is true.

wraggster
March 26th, 2008, 21:07
to be honest no one posted anything about dcemulation apart from the recent thing, ive usually got much bigger problems to deal with, ie site hacking forums etc

Dr._Zoidberg
March 26th, 2008, 21:36
Yeah I didn't think there would be massive attacks on the site but I remember back to when I had staff access here and there were a few anti-DCEmulation remarks made every now and then, nothing too major though.

I don't remember seeing anything posted in the DCEmulation staff forum about DCEmu UK that hasn't been said in the open forums though, generally it's just stuff about this site's name, the Harry Potter forum or something about CV.
