Too be honest because it felt wrong to run such a site and know you were a huge part of the piracy problem. But yes, I basically decided that I didn't want $20,000 a month. At the height of its time it served 2 million page views a day!

These days I'm just thankful for everything it taught me, I can safely say that my programming skill comes from this one website and the trial by fire that is to scale a website to such high traffic and bandwidth usage.



Yeah, the first time you take a site from nothing to large scale is awesome. :)


Would it still feel wrong if you geared it specifically to abandonware roms? Perhaps something to consider.
