Shoutbox Rules

Quick reminder








Once again, the shoutbox has the same rules as the forum. One I seem to have the need to point out in particular:

This public forum is intended for users of all ages, please take this into consideration when posting. Please use common sense and don't post explicit profanity, we are not strict on the use of swearing but please show respect for the members of GBAtemp.
Users are prohibited from posting pornographic, vulgar or any other distasteful and explicit images.

The forum rules can be located here as always.



Any member who posts in the shoutbox breaking this rule will get a raise in their warning level from now on.

Who still remember that time where Gbatemp used to be the download place for Gba roms? I am

You could download GBA roms on GBATemp? I can never remember that. Only that they do what they do now, just give you the release number and name, .nfo and boxart.

Yeah and untill not so long ago there was still an old version of Gbatemp online, I think here: http://digilander.libero.it/gbatemp

It's gone now though

Edit: Here are the old rom links of the board in 2003: http://web.archive.org/web/20040602234605/...?act=ST&f=4&t=7

GBAtemp began as a small GBA ROM site in 2002, created by it's original admin, an Italian guy named KiVan.
KiVan was a GBA scene freak, always behind the latest ROM releases. He was both for playing them (first on emulator, then came the 'real hardware', aka flash carts) and for sharing them with others.
Motivated by his passion for the GBA games and by the relative difficulty of getting the ROMs on IRC channels soon after the release, he came up with the idea to host some of the latest ROMs himself, to help out close and far friends that shared his same passion: the GBA. So he started to keep a constantly up-to-date web page, where he provided always-working links to the LATEST 10 GBA ROMs. A very simple and straightforward page: just some text & images, and links to the ROMs of course .
He started to become well-known in the scene because he was blazingly fast in updating the web page (split-seconds after the ROM was released, KiVan uploaded it on the hosting web space and updated the page with the links), and he almost never had any broken links (well he had them, but he worked VERY VERY hard to update old dead links with new links as soon as he noticed them down... and that was REAL fast since he was a real 'F5' refresh maniac).
That page was called GBAtemp, mostly because it was a GBA ROMs page, but always TEMP(orary), since KiVan had to switch hosting nearly everyday, and KiVan worked hard for it: by updating every hour or less the page with the newest ROMs & by always keeping the web page & the ROMs online, using a free dynamic DNS service in order to automatically give people the link to the latest, constantly changing, working web space. more...

Whenever I see this post on the front page of GBA, I always have the same thought.

Instead of "Shoutbox rules

", it's

"Shoutbox RULES!!1!

"

Hey! I got warned on Apr 27 2007, 07:46 PM, but you said "Any member who posts in the shoutbox breaking this rule will get a raise in their warning level from now on." On Apr 30 2007, 11:48 PM, 3 days later!
That it totally an ex post facto!

 

[Costello]

the "rules" link was specifically put in the shoutbox.
If you break the rules, you'll face the consequences!

this topic is only a reminder!
