actually, you didn't really answer it...
I asked what some of the sites that got shut down by nintendo are, and you didn't give me the names of any sites...
There are quite a lot of sites and forums that have been removed, I had one called "Batteries Not Required" and I had to close it as someone working for representatives for Nintendo and SNK (I hosted NGPC ones too) basically reported me to the folks hosting my site. My site always got deleted and I had to keep finding new hosts until I gave up.
I also had a little discussion forum, not one rom was on there until someone who I previously banned for basically being a twat posted a crap load of rom links in my links section and reported me to the hosts.
This is why this forum is very strict on people who post rom links.
I have been in the rom "scene" for about 5 months now.
