Just thought I'd sticky a reminder. FE7 is available in North America and won't cost (most of you) a limb to get. And it wouldn't kill to support FE so we can get more. I'm not telling you to buy it, it's a suggestion.
The ROM thing though... that's not a suggestion. They're not legal. Don't ask.
Oh yeah, that applies to any game FYi.

Hope you don't mind if I clear up a few things about roms kyuusei for people.....
-Asking for Roms are illegal period!
-The 24 hour time limit is not true, they are illegal even if you owned them for less then 24 hours
-Discussion of roms is allowed, DISTRIBUTION of roms on the other hand is strictly forbidden (don't complain this forum is very lenient about rom discussion and patches compared to other forums)
-Making them yourself and owning them I'm unsure on but I believe it is allowed if you make a copy for backup purposes but it does void your warrantee.
But when you no longer have the original game which the rom was made from I do know you must delete it but actual making and possession I'm unclear.
-And we will especially rip out your throat even more so if you ask for a rom of a game thats currently profitting or in circulation.
-Anything to do with roms you discuss through Private Messages and off forum on the other hand is none of the forums business.

Thanks, Seti. It was late and I was tired (and cranky from seeing ROM requests) when I made my post. :P

No problem, I'm getting tired of the ROM requests myself anyway, that was the third in a week.

If you want to do anything youv'e got to be harsher. Heres an example(use if you may): Listen up everyone i'm sick of replies to ROM requests pleadgeing you to buy the game. If I see another ROM request topic them I'm stating an on the spot ban for the poster and immediate deltion of the topic. Thank you. Bans are pretty useless on this place due to geusts but deleting the topic isn't. If you want to make people notice put it on the fadder don't make it yet another sticky topic to go with the 20 in this part of the baord already (most of which are now full of trash). Or better still reply to the topic with this: Here ya go! www.google.com/ Good luck  Oh remember to lock the topic afterwards so they can't go, site no had romz. |

I wish we could have the board so people would HAVE to register. =P People don't read the rules (which are only on general, and not everyone goes there first) so a sticky here, where ROMs are more often requested is better than nothing. Plus this is the game which we LEAST need to be handing out ROMs of. I seem to be the only one who locks ROM requests. I never thought of deleting because well, maybe at least for a day or two or three people can see the locked topic and take a hint not to ask for ROMs. =P

arent roms legal if you own the game itself Read, I made myself pretty clear that only case ROMs are only okay if YOU'VE made them for personal backup purposes. Don't IP bans work for Guests? |

Yes, they should, as their IP still gets logged and such. I hadn't thought of that. :P
