Robert Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 As was forecast a few weeks ago, the mame.net forums, famous for its slanging matches over the years, has been closed for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Yeah, I'd like to know why in the blue hell this happened. Anybody got the history behind it to share with us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Actually the entire www.mame.net has been closed. Why? MAMEdev didn't like it. Why? Because it was out of date in every way, old artwork, old samples, old everything. The forum was basically unmoderated, and newbies would usually get abused. MAMEdev felt that if people thought this was the face of MAME, then it had to go. So, they asked for and were granted rights over it, and the site was shut down - without any official warning. I only knew it was coming (but not when) because I happened to see a post by Aaron Giles at mameworld. It started with this, then on to today's post here.
