Romsite....why?!

[Wizard]

I would like to say that we wern't bashing Blah like Gamecop said. If it were like that, the results would be more terrible.

Yeah, when we bash, we BASH. No don't worry Junishin, no one of were afended.

 

And apparantly none of them noticed by retraction of the 30 bucks a month thing...

I just want to say sorry if anyone was afended. I'm a member at both sites and get their opnion on the subject. I didn't want them to come over here and Rant and spam.

************** on that link paul gives his reasons if you care. However once again I'm sorry and hope you don't shun me in the future if i still need help thank you.

Don't worry about it man, we talked to one of the staff member's at Blah and we got it all settled out. Quite frankly we didn't call it spamming, just discussion, which I honestly thought was fine. The only thing that irritated me was that you said "bashing Blah on another board", we weren't bashing you guys, just posting our thoughts about one thing on the site which we even gave ideas to them to help fix in the future. Apology Accepted. <_>

 

Anyways, here is Paul's response, I was going to post this yesterday, but was too tired to respond to it.

 

This comes up every once in a while. I don't know why, but it does. And most of the people on that board have no idea what they're talking about, and of the dozens of assumptions made about this site and the way it's run, only a few are true.

 

 

Here's the donation situation:

 

User donates a one-time (not monthly) donation of $30. This goes to pay monthly server fees, until they are paid, and the balance (if there even is one, which is rare) goes into the company bank account. Yes, the company account. Edge Emulation, Inc. is incorporated in the state of Florida, and is a seperate entity from Blah the website. Out of this company account come all business expenses, including pay. We hardly rake in profits. I'm a typical poor high school senior driving my parent's car and barely enough money to pay for gas. Other expenses include the servers mentioned on ******* (the ones we use for hosting), office expenses (rent, phone, fax, etc), and the ever-increasing fees (CPA, lawyer, etc.)

 

Simply put, we are your standard business, with an emulation site as one facet of the company. No different than Disney owning the ABC network, or AOL/TW and Viacom owning a little bit of everything. Diversity, in business situations, is a benefit.

 

So what other business ventures do we have? Web hosting, for one. Also, don't want to give out too many details, but Peter's got a retail store in the works right now, and that's our main focus. We're also planning on affiliation with a friend's company to do local computer repair / business computing solutions in our areas.

 

Why did I post this? It's not to justify myself to these naysayers. As a corporate entity, I could care less what people assume about our business practices. As a person, I feel that if donors who have donated are concerned as to where their money is going, they have a right to know.

 

What dissapoints me is that, my thoughts were basically correct. The money isn't just going to Blah, but the entire business, which means other sites that are note even emulation. He also didn't talk about the paying of roms which I thought was imperative for him to talk about, but of course he didn't. Post your thoughts here, I may post some more when I can free my mind since I ain't feeling so well today (got a runny nose).

Seriously, If you're stupid enough to pay for isos and not look for them yourself....
