bout fuckin time.. even gayass dcwarez forum was up.. glad to see the real forum is back.. isonews you havent let me down.. :)
-
I would also like to congratulate krazy8, mandarin, and RomRacer for handling this whole matter in as much of a mature and panic-free manner as could be expected under such circumstances. isonews and its ragtag group of admins went through a period of being chastized by its users for "backing down to Sega" while, at the same time, being threatened with huge legal damages by Sega's enforcers (read Dan "Guido" Harris). Hopefully some of the stuff the admins did during this time (and wisely have kept a low profile about) will deter Sega & Co. from going through with its nasty lawsuit, but if push comes to shove, I think isonews will be the one left standing. In sum, nice job guys and SCREW YOU SEGA.

good, as someone else said, maybe the other forums wont be plagued with all the annoying DC questions like how to burn game x, how to burn self bootable etc etc....
-
i win!

just thought id say im very happy that dc board is back dc rules! :P ps2 is crap so far
-
Well, here it as - like we promised!! Our lawyer has finally settled into her new law teaching job at Stanford and is ready to represent us 110% now utilizing all her resources. Now we will just wait and see if Harris decides to file suit or we can see if we called his bluff. Enjoy!
Now, everything DC scene related is allowed. Scene talk, group chat, ripping, etc. DIRECT LINKS are still NOT ALLOWED and will be deleted immediately. Try to be smart with your posts.

PS. rather than flaming incoming dc people, PLEASE direct them to the new DJ faq and whatnot. lets keep it peaceful, informative and as LEGAL as possible. Thanks guys! you all rock!

although other DC forums did stay up, we went the safest route we could possibly go. as these other sites are a dime-a-dozen, we wanted to 110% guarantee we would stil be around so we waited to re-open them when our lawyer could always be there for us. I promise those other sites are acting tough now, but once they are served with papers will cry like 4 year old misfits - this is when we will be standing in court with the best cyberlaw lawyer out there laughing the whole time! thanks to all our supporters, too!! if anyone has any faq additions or suggestions or whatnot, please feel free to make them here. we always listen. :)

So we're finally back in action... with regular moderation going on, useless posts will probably be kept to a minimum.
On second thought, no, that won't be the case... but, ah well. Anyway, it's nice to see everyone back. :)
-
nice one!
good to see the dc forum back up :D
i never once doubted i would see the word 'dreamcast' under the forum titles again.
keep up the good work guys (and gals).
(boring msg, i know, but its appreciation :P)

...where can i download illegal Dreamcast ISOz?
how do i burn a Dreamcast ISO?
how do I copy a game that I rented from Blockbuster?
how do I get on a topsite to download Dreamcast ISOz?
how do I get XYZ Release by ZYX group to burn right?
how do I sell all the games I burn on eBay?
hehe, don't answer people, just thought i'd throw out a bad joke.
for anyone that doesn't get it, these are questions that shouldn't be asked/answered. except maybe some about burning problems, for those I think you should check out the Disc Juggler FAQ (misc -> faq)
:)

Just like to thank ISONEWS and there lawyer who all stuck to there guns and showed SEGA talking about warez and doing it are two differnt things, and should be delt with in seprate ways. CONGRADS GUYS......
-
Yay.
Let's hope this helps clear some DC clutter out of the other sections.
-
Nice to see it back....
Thanks guys
-
yeah azrael69 hit up that joke like 8 posts ago, dumbass. It was funny the first time.
p.s. I'm am so glad too see the word Dreamcast under the console section.....what a minute did someone already say this...j/k..no really i am.
.sith.
-
I'd like to commend the people of iSONEWS for making a very good decision.
-
OMG. My prayers have been answered.
Until now I never thought there would be anything like these feelings ever again.
1) The first time I burned a DC Game.-I don't think there is any other feeling on earth. My eyes' lit up when Ready 2 Rumble 2 went past the SEGA logo.
2)When the DC Forum on isonews was shutdown.- After constant bitching and moaning I realized that there was hope that it would be reopened.(thanx mandy)
But this has to be the icing on the cake. To visit the site as usual and see the word Dreamcast under the Console forum section. *Sniff* *Sniff* -Thanx in advance guys.
-
is this where i request illegal warez?
(joke)
