Now we all know this story by now.
A few days ago, TBF (TheBetaFox) reported this site to SEGA. Thus, they told John to remove the Roms off of the site. Now here we are, ROMless. But does that mean the end of the world? No, no it doesn't. Sonic ROMs had every last Sonic ROM in existence neatly arranged, and packed onto one site. Now that those are gone, it's as if all hell broke loose with some of you. A lot of you are also targeting TheBetaFox. Now I know that would he did was just plain irritating, but you shouldn't have to target it him over ABANDON WARE ROMS. These ROMs are decade ages old, and can be found on one of the MILLIONS OF ROM SITES across the Net.
C'mon, there are many, many, many choices of good sites to get these ROMs from. Let me give you a few:
http://www.emuparadise.me/ (http://www.emuparadise.me/)
http://doperoms.com/ (http://doperoms.com/)
http://coolrom.com/ (http://coolrom.com/)
Those are just to name a few. Listen people, these games are only gone from THIS site, not the entire Worldwide Web. But chin up, the V.I.P Sonic Downloads are still up & functional, so what is there to complain about? Exactly.

you put it in better words than i would of.
Yes, that's the proper & respectful way to do it my friend.
All Sonic games were removed from the site.
In agreement, though. TheBetaFox did what he knew was right and helped to prevent piracy. Honestly having never used the games, I don't see a problem.

Now I need to copy SADX to a disc. If I ever lose my compy I can't hack it again. That's what worries me. :C

The Sonic V.I.P Games are still active, Tana. And I think Beta had his own.....reason. But either way, those ROMs were still Abandon Ware (Except the DS). And John did give credit to SEGA. But meh. Comme La Vie (Such as Life).

I am also Black my friend. But I still can be proper & respectful. Being a certain color is no excuse for knowing how to act in certain situations.
The VIP games are active. But not the Sonic ones. TheBetaFox had a perfectly good reason and I do respect it. Those games are still being sold. (mega collection, classics, gems, VC, Arcade), so they are not Abandonware if they still have a selling form.
If it was legal, Sega wouldn't be here.

Okay, so technically their not Abandonware. But I'm telling you THE SONIC V.I.P GAMES ARE INDEED STILL ACTIVE! Check for yourself.
Try downloading one. I'm pretty sure John disabled them..
(I'm on my 3DS, I can't check)

The only good that I see coming from this is that more people will be tempted to buy Sonic Generations now that it wont be hosted here. I'd love to see another Gens style game.

If this is true ignore my post.
I did try downloading one, and it started as it normally would have. Nothing has changed.
That's odd. John edited the list and everything..
Screw the rules he wears glasses

It was a joke.
the sonic vip stuff are gone :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
@Manic:
...says the vip that had the chance to get vip roms before I knew about this site.
You know, there are still non-VIP downloads. And non-Sonic VIP downloads.
Looks like John got rid of the Sonic V.I.P Downloads today. Meh, torrents.

:| Like I said before...OTHER ROM SITES.
I could care less about there not being any Roms, because Manic already said you can get them else where, and most people already have the Roms/games they want.
I could care less about the Roms.
I know the ROMs don't seem like much of a big deal, but even so. It was the trademark of the site, and now that it's gone...feels kinda empty in a way.

Indeed. It is a bit empty here. But still, you can chat with other people that play Sonic here, something I can't do at my school. XS

I'm well aware of what I can do, dude. Lol.
Trolol, get the roms somewhere else
You know, we still have a forum and community...

Yeah. It's not like John had to shut the entire thing down, which is good.
as long as we can still get ROMS then im ok...
i don't see a problem on this TheBetaFox has did the right thing
I got my roms from other websites.

You and a lot of other people. But we're talking about sonic roms in general. =P
I am unaffected. But that is too bad about the whole Rom thing... :)

True, but the hard to get a not broken copy of a rom "Sonic the Fighters" has now lost it's one surefire reliable location that is sure to not be a broken copy. Can someone please tell me of a site where it's not broken? I'm not asking for a direct link to the not broken copy, I just wanna know which site will have a fully working copy of it. Forgive me if I'm breaking the rules if I am. I'm just desperate for a working Sonic the Fighters rom, which is rare. If my old computer wasn't broken, I could get it from there.
