The site, started to go downhill, when the emulator author, didn't want the latest emulator hosted here.The admin took offence to this and pretty much has just said, sod it, I'm off.
Whether you agree or disagree with the decision and the reaction, that's what happened and happened a few years back now. So no point in going over it all again, it is what it is.
Anyway, after that, the site has pretty much been left to run itself, with minimal interaction from the admin and some updates to keep it up and running from thoses who are capable of doing such things.
It was still being fairly well used and a lot of layouts were uploaded both here and at Desertislandfruits (DIF). Both sites where still well worth being a member of.
Then the owner of DIF discovered that the main person selling on Ebay, fruit machine emulation DVD's was a long term, respected member of the fruit machine emulation scene for years. Several machine on the disk had been altered by the seller and various things, such as the write up about the disk, made it look like it was all their work.
That member was kicked from DIF and calls to ban them from here were also made.
The admin has yet to do that, so most of the regulars, stopped posting here. Several authors of layouts, stopped posting their layouts here and attempts are being made to stop the Ebay seller, from getting the latest emulator and also the layouts made for it.
Everything available here is available at DIF, except for a few layouts produced by the Ebay seller, which won't work on the latest emulator anyway. Geddy and others have archived FME layouts and more, since the beginning, so it's not true that everything has been stolen from here etc.... Some of the stuff, even predates this website.
Yes it's true that a lot of the older layouts may need work to get them fully working. But that is also the case here with them as well, but there are plenty of members over at DIF who help, if members run into trouble.
