It is private. It is, afaik, your personal website. Sourceforge has a lot more chance of staying around and staying maintained than any particular server run by a single individual such as yourself. > As a >> contributor, supporter and user of this project, I do not support >> this move. > > Are you saying you are contributing to this further?

Complain to whoever maintains the web page, not myself. I've not had a GP2X for years. Does this mean I'm not using ArcEm or playing with other ports? No. >> Ultimately I can see you do whatever you wish to any project anyway. > > Do you really think such a petty comment is conducive to constructive > conversation here? Yes. The point is that you are widely known to steal projects, pull them in to your own domain, alienate others on the projects, including the original developers in certain cases, apply your own personal seal of mess to the project, NOT further the project yourself, and ultimately cause the project harm. > I'm happy to consider options here, but do you really think having > ArcEm stagnate for all time on SF is the best bet? Having it on SF in whatever state is a magnitude better plan than having it on a private server. I don't think you really understand the concept of open source. It lives wherever. You're free to have a copy of the source, or a fork, or whatever you will, on your own server, but trying to get a public resource closed down like this is helping nobody but your own personal ego to apparently need to own and control everything you can get your mitts on. I suggest you cease and dissist doing this. I. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
