There's no denying that this needs a major revision, however I'm unsure about the direction in which we should take this. On one hand, it is important that we make our information accessible. On the other hand, it is also important that we protect the site from those who would claim information on datacrystal as "theirs". (Datacrystal has dealt with this in the past, thus the language of the disclaimer; it was created as somewhat of a reactionary statement.) Furthermore, I'm inclined to wonder whether the FDL is actually fully compatible with the nature of our site; more input and discussion on this subject is certianly warranted. --[[User:Gau|Gau]] 07:57, 20 Oct 2005 (EDT)

Should some standards be laid out for the site? I'm seeing a few empty game pages, it has no rom hacks, or ROM/RAM submissions. I'd really like to delete the ones that have nothing in them.
