As I'm sure you all noticed, we got a brand new updater 'round 'ere. He's been tireless in our forums, specially in the unforgiving work of deleting spam and keeping the environment free of these stupid bots. Now he's doing maintenance and newsposts on the main site as well, so this is the best news this month, all welcome Bakkelun the retro-viking!

Bakkelun's timing couldn't be better. I got buried in work here, so he took care of things for around a week while I disappeared. I'm still buried in work, but alive again it seems. I'll try to respect our schedule from now on. :)

Today I refused one application because the site was not related to abandonware. One other applicant is still sitting there because I could not review his site (was offline tonight), I'll take another look at it tomorrow. And the moment you were all waiting, WE HAVE A NEW MEMBER!! Yeah! All welcome The game archives! TGA is your usual quick-and-dirty list of links to files with no review or pictures to look at, only they have thousands of games in their database, specially very old roms (Commodore, Atari, MSX etc).

In other news I've been refusing updates from a certain site for some time now... they always send in an update notice but show no changes in their site... lest I make a sad misjudgment, and since I can't really read the site properly, I'm not saying their name, but I hope their webmaster either make their changes more obvious or stop trying to exploit our update tool here. If you think I don't review the sites, you're wrong. I know there's a chance you're actually making minor changes to your site, but if we can't spot a change, it's not really important enough to be featured on our home page.
