You want a host that's willing to take the risk of allowing you to host ILLEGAL material? Yeah....right! There aren't ANY hosts that will allow you to host ROMs. Period! Why not try making a LEGAL site instead?

(Don't waste your time or mine telling me how ROMs are legal as long as you put some bull---- disclaimer up. That's idiotic and NOT TRUE! They're ILLEGAL whether you think they are or not.)

Just a note of warning to all you pirates out there...

Time and time again, people have tried to hide behind disclaimers. What people should know is that in most cases, especially in warez or ROMs cases, disclaimers mean squat in a legal sense.

Unless you have enough capital to hire lawyers and defend yourself against giants, this is a certainty.

Now, this is not directed at you Bobo, and if you have legal ROMs thats fine. Most hosts have no problems with legal ROMs...but also most hosts cant tell, and when in doubt, they'll delete your account.

There is always some clause in the user agreement saying that they can delete for any reason, even a whim...so this, I think, will be your main problem. In your case, I would try to go with a smaller host, where you can plead you case directly to the webmaster...
