Some of you may have noticed that the Arcade is currently disabled. There have been a string of websites shut down in the recent week for hosting illegally coded games. I have not installed any illegal games, nor do I ever intend to. However, there is a gray area about which games are allowed and which are not.

I will not ever knowingly host games that were not arcade-coded without the original author's consent. However, until I find a comprehensive list of allowed games I am going to leave the arcade disabled while I straighten it out.

If you are a game author and your game has been hosted here and you have not given proper consent to have it coded for ibProArcade, contact me immediately and I will have the game removed.

I apologize to fans of the arcade (I'm sure kdogg must be upset ) and to any game authors that I have unintentionally posted the work of without their permission. Please be certain that I will do everything in my power to protect the intellectual property of those authors who make these great games.

It's the curse of Rock! I register for the forums and two days later, BAM! No arcade! Why me?!

Next, Chefelf's hair's gonna fall out! Sorry, Chefelf

I'm gonna have to find something else to do at work now. Perhaps I'll take up smoking.

Not if you want to keep your job!

I have been absent from the arcade for months. I should get back into trying to get those high scores again once the arcade goes back up.

Has the arcade even been up for months?

[Despondent]

Awww man.

I was striving to get Mini-billiard down to six shots from eleven.

Sure. A few months I believe.

A worthy cause.

I'm going to leave the arcade disabled until further notice. Lots of craziness going on in the "arcade scene" about what games are legal and which are not. I don't want to unknowingly host any unauthorized games.

I am jonesing for my Asteroids.

Must ... play ... asteroids!

Okay, the arcade is back up and running. I apologize for the down time.

To the best of my knowledge, all unauthorized games have been removed. Chefelf.com will do everything in its power to make sure that every game in the arcade has the consent of the game's author. Unfortunately some great games are lost, but the game author's wishes must be respected.

If you are a game author and you want to have your game removed, contact me and I will remove the game immediately.

Thanks to everyone for their patience. Hopefully things are sorted out now.

Closed.
