Hello everyone from DCEmulation.com,
My name is 007Cheater and I’m the creator and owner of DCEmulation.com, a previous staff member has *hacked* the old site by destroying everything on dcemulation.com and moved it to his own servers without permission. Not only is this illegal and I will be pursuing legal action if not resolved, this is extremely disrespectful to me the creator of DCEmu and the willful host of DCEmu for many years.
I trusted this individual very much and everything he has done is deceitful, hateful, and disrespectful. I am in the process of bringing the site back to its original state, if you know anything about this matter or would like to help please contact me at seany187 (at) seanbryant.com.
The IRC Channel has also been taken over, please visit the original channel irc.cheatlist.com channel #dcemu, the channel #dcemulation is a fraud!
Thank you!
*Update 5*
www.dcemulation.com is back up and opperational as the old site with old downloads, original tutorials, etc…still need to get a few things running, forums have been restored however I am having some minor issues with them.
*Update 6*
The forums should be up shortly along with the rest of the site working by end of day today, I am removing all mods and admins because I am not sure who I can trust at this point, if anyone spams the board they will be banned.
*Update 7*
Forums are backup! Good for referencing past posts, and previous tutorials etc… Post spam and you will be banned. Also got most functions back working like CD Covers, FAQs, stuff that hasn’t been up in ages.

what have they done, they have stolen the sites, use your power to get the law on them and bring them down, btw the subsites all link to the .org too instead of .com
i would personally bring back a backup of the sites and email the server admin and police and prosecute those involved.

I am depressed to hear what happened to DCemu. I am glad your working to restore it. Why did he want to destroy the site anyway?

Interesting that this happened. I must say that I do agree with the action, though not in the way in which it was done. Dreamcast Fan, please be aware that Sean Bryant hasn’t contributed any content to this site in years, and I really hope this does not become a legal issue.
Sidenote: I had nothing at all to do with this action, knew nothing about it, and have only been on the Internet once to check email in the past two days.

Any updates on this?
March 28th, 2008 at 8:38 am
interesting development indeed…

Yeah I have heard the story told very differently on some other sites…
Kind of hard who to believe. But from what I gather you (the site owner) actually didn’t do any work and just took money from running adverts.
Which really you are entitled to do (as you owned the site) - But did you actually own the content on the site?
If others were putting stuff up and writing stuff, and images were being used taken from other companies (like Sega), can you really try to take the data back?
-As I say I don’t know quite who to believe. But if what has been said elsewhere is true, then I don’t think you have too much legal ground to stand on (you could probably get the site name/domain back… but not sure about the content…)

When will DCEmu return?
April 2nd, 2008 at 8:07 am
Hope this gets resolved soon. Where am I to complain about games that everybody else likes?
I am not a 100% sure what the situation was here. However from what I did see we had some disgruntled members who didn’t like the fact there was a link to Seanbajuice.com on the main page? It seems irrelevant if 007cheater as contributed anything recently to the site or not. If he owns the site he is free to do whatever he wants with it IMO. I do agree the link didn’t need to be in the news section but its hardly a excuse to destroy the site.
Anyways just my opinion on it. Oh any by the way when you try to go straight to the forums it redirects to http://www.seanbajuice.comphpbbs. There is no / in there so it gives a bad website.

Forums DO NOT seem to be back up unless there is something I am missing? Last several days it has been page not found error.
