And another thing to the moderators. You better start checking everyone's signatures. I just download abandonware from people's sites all the time. I get those links from their sites, which are usually in their signatures.
Someone IS being a bit unfair to franko, that is for certain.
If you want to apply rules, they must apply to all here.

They do apply to everyone. Moderators don't check every sig link, but we do check when something is reported. Franko's pirate site was pointed out to me this morning, no one has ever reported it before. If someone else is linking to pirate kickstart roms, click the report button.
I personally do not care about abandonware, up to and including KS ROMS. The truth of the matter is the TOS includes this for a specific reason. In years past this website has received credible legal threats which prompted the rule. Wayne clarified this rule a few years back to where general discussion of piracy is allowed, but linking to specific pirate software is stil not. Kickstart roms are still legally licensed and legally available as a commerical product (see Amiga Forever).
You could ask Pyromania to relax the rule even further if you wish.
