Hello everyone, I would like to clarify a few things.
First, when we ran the article in question, PPCGeeks was offline. We did not have time, nor access to do exhaustive checking of who-did-what.
Second, as we've stated in the article's comments (which few, if anyone that have posted complaining have read fully), we did not credit individuals because of that reason, as well as the fact that ROM releases are never handled by a single individual.
In the past, we did credit individuals in the hacking community for our consolidated guides. However, we received complaints from those that supported those hackers we cited.
As you can see, we're darned if we do, and darned if we don't. We're in our fifth year of doing this day by day, and we do have to make tough decisions in this regard. However, we're confident that we gave appropriate credit to the entire hacking community for pulling this out of the recent developments.
In this thread alone, there has been debate and discussion as to who should be credited. We simply don't have the resources, nor the niche-level focus to properly handle that.
Finally, to the above poster, we have approved your comment and responded to it. We're all about improving the hacking community, we only remove discussion that is blatantly argumentative or crude.
