No,
of course you don't have to be an old member to be able to use the search function. I neither said nor implied this! But are you surprised that new members aren't happy with restrictions they deem unnecessary and encounter for the first time?
The last time this topic got discussed was 2 years ago! So I thought it was long enough to talk about it again, since things may have changed.
7ZIP became a better archive format, games that weren't deemed worthy of preservation, because they weren't old enough or weren't already abandoned, may be worty now, and file sizes got bigger. Also, we may not be content with rips anymore, we may want the "full" game now.
Things change with time, and therefore there may be new reasons for discussion.
That's all I wanted, a new discussion, and that's all you wondered about. And that made
me wonder.
Better we let this point rest, ok?
