Unless any of them have already abandoned ship, maybe they're still stuck somewhere on ztnet server Retrogames.com forums? *kidding*
I liked and occasionally posted on forums there, but the MAME.net forums continually kept getting either "when will CPS-2 be emulated?" or "where find CPS-2 roms?" every other day. And even after Haze opened up a dedicated CPS-2 forum to draw that crowd away from MAME.net, there would still be occasional same CPS-2 questions showing up on old MAME.net forums. twisty did a good job filtering out and preventing that stuff from happening on MW forums.
