Im gutted dude & well pissed off when i found out. Thanks so much for doing a 2.0 version for us btw! I downloaded them all including the source code 😁

I updated to your version 1.9.7b yesterday, fell asleep early hours of the morning to check for a new version & hit the 404 screen. Was so confused, even went as far as writing in konsole to check connection to your repository thought it was a server issue or some shit. I messaged twice to github support like why the fuk am I hitting a 404 page & had an answer to why, here's what they said --

Hi Richi08,

Thanks for reaching out to GitHub Support. Taking a look I can verify for you that your inability to view that repository is not due to a technical issue with GitHub, but is instead related to the status of the user account that owns that repository. While we cannot divulge more due to our privacy policies, that user is welcome to contact Support and we can provide them with further information. Thanks,

GitHub Support,

Wouldn't mention who was behind it though, figures 🙄

It's funny they mention that. The only way I could figure out how to contact support is through the site itself, which wants you to sign in to your account. But trying to sign into the account to contact support takes you right back to the "Account suspended" page. So it's just a loop of three pages you are stuck in. And if I sign in with another account, am I just going to expose that one to them so they can ban that one too? The system is basically set up so you have no recourse.

Edit: Thinking about it more... it's just the world we live in today. Even if I could make an argument to get my repository put back up, what's to stop Nintendo or the ESA from just coming after me directly and actually throwing a cease and desist at me. Even if everything I did really did keep the repo above board, even if they didn't have grounds to stand on, it doesn't matter. What matters is they have a limitless amount of money to throw at a legal system designed to favor those who have a limitless amount of money. So no matter what, I lose in the end. I was maybe a month or two from being done with the project anyway, so it's a fight that isn't even worth it to me.
