I'm sure it doesn't say that it's a permanent change, and if all the
server woes go away, then surely it could be changed back.
Personally, I think "the server keeps dying" is easily a good enough
reason, as we've been told it's the volume of recordings that causes
problems. And when there's no server there are no pages you can
download or upload files from/to.

I just think that the lame scores are wasting system resources, and
therefore clogging up the scripts. And as for a self-imposed bottom
of 5 points isn't there already a limit as there already scores there
scoring no points. Isn't the idea of a leaderboard to show the best
scores?
<p>
If I scored 100k on Galaga (which I haven't) I wouldn't upload it
anyway, because it is a lame score. But when people upload scores for
100's of games, when all it looks like they've done is load, record,
play and quit a game, without even going back to it to try and
improve the score, then I'm all for banning them.

marp.retrogames.com is not a backup for your input files. I keep all
mine locally, and there are some I haven't uploaded.
