This is oddly common in ROM hacking/mod scenes. There's been no shortage of drama in the Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy Tactics communities, too.

At the very least I wish people would consider the bus test once a site/project gets to a certain critical mass. Insane to me that a site with this kind of profile never had coverage for that scenario this entire time.
