Yes, despite my own feelings and/or use of warez, I don't publically advocate the use or promotion of them in any of my websites, chat rooms, etc... so go away.
I'm the bawss.

Just to make one thing clear. A NEWB is someone who is new to the game, a noob, or n00b is someone who a player who may or may not be new to Renegade, but insists on doing brainless things, especially things that hinder the team. Such examples are using the "cool blue gun" to "shoot" an enemy or his vehicle, or placing proximity C4 in the middle of the field. Those who are defined by this site as "n00bs" will also refuse to listen to words of wisdom or, even worse, berate those who try to help. (taken from n00bstories.com)
Or in your case someone who, with overwhelming evidence of ignorance and idiocy continues to do the same thing, despite being told when to stop, or that what they are doing is wrong. (ok, not an exact definition, but I think it's close enough. If someone has a better one, feel free to improve upon or correct mine)

I must make an apology to sjezk3. I did some further research into the legality of roms and I discovered something. Since roms fall under the title of 'software' distributing roms can be legal.
However there is a catch.

by the reproduction or distribution, including by electronic means, during any 180-day period, of 1 or more copies or phonorecords of 1 or more copyrighted works, which have a total retail value of more than $ 1,000 shall be punished as provided under section 2319 of title 18, United States Code.

To explain it, you can distribute Roms, but only so much. Considering the retail value is, we'll say about $50 US just for simplicity. You cannot distribute more than 20 roms every 180 days. So, if you limit the number of downloads to 20 every 180 days, I won't have a problem with you keeping your site up.
And yes it's easy to check if this limit has been implemented.
Just to let you know the legal course if the law is broken...

"(1) shall be imprisoned not more than 3 years, or fined in the amount set forth in this title, or both, if the offense consists of the reproduction or distribution of 10 or more copies or phonorecords of 1 or more copyrighted works, which have a total retail value of $ 2,500 or more;
"(2) shall be imprisoned not more than 6 years, or fined in the amount set forth in this title, or both, if the offense is a second or subsequent offense under paragraph (1); and
"(3) shall be imprisoned not more than 1 year, or fined in the amount set forth in this title, or both, if the offense consists of the reproduction or distribution of 1 or more copies or phonorecords of 1 or more copyrighted works, which have a total retail value of more than $ 1,000.
|
by the way, thats not 20 of each rom, thats 20 roms in total.
EDIT: just put in this last line.

Your a shithead. Honostly.
Yes its illegal, because ROMS are only legal if you yourself have a legally owned copy of what your hosting a ROM for. Same goes for Emulators.
And how is it not warez? Warez in my opinian, is any distribution of Applications, Games, Cracks, Serials, for free without owning it yourself, thus, your site gives out games.
