Hi everyone,
I am writing this to inform you that I have voluntarily taken Crocdb offline for the time being.
Recently, my hosting provider received a severe DMCA takedown notice regarding content indexed on this site. As many of you know, Crocdb has always operated strictly as an aggregator/indexer; I do not host any ROMs or copyrighted files on this server. I simply point to sources available elsewhere.
Despite this, the enforcement agency has pressured my host, and I have been given an ultimatum: remove the site or have my server IP permanently locked.
Since I am just one person running this project in my free time, and because I am currently very busy with my personal life, I do not have the time to fight this legal/technical battle right this second. To protect the server infrastructure, I have complied with the request.
I intend to find a solution to get us back online in the future, but I cannot give an ETA right now.
Thank you for using Crocdb, and thank you for understanding.
