So the "rules" have evaporated into thin air? They are not written? In any event, they do not cover hosting builds on the wiki? They have not been communicated to me at any time?
Look, I don't mind that the developers wish me to host the build elsewhere. That's understandable. I've appreciated that they have allowed me to use the wiki for so long. If you'd just asked me nicely to find another hosting site and move it off to conform with the way other unofficial builds are handled, that would have been fine. It's the way it was done, by inventing a lot of fictitious nonsense about support and how the build was supposed to be just a bug fix, etc. All absolute rubbish.
