Re: ataricade.com

For what it's worth I also can host a mirror on
mirrors.arcadecontrols.com. Server's been up for 11+ years and I don't
intend to go anywhere, and have the intent that if I ever hang it up I'll
loudly announce it ahead of time and look for someone to grab mirrors or
outright take over the domain and contents. I'd love to see a
decentralized group of mirroring hosts for important sites like this.
