Personally I can completely vouch this statement, as I decided to peruse CDRomance just now after reading this reply... and noticed both of my undub romhacks I've made were just sitting there, listed alongside the other ROMs there.
Admittedly they were properly credited, barring one using my old username (but that was a RHDN being outdated moment lol). But nevertheless I straight up just didn't know they were up there at all, at least until I seeked out the site at all.
I suppose you could make the "Anything you put online is eventually going to be reuploaded/stolen" sorta argument here, as obviously I make my romhacks to be shared and played in any way! And it's not like they're taking/removing any credit when they upload pre-patched hacks.
But... at the same time I kinda don't wanna be associated with piracy that directly? Like, it just seems strange to list my Undub of Rhythm Heaven as just another version along the JP ROM. Like they're using these hacks being prepatched as a nice little incentive for visitors to prefer CDR over its contemporaries. It just feels sleazy.
I know it's ultimately an unrelated website to RHDO. Yet I still feel a bit... dirty giving such blind optimism just a mere few days ago in this very comment section. I just think there shouldn't be ANY hacks there unless they we're posted with permission from the author. And the way I see it, anything posted to this site is liable to be reuploaded over there, and I just kinda don't like that.
