>such were the levels of toxicity involved that at one point a senior staff member at 86box was bouncing around ideas mid-tirade speculating that a PCem contributor was in a sexual relationship with the project lead (put less delicately), this being drawn from the fact that they occasionally said good things about the project in public forums. I've been following this for 9 years now and this is the first I've heard of this. Literally. In short, I literally don't believe you -and considering that there was at least one hanger-on who used to kick up dust between the two projects in the name of "defending" 86box (but in reality was just acting out their own behavioral issues) I'd advise everyone to blow off personality-based issues like this. > I don’t really think it’s something that should affect anyone else’s decision to use the program at all - it’s very much an individual distaste for it on my part. Obviously you do think it is or you would not have posted a huge long allegations-filled screed (filled with dubious allegations of a sexual affair) on the subject. The 86Box lead has expressed regret for his early behavoirs many, many times but sadly the emulator scene attracts a lot of drama and worse people who thrive off of drama. The 86Box project itself, however, is one of the better handled non-professional (meaning not run by a corporation) that I'm aware of. And the software itself has gotten better and better over the years. I'd strongly advise everyone reading about 86box just in general to be particularly aware that just because you read a claim on the internet doesn't make it the lords' gospel truth.
