Question ISO Cellar game entries

I've been wondering, why so many ISO-Cellar games do not have respective entries on the main site (for example Caesar III, Dune 2000)?

Most CD images are not hosted on the site but on file sharing sites.

I think Kalii has a point, why do we not even see a hint that a game is in the ISO cellar when we search for it in the main page? That would be nice

Because nobody wrote a review for them?

Well, when I offered to do the review for Toonstruck (game I shared in the ISO cellar) they told me that ISO Cellar games don't have reviews on site. I can't remember who was, but it was a staff person, not just random guy. So maybe you need to establish some policy regarding ISO Cellar reviews?

If there's a game which can be ripped (or already has an existing rip) to a size that would fit on the main site, then it's valid.

And if it's too big it deserves no introduction, screenshots or review on this site?

If it's too big, we can't afford the amount of bandwidth usage it would generate. Every game on the site is downloaded circa 10 times every day - new ones easily double or triple that. Not impressive? Multiply that by 24 days and several hundred megabytes that ISO would take up.

That the site is free for the end users doesn't mean Abandonia receives its hosting from someone's charity and goodwill, you know.
