google acquires XDA. will immediately begin controlling custom ROM dev
 

Some contributions and discussions regarding root methods will still be hosted, but the threads can be closed at a moment’s notice once Google can tighten up security through the findings.

How will other users get access to my contributions?

They will not, and our new policies are strict about that. You could even be fined if you repeatedly violate the new rules, so we don’t suggest doing so. We encourage you to read our updated Terms of Service once they are available.

What will happen to all current custom ROMs?

Every download link will be removed,

google attorneys will also become XDA moderators
