No we are not asking him to close down his site, what we are asking though is he ceases mimicking the official site and forums that are located here unless he has explicit permission from the project leaders.
The dolphin-emulator name, logo and forum are all very similar to the official dolphin-emu.com name, logo and forums.
This is all that is being asked of him is to change these things, not shut down his entire site or stop providing builds. Everyone is still able to provide builds, just that I urge ector to reconsider allowing external sites that are not explicitly related to the official project site and forum from being advertised on the official forums.
Personal site links are to be kept in signatures, if members want to provide builds either attach the file as an attachment or upload to a file sharing service. Links to personal sites should be kept out of posts and threads as it's construed as unsolicited advertising. These forums are not an advertising platform for members to advertise their sites regardless of whether or not they are providing a useful service for others to take advantage of.
