So, as  Arisotura posted, we're moving the NSMB Hacking Community to RHCafe, where the data we've accumulated over the last five years is safe in the possible event that the site goes down. Without  Dirbaio around to manage the board, there's not much we can do if disaster strikes, and so after careful consideration and debate we've decided on the move.

From 2009 I've watched that little jul.rustedlogic subforum grow, until the community was big enough to expand into its own board in 2011 with board.dirbaio.net, which then became known as the New Super Mario Bros. Hacking Domain.

The board's biggest pride was our range of enthusiastic, creative hackers and gamers alike who worked hard to make fun new hacks to play, and the community environment that was friendly and welcoming.

Now that we've properly settled as a small, but niche hacking community, we don't need so much space anymore, and the RHCafe subforum will be uncluttered and resourceful.

For those of you wondering, this site isn't going anywhere. I'll still be here, managing the forums and whatnot. The move to RHCafe is just a preparation for the worst of scenarios.

So I'm still confused, will the community just pretty much split into 2? That's a horrible idea. A way to sync the posts in RHCafe to here and vice versa would be amazing. I don't want to ever leave this domain. I've spent too much time here.

The syncing function would allow users to post from whichever board they prefer (this one in my case) while everything is still stored in the RHCafe database. Just an idea, but I think this would be a PERFECT move IMO.

Well, the RHCafe subforum will become the main place for NSMB Hacking, but this place will pretty much... still exist, for however long the site stays up, because we honestly don't know.

That's basically the jist of it.

I also hope there's a last posts button on rhcafe specifically for NSMB. As I said in the other thread, I pride myself on going on every single day to check every post. I don't want the last posts page to be cluttered with wiiu hacking stuff.

You can ignore all forums you are not interested into. There might be a "Ignore Forum" button added on the main forums so you do not have to click "Ignore Forum" on all subforums.

Wait no. Ignore forum does not affect Last posts

There might be a solution in the future.

NO
Shit. That sucks.

Hang on. Dirbaio's last view was 1 day ago. Do you think he's seen this and is just not doing anything?

Dirbaio, if you're reading this, please give staple root access. He already runs a very good, stable board.
I really don't want to give up on this site. Please.
I don't think much good will come out of this split. I fear NSMB hacking will end up like SM64 hacking- 1 or 2 big, active hacks, and then nothing. People not truly dedicated to NSMB hacking will move to NSMBU hacking, because it's newer, more things are being discovered, no tileset limitations (iirc), more stuff in general, etc.

Also slightly off topic but how can I download the NSMBHD background?

Yea, he was online. But only on the main page for like 30 seconds.

 Arisotura left  Dirbaio a giant message on the forums list like a week ago and still no response

*sigh* it's over then.

Sorry if this is annoying, but can someone get that NSMBHD background for me? Yes, the castle background behind the posts.

Edit: Nevermind, got it.

It's probably a better idea to close this board. Leaving it open will lead to shit getting split between the two places, and we don't want to have to deal with that.


Anyway, yeah, it's been a nice ride. And it's going on. ROM hacking is an expression of creativity that doesn't limit itself to corporate walled gardens, that is precious in this era where everything is becoming similar, locked-down, same-for-everyone consumer toys.

Yeah. I'll miss this place. I don't know why I seem so emotionally attached. I even set the NSMBHD background as my layout background at RHCafe.

basically, dirbaio said on the IRC that he still maintains the server, and that he thinks moving to RHCafe is a bad idea :p

edit: ninja'd in the other thread
