Xkeeper Took the board down in a blaze of glory, only to reveal how truly moronical ||bass is.                   Since: 11-17-05 From: Henderson, Nevada Last post: 6295 days Last view: 6295 days |

| xcomgs. Ease up on the flaming, regardless of how much better you think your site is. I will not tolerate flaming.
Anyway, I prefer datacrystal. More updates, better structure and orginization, more content. If I needed to find something about a ROM, I'd go there. Judging by the even the game list and a few sample checks, DC has more information anyway, better formatted, and large content seperated into different pages, as opposed to WRAM, which just shoves it all in your face and makes an editing nightmare. Just my $0.015. |

| A game doesn't have to be a ROM hack whore for me to touch it. (thinking in backwards order) Knuckles' Chaotix, Lumines, Sonic Rush, Gunstar Heroes, Dragon Ball Advance Adventure, Puzzle Bobble, and who can forget Sonic Advance 3? You guys can keep hacking Mario Bros. 3 which has been done quite a few times (however doesn't get old) or, you can be someone who respects more modern games and HAXORS away.
j/k, I ROM hack for fun, not for you guys. Do what you want and have a blast doing it. Although this community isn't very big on the whole "modern" gaming thing. That's cool too. |

Originally posted by xcomgs One of the main reasons I prefer Data Crystal to WikiRAM is that the guys who run it aren't doing it to inflate their ego. They are actually trying to help the ROM hacking community, and create a worthwhile resource. You are just trying to get "respect" without putting much effort in. WikiRAM has very little organization, a trained monkey could see that. I would also say that WikiRAM doesn't have much data on it either. They both aren't very good in that respect. However, I'd rather add data to Data Crystal than to WikiRAM. Namely, because Data Crystal has a set of formatting rules that pages should adhere to. WikiRAM it's just stick it in the wiki, screw formatting. Finding useful information in pages of people's messed up notes is a complete pain in the ass. I can't see the importing of .nl files in WikiRAM, in fact the only mention is that it is on the to-do list. So that point doesn't really count. Working on Data Crystal is the only ROM hacking related work I do now. |

| That, and when Data Crystal approached xcom, noting they had similiar ideas, he refused to help them or add to them. BOTH of you would profit much more from helping eachother rather than taking this as some kind of idiotic rivalry. If you can't see past that, xcom, you have no place running WikiRAM.
I'll put it this way. Look at how much time TEK and DES spent fighting. Do you even think for one second that any of that was constructive? That it helped contribute something to anything? |

| I mean, what can I do to help Wikiram, send over dome dumb n00b to Datacrystal in hopes that his sheer n00bness will somehow destroy them?
Anyway, all joking aside, the rom hacking community has never been one much for unity. We are all different people doing different things differently. Perhaps having competition in the hacking wikis might spur some interest. It's apparent that Datacrystal isnt everybody's cup of tea. That's good. Choice is good. The scene might be dying, but don't forget that there are still lots of people our ages and interest who haven't made it to rom hacking yet. Advertise. Perhaps we need a new term so we can take out the hacking part, which could get many to believe we are doing somthing like hacking computers and implanting a virus. |

Originally posted by DanOriginally posted by xcomgs Inflate my ego?! WTF? Who said I was doing it because of that. You don't even know me asshole. I made WikiRAM to help the community. We also have a set of rules which are soon to be revised. The .NL importing is down. Once we get it back up with all the bugs out, we will be back in business as for a layout, it comes along with the .NL importing. |

| Let's keep this constructive please. They both have thier pros and cons. As far as I'm concerned though they both are pretty weak right now. I'm more partial to Data Crystal for thier layout despite the fact that it doesn't have as much actual data for the games I'm interested in. I might try to help out with that though.Personally, I think a big problem is that it took a Scene Death thread for anyone to actually give a crap. I mean this board is crawling along, but this thread is the most active (and I mean active by a bunch of different users, some of which I don't think I've even seen post since the board came back) out of any other one. I just think people aren't putting the effort in, and then talking about why there's problems. | |||
