Well, it would definately be an easy and quick way to get started. I'm not in any rush myself because I've got some other things to do first, and for a while now I've been more interested in platformers. Maybe it would be a good way to get something started that people will feel confident about actually going somewhere. I think my interests would involve programming (which of course is obsolete with RPG Maker), and maybe designing some dungeons and other map related things.

As I said in a chat to Blackhole89, it's not quantity but quality for me. And I do not mind this being our closeknit corner as a forum, even if the activity might not necessarily be as high as bigger forums. 
Posted by blackhole89It would be fruitless in my attempt since everyone I know are either not into the stuff this board covers, or already knows about it. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

I like this new theme blackhole89! It feels refreshing, and is easy on the eyes. I didn't know until I read your post that this was meant to convey "despair." I felt like this board was due for a theme change anyway.
How I feel about the board? I still check it every now and then. I would rather it stay to be honest with you. As you said, there are lot of factors that are the reason why this board has been slow, but it can always turn around. People who loved ROM hacking, probably don't have the time anymore. Real life gets in the way. Not to mention the toughness of the world economy is making it hard on a lot of people to do the things they want to do, they are struggling just to survive. I am optimistic. I think this place could get very active again. I say that based on what I did for TEK Hacks back in the day. We were dead just like this board, and I went around, recruited members who loved ROM hacking, and asked them to join, and a few months later, before you know it, TEK Hacks was booming. It was so awesome, and I was so happy! Also, as the new generation of kids grows up, they started with systems like the PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, and they probably don't know much about the retro systems like we do, so they are not even interested in them, much less ROM hacking. I say keep this place open. Just for the sake of the ROM hackers who enjoy doing what they love doing. As for the flame wars, the trolling, all that other negative crap, I never cared for it, even on the old Acmlm boards or anywhere else, but you deal with that when this place gets busier again. Don't encourage it, just be more relaxed about things like "one word" posts. There have been times on other boards where I felt like making a post just to say "NICE!" because it was so awesome what I saw. If I did that here, I would get a warning for making a one-word post. A post is post. Posts that are considered really out of place should get the warning. Moderators should use good judgement. Perhaps this forum could use some cleaning up for the New Year. Delete all of the posts in the Landfill. Who wants to see that? It promotes negativity. In fact, maybe we shouldn't have a Landfill forum. It might put off a new person who comes to the board. I don't know, it's just a guess. Only keep things positive. I wouldn't display trash threads for people to see. Some board fix ups, like adding page numbers at the top of the forum pages, adding a Favorite Post button, to favorite a post that you really like, encourage post layouts, have contests for post layouts, keep things fun and positive. And please, no more of that random Dodongo that appears in the upper-left corner. It's really old already.
We have the Way Back Machine. Take a look back at what made Acmlm so great to begin with, and make it work here. We can have all of the activity in the world again. That, I really do believe can happen. So, that being said, Happy New Year!  ____________________ My YouTube Channel |

Well, I'm very new here, only joined a week ago.
However, I think that is a good perspective. This board does feel very closed and I felt like I better have something monumental to post if I was going to post. I never saw myself as spending a lot of time here, but I have popped in every day of the last week. I feel like if the rules on posting and threads were a bit more lax it might be more inviting. I moderate over on another forum where I am very active, It's the day to day talk that keeps people coming back and not necessarily the subject matter of the site. I really hope you can keep this place alive, it is a great resource. |

I liked this board because it has age, not only that:
It really helps, and also people gave me advice and memories even back when it was called Acmlm board. Sure I had my moments, but on the site's final legs, I hope everyone will move on to a new Romhacking forum. When this site goes, I'll stay more at NESDEV, I may also be at other sites as well. P.S. Thanks a million for everyone's contributions! ____________________ Mah boi, romhacking is what all true warriors strive for! I wonder what's for dinner? |

I feel like this new theme alone breathes some life into this board. Really, great job blackhole89!  ____________________ My YouTube Channel |

Isnt it necessary to add more ROM-Hacking forums on a specific game? It's like adding SMB3-SMAS hacking topic with only myself moderating the forum with my everyday activity. Things go quickly and die!
Same with adding Mega Man hacking (which I don't suggest to add here), forums like Rockman Perfect Memories has such fangaming topics to bring their own people with a favorite character's hero. That's one of those reason why Pokémon hacking forum fails. I hope these new forums are worth bringing people here. |

try making Hacking Tutorials for noobs ( like me) with Lazy Shell or hacking nes roms, like Contra.
Another option to increase visits would like to make a group at Facebook or Twitter and adding friends to it. ____________________ Looking for some info about beta/cancelled/unreleased games?

If Acmlmboard had subforum support I would just hide them as subforums myself. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

Posted by Green-Kirby Yeah, I'd actually click on links in the IRC if it didn't give my web browser an authentication aneurism every time because you're not actually using certificates like you're supposed to.
It's simply because it is - Romhacking in general is an unforgiving landscape for newbies. The remaining users have no patience to be guiding and/or helpful to new users. The social forums are still cliquey (they're social forums so no surprise there). The IRC is even cliquier. Coupled with the fact that the board is no longer the go-to speciality place (RHDN covers general/translation, SMWC, Pokecommunity and its ilk cover the big favourites) and it's not especially appealing. There's certainly not much that actually encourages people to want to hang out here. I don't post that much here either anymore - threads in romhacking are largely ignored. I know I only update and comment out of stubborn headedness to actually finish things. |
