Dunno... I don't really need anything right now. Though, I asked for Mario Kart 3DS. That game looks epic. ____________________ Kafuka -- ROM hacking Kuribo64 -- we hack shit |

Incremental backups would be even more appropriate in this situation. ____________________ Kafuka -- ROM hacking Kuribo64 -- we hack shit |

I shall say that I don't want the board to be terminated. I'm kinda here for ROM hacking (even though barely anyone cares about SM64DS), but mostly because this board feels kinda like a home to me...
I also have to say that I disagree with the 'minimal bans' measures. There are certain kinds of people that can't be allowed on a messageboard (before you take offence for that, this is not aimed at anyone here). If the board turns into a huge spamfest, I'll be forced to leave. I don't want to post a thread about, say, video cards, to get flaming/trolling/viagra/WOW gold in response. I think we should look at what's the trend of the internet in 2012, and follow that. Though, it's hard to say. It appears that most of the trend is Facebook and other social networking bullshit. I don't want Board2 to become a social networking site, and it may just not be possible, as it seems that in that domain, it's a monopoly or almost, you have to be large or noone will care about you. We could try and make Board2 the place for next-gen hacking, such as hacking the newest consoles (3DS, PSVita, and soon enough Wii U), or hacking games meant for these consoles (NSMBWii, SMG1/2, and soon enough Mario Land)... all of that while retaining the nostalgia and retro hacking (SMB, SMW...). Otherwise, I don't have much ideas to revive the board. And I may be repeating myself here, but in my opinion, dropping all the rules and letting everyone in is a bad idea. If too many spamming dumbasses appear, the board will turn into a huge spamfest and good members will leave out of disgust. Edit- another potential method of bringing in activity I just thought of, could be to add cool features to the board system. The 'bonus coins' thing I saw after I posted this, reminded me that having a functional battle system might be interesting... idk though. ____________________ Kafuka -- ROM hacking Kuribo64 -- we hack shit |

The applet still tries to join you into #acmlm, even though the new channel is #board2.
Not like it matters, though. ____________________ Kafuka -- ROM hacking Kuribo64 -- we hack shit |

Posted by blackhole89 Oh, it's just that we saw an AB-Guest arrive in #kafuka the other day. Apparently he found this board's IRC page. He was able to enter #acmlm by guessing the key, but got kickbanned out of it, according to what he said. He then chose the server's most populated channel... Oh well, even if this board isn't very active, it's always nice to take care of users enough to not send them into locked or inexistent places. That's pretty much why I decided to report this issue I guess. And by posting I'm making sure it doesn't get lost like it could happen on IRC  ____________________ Kafuka -- ROM hacking Kuribo64 -- we hack shit |

Since the trend in this thread is posting graphes, guess I'll jump on the bandwagon...
This one is made from the 'New posts' numbers in the stats page of Kafuka, Board2 and Jul. It dates back from yesterday morning, so it doesn't count the recent posting spree here. Even though my method of calculating weekly averages is slightly off, the message is obvious. I used to like Board2 a few years ago. But now... it's a zombie. It gets little to no posts per day, yet it won't die. At this point there are two solutions out of the problem: either radically change the board in a last attempt at attracting more people, or just kill it. Leaving the board in its current state will more hurt it than anything else. Look at it-- the only active regulars are blackhole89 and one or two other staffers. All of the community is gone. The only activity here comes from random new people joining to ask a question in the ROM hacking forums. Then when they get their answer, or realize the board is dead, they go away. The board is also the target of all kinds of crap bots (namely those that try to insert links in their useragents and stick around online.php). The board is in a pathetic state overall. Now, what has already been done to try and get the board somewhere? Lunaria has tried, and from what I can see, it has failed. At this point, anything that isn't as radical as turning the place into a whole new site, will fail the same way. So in the end, I have to agree with Xkeeper. This board is a zombie and isn't going anywhere. Time to turn it into a nice archive and do something else. Now you're going to tell me what you told Xk about the ROM hacking stuff. That's nice, but ROM hackers would rather go to an active board where a consistent and active community can help them out quickly. Sending those people to such a board would be a favor to them, rather than letting them in this inactive board. ____________________ Kafuka -- ROM hacking Kuribo64 -- we hack shit |

Not to mention that the way the site is being run lately, indicates how desperate blackhole89 is.
First evidence of that showed over two years ago, with Flan. The guy would keep shitting over the board, and nothing was done to stop him, because Flan was filling the board with posts and blackhole89 loved that fact, regardless of the posts themselves. Or whatever. Perhaps the reason was actually different, but to me as well as most of the users who were here at the time, it looked pretty much like what I described. Of course, privileging quantity over quality is bad. People started leaving because of that. At that point, blackhole89 apparently realized his choice was wrong, as action was finally taken to stop Flan. But the harm was already done... Another evidence I've seen is when blackhole89 would mute #acmlm to force people to use the board for their discussions. I have to say here that obsessing over postcounts is a bad thing to do. See Neritic Net. While it was active, it was a nice and friendly place, and I enjoyed posting there. But at some point, activity started to decline. Kaeru started obsessing over postcounts and constantly going GO POST GO POST at the people in IRC. He literally turned into another person, a postcount-obsessed asshole (I still remember the nice Kaeru telling me "don't feel forced, posts should come from the heart"). Of course, that, combined with Arbe's bullshit, drove me away from the place. And apparently it pretty much precipitated the board's death. Back to now. It appears to me that no effort is put into running the place other than deleting spambot crap. See. That Chaobomr guy has a stupid plaintext header, and noone has bothered to remove it. Xkeeper's previous rereg (E_NONAME) was able to make over 50 posts before getting banned, and Xkeeper isn't known for spamflooding this place. And there are more. I won't list them here because I'm not trying to be a backseat moderating hero. My point is that the staff is apparently not putting any effort into moderating the place. 'The staff' being blackhole89, since all the other staffers either have left or have other boards/projects that are more important to them than trying to moderate a board where barely anything happens. There are two possible reasons for this: a) blackhole89 wants postcounts so bad he'll let anyone in no matter what, or b) he is sick of running this zombie board. Now, here's the dilemma: if it's b), why does blackhole89 still bother running the board? But if it's a), what kind of postcounts can you really expect here today? The board doesn't even get 10 posts a day. To me, it looks more like b), perhaps with a bit of a). blackhole89 said that ROM hackers should be able to find whichever place is convenient for them to post their stuff. If it is the case, they don't need to be able to post here. They may want to look at the existing content, for documentations or whatever, but they aren't going to want to post here since nobody would reply. Long story short, Board2 as it is has lived its time. blackhole89 needs to stop hanging on this zombie board like an old monkey hanging on a dead tree's branch. He should either change it radically to give it a new life and attract new people, or archive it and do something else. Just don't let it fall into spam and chaos and all the bad things that happen to unarchived dead boards. But blarg, why are we wasting our times? blackhole89 is so stubborn that we'll surely always see the board running until he dies. Oh, I don't really care anyway. I'm just suggesting what I deem the best for the board's future. At this point it has lived its time, and I don't want it to fall into chaos. ____________________ Kafuka -- ROM hacking Kuribo64 -- we hack shit |

It's okay, but the post header is definitely not the right place for that. That silly text appears above every of your posts, making it confusing. ____________________ Kafuka -- ROM hacking Kuribo64 -- we hack shit |

In case anyone's interested, Blargboard is out.
It's my board software that is based off ABXD. Combines Acmlmboard feel, security and flexibility, all without being bloated. If you want to see it live, it powers Kuribo64 and RVLution. Enjoy! ____________________ Kafuka -- ROM hacking Kuribo64 -- we hack shit |

This board is dead, you might want to go there.
See blackhole89, this is why leaving a zombie board running is a bad thing. This user will probably never see my post. And God knows if he found another board to post or if he'll ever get help. ____________________ Kafuka -- ROM hacking Kuribo64 -- we hack shit |

It's not dead because you're there, sticking to it like an old monkey sticking to his dead tree.
Stop wasting your time and join an active board instead. ____________________ Kafuka -- ROM hacking Kuribo64 -- we hack shit |

I'm making a honest recommendation to him, so he can get to enjoy a better life.
And first of all, who are you to talk to me like that? You barely joined a board and are already insulting people for no reason? Be glad that noone pays attention to this place anymore. You wouldn't get away with this behavior otherwise. ____________________ Kafuka -- ROM hacking Kuribo64 -- we hack shit |

'information exchange'
ahahahahahahahahaha Like you have seen, people come here and get no help at all. And even two months later, a misplaced thread isn't dealt with by the staff. Where's the staff? Gone. All it seems to do is delete spam. So for example, if someone were to attack this board? It'd drown under shit. Which would be lame, given all the useful information it holds. This is why I'm for archiving it. But well, you know how stubborn blackhole89 can be. tl;dr your dear board is dead. Admit it and move on. ____________________ Kafuka -- ROM hacking Kuribo64 -- we hack shit |

You act as if I'm some bored 13 year old lamer who has nothing better to do than pestering a dead board. If that was right, I'd have posted here far earlier.
I had mostly let this board rest in peace until I figured I'd give the OP a reply, because so far, noone else did. Noone even bothered to tell him that this thread isn't in the right forum. So much for staff still being active. And now, I have to keep coming back because of you two and your petty argument. I'm making honest suggestions to people to go to a board that actually has an active staff. As I said, this board is nice to have as an archive. But what do you think will happen if some lamer decides to flood it to death, hack it, or whatever else? Or, in a less apocalyptical scenario, decides to troll people and post shit? The board will fall into chaos. The fact this thread is still going, alone, says a lot about the state of this board. It's not 'peaceful' as you please yourself to imagine, it's fucking dead. Open your fucking eyes already. A peaceful board would have an active staff preventing it from falling into chaos, this isn't the case here. Staying on a board with a nearly inactive staff is asking for trouble. Someone prove me wrong. ____________________ Kafuka -- ROM hacking Kuribo64 -- we hack shit |

You're right. I just wanted to point out how dead this place was.
Or, uh, not dead, but focus has shifted over specific, niche topics according to you. The issue is that it still identifies itself as a 'general ROM hacking board' and 'Acmlm's Board successor'. It needs to center over those specific topics that keep it alive, and get active staff. Either that, or archive it. But don't let it be 'board2 the generic ROM hacking forum that is mostly dead'.
But you don't have the power. Too bad
I'll leave it at that. Have fun here. Hell, MikeTechno, since you supposedly know how to contact the staff, tell them about this post. It's for the best for everyone, really. ____________________ Kafuka -- ROM hacking Kuribo64 -- we hack shit |

I was going to drop it, but I can't let you spout bullshit like that.
... which implies you can easily get in touch with the staff. And now, this.
No. Just no. If you were right there, this thread would already have been taken care of.
So far noone complained. Except you, because the mean Mega-Mario dared say that your dear board is dead and there's noone to ban him. If my posts really mattered that much to anyone, they'd have shown it, be it by posting here or contacting the staff. But so far, none of that has happened. I suggest you quit it with your baseless attacks on me, because now you're only making yourself look dumb. Besides, you're accomplishing nothing but backseat modding, which is against this board's rules. I'm sure you must have something better to do than acting like Board2 Police. ____________________ Kafuka -- ROM hacking Kuribo64 -- we hack shit |

Posted by MikeTechnoPosted by Mega-Mario I'm done with you because at this point everything of interest has been said and continuing would be a waste of time. You seem to select the best parts of my posts to attack me and happily ignore the rest. Posted by Stufid As gridatttack said, there are some specific topics here that aren't found anywhere else. And as I said, the board should recenter to those topics, instead of staying this 'general ROM hacking board' zombie. ____________________ Kafuka -- ROM hacking Kuribo64 -- we hack shit |

This wouldn't have happened on any board with decent moderation, I can assure you.
