If you quickly provide me an SQL and file dump, I can mirror it for the time being.

I thought we agreed on one in Moonedit pretty much, being the one with noob armies "From SMWCentral.net" lead by Smallhacker who turns out to be just a sockpuppet of the Drama Llama in the end (Gestahl-Kefka style) which, after a fierce fight, escapes making room for a possible sequel...

edit: and yeah, what Smallhacker said

Well, if it's just the physics, you always could take single-frame samples and attempt deducing the correct way of calculating jumps, falls and the like from them... on the NES, you typically don't have to expect overly complex physics simulations, so all you realistically need is the acceleration caps for each direction, the vertical acceleration jumping gives you and the degree of responsibility to the user input in various situations.

Facebook... apart from what you hear about social websites in general, I have heard many bad things about them in particular on the internet; thus, I'm not really feeling the urge to sign up either.

So how many people exactly are in that anyway?

Yeah, I'm very fond of that song myself, which is one of the reasons why it was among the ones I initially put up there.

Again, KP9000, could you link me to that album?

On another note, each of your images is, in spite of what you named them, an ~800KB BMP. Don't use that format for anything you show on the internet. Save them as PNG if you want lossless quality; even Windows XP's mspaint can do that. Otherwise, make proper JPGs.
And yeah, what Legomen said; alternatively, use <img src="http://some.url/gfdsfg.jpg">.

edit: To be a bit more on topic, the hack itself looks decent from all I can gather. How much of that did you actually do yourself, and how much of it is from peter_ac's conversions?

Well, could you do something about the images either way? As I said, they are BMP and thus way larger than they'd have to be.

Making a hack just as a mashup of others has few of a sense, since most people will prefer to just take and play the original hacks... if you limited yourself to one level for each and made four more original ones, it would be better.
Also, in my experience, unless you already made yourself a name as a good hacker, hardly anybody who knows how to do things will want to collaborate with you (wouldn't it mean only getting 50% of the kudos but doing 80%+ of the work yielding it?); you are better off asking for how to edit the music instead.

After watching the first one, I'd say it's a decent short subject; the music, however, seems a bit out of place most of the time. Did I understand it right that the protagonist picked up a TV set he found on the street and it turned out to be haunted/possessed/whatever in some way?

Well, they are still BMPs. BMP is an evil format. Don't use it.

The foreground actually looks very fitting. Can you get rid of the rather weird-looking, oversaturated clouds as you go?

The archives do run as a different user. Their beyond-all-reasonable-repair leakiness is one of the many reasons for that.

But thanks anyway. I set up a blunt UNION SELECT filter on all scripts now to avoid looking for more unescaped variables.

As there was a small majority for the separate uploader all the time, I went ahead with it.

First functional version, log in with your board account. Don't mind the dust.

Currently, public uploads are limited to 1.5MB. Further limitations like number of uploaded files might be imposed if it is abused. Aside from that, the usual considerations apply; what's forbidden on the board is also forbidden on the uploader.

These screenshots all look very good; I especially like how you manage to combine the official graphics with your own.

The BGM in level 2-1 seems to not fit the setting though; I'd rather be thinking of either a title screen or a mini game or puzzle level of sorts when hearing it.

Yeah, those new ones are PNGs. I don't see why he still gave them the JPG extension though... either way, those do look somewhat interesting.

On another note,

Posted by the FAQ
DO:
Use proper grammar and avoid '1337speak' and AOL speak (u/ur/y/ in place of words such as you/you're/why). It is a good way to gain respect.

The server itself has practically unmetered bandwidth, so it's not a problem (100mbit link)... uploading to it from home takes its time; with 128kbps per listener, you'd need a very good connection if you directly wanted to host such a stream from your home machine too.

The criticism I heard about it mostly focused on its reportedly seclusive in a paranoid way nature... people said it pretty much made contact with somebody you aren't already acquainted with in some way impossible.
