RomanceHacks. That one is for free, you're welcome.
In all honesty, Spike stepping down and you making it explicitly clear about the site's current affiliation, like you just have in this news post, should be beyond more than enough. Some of the folks who were posting (not all of them of course, but definitely some) were just ginning up drama hoping to make this exact situation occur, simply because they're no longer the center of the romhacking universe. Changing the name now would just give them something to be giddy about in their next-to-emtpy Discord servers. They don't deserve that satisfaction, not for a second. You already have the perfect name, and you've already calmed down anyone who was legitimately concerned about the cdr issue. That said, I support whatever you guys decide to do in the end regarding the site name and wish everyone a chill evening.
RomHackersRealm.org or .net has a nice ring to it. Whatever the name might become it might be a good idea to at least keep rom hacking/hackers in the name so it’s easy to know that this is a place for a community of rom hackers to be able to work on or collaborate on projects that the world can enjoy and where we can share and develop our skills.
Welcome Benjamin and much luck with everything. Here some ideas: RRA: RetroRomAddon HTHP: HackingTranslationsHombrewPatches RFS: RomFanService Thanks for the work so far with submission stuff, it means a lot to me to have a romhack-hub where every fan can submit there hacks!
Well, good luck in this new stage, Ben. Hopefully this will be successful and could help fixing (in some way) the stains in the community caused by childish ranting from people's immaturity and inability of tolerate other's viewpoints.
I think the only way the community could be united will be real when people grow up and stop crying about silly issues like the ones that made some unnecessary polemics (i.e. the SSMS translation by DD or the Goemon 2 translation by Tom), and I TALK ABOUT THIS BEING A LEFTIST.
gamepatching dot com gamepatches dot org clownfeet dot net Getting rid of the negative connotations the words ROM and Hacking has, when it comes to the average joe reading about the site. It's crazy how many people thought rhdn going down was a story of yet another romsite being taken down by Nintendo.
We hope so! Giving submission and modification power back to the people (once verified) with no mod intervention should solve most of the issues people have been having in general on other sites. We are passionate, enthusiastic and we are constantly improving for the community!
My suggestions for a new name: The Hack Depot or The Hack Repo Both are simple, abbreviate well, and describe the site in a few words!
Et bien bonne chance et je te souhaite la réussite. Well, good luck and I wish you success. I'd also like to emphasize just how great and important your responsibility is, since RHDN's closure the central place and reference site for romhacking has disappeared. I hope you'll manage to attract and unite the fragmented romhacking community around this site. Cross one's fingers.
It's a pity that Spike had to leave. I'll miss him. (But we'll meet in CDR). Welcome BenjaminCM. I wish you the best.
That's really a good thing, bro. Thanks for removing this.
oh god
It is clear we have different points of view on this matter and we will not converge. That is fine. So let me put it differently: me and essentially all other 99% of romhackers publish our work as patches for a reason. You, other people, or even the person who runs RHDO might not agree with that reason, and that is fine. But it would be very nice if people at least respected that choice, considering also we are giving away our work for free (of course companies do not need to respect anything, and can kill us whenever they want). But, if even the person who is going to run our new romhacking home does not respect in the first place our choice by converting our patches to ROMs on CDRomance then there is a serious trust issue at the foundations of this community, and this home will not have much of a future, in my opinion. And no, saying he will remove the pre-patched ROMs upon request is just weak PR, because it is essentially saying: I don't care, and I will keep doing what I am doing unless somebody figures out. Regarding my tones, If I sounded petty, that was not my intention.
Yes.
I don't see the system. So it means it's removed, right?
Except again, no corporation outside of nintendo attempted to take down a modified rom of their games, regardless if it's pre-patched or not. The only thing that's really a gray zone is fanmade games, you know, games made from scratch.
Trust me, I had a gamebanana account to upload mods there, Now I only came here for the mods and nothing else. Because the admins there are just as bad.
They have no legal nor moral ground to demand anything beyond proper credit, it never was their IP in the first place. You of all people should know that there is no end to trying to placate these folks.
