News About The Drama With RHDN…

Depending on when you released your patches and he put prepatched roms on cdr, both could've occurred long before Spike decided to even start RHDO.

In the 2+ days you've been mentioning this here in the comments have you tried to contact him and just politely ask him to take them down until he asks permission?
 
Ultimately it's a free service to host hacks. The objections so far have been greatly based on misinformation or opinions towards me, not the site itself. A lot of work was put into making this site, and we continue to make improvements and adding features. All we can do is continue working and hope people will give us a chance.
 
With all the flaming discussions and different opinions clashing against each other, I have to say:

Should I even TRUST this website or not?
 
Spike can even upload the whole history of video games on CDRomance, for all I care. What I care about is that he uploads prepatched ROMs with my romhacks/translations without asking permission first. I simply do not want this to happen with my free-to-use work, and expect Spike to respect that, but he clearly does not. He completely ignores and direspects the work of the very same people he is trying to gather together at RHDO.
 
There is a lot of misinformation going around that RHDO was involved in RHDN's site issues/closure. This is the misinformation being referenced here.
 
All copyright has done is kill the games I love most. My respect for it is low.

If you want to feel like an product that can be replicated infinitely without further consumption of resources should be throttled for no other reason than money, a limited resource, then you are absolutely mad and do not understand technology. I get why we're so behind now.
 
Well, guess I'm here now. Hopefully it won't be too painful figuring out what I already have archived and what I don't.

I don't know anything about all this. I just hope this site doesn't go away because even if I do keep everything, I don't think I'll ever be able to host myself. You're doing a service.
 
Thanks man I totally get where they are coming from. Everyone is welcomed to use this site regardless of their opinion of me.
Hopefully they can move past that, I don't have problems with anybody. Nobody's perfect.
 
Don't lose heart, Spike, there is always people that dislike what someone else do on the internet. you are doing a great service to the romhacking community by running RHDO and cdromance.
For me, distributing prepatched is much more useful if you want other people to actually use your romhack, since it is much easier for the final user to play them.

I've been meaning to publish my romhacks here since i found out about it but haven't out of laziness.
Now, with the closure of RHDN and the drama around RHDO, i put some time aside to do it and show my support.
 
I had a feeling RHDN would eventually turn into just an archive when I originally joined them back in 2016 and saw the general vibe of the site. A couple mods became convinced I was a badhacker over ice cream and dogged me at random until I said '"F this" and started actually making some on a different site. Ironically that got me into general graphics/text hacking, so if I ever come across one of them I'll give them a genuine thank you.

Anyway, I feel lucky to have this site and BHDN to share the two sides of my hobby. Both have a ton of chill people that enjoy pushing rom hacking to it's limits in their own ways and I hope they're both around for many years to come.
 
Nobody said there was a DDOS. I was very careful the way I worded my comment. Please ready it carefully.
 
There was no DDOS. At the time, RHDN had pissed off MANY romhackers with their treatment of submissions, had limited uploads to 1MB, shutdown for 2 days with no communication. I am a passionate person, and quite blunt, thus the "fuck rhdn".

I implore you to watch this video which explains the entire situation quite well.

 
We are talking about a Moderator role here, not a random user. So, I would expect some neutral and mature attitude towards certain events. That is as simple as that.
Anyway, I don't think it matters much who are the mods. The main issue for me, as I said, is the connection between CDRomance and this site.
 
If you did anything slightly wrong ever like say fuck or shit or laugh at something bad you must be banned from the internet permanently
-insane people, 2024
 
Spike is still the admin, not you. And to be honest, among all people RHDO could have as moderator, having one of the guys who were laughing at running autoclickers on RHDN, stating that RHDN "can fuck off" and deserve to get a DDOS (it does not matter whether the DDOS actually happened or not) is the least reassuring state of affairs.

I am sorry guys, but you simply lost all your credibility.
 
My problem is that I simply cannot trust to give in the hands of a person that runs both websites my romhacks/translations for sharing.

As you also suggested, for romhacks.org to be on clear grounds, it should have an independent lead than the one behind CDRomance.

Unless the above happens, I don't believe romhacks.org should actually gain any more attention.
