Skeetendo

You bring up good points. :)

As you said, since it's so active on the IRC channel and there a lot of Filipinos, I feel that the members could be a lot more active simply as members of a hacking and creative community, rather than on a channel or an ethnic division. For those other hackers that aren't as close, I'd make an effort to bring them together.

I understand what you mean by 'having another board will make this one smaller,' but that wouldn't be the case, as I explained above. I'm also a member of another hacking community (focusing mainly on GBA though), but it isn't at all brought down by others out there... I would also be bringing some fresh new faces from that board. It's a totally separate community from other hacking boards with a different view on the community as a whole, as TH would be. This board is obviously great for documenting resources, as would any board.

All in all, when TH makes another attempt, it'll either succeed or fail. If it fails, screw it, I was wrong, and Skeetendo is the only GB/C hacking community that can exist. :P

Only real critique I have to say about the plan behind revival of TH is that if it took place, documentation would be separated between two forums. Why let that happen? It's not like it would be something very serious but still, it would make things more disorganized.
If some document was only posted to TH and not here, jwibagi would have to keep updating that "Global FAQ and Resource Thread" to cover also all the documentation of TH not being posted in Skeetendo.

I see you (Mr. Magius) like the idea of starting to revive this old hacking forum (which I also used to be a part of, for a little while at least) but I don't know... I generally don't like the idea that much, simply because of that way documentation would be separated between two different places. If only things sections for user created hacks, tools, ideas, questions and help were put up there, I don't see any problem with doing that. But no, documentation shouldn't be posted there if it wasn't put up here as well.

I quite hope so :)

I don't see a problem with that. If you and everyone agrees, then documentation per se wouldn't be put there. My main interest is creating a good community of hacks, ideas, questions. Any documentation will just be posted here and linked from TH. Would you still be against it?

(By the way, what happened to the several posts that were posted after my previous one...? Forum malfunction? :P)

I’ve already discussed my views on Twilight Hacking. Basically, I think that without careful thought, it will lead to:

• forced duplication of content so people will see it

• content people don’t see because it's not duplicated

If you read the linked post, you’ll see me talk about the problem being that they would have the same niche. If this is to go anywhere, I think the important thing is for the boards to not have any overlap. Mateo once expressed to me a desire to create a community more focused on hacks and “idea discussion”‐style things than this one. Maybe that would be a good idea.

I think this is a good post.

If you really feel the administration is lacking, tell me—in IRC, or by email, or in a post. I can’t respond to people's concerns if they don’t talk to me, and it’s no fun being blindsided when people are unhappy.

That idea sounds great to me (and was actually my basic idea). TH's focus is to concentrate on more of the creative aspect of ROM hacking rather than the technical, for the most part.

The outline of the board is pretty much how I like it. Visit the site [http://twilight-hacking.darkbb.com/] and tell me what you think of the layout. What do you think? Any forums I should add? You can also go ahead and register!
All I have to do is make some more visuals and it should be ready.

I think it looks pretty good. I know you said we can go ahead and register, but when I clicked register it said "The Administrators have disabled new registrations." But yeah, it looks fine other than that.

Not sure if this counts as a stupid question or not, but what exactly is this "Twilight Hacking"? Some kind of website?

I'm not able to post new topics. Is that on purpose?

EDIT: Derp, it logged me out. Nevermind :P

Huh? Why is that?

Why does it say it is taken, or why is that my Twitter username? lol

Doubtful, it looks like a new start instead of just re-activating the old board. But since everything was deleted from the original, who knows? Oh well, I got in either way. Haha.

Oh well in that case, it probably is a reboot of the old board. I know all the users except Mr. Magius had been deleted when it went down last time, so that would explain the higher users online in the past and his paradoxical post count. Still not sure why it said my username was taken when it wasn't in the list of users though. Who knows.

Thanks!
