Well its sure been over 2 years since the forum started, and boy has it come a long way. (oh no story time with cosmological strikes again)
I guess I'm making this thread to wish this place goodbye and provide information about the move. To cut to the stuff you all want first here is some info.
Why move?
A. well the forum was sort of in a disastrous state which we could not fix unless we had a complete overhaul of the forum's architecture. We were also approached by Kuribo64 and they'd allow us to make a forum with them. Due to the need to rework the forum we took the opportunity to completely start anew. We hope that this will remove any confusion among new members regarding what is new and what is outdated.
What will happen to this site?
A. Well the domain www.supermariogalaxy2-5.com will change to give us a promotional site. The forums you see here will be locked up to be a read only archive if anyone wants to come back here to look for any information, but it will be moved to the domain, www.supermariogalaxy2-5.proboards.com.
What is the promotional site?
A. The promotional site will be a place where people interested in the future of the project but not exactly willing to contribute to it can go to check up on news. It will stay at this domain. some examples of what you'll be able to find on this site include...Updates on certain level designs, level creations, potential demos to play, as well as an occasional update about anything relating to this project, such as a big discovery or major progress on something. It will also be able to navigate and include links to this and the new forum, as well as our youtube channel and potentially others.
What is the new forum like?
A. The new forum is located at kuribo64.net/. We are now working with people from there to improve the scene of SMG hacking all together. The new forum is much more compact and strait forward, and should make whatever you are trying to find easier. When looking at the new forum you may ask why is such board so devoid of stuff its because currently we are not in the need for it but will shortly. Also on the new forum there are much stricter rules and spamming and such will not be tolerated.
Well I hope that answers all of your questions about the move, now I guess I'll talk about my experience here and say my final goodbye.
Its been almost two years since I joined this project, and has it grown on me. In this time I've contributed over seven complete level designs and have had a great time with the community here (some of it was more happy than others though ). On my first day here I contributed my first design and since then I've had bigger better, more polished and all together awesome designs and I hope my designs continue to improve on kuribo. When I first joined I was a very mysterious member who only came online once and a while usually only to post a complete design or a nearly completed design. I took large breaks from the forum not thinking about it and then came back with a new better design. Now its a daily thing log in to see how everything is going and check up with people on the irc. I still don't post much, because anything that isn't hugely necessary I keep to the irc. well I hope the forum will keep up its amazing work and we can accomplish more at kuribo and get this project done! Well until the day we are done I'd like to bid this place farewell. My final postcount here is 305, amazing how much one can accomplish in a given number of posts.
This thread will remain open for five days for people to say goodbye and ask any potential questions then like the rest of the forum it will go to a read only state until it is needed again.
Goodbye great forum!
