Ok so one of the administrators at the Elecbyte forum has KFM for a nickname, is anyone against giving that back to him if he comes here? That is to say changing Ash's username.

There's a couple of things to do or at least think about:

- Update links to Mugen in Stickies so that they point to the Elecbyte site

Not hard in introductory threads, but there's at least one pointing to several past versions, going back even to the DOS version, that's the part I'm not completely sure how to handle...


- There's 2 sub-sections fo Mugen engine alternatives, but now the original is available again and updated to boot

How do we handle the sections for Shugendo and XnaMugen?

Considering the lack of movement in Xna in months, I think it's worth reconsidering its stay in the forum, but I hven't really followed its developments.
In any case, given the (lack of) activity in both project sections, I'd say it's reasonable to move the contents of their sub-sections like Bug Reports to the main topic list and dispose of those sub-sub sections.


- Think it's worth updating the icons in the Releases section to state if a release is meant to work for the new Mugen version?...

Best way about versions is probably to introduce the "LATEST Version" and "current version in use", being that the latest version would have a big warning in front stating that most material isnt made for it yet, so it might have compatibility issues as the community adapts.

xnaMugen can be archived by now I suppose.  ShugenDo should stick around unless Sakirsoft decides to give up because of these new developments (not likely).

Updating the icons like that would double their amount, just using a comment of or conventional [tags] in thread titles should be enough for the time being.

I don't see the harm in leaving links to the old versions. Normally betas are always up.
Anyway, I still think Guild should host all the old versions on the main site. But now I think Guild should also have a gateway link straight to Elecbyte's site. A big one too.

TBH I just collapsed those categories. Since this is possible I don't really see the need to totally remove them. But maybe archive anything that has been stalled for a long time. Until we hear from the developers.

Maybe it would be applicable for the release sections to have a mandatory extra line to fill in under subject

Subject:
Mugen Version:
Message Icon:
POST MESSAGE

If Val could implement such. Guess old topics wouldn't be affected by it, but the authors can go back in and update them.

Perhaps two release sections. Or for that matter boards. Old mugen and new mugen. I don't see old mugen dieing for awhile. So instead of doing Icons I recommend another area above our old release section. They could be the same just in different areas. Call one Mugen 2001 or something.

I say this because I don't think we are ready to archive the old creations but one day we will need to and that would make it easy to do so.

I guess those geo(yahoo) sites that we worried were closing have less importance now.

Fuck that, I left it alone when he "RETURNED" from the grave to release more stages."let him save some face" I thought.
Kfm is one of the single worst persons that ever managed to have a say in this community and has alone destroyed most of the name the community had.
He is worst than ten vyx taped together.
He was able to orchestrate his "websight" death, loom from the shadows trying to use his old members as a trading coin to gain some fame, return uncaring, and now even this?


He just wants internet fame, no matter how much his grubby little hands have to do to get it, and he will stop at nothing, not his own word, not anything.
In the end of the day he is like vyx, who named his "proyect" brokenmugenhd to try to ride on the fame of others.
Thing is, he tried to do it by calling himself Kfm and his group of merry men Randomselect, and sounding official-like.

The first time I entered a mugen irc he was there spewing venom and claiming that all the other "mods at guild" were right in not wanting me as part of their team since they thought I was stupid. He has claimed to how many that he was part of elecbyte? He is the kind of person that pretends to be with bigger packs to look more self important, and im glad he was banned from here, just sad that he will still try to go after people AGAIN.

So seriously, fuck that. Peace.

he will have rs running back after his stunt failed in a few days, he just wants fame.

Im quite sure he will now whine about this to his fellows .
Even if it's utter crap...

Just like Walt was out of line yesterday. Claiming that KFM is Vyx is a stretch. KFM has at least made shit. To me this puts him in another bracket. Granted he has his faults but I wouldn't say he as low as Vyx.

Plus, by doing the things that you just reported, he has proven he is smart at least in manipulation, Vyx is fucking dumb.

He might be Hitler, but he is no Borat. Besides, neither will be hanging around here, so who cares.

If it makes you feel better, I will beg for a mod status over there and ban him from elecbtye  ;P

You can't take away the fact that Ash really was good at what he did. Whether we all liked it or not. He was/is a good leader and I fear anyone that has to cross his path in real life if he's able to do as much there as he is on the net (in the mugen world)

But I don't see what he did on their forum? He has 2 posts? Did I miss something? ICED mentioned on MSN that he took the name Kung Fu Man there. Did they change that to Mr. Randomselect?

I like the two separate sections idea because once the transition is "over," like Shamboy said, it'll be easier to archive the older content. It's not going to happen instantly, but it's good to think ahead.

As for Mugen, both versions should be up, 2003 & 1.0, labeling them accordingly, and as Iced said adding a warning about content/stability for the new one, at least until it's remotely bug free, and a decent amount of quality content is created/updated for it.

There may be a number of new mugen versions coming out in the upcoming years though.

Should at least make it mandatory to post the version. Then we have FOUND releases and EDITS

Would we duplicate all of this? Would we have a old generations category and a new generations category? And will users know which ones to post things in? Sounds like it could be a nightmare for the 2 mods that do stuff (not counting the new mods =P)

the 2 mods are Iced and Shamrock, but now ICED doesn't have to do it either O_O

If you go into other forums like game hacking or the other you will find ones for xbox, wii, and others. Entire boards.

We have an army of mods now, and Mugen will get popular again so work is coming no matter what.

That is unless everyone jumps ship ands runs over to elecbyte which means Iced and I will be modding our own post to each other.

We may even have other variations in the future. Stuff that only is released for the wii, if an engine is ported, or sakir's engine might actually do something, my $5 might actually make an open engine (yeah right) other platforms,  You see the point though,

We are on the verge of having completely different gaming engines out there.

I'd be in favor of a second release forum (with filter icons, of course) for this purpose, with migration of release topics with updated chars.

The release forum is huge as it is, if we make a cut now that will make it easier to search for older releases. I realize the compat. step isn't huge, but it's there nonetheless :P

or something, but that can be changed once it's there and we see how it looks. Whether we should have new section(s), can't comment, it'll probably be until I get a few free days before I'll check out the new MUGEN version.

I'm lost now, I didn't silently correct his post. I usually just work around people's spelling mistakes because I know that I sometimes make spelling mistakes too.

I swear I was going to quote the same part you quoted (to get shamrock back for trampling my reading skills in the recent past), but when I was quoting it raring to post, the spelling mistake that was there initially, was not there anymore, it was gone! Now it's back, maybe my eyes were fooling me before or something. >_>

I definitely wasn't trying to be impolite, and I never intended to be impolite!
