Title: Does somebody really hate us?

Or was there another reason charas was down, like, the 506th time?! Anyway, glad to see you all....


again!

I come here for the first time in months and Charas refuses to open up.

It's a conspiracy, I say.

I was wondering where you were..

Honestly, Im amazed at how many of you think there is an evil master hacker in a top hat and bandit mask trying to hack into the CHARAS MAINFRAME. Seriously you guys...common sense. Its a Security issue with SMF. Time to put our "realistic" faces on here.

And it's probably going to happen again.

I'm about ready to just write this site off if it's only going to be up a couple days a week.

SaiKar, I love how your rank contradicts with your post count.

I don't understand any of these forums nowadays.

Somebody has it really out for Charas and is being an immature brat about it.

Naw, isn't Charas hosted on GoDaddy? A lot of GoDaddy sites have been attacked.

PM's worked too. Though, the one PM I got during the downtime wont mark itself as read. o.o

And, I really hate us.

According to Alex (who I PM'd on day one of this recent downtime)
"Nah... This time it was "only" a corrupted tble of the DB Tongue
Should be fixed now."

forgetting what ever I said and keeping in mind Tongue is copypaste for an emoticon, yeah

And, I really hate us.

Awww, I love us too.

I like how you think that having a high post count makes you important.



I agree with Sai Kar.


DISCLAIMER

I have no evidence to support what Im about to say


Enjoy it dudes, I think this is the last days of charas project.
Clean your galleries out. Loot what you can.

Id say we should download the resources from the generator for backup in case anyone wants to take a stab at making a 2k3 generator after the big blue dies...but its mostly **** anyhow. Honestly, though...there is not much thats come from rpgmaker2003 or 2000 in the last couple of years that wasn't crap....visually anyhow.

Im going to be spending more time at the Stencyl Forums. This week, the private beta invites should be resuming and my list of charas reccomendations should get their access. Hopefully I see you guys around there sometime.

Oh, I can manually edit it, at least when I remember my password. I actually have 2395-ish, depending on if the search looks in private forums. I can never remember. I've been around forever (pretty sure I've got the oldest active account on the site, excluding Alex) and it makes me a little punchy and bored.

I've thought about this a bit. We should probably at least have a Plan B in case Charas really does die for good. Anyone know of any solid RM2K forums off the top of their head?

If Charas dies, I'll speak to whoever I have from Charas on MSN asking news about if a "new Charas" was made/found. But I sure hope it doesn't die... I'd be sad.

Nope. No RPG Maker forum will ever be as good as Charas. Because they actually care about games and all. Honestly, Charas hasn't made a game in ages. All we have is the community. Best one, too. All of All, Forum Gaming and Creative Arts are our main boards. We will never find a place other than Charas where the community is this awesome.
If Charas dies, a huge part of the my internet life will do so as well.

I visit RpgRevolution.

Suprised its name hasn't been up yet.
Many new members I've seen join here I saw on RRR first.
Ratty and Redd being the 2 off the top of my head.

Sounds mean, but we should create a charas thread in another, less good, RPG Maker site, just in case! :D

It's fine, just technical hiccups. No sense changing from a buggy system to a less-customisable buggy system.

Not to hijack the thread, but does anyone know where Jim/MT11 went? I can understand him not being here but he seems to have disappeared from, well, everywhere.

No idea, but I've been worried. I've been worried about a number of old users. I've been worried about you.

I'm still here. I have Charas as the first of my homepage tabs and I check out everything that's on the front page, it just seems to be getting rarer that I see something that makes me say HORY SHET GOTTA POST.

I must admit I'm still here for the community rather than the content. I haven't used RPG Maker for a long time. I don't even have it installed.
Title: Re: Does somebody really hate us?
Post by: Cerebus on June 20, 2010, 04:35:00 PM
I hear you. These days, there are fewer posts in which I want to post something. Not that they're not interesting, just that I have nothing to say. Or they are just not there. I mean, I can't reply to a post that isn't there, right?

But I still come pretty much everyday.
Still have RPG Maker 2003 installed, but haven't used the program for the past 20 years. I, too, stay for the community. I just wished it was more active... I remember the days when... no wait I don't, my memory's awful.

Anyway, hello.
Title: Re: Does somebody really hate us?
Post by: MissingName on June 20, 2010, 11:54:44 PM
I really haven't been here for that long... and even I think there's some degradation.  The community is more important than the RM stuff...

I am, actually, still working with 2k3.  So there's that.

Furthermore if we extrapolate the data we find that Cerberus' usage of RPG Maker will continue to decrease over time until in roughly 65 years he will have no knowledge that it ever existed.

SCIENCE!

You guys (well Gem) are going waaaay overboard with the doomsday assumptions.

That said, I decided a long time ago that Charas is my final traditional forum. I won't be signing up to any others, imageboards have spoiled me.
I'm already partially part of a small tightknit IRC/imageboard community which is quite delightful (no, not 4chan).

This site has been around for many years, and though I don't post much, I always visit. I know few people work on the RPG makers at all anymore, and while I still do, I mostly come here for the community as others have said.

I must say, if this site does dissapear, it will be very sad. I have many memories of sitting at my computer looking through this site. And while fewer and fewer of the members I know appear, there are new members who take up the attitudes and new characters to meet.

This is in response to page 1.

Charas needs to update to modern times and host a wider variety of resources and projects in accordance with the times.  RM2k3 was 7 years ago.  Nowadays you kids are all using XP and VX and God knows what else.  Aiming specifically at RM2000 and 2k3 users has worked for however many years, but they're usage seems to be declining exponentially.  Instead of 'dying off', adapt in a way that will bring in more visitors, and people who will actually contribute CR and on the forums.

I don't want to see Charas go down anymore than (probably) most of you, so let's start a minor revamp.  I can offer plenty of ideas if anyone in charge is interested.

We may want to become a general GPL graphics assembly site, or something similar.
This is talk for another time though.
Title: Re: Does somebody really hate us?
Post by: ThexXtremeXx on July 01, 2010, 02:43:10 AM
Meh. Charas can't get worst.

I say we make new, improved, revolutionary graphics for RPGMaker 2k3. I know some guys that maybe might help perhaps maybe probably. I will ask them.

Oh, and CLEANING THE GODDAMN CR. And adding some quality control. I swear, there's so much crap in there. Generator stuff, and crappy characters that nobody could seriously think about using.

I will talk to my pixel artist friends, see if they can  get some cool templates and basic resources done. I'd be willing to edit the templates and create a lot of things. But you guys would need to help as well. Not just with resources, not everyone is good at that, but it would be cool if we could clean the CR. And maybe edit it so you can edit your uploaded files with updates and stuff. I will see if I can get DF to read this. We REALLY need to clean the CR. X)
