Hey, if you folks want to band together and make a new MS, I'm all for it!  I'm sure Spyder will approve, though I'll contact him first before making any major changes to the site.  Unfortunately I've got a bit too much going on right now to help with coding or site design, but what I can do is provide you with perhaps a test subdomain (like newsite.mysticsoftware.com) that will eventually become the new site for you guys to play around with, provided you are able to come up with something.  Spyder's only stipulation when handing over the site for me to host was to keep all the services up (i.e. game downloads, forums), so as long as you intend to keep that, we should be good.

As far as forums go, I've been using Simple Machines on other websites and have had no trouble with spambots on them due to their multiple plugins and stuff against that.  (I would imagine an upgraded PHPBB3 would offer better protection as well.)  If you want to try to migrate the data base to either a current PHPBB3 or Simple Machines, AlienDude, I suppose I can give you access to take a look.  My main concern of course would be keeping the DAL RP intact. ;)

Let me know what you folks think!

Yeah maybe. Perhaps it could be expanded beyond just being about the RPG Toolkit.

What we should do...Is band together and have MS be...reborn into something that we can be proud of.

Indie gaming site...perhaps?

If you can find me the db data I can maybe take a crack at it. I can also ask how my buddies at the MPT forums fixed the bot problem. That would enable new blood.

Main thing is that there's no real reason to the average aspiring gamemaker to stray from TKZ anymore and the other system's own forums. There needs to be a new value for this site. The question to ask what this site really was.

An example I read about was about a company that make really high-quality drill bits. Best in the industry...until a Chinese company started distributing bits at a better price of comparable quality. They felt doomed. But a few enterprising individuals got together and were weighing options on how to steer the company. WHO ARE THEY? What kind of company are they, really?

They felt doomed as they only thought themselves as a supplier of high-quality bits, their success in the can. But the light bulb went on. They weren't the supplier of high-quality BITS but the supplier of high-quality HOLES. They then refactored their company and became a leading manufacturer of industrial lasers.

There needs to be some laser action here. Good luck. I am here to help.

Well, it's nice to know some people still care then.

Anyways, I've moved the Black Walkway to RPGMaker XP. Yes, I have betrayed the toolkit. Progress is much better now that I've switched. Who knows, maybe I'll actually finish the damned game this time? Until then, we can all play my old games. Smile

Awwww... Yeah, I hear ya.  This was definitely one of the better communities during it's time.  But alas, once DAL ended I got caught up in other projects and this site fell to the wayside on my visiting list.

I currently pay for MS on it's own hosting account and failing that, I'm pretty sure Spyder wants to keep it up.  I've been thinking about moving it to the virtual machine I have my comic websites on to save money, but blast, there are a LOT of games, and I'm not 100% sure we can spare the resources there, since we're constantly expanding.  Either way, I don't think MS is going to disappear anytime soon.  One minor annoyance is that there's no easy way to upgrade the forums... erm... someone installed PHPBB3 when it was still in beta *grumbles*, and upgrades from that aren't supported.  So the forums here are kinda locked in place and I had to disable new user registrations because we started getting a spambot flood a while back.  (Not that there's really a draw for new users anyway.)

Anyway! *hugs everyone nostalgically*

Still holds true tho some will be considered produced in book form rather than games, especially NE: The Harrier Rebellion as well as some other ideas I haven't really told anyone yet. One of those hidden ones may be a CG movie, whenever I figure out all that stuff.

I am revamping the site to deal solely with web design and graphics for now, and will have a new look. I have about 4 ideas in mind and will be trying them out over the next few weeks.
