We bid Farewell to HBGames

[DerVVulfman]

Dear community members,

It has been brought to our attention that HBGames had closed down, its last day was at the end of April this year. It still has a running Discord, and those with HBGames's url of https://www.arpgmaker.com will find themselves redirected to its invite page.

Formerly opened as RMXP.Org by Eric 'Erk' Butler and Sasha 'ccoa' Harlow, it was a follow-up site and safe harbour to RMXP.net which was then run by Lord Gradient's. Though .Net first formed in May 2004 and made RMXP a popular keyword, it was RMXP.Org that was constructed in 2006 and opened officially during the summer as a sister site for all members to migrate. 

       

It went through hard times, and management changed over a few times.  And after a rebranding to HBGames.Org, it was Wyatt/Ellie/Amy who took the reigns of forum software management and renovation.

By January 2010, the repair work Amy performed included fixes to the quick reply section, direct links, the image uploader and the recovery of Tana's video tutorials.  After that, the community thrived, and it lasted over a decade longer.

But after nearly two decades, we must now bid farewell.

(May 2006 - April 2025)

Very sad news! Another place for RMXP resources gone. I joined Save-Point last year because of the great archive work here. I hope it continues on for many years to come.

At this point, SP is slowly becoming the last bastion of old RM content, both in a discussion and archival sense.
RMRK, AceCentral, HBG are gone...
What else is left besides the official forums?
Perhaps Chaos-Project, but they aren't doing so great either.
Oh well.
