Forum Updates Happening

[DerVVulfman]

The forum now has over 900 main posts re-created within the RPG Maker Central Archives. They are being recreated oldest (or last visited) to newest, so no RPGMaker MV or MZ plug-ins have yet been posted. Oddly, there are a pair of RPGMaker VX scripts within the collective; an odd thing indeed when it previously went by RPGMakerVXAce.Net.

A slight but entertaining update...

The RPGMaker Central now boasts over 950 recreated script posts, again all almost exclusively RPGMaker VXAce and not a MV or MZ script yet in sight.  But fear not, for I did download every page and can safely say that there are plug-in thread awaiting to be restored.

Indeed, I did download every page that had an actual viable script or plug-in post that was active, or at least to the best of my knowledge. Sadly, there are a number of threads I could not save because the author's content was hosted on sites that no longer exist and could not be backed up with the Internet Archive. However, if there was content that was backed up by the Internet Archive, I downloaded it to my system in the event of emergencies.

You may ask, "How much content did you acquire?".  RPGMaker Central, formerly RPGMakerVXAce.Net, had 100 inline pages of threads within their Scripts and Plugins board. And of these, there were 25 script/plug-in threads per page.  Due to the issue with dead links, many may have only 17 or 20 active/viable threads per page. But that's saying a lot.  Especially with what I now state.

I have uploaded the oldest 60 inline pages worth of scripts from RPGMaker Central.  Given the knowledge that some of the inline pages contain but few threads, I can safely state that I am well beyond 60% done. In fact, I surmise I only have one third of the RPGMaker Central scripts to upload.

Having posted all of the oldest 'replied' threads first, I am now well into threads created or commented upon within late 2015.  And given the release of RPGMaker MV was in 2015, I should be uploading RPGMaker MV (and maybe MZ) scripts very... VERY... soon.

And to those wondering about why the endeavor to have this archive, let alone an archive board, please check the status of the Internet Archive.  It has come to my attention that it has been under a heavy DDOS barrage since the end of September this year, and access is spasmotically sporatic at best.
