RMRK is closing

And now, the entire RESOURCES forum in the RMRK Archive Board have had their content set to their original creators, and their timestamps properly set. Yep, it took literal hours to deal with them all. However, some of the resources were attributed to members of OUR forum, including Lunarea, Reives and Bravo2Kilo.

Time for the GoodNews/BadNews.

I have now applied proper attribution to all event systems saved within the RMRK archive. That means any RPGMaker XP, VX or VXAce event system post now gives full post ownership to the 'guest' owner of the original thread from RMRK, be it VianoceGames, Nessiah, jameswhite89 or Grafikal.

And with that, the original timestamp/date of the thread was corrected to match the original. And insofar as any remaining attribution, only the three Scripts Databases for these engines needs to be covered.

However, there is some painful news.

If you have gazed through the archive as of recent, many images are not showing. It is not your browser as I have tested with Firefox, Chrome, Seamonkey, Edge and DuckDuckGo, but an apparent issue with the image hosting site. My tests not only took place at my home, but offsite at a public library with roughly the same results.

Even worse, I found that many free image hosting sites are suffering such a malady. As such, all 2200+ images I had rescued from Photobucket and some scraped from now-extinct sites are now needing a different host.

Unless the issue is fixed, I will need to once-more use IMGUR for all 2200+ images despite the irreconcilable differences between it and the UK. But of free hosting that supports animation, no cap limits and other required conditions, IMGUR appears the best possible solution.

I will still wait a couple of weeks to see if the issue with the imagehost in use resolves the issue. But I am being realistic about the chance of resolution.
