Thanks! Glad you like the project.

 

Also glad you keep this place running too. It may not be active anymore, but it's got a lot of history, and it's nice to pop back in and see things that happened here before too.

 

Would be neat if it could be revived, but I'm not sure if that's possible right now.

Yeah, the main reason I keep it up and running is because of the history we have. A lot has been shared here, and it would be a shame to let it all fade into obscurity.

And another quick update, for the exactly zero people checking.

*lurks on a daily basis*

Looks pretty good dude. And yeah, I suppose you could say the place is kinda dead, but I'll still keep it up and running.

I totally forgot to restore that feature after the upgrade. It's now back.

Being able to use the gcn's old theme.

Which theme? We've had many in the past.

So, the job is going pretty well, and I'm enjoying it. A tiny snag though: My laptop decided that now was a good a time as any to die. So, I'm typing this on my tablet. However, this means that I can't take care of the technical stuff, my projects are on hold for an uncertain amount of time, etc.

So, until I can get it all sorted, gonna have to leave Zeth, Gump, and Arcaith in charge a tad longer.

Just a quick update: I've managed to get a job, so hopefully it should make things easier for me. To say that I'm relieved and overjoyed to be part of the workforce once again would be the understatement of the decade.

I'll keep you guys apprised of my situation as events unfold. Fingers crossed, though, that everything starts going well for me.

I added some blocks to the portal, providing the last 10 topics pulled from the News category. I will be happy to take suggestions for additional content people would like to see on the portal, and if possible, I will attempt to implement it.

If this is unsatisfactory, I can simply change the default page to load the forum index, as opposed to the portal.

The portal has actually been like that for a while, due to me not knowing what to fill the page with. >.>

I can easily change it so that the forum is the default page.

Since posting that message, I lived in a homeless shelter for about two months, before moving into a boarding house. Circumstances are still shit, and I have to rely on mobile data for internet. Money has also become extremely tight, and there have been days where I've gone without eating, just so I can have enough food to last until my next welfare pay. Even then, $500 a fortnight, minus approximately $350 to pay for rent at the boarding house, as well as other bills doesn't leave me with much money to last two weeks.

To make things even worse, every single job I have applied for in the past year has turned me down, which hasn't helped my depression. I'm trying to take life one day at a time, though it is becoming increasingly more difficult. With how desperate times are getting, I'll probably be forced to get rid of this community as well, since it costs me US$14.95 a month for hosting, plus US$15 a year for the domain name, and it really is money I can't afford. Unless something works out soon, I won't be able to do much of anything I hold dear anymore.

I just wanted to state that I will likely not be around very often for an as yet unknown amount of time. I suppose I should explain my current situation.

On Sunday, April 16 (AEST), I was the victim of domestic violence. Two days later, I received a message from my mother (yeah, I lived with my mother, brother and sister) who told me that it would be for the best if I could find alternative accommodation. At this time, I am by all definitions, homeless. I'm attempting to sort out housing via the state government's public housing program, and for now, am couch surfing at a friend's house, but this arrangement is only temporary.

I have no idea when everything will be sorted out, or what the future even holds, which is working wonders on my mental state. Ever since the assault, I've been having trouble sleeping due to night terrors, and my mood has been all over the place.

I will do what I can in the community, and will be around whenever I can, but until I can get my shit sorted out, my activity will likely be erratic.

Darn, Looks like I wasn't right after all! That's okay though, this place looks alright. I think I'll stick around

Oh, don't misunderstand, while this community is meant to be focusing on all video games, it is obvious that the main focus here is Zelda, considering it's the home of Zelda projects like Ura, and so on. So yeah, we can unofficially call us a Zelda community.

Either way, it'll be nice having more people around.

Hey, nice of you to join us here.

A common misconception first of all is that we are a Zelda community. We do have a massive amount of people who are here because of the various Zelda projects and research that have been going on over the years, but this place is more about all video games, not just about Zelda. That being said though, I do hope you enjoy it here. I'm always happy to welcome people into the community.

The shoutbox, which has been a part of the community for quite some time, has finally been retired. This decision was made because it was limited in its capabilities, and it was not entirely real-time. In its place, I have decided to create an official Discord server, which can also allow people to better communicate in a more real-time setting, and by voice if desired.

If you decide to join (it's free, quick to download/install, and as an added bonus, still usable if The GCN is offline for maintenance or other issue), we ask that you read and abide by the rules laid out.

The invite link can be found either in the top navigation bar, or by clicking here. We hope to see you in Discord!

In addition, a tutorial to show how to get your Discord account promoted to have full member rights is available here.

How have I not posted in here yet?!

Okay, first thing's first. This mod looks amazing! I know we have things like Super Mario Maker, but this is just downright breathtaking. I love what you've done with it.

Secondly, given how things are going, I'm really looking forward to trying it out when it's done.

Phenomenal work, dude!

Not a problem, dude.

Hey, welcome back! What was your original account name? If I can find it, I can merge it into your current account, so you can have all the post content you originally had.

This looks really good, man. Looking forward to seeing more from you.

Also, as a side note, if you have any updates, you can simply use the "Upload new version" on the project's download page. That way, it should archive older versions, and allow you to keep a nice changelog.

This is looking awesome. Also, since Sendspace is cancer, feel free to upload this onto the GCN download system.

If you need any help getting that done, please don't hesitate to send a message my way.
