A lot of what you're saying makes it sound like you'd be better off at the actual hackedgamesdiscussion.org (I'm assuming there are sites for discussing/making/etc hacks though I'm not sure). Your position makes a lot more sense than those who aren't interested in general hack discussion but just want to move the TAS hack topics out of the main forums, though. I can respect that. I think the choice between creating a forum for sharing and casually discussing new hacks vs having these topics (like we've been over, I'm not predicting a huge increase) in the current subforums is a very easy one. Creating new forums which would be very low in traffic when the current forums aren't remotely close to overloaded is something I very much disagree with, and exactly what Bisqwit tries to avoid, apparently (smart thinking Bisqwit!).

Guess you missed the question K, did you or did you not agree with this: "It's not like the console forums are so super-busy that having the extra 5 hack topics in them stifles traffic to the non-hacked game thread or make the forums so cluttered they're unreadable, etc."? As for your question, reread every post I made in this thread, as well as asteron+anubis's, to get my opinion. And just to repeat one other thing which is slightly unrelated and unimportant but whatever: "I do think that there would a lot more talk about hacks if they had their own subforum." "I think you're wrong about that. I don't think we'd see a huge (or even a noticable) increase in number of hack related topics no matter what rules Bisqwit added/removed."

Because if it was allowed to talk about any hack there would be a lot more than 5 topics.
So what I wrote ("It's not like the console forums are so super-busy that having the extra 5 hack topics in them stifles traffic to the non-hacked game thread or make the forums so cluttered they're unreadable, etc. ") is accurate at the moment? Also, I think you're wrong about that. I don't think we'd see a huge (or even a noticable) increase in number of hack related topics no matter what rules Bisqwit added/removed. Edit: Unless he simply renamed the site hackedgamesdiscussion.org I guess. But you know. This is primarily a TAS site, and I don't see that changing any time soon.

I said this earlier in the thread: "It's not like the console forums are so super-busy that having the extra 5 hack topics in them stifles traffic to the non-hacked game thread or make the forums so cluttered they're unreadable, etc. " I guess it's safe to say you strongly disagree with this statement? I'd be interested in hearing why.

What about from non-TAS perspective? Right now there is no place to just discuss hacks. There is one forum for "other games" so why not one for hacks? There people could share their favorite hacks with everyone and people might find new stuff to play that they haven't known about before. Maybe the rarely used "other games" forum could be renamed to "Other games and discussion of hacks".
Because there isn't a place to discuss hacks from a non-TAS perspective (which in itself makes no sense, should we also come up with a section for non-TAS discussion of regular games for each console?), we should create a new section for TAS discussion of hacks? These suggestions make little sense to me. asteron and anubis summed it up pretty well.

Let's put it this way. Currently, where on the forum would you petition for a hack to be accepted to the site? If anywhere, it would have to be in the forum for console games that the hack belongs to (EG: GBA, Genesis, SNES), right? But if you want to attract administrator attention to the fact that you're asking for the hack to be accepted, you have to use valuable subject space to indicate that it's a hack you'd like to see published. Whereas if there were a hacks forum, all you would have to do is post a thread about the hack, and because it's in the hacks forum, administrators will already be aware that it's a hack, and can safely assume that you want a TAS of it published on the site.
Hi Bisqwit, Just shooting you a quick pm to ask about a verdict about this pretty cool hack X we've been discussing in the NES/SNES/DMG/ETC forum. Here's the link to the discussion thread, if you could take a look and get back to us whenever we'd really appreciate it. Fabian I also don't follow the logic that says a hack topic posted in a regular forum needs a (Hack asking for evaluation) tag, while it wouldn't be needed if the same topic was posted in a hack forum.

Fill in the correct word yourselves.

Well, the hack forum could have a subforum for each console. Alternately, each console forum could have a subforum for hacks. (this option makes more sense to me)
So what is it you're proposing? New forum for all hacks? New forum for hacks with 5 (or whatever) subforums, one for each console? Adding hack subforums to each console forum? Something else?

That's something you (anyone) need to ask Bisqwit.

You can find the things needed to get the hack without using torrents if that's the problem

mrz, Is that still a test run/fun run you're doing? If not, you might want to confirm that this hack would be accepted, otherwise you might be doing a lot of work for nothing.

moozhooh, Didn't you think it was even slightly funny that 4 different guys made the same suggestion? I mean this is rhetorical of course since obviously you didn't, but I did.

JXQ, Just wanted to stop by and suggest changing the settings on your TV. A reason you might experience this game as very dark could be because your TV's brightness isn't very high. If so, this can be easily changed.

I want to make clear that I've never played or watched this game. I just want to clarify if, whenever Samus gets hit, she puts her hand up for half a second, during which you can't lock onto your target. Is this accurate?

I watched the two test runs. I was not impressed by the game, I think it tried way too hard. If it does get accepted (I would vote no) and someone decides to run it, I'll try to help with feedback and stuff.

comicalflop, By "next generation of TASers", do you in fact mean "people from SpeedDemoArchives"?

JXQ, Simply outstanding. Edit: Looking at the program some more, I noticed there's a movie format called "DMG", and when you click it it says "Error, format not recognized". I don't really get that, is it supposed to be a joke? I've never heard of DMG and don't see it mentioned anywhere on this site. It also seems odd that all the major movie formats seem to be supported except for game boy movies. Hope someone can fill me in here.

Kyrsimys, I won't be inviting you to my fun parties. Because you're a party pooper.

Kitsune, I don't want to fight with you. I think these guys are just being jerks. So, I've heard you're a girl. Is this true?

To get back on track, I propose we give feces to Xkeeper for being a retard in this thread.

Like Bag of Magic Food? Edit:
Edit: Also, Xkeeper, do you find it ironic how you "go ballistic" when someone (who doesn't have english as his first language) mistakes lose for loose or vice versa, and yet you spell it "rediculous"? Just curious.
It's 2:40 AM and that word's a lot longer than "lose/loose". Not to mention, it's obviously a typo, where things like "lose/loose" are both words and (in some cases) interchangable.
IT'S A LONGER WORD? WHAT THE HELL???? And no it's not a typo. It's you not knowing how to spell. Again, what the fuck? Others, Here is the thread in question if no one understands what I'm talking about.
