Nobody replied so I may be forced to stay with Blogger. I don't want to because Google needs to update Blogger. Its' been too long since their last update.

I asked them on their forums. I did not see a link to directly message customer support.

Hi everybody! I was starting to transition my blog from Blogger to Wordpress. My plan was to buy a domain and have a more professional website. However, my plans have been bashed. I imported my Blogger blog to Wordpress and was suspended after the import. I do not understand what went wrong. My blog does not break Wordpress's rules. You can see my blog in the link below. I removed all ads before I purchase a domain from Wordpress. Has everyone experienced this problem? What is the best way to contact Wordpress? I tried raising the issue at their forums, but no one replied to my message.

Hi guys! It's been too long since we last talked! I've been looking into MV and start to restart my project on it. My mind is fresh with new ideas on how to improve my current project. I may have to start all over from the beginning. How good is the engine?

The game looks interesting. I might try it out one day.

I've been working hard on my game lately and coming up with new ideas. One of these ideas is to make unlockable characters. I would introduce these characters as temporary playable characters at their part in the story. After their story is completed, then a mini quest would become available to complete and unlock the character. What do you think?

The forum needs many changes. There are many sections that are dead, cluttered, and unnecessary. We don't need tutorials listed in the forum when their links are on top of the page. We have so many dead members here that we should start fresh with our current members and build from there. Delete the dead accounts and keep members who are active and have game pages. This site looks dead to most visitors because most members are inactive and very few people post each day. We need to build off of active members posting and advertising on Social Media. We need a new staff member to take over the social media sites. Hell I would love to be that person. I use Twitter and Facebook to build my blog's audience. Reddit is a great place as well for us.

I've put too much work in my current game to make the jump. I wish there was a way to transfer VX ACE projects to the new system, but I highly doubt something that complex will be made. It's about time for them to bring back the side view system. They graphics look very nice. Characters' artworks are similar to VX's work so I can see them bashing well together as far as the characters go.

I have said for years that this forum should restart fresh. The site's current structure is perfect. I love the Games, Resources, Tutorials, and Engines sections. Those do not need to change. We need a fresh forum with a new staff, who want to lead this place.

Many game development programs like the RPG Maker provide graphics along with the package. People often criticize developers for only using RTP graphics, and I have faced this criticism from my peers. I do respect it. Custom graphics make your game standout as a true original title. Seeing the same RTP graphics in many games takes away your game's image. What will players remember from it? Joe, Mike, and Tim have Ralph's RTP graphics in three different games. How are these characters special? Can they be special if they look the same? The answer is no. A character needs his or her own image for players to quickly recognize the character. We all know who Super Mario is without someone needing to explain who he is to us.

Your map looks fantastic! It is very colorful and highlights the game's quality graphics. It's one of the best maps that I have seen in a while.

This was a great read. My game's first demo is little more than an hour long, and I want to expand upon that with a more proper demo. Players want to more info to determine if they want to invest their money and time into a game.

This doesn't affect me too much. I don't have a good a cover at the moment. Please post the cover's dimensions so we can know in advance on how to change or make them.

Thanks for the tips, Marked! Starting an affiliate list is a great idea! I'm going to share the idea with a few guys and see what they think about it!

Enterbrain dropped the ball with VX ACE. They were doing a good job at the start by releasing new resource packs at good pieces. Unfortunately, they stopped making resource packs within the first year. It was a missed opportunity to sale content to the market because developers are always looking for new resources.

I'm having trouble building back links to my blog. I only have 17 back links at the moment and that's extremely bad for a two year old site. The site has links on social media sites and forums of course. However, that's not very many links. What is a good method of building back links?

Wow! I just now found out about this. I'm not sad one bit. Their content policy really hurt the site and it never recovered from it. I was banned for removing my content from the site.

I'm planning to hire someone or individuals to create custom graphics for my game. I don't want my project to just have RTP's graphics. It should standout as its own title. What would be a fair price for one or more characters?

The new site is AWESOME! Mark, you out did yourself once again. GDU has the best webdesign in the indie gaming community.

Hi DynamiciIIGames! It's great hear about your parody game. I can't wait to take a look at it. Enjoy the forums and feel free to join and start conversations!

Hi THISISFC! Welcome to the nicest gaming community on the web! I remember starting out with RPG Maker XP, quickly switched to VX, and finally landed with VX ACE. You can make a profile page for your XP game in the games section. What's your favorite food?

Let's Plays, game guides, and many review sites ruined story driven gamin. We know everything in advance as its thrown in front of our faces. Then of course there are lazy developers who don't focus on writing a decent story, they only care about pushing the next game for profits.

HI guys! Guess who's back!? :) Almost every company is promoting their products on social media. Are you guys promoting your games through social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube? I just recently started working on my game again and quickly went to social media to promote its development. I didn't a lot of retweets and favorites as the game is pretty much unknown outside of the RM community. It's worth a shoot to promote along side my other projects. If you have any experiences promoting your projects, then please share them!

It's a shame they stopped making free resources. The official site has caused so many problems. It killed a lot of sites as everyone ran over there and it is ran by the same untactful bunch who originally ran the VX site. If the staff dislikes you then you are banned. They are very racist as they don't have a problem with members saying "there shouldn't be any African American characters in RPG Maker games" and they will ban you if you are offended by such comments. True story.

HI Smoke_Wolfpack! Welcome to GDU. The RPG Maker VX ACE the perfect engine for beginners. It has all of the basic tools that you need to make a fun game. What's your favorite food?
