Punk 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2007 Staff Management: Punkid89 Administrator: Funeral Global Moderator: Neovastato11 Originally... I originally had a forum called RMXPWorld. It used to be on invisionfree and then there was one on IPBfree. I didn't know much about coding and hacks or whatever to make my forum cool like those popular forums like CA. Plus, I was told that RMXPWorld was taken and it went pretty inactive so I closed it down. The creation of RMXPUniverse. Funny story how the forum got created. Sure I'll feel like an idiot later for posting this but what the hell. I won't even mention names of websites although I want to. There was this huge community that was popular. I've somehow became the guy that spammed the forum games over there...(how could you spam the forum games forum? Being creative makes me a spammer? WTH.) and there was a few things going on over there that made me angry and jealous. One day, I was in the IRC Chatroom and I decided to take a leave somewhere so a friend of mine orchestrates a prank on me over there. I get back, I get tons of flames for something I didn't do, I get a warn and I get the banhammer from IRC for a day. That got me pretty p.o.ed and made me want to start RMXPUniverse. Purpose? So I didn't exactly know what the heck was going to be the purpose of RMXPUniverse. So I decided to make this a place where noobs don't have to get picked on. One day, I was creating the topsites for my forum and then that's when I thought to myself, this forum I have should live up to its name. And so I want it to live up to its name. That's when the slogan for RMXPUniverse became "Creating and building bridges with communities." That was when I also created the RMXPUniverse topsites. So I made a few mistakes. Ok guys, so I made a few mistakes. Everyone makes them. Sure I made some stupid decisions on what to add to RMXPUniverse like...everyone having their own music player...the heck was I thinking. Extras - Animes - Arcades - Blogs (Actual ones.) - Chat - Gallery - IRC - Music Player (If you don't like Windows Media Player or something, you could play your song on the RMXPUniverse music player while browsing. Play the song directly from your hard drive or from a URL. Heck, you could even play your movies!) - RTPMaker XP Character Maker - Shoutbox - Topsites - Wiki Personalize! - A huge PM inbox, so no need to stress about your PM inbox space. - Personalize your avatar. (Filters? Sure. Non-adobe users can benefit!) - Personalize your name. (Sure, edit your name a little bit.) - Your signature is in a box. It's so our discussion pages don't get flooded and I don't have to worry about sig restrictions.) - Personalize your signature. (Since your sig is in a box, I've added a few features some may call useless. You could adjust the height of your sig from a drop down menu, add a background image (People got creative with this), change the style of border, change border color, change sig background color, even have a filter on your sig. - Post your pictures. Use our gallery for your needs. Post screenshots of your games or submit your graphics! - Create your own weblog. Talk about life, the game you're developing...or anything you like! LATEST UPDATES! - We now have a site! (DyingYoung, you no longer have to smack a freewebs user like me. :P I'm using awardspace!) - I am currently working on RTPMakerXP: Tileset Maker! Feel free to say what you have to say but can you please...just please, refrain from cursing?

Punk 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2007 Marked? You're back as admin at RMXPUn? Just a little shocked y'know and thanks. :D If you have any questions about the new RTPMaker Tileset Maker, go ahead and ask. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted April 18, 2007 Yeah, I'm back. Have been since the end of last month. I am interested in this Tileset maker. Although, I think it may be a bit offtopic, so if you would like, you could make a separate topic about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted April 25, 2007 I got this email today: If you would all like to know, I have disabled posting in almost every single forum, I also disabled the additional features because it is now time. I would like to say that it's been one hell of a ride for us. Sure we encountered some bad stuff but we had some good times, I hope. Anyway, I'd like to say that it has been fun managing RMXPUniverse. This is going to suck greatly for me, personally because I cared so much about my own forum and this is the first time I feel like I've done a good job - no, a great job at trying to get my forum somewhere, to get it noticed. But, not the way I wanted it to get noticed. It's been a crazy nine months since I managed it and man am I going to miss those days. I am putting RMXPUniverse to an end because simply, we are approaching dangerously closely to the inevitable. The lack of activity, the lack of discussion, the lack of support just shows it was on its way to the grave. I also know that I have made some mistakes during my first few months of running this forum which I now regret doing. Anyway, what I came to say is that, it's been fun, a little hectic but fun but now, I must, let it go. It really pains me to make this forum go offline because I worked hard to get this forum somewhere but from the looks of things right now, it seems theres no way out. Now Universers. Here is what I want you to do. I would like you to back up every single one of your posts that you felt that was important to you. That includes but not limited to: resources, tutorials, event systems, scripts, and projects. I do promise you this, I am still making the tileset maker and I will finish it and release it. Finally, I'd like to thank you for taking the time out to read this, thank you. Reminder that all forums are now read only, you may only respond to feedback forum. I wanted to post it here, because it reminds me so much of me. It must have been hard to write that. I don't think many members will understand, but I sure know exactly what you mean.

Punk 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2007 It was a very hard decision for me to make and I am personally sad that I had to make this decision. But not to worry, I'm not going to abandon RMXPUniverse completely. I have been thinking of ideas inside and out on what exactly to do with RMXPUniverse. Also, the tileset maker idea is not completely trashed. It is still in progress. :P Edit: Thank you Marked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
