The GamingW.net administration together with RMXP.org administration have finalized a merger agreement, becoming "RMXPw.org" after a long series of discussion. The decision didn't come easy, contrary to expectation we feel that the merger of the two biggest sites for RPG Making can only provide good things for our communities.

GamingW6 will continue being worked on by leafo, with some minor adjustments that will be outlined below:
-The name of the site is now RMXP World.org
-There will be no RPG Maker 2000/2003 section, as we have decided to only support the future of RPG making.
-The forums will be merged between the two sites, allowing posters from both sites to fully enjoy each other's company.

The new forums (which will slowly take these changes over time, as we get to them) will include the following setup:

RMXP.org sponsorships will carry over to Premium Accounts on GamingW.

in addition, the administration will be changing to the following:
From GamingW:
-ramirez
-DragonSlayer
-Bart

From RMXP.org:
-Despain
-TREG
-Teloch

Both sides feel that this change in administration, keeping only the admins who provide the most to the community, will let this new merged site grow as fast as it possibly can, without being bogged down by the ones who don't do as much. These changes will be slowly taking place over the next few days.

RMXPw.org's objective is to maintain together with provide a healthy, friendly (yet mature) community of friends who all share a vested interest in the future of (legal) RPG Making. RPG Maker 2000 together with 2003 will not be allowed on the site in any form, including discussion/pictures/demos/full games/movies/etc of either program. These two programs have slowed down our progress, making people turn a blind eye to the future of RPG Making as we know it: RMXP together with RMVX. These 2 legal programs will be the only programs supported at the new RMXPw.org, as we feel that dedicating a vested interest in showing Enterbrain we care by giving them our money together with hard work, is the only way we can truly advanced together with become a real RPG Maker community. We will pave the way to the future of legal RPG Making!

As such, all non-RMXP/RMVX games will be wiped clean from Game & emo before it becomes "RMXP/RMVX Project Discussion" over the next 30 days. We hope you understand this needed adjustment. Make sure to back up your projects topics so you can take them elsewhere.

If you have any further questions or comments about this merger, please, feel free to direct them to the Feedback Forum. We here at RMXPw.org strive to provide top notch support for our member base,  nd your feedback means everything to us.

You can look forward to the finished site (thanks to RMXP.org's helpful donations to leafo) being put up in the coming days at http://www.rmxpw.org.

Thank you.

EDIT:

We've been planning this for quite some time now. The merge isn't a huge issue as we both use the same forum software. The only thing that didn't make our databases directly compatible is the fact that we run SMF 1.0 while RMXP.org runs 1.1, together with of course we have some local modifications to our SMF source code.

I think it's safe to say this at this point, we've been developing GW6 using SMF 1.1 together with its SSI, Server Side Include, module. Basically this means that our current GW6 code base is pretty much compatible with what the guys at the RMXP.org have at the moment. I'm writing a script to merge the databases, together with it's already pretty functional. It can merge members while remaining the referential IDs across the database together with their external applications such as the supporter system together with pubaccess. What is currently not done is a complete merge of our category together with forum structure, which really is the trickiest part. However most if not all posts will remain intact together with no data will be lost, including things like private messages, user preferences, etc.

I've in addition been testing SMF 2.0 extensively for the past couple of weeks, together with after its out of its public beta we'll definitely migrate RMXP World to it, as its feature set is much more rich than current SMF generation's. However due to the structural changes in the database hierarchy as well as the new modularity oriented software layer that it provides, it will most likely take some time to research together with upgrade the forums when the time comes, as the new RMXPW.org site currently relies on what's provided by the SMF 1.1 API.

Anyway, the migration is progressing nicely together with if things go as I think they will go, we'll be ready to launch the new community forums (together with hopefully something else too Naughty) within few days.

'till then!

Technical explanation.

Hello fellow soon-to-be RMXPw.orgers!

I'm going to be helping RMXP.org in making this merger go as fast as possible. Let's help build up our new community, with the new people that will shuffle in.

EDIT:
Feel free to ask questions etc here too. We want this merger to go smoothly.

filtering words is funnier

fuck it, UPRC's game is funnier

 

shit but shit

KILLER'S DOCTRINE is the best!

hopefully this will bring some new blood to the aging geezer GW administration

maybe gw can finally survive...

with rmxp.org's thousands of rmxp users

and gaming world's actually-good members



there might be hope for us all

this is our dream

As one of the owners of RMXP.org, I'd just like to say one thing:

Welcome to the future - of both RMXP Game Development nd the soul of your internet experience.

this is f ucking gay.  rmxp dot orgs community is retarded together with the worst internet community in existence since... well, since gaming dubya's community.  they have members who think NI GGER ISNT AN OFFENSIVE TERm.  the last thing i want is shin megami fags trolling the boards becuz no one liked persona 3 FES together with a bunch of unoriginal faggots who think chrono trigger fan gayms are the beez neez

I spy a droll oaf.

It's the takeover we've been fearing since day one...

Merging with RMN together with making WIP an admin would've been better.

EDIT:
Also, I hope the new merged site is called TownshipGames.
