Why is it so bad for this site in particular? What use is there in spamming this obscure, old-school forum? Who is even going to see this, let alone click on most of the garbage they send here? I just don't get it.

Hmm... I see. They do tend to be quite aggressive with the spam when they appear. Probably temporarily disabling registrations could help while the bots and spam is being delt with. I think Vixy tried cleaning up a bit too when she fixed up the theme a few days ago.

I also know that old spam bot accounts don't really log in again so once you reach those accounts, you can try slowly opening up registrations, maybe with additional verification that bots will struggle with.

But honestly, any effort does help a bit. It's just quite a lot of spam atm so it'll take quite a while.

Yeah, it is a lot of spam and bots atm. But it's actually not a lot of work. It's just a bit time consuming.  Basically, you target the bot accounts and delete their account together with all messages. I've had to do that with my forum at one point too. 😅

I deleted a significant amount of bot accounts at one point, and more of them kept registering accounts, so my efforts did not help

It's depressing to look at all the projects that Capcom axed. X9 was teased and there's that hack from ages ago, but there's still nothing actually announced. I wish the Dash 3 demo was preserved, somewhat.

I guess I'll link a fav to sorta commemorate this game, cause this is too depressing otherwise.

This is a pretty awesome conservation effort. I'd love to offer my own collection of Rockman music if this were to ever be updated and maintained.

Here's an image by the legendary Tomycase of Aile with her hair down! It's one of my favorites.

The things we have learned since the creation of this thread are so sad. Namely, Starforce 4's cancellation.

Might as well try to kick some activity somewhere. Beat out the bots! Here's a cool ZXA mix from Koki, I've always loved their work.

Yeah, I get what you mean. I also miss forums. I don't think this place is going anywhere, though. Vixy has kept it up during all this time, even if it was a bit abandoned. But based on what she's told me, she does want to work on it again. Just that it'll require a lot of time and work.

That's a relief. The Rockman games aren't even a super big part of my life anymore, but it contributed so much to my childhood that some part of it just won't leave me. I have some fan projects in the work, but I have no idea when I'd even begin to talk about them. It also makes it hard for me to make any discussion topics, but maybe I can do something random. You have to start somewhere, and I'm still getting used to forums. I guess the one disadvantage of all these older forums is that I really miss markdown.

There are just a lot of structural problems, but with proper moderation, I think they could be overcome and we could perhaps use existing Mega Man spaces like Facebook groups and Reddit boards to spread the word.

I agree somewhat. Even figuring out how to upload a pfp was a chore, and I've used forums with the exact same base that didn't have this issue. The social/messenger options were also funny. MSN and some other one I've never used before. Gosh, I probably sound extremely young.

Very nice! It's looking like a Mega Man forum again!

This actually made me want to create my own forum, like I had way back when, so I did. Can't imagine it'll have a ton of traffic, but hey.
