This. I mean to be fair, the site was probably the only comprehensive database of ROM hacks on the net, but the administration was terrible. Nightcrawler and KaioShin are utterly insufferable assholes. But this isn't exactly uncommon among the ROM hacking scene. It seems most of these guys place somewhere on the autism spectrum and genuinely lack the social faculties to understand why people hate dealing with them.

Maybe this is a mixed blessing, though. Someone might come up with a better replacement for RHDN that isn't overrun with Aspergers.

>> No.3862524

The site has been down the last handful of times I tried visiting in the last couple days. Pretty shitty deal. I really liked that place, and visited almost every day.

Hope something can be worked out/figured out to get it back up and running.
