Originally posted by CascadeAre you now the de facto head of the site now that SNN is gone?
I kinda like to think we all have some part in running the site, though I will say I'm probably the most active admin ...
QuoteIs this meant to partially or fully replace the Staff Feedback?
Not at all. Think of it more as an enhancement. I still would like people to use the page for feedback, suggestions or other various things they would like to stay anonymous for.
QuoteAlso, hows life
in your van down by the river
?
For the record, I do not live in a van, anywhere near a river for that matter. I do work in one though and my time at work is oddly enough the most active I am around here

Originally posted by daxWhat's your most anticipated coming SMWCentral event?
The upcoming winter C3. There have been a lot of great ideas floating around and I'm really hoping the big surprise is ready by then.
QuoteWhat do you think SMWCentral can do to become more inviting for the people whose first experience with level design will be Mario Maker?
I know a few people suggested opening up a new forum just for Mario Maker when the time comes, where basically people would be able to show off some of their level design. As far as us getting more users because of the game itself and people wanting more? Always a possibility. LM itself is a pretty good tool and pretty easy to learn the basic stuff. And for other things, that what we have the documents and tutorial sections for. For the rest, there is always usually a few people floating around ready to answer questions new people have. Mario Maker is kinda the wildcard in this whole thing, we don't exactly know how or if it will even affect the site, but be assured, we will be ready for it and make any changes necessary.
Originally posted by Derpy BackslideWhat plans do you have for increasing transparency between staff and the rest of the userbase?
It's kinda the whole point of the new PR group we just put together in hopes that we can bridge the gap the user base feels that is in between us. There are a few more things we plan on rolling out with, but those will be announced at a later date.
Originally posted by thesegafan98What happens when you get banned?
For the most part, it depends on the severity of the ban. It can do anything from stop you from submitting or posting in a specific thread or section all the way up to not allowing you to even view the site. In my opinion, its best to not do anything stupid enough that would get you banned in the first place ;)
Originally posted by Kaisaan SiddiquiHow's your hack?
Why did you randomly stop PMR?
Is Lightvane (the character of your hack) Son of Knuckles and Rouge? I'm just asking...
The hack has been moving along slowly. Work has become quite busy of the past month or so so I haven't had time to touch it, or PMR for that matter.
And no, my character has no relation to Knuckles. That back-story is for a later time...
Originally posted by SokobansolverWhat do you think a Kaizo Sonic game would be like?
Precisely 14 times more frustrating than a standard Kaizo Mario hack. I don't even think anyone in the sonic hacking community has ever given something like that a though...and please don't tell them about the idea either

Answered Above.
Originally posted by NGBWhat's going to happen to the VLDC hack series?
I heard from multiple sources, that it is very well recieved (from the users of this site and many people, who aren't users) and with a particular staff member leaving, we currently have no project leader.
So I want to know, if it is planed to continue the collab style of the VLDC.
Yes, SNN leaving was a sad day for all of us, but I assure you the VLDC will still be a yearly thing. We already have a someone that has stepped up to lead the project for the next one coming up. While I don't exactly know what thew plans are, I think he will do a great job in handling it.
Originally posted by Ladida(kind of a follow-up of the above post) assuming SMWCP2 gets finished in the near future, how probable is a SMWCP3? or will it be spiritually succeeded by another chocolate project? or is it up to someone else to continue it?
When I was leading the SMWCP2 project, I kinda always thought that a SMWC3 would be nice, but only if it was kept way more simple that this version turned out to be. It was so resource heavy, everyone had all these huge plans, and when it all came together, other bit and pieces started falling apart because of it. I will say, I do kinda have a plan for a "spinoff" for SMWCP2, but I'm not releasing any of those details until official beta testing starts. ;)
Originally posted by BerkayDo you have any plans about your hack for the next C3?
Yeah. Actually get some more stuff done on it. :V I would at the very least like to get a demo out, but only time will tell.

Originally posted by KoopsterAre we gonna have any multi-community contests in the near future? I've at least seen a VLDC8 thread in the Talkhaus, but it didn't seem like the event gathered too much attention from anybody who isn't from here anyway. So, any plans on stuff like that?
It already kinda being discussed amongst the PR department. I threw an idea their way the other day. I'll see where they go with it from there.
Originally posted by KoopsterAnd most importantly, when is the banner gonna be made clickable?
Yeah... site coding it not really my department. Best to ask Kieran about that one.
Originally posted by PrizmHave you stabbed Kieran over the cards yet?
For reference, he is talking about the PMR cards I coded. Kieran broke something with them when he did a site upgrade a month or so back. Now I can't have other members hosting games with them anymore T_T. Kieran did alert me of a fix for it, but once again, time is needed. :V

Here is a anonymous question we got on our feeback page;
Originally posted by N/ABring back Caffie Radio! Some people may not like it, but SMW Central is not SMW Central without it!
The new PR team will be helping handling this issue. I know xtreme is the head on this department so I'll have to talk to him and see what up
Good questions for far, and I encourage you to keep them coming. But as I said, lets try and keep the silliness to a minimum; looking at you Nin.
Layout by LDA during C3.
