Tier 1 is kill.

According to this post, Tier 1 will be dead by next Wedsnday. Quite a shame. I wonder if there is anything to be salvaged before this website falls?

Meh. A bunch of cool people, but it's like Gen said. It was inevitable.

It's sad, but nothing can last forever, I suppose. Well, his announcement was very deep and as Lightflare said, made very good points. Anyways, good luck out there Genesis if you're reading this.

I was gonna post here about it but I guess this topic will do too.

 

Not an ideal turnout but it is what it is.

 

I'd suggest getting Excahm's stuff and mAdLaX's stuff. I'll prob PM madlax her website stuff(maybe she can get her own space on MFG or something), Excahm already knows. My stuff I'll put on mediafire though idk who even wants it.

Yzan's coding tutorials are archived on webarchive

Everything else is gonna be gone. I might archive the other tutorials but idk. Kinda pointless.

It's very saddening to me that Tier-1 is being shut down. It really had a lot of potential to grow even bigger and better. I will miss the forum.

 

I wish you good luck with all that you do in the future, Gen.

[Galvatron]

Wow that blows :-(

 

Well the mugen community is still strong. We might expect members from that forum coming to MFFA.

 

Hmm... looks like I better get ready to remove Teir1 from the list:

Awww...Too bad i was really liking the Fast Uploading and Downloading from Tier1 server >: Also coz was easy to get resources help there (Mainly from GLB or Hungry Wolf on my thread) Good things last for too small time =<

Hey Gen! Be on skype more offten bro so i can anoy talk to more offten~

[Demitri]

Well,

 

Besides my personal reasons and troubles, It didn't get the support it needed.

We weren't expecting overnight results but in roughly two months it would have been it's 1 year anniversary. There wasn't a lot to show for that in my opinion.

The fact that it's gonna get shut down suddenly brought people out. That's pretty bad. It could've been me or it could be the state of community as to why that is, but that doesn't matter. I don't doubt in time it could've grown, but let's face it; this community isn't as big as it once was.

 

In terms of my retirement/leave of the community, I feel like I should share it here. I also don't feel like posting again so I'll leave everything here.

 

MFFA was the first site I ever joined in 2006. I knew about MFG, but I had no interest in that place or any others like it.

I believe Ryon just started it up and he invited me since we met on Youtube. There were probably like 8 members at the time (I only remember Ryon, Vash, Legato, Sayzo, BigSally, Black Chaos, Jimp/Drunk Ryu, and I think godchrisangelo was a member before he started OrochiMugen).

Things were just funner then imo. In some respects, the community was worse at the time since it was all anti-warehousing, but it was much larger. During the first few years, I got to see this place grow, but I realized I couldn't grow here so I found other places and people. I got to meet the Mugen Royale folks (iirc the remaining T.H.E. members made that, not 100% since I never joined T.H.E.), and thanks to them pestering me to leak SyN's Shin Lv2 Akuma beta, I met SyN who was my idol at the time, and eventually befriended him. Even became global mod at one point (then admin). From there I ended up meeting MOTVN and his crew(Team G/Phantom G's), and eventually becoming part of that as well. With that, came a lot of drama. Even then though, the community was large, and it was fun. I think due to personal reasons + MOTVN chat-banning me, I took a hiatus for roughly a year. Came back in 2012, met up with a few people I remembered, met GLB again who is like my best friend now, Diss came back not too long after me as well, we helped revive Newage, fought with Zeroz which prob added to Newage's subsequent end. Started Tier 1 with AZ a year ago after a fight in the chat, yadda yadda yadda here we are.

 

The point of all of that is, I've seen and done just about everything. For 10 years, I enjoyed this engine and for 9 years I enjoyed this community. Whatever it is now, I don't like it. I thought the site would help alleviate that feeling but, it hasn't really. Most of the staff feels similar, and I've already lost two who can't stand the community and/or find mugen boring now.

I see it in other creators too. I think I saw O Ilu say something similar, I know SyN is more interested in website coding than mugen. Most of the people I talk to are having more fun doing something else than mugen now.

 

I wanna make games for a living so I'll probably work on learning Unity and possibly get into webdesign since that looks interesting to me.

 

I don't think I'll be posting for a long while after this(i'm gonna finish up Lullaby then leave for good I think) so consider this my goodbye post.

 

It's been fun. I met many great people in this community, and many I can consider real friends even though we've never met and may never meet ever. It's also shown me you can be friends with a person and not even speak the same language, so that kinda gives me hope in life and stuff.

 

While I still lurk, I'll probably only be in T1's xat, Diss' xat, MFFA chat every once in a while, and Skype.

I apologize for the long ass post too, I just don't want to have to mention anything more before I take my leave, plus I like being dramatic :P

 

Peace.

NO!

I remember this. When I joined he site it wasn't long before everything became private. I was just a lurker then. Man...

Came back in 2012, met up with a few people I remembered, met GLB again who is like my best friend now, Diss came back not too long after me as well, we helped revive Newage, fought with Zeroz which prob added to Newage's subsequent end.

This was around the time I became a creator and active member. Newage was kinda quiet when I arrived. It was mostly me and Zeroz posting. GLB was on "vacation". Then Diss showed up...meh. Everything and EVERYONE changed dramatically. Not all bad...but not all good either. Sometimes I feel like I was a key component in the eventual downfall of Newage. Actually first time Gen and I talked was after my first demotion (I believe it was two).

You're cool with me Gen. See ya when I see ya bro.
