There is going to be a major forum security update on Saturday thus the need to close the forum for an undetermined amount of time. The downtime period should start around 10:00 am EST on Saturday so don't be surprise if you get a 403 forbidden error while trying to access the site on that day.

A new forum theme is available for selection from now on. It is inspired by the FFIX menu. Some colors problems have been fixed, like on the reputation screen.This theme also has the new featured projects window and random screenshots (different each time you load the page). There is 3 screenshots for now, but we would like to bring this number up to 10, hence the need for new screenshots from you guys. Check Satoascorpion's announcement for the specifications. Also, screenshots from FF6 spin-off or related games will be accepted from now on as long as they meet the others requirements.

To select the new theme, just go to the bottom right of the page and choose "Final Fantasy IX theme". If you have comments about the theme feel free to post them.

My next step is to fix the previous forum themes and you can expect a grey version of the new theme also in a near future.

Greetings, fellow Final Fantasy VI hackers! Satoascorpion here, takin' the spot of Zeemis, who's stepped down to pursue bigger, and better things.

The staff and I have been pretty quiet lately, because we're working on alot of the site's behind-the-scenes things. Fixing tiny programming hiccups, cleaning up and adjusting files, and tweaking a few features!

But that's not what this announcement is for. We'd like your help to spruce up the place with an updated front-page feature; screenshots! We'd like screenshots. Show us an example of your hacking skill! We want to see what YOU are capable of!

So ladies and moogles, send me, via PM; your screenshots! Below are the requirements;

• Be Tasteful: If it's obviously offensive, lets not show it. Having a hack with offensive material is perfectly fine. But a public image specifically portraying such for the purpose of attention or shock value is just inappropriate.

• PNG Only: At the moment, the system we're implementing will only take PNG images. Please have your image properly saved in PNG format. If it is sent to me in another format (gif, jpg, etc); I will properly convert it to a PNG myself. Someday in the future, we may accept animated gifs; but for now, we do not.

• 256 x 224 only: 256 pixel width, 224 pixel height. This is the standard size for ZSNES screenshots, and it is what our system uses. If you don't know how to take a screenshot in ZSNES, push F1 while in-game. This will pause the game, and bring up the new menu. Go down to "Save Snapshot" and hit enter. Make sure it's set to PNG format, not BMP.
  

Hey guys and gals! I bring forth important news:

There has been a radical change in staff here at FF6hacking. Long time site owner and manager Zeemis has decided to step down from the main management role to pursue his 3d modeling career, and has decided it best to step down. We all wish him the very best and are grateful for all that he has done for this site throughout the years, as well as getting many of us interested in hacking FFVI to begin with. He will always be a welcomed member here!

We as a team have decided that the site is now the property of every staff member and that we are all on equal terms, and will share the work load. We will continue to do our best to run it as good as possible far into the future. We welcome Madsiur and Satoascorpion as full members of staff! They both very much deserve it and will help to make the site better than ever. Satoascorpion is now the elected new head of the site, so please send all messages regarding registration, login issues or any questions/comments regarding the site that you may have to him, good or bad lol.

We are aware that there is still a problem with the sprite database, and are working to rebuild it. We're also now deciding how things like contests, and screenshot of the month will continue to work or not, since that was Zeemis's thing, so please bare with us.

Look forward to a bright future here at FF6hacking!

Thanks,
Mike (Gi Nattak)
