There will be a small forum bugfix upgrade and maintenance this Wednesday starting at 8:00PM ET. Downtime should be a maximum of a few hours. The forum should be running again before midnight that day.

During the downtime, you can always find us on Discord.

It will be already two years in January 2017 that we have done the last fundraising campaign to cover our Domain Name and Hosting Fees. Two years ago people donated enough to cover 100% those fees. We are doing a campaign starting today until January 30th to raise 220$, 190$ being 2 years hosting fees and two times 15$ for domain renewal. A first 15$ was paid in September for the Domain Name.

We hope most of forum users will chip in even if only a little bit. This is a small community and it can continue being a nice place for a long time if people want to. We will probably do fundraising activities like special stream in the next weeks so keep an eye out.

Donation through paypal only are accepted. The Donate button redirect to paypal so the transaction is secure. After donating your donation may not appear right away as I need to "approve" each donation (e.g. verify my paypal account regularly).


We hope this fundraising campaign will be a success like in 2015!

Edit: Campaign was a success! I'll leave donations open for a while. If we get extra money, it will go toward a better and longer hosting. You can donate here:

Short Story Contest Winners!

We had a really good turnout for the Short Story Contest! In total we received nine entries and it was an absolute joy to read them all! In the end I picked two winners, with a combination of insight, relevance, and writing accuracy; these two stories stood above the rest. As much as I enjoyed reading all of the entries, some had several errors spell-check could have caught, while others were left a little open-ended but were otherwise very compelling. The writers for the contest had some great insights and thoughts into many characters in FF6, both primary- and side- characters, and I encourage people to share their work! In fact, I will be making a fan-fiction thread where people can post their own works for feedback/discussion. So keep an eye out for that.

Without further adieu, here are the winners!
(story titles were by me, as neither entry had one.)

It is with a real joy that we are welcoming B-Run as a new staff member! After being a helpful person in many threads and leading the 15th man project, B-Run (formely Edrin) is now leading the community side of the Forums with is weekly streams and other projects such as the text-edit contest. He also not too long ago announced the revival of his hack, Children of Vector, which should have a community side via his streams.

Speaking of the text-edit contest, it is getting really interesting: https://www.ff6hacking.com/forums/showth...p?tid=3277

You have until July 6th to submit your entries. If you don't feel like registering just for this, you can send your entries via twitter or Facebook as well!
