    Romhacks Were Never Submitted to the Site But Were Imported from RHDN’s 2024 Dump

    Banned Without Warning

    The Discord ban came without warning or notification and was not discovered until July 6, 2025.

    Subsequently, the following message was sent to Romhack.ing (RHDI) staff via the RHDI website.

    May 29, 2026

    Last year, I randomly discovered I got banned from the RHDI Discord without warning or explanation.

    As a result, I regretfully submit a request to take down my hacks hosted on the site.

    Thank you for your kind attention in this matter.

    Takedown Request Rejected

    RHDI staff promptly replied:

    May 30, 2026

    Thank you for your message. After seeing your takedown request, we categorically reject it on the grounds of it being in response to a ban.

    On that note, we checked our records, and we can confirm that you were in fact banned. It was due to a violation of the following rule:

    No advertising or referrals unless it’s approved by staff.

    I will admit, a ban (without warning) is rather heavy handed for this. But if you would like to appeal and agree to follow the server rules, we can lift the ban.

    Alternative Just as Tyrannical

    One of our Hacking Legends, solidification, had this to say when notified of the news (quoted with permission):

    Imao you don’t own your own hacks

    But good to know that something that was literally spun up in response to t[yr]annical nonsense from RHDN in its ownership and potential loss is, uh, tyrannical

    The hacks and translations, now believed to be illegally hosted on RHDI, can be seen here.

    These hacks and translations were never submitted to RHDI by yours truly.

    Instead, they were imported from RHDN’s data dump from August 2024, as we previously reported here.

    So, what do you think? What’s worse, the silent ban or the refusal to honor a hack author’s takedown request? Would you want to submit your work to RHDI?

    I got BANNED on TASVideos, AGAIN. This time, maybe permanently.

    I was first banned in 2023 for defending my TAS work. This time, I was banned for making arguments such as, “TAS should use TAS timing, not RTA timing.”

    The abuse of power by certain staff members is sickening. They attack and ban people simply for expressing opinions they don’t like.

    I joined TASVideos in 2007. It’s fair to say that I have contributed a great deal to the community over the past 19 years.

    Under its current terrible management, TASVideos is no longer the place I once loved. If talented TASers are not treated with respect, I would advise others to leave soon.

    If anyone builds a better TAS community-one with more common sense, respect for its contributors, and freedom of expression-please let me know.

    Since they’ve done this, don’t mind me calling them out for the rest of my life unless they unban me and apologize.

  • Blackmoon Prophecy Discord Channel Launched

    Unofficial Venue Following the Official Server’s Deletion

    FFV Central has launched an unofficial Discord channel in support of the Blackmoon Prophecy series by fangame author UPRC. For how to join, click here.

    The channel is launched in response to the sudden removal and ongoing absence of a chat venue for fans of the fangame series on Discord.

    FFV Central already offers player support and modder support for various RPG franchises across different platforms.

    Official Discord Deleted by Author

    As reported on the r/FinalFantasy subreddit here, shortly after the remake released, the Discord server was suddenly shut down, and the website was updated to say the remake cannot be supported at this time.

    A Reddit user in the know posted what appears to be a Discord-DM screenshot (not reproduced here) and summarized it as follows:

    Update: Dev had a m[e]ntal breakdown due to a variety of factors in his personal life and the fan game getting a decent bit of popularity sent him over the edge.

    The fangame author himself later confirmed that there will no longer be any Discord server moving forward here:

    There is no longer a dedicated Discord server.

    We await UPRC’s return to social media and wish him well.
