In the interim though Chillyfeez and I may have encouraged a few others to look into FFIV Hacking so it wasn't without its upside.

Oh how right you are. Until this site went down and some of you guys started vacationing at the romhacking.net forums I had no idea of the magnitude of what this place contained. I can't tell you how many times I was looking for something and someone would say "Well, when the slick forums are up and running again..."

As someone working on their first major hacking project I can't tell you how valuable it is to suddenly have access to such a community and such detailed info on the very game that I intend to butcher *cough* I mean the game I intend to hack (FFIV).  :happy:

Glad to have you here SunGodPortal! Yes, this is the repository of FFIV hacking information on the web, without doubt. I would love to see what the Japanese side of the river has found though, Tomato might be willing to share that with us eventually.

If archive has all the images, yes, they can come back. I thought they were gone forever. :(

While I'm fairly sure I have a backup of those, I wouldn't begin to know where to look for it :bah: :lame:

Honestly though, most of them were just grabbed from the web. It shouldn't be too hard to get those again. It looks like everything is still in place for them, including names and post counts, the sprites just need to be added to each theme's directory. (I seem to remember I had an extension installed that would read them all from one place rather than duplicating them, hence that ranks directory.)

Looks like archive.org is missing 777.gif, pretty sure that's the only custom one that's gone.

Thanks for restoring the restoring the rank sprites! Adds a very nice touch. :)
I update my graphics thread on almost a daily basis, so keep an eye out for new stuff!

I noticed the user statistic page text is messed up in some places. Not a top priority, maybe it has to do with my theme too. It's like that on my laptop and desktop PC.

I myself have a lot of these small UI tweaks to do on ff6hacking.com. There is so much one person with a job and personal projects can do though...
