I could be leaving soon... Please read! (Update: False Alarm)

Update: I just conversed with shaunj66, who as you all know is one of the managers of this site. He told me that GBAtemp is not going away anytime soon. Therefore, I am embarrassed to say that I fell for it hook, line and sinker. From now on, I won't believe anything from the Edge of the Forum unless the admins say it's true OUTSIDE of the EoF. I apologize for making some think that I could be leaving, and for newcomers that GBAtemp was going.

Still, if GBAtemp
had to close for some reason, this is what I would've said anyway, so read for your enjoyment. I don't care if you make fun of me, even. :P

Word is going around GBAtemp that GBAtemp will be gone in October, with rumors that it may possibly be replaced by 3DStemp. While it started as a rumor, the admins have confirmed that this is true, and until an official announcement is made, I'll be staying on. However, new posts will be even more limited.

What does this mean? Will work on Rock Band Customs cease?

Good grief, no! I will still keep my repo up on GitLab, and I'm already thinking of moving some work over to Rock Band ScoreHero. However, I will still not be on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc., so if you need to contact me, that's not where you'll find me.

Where can I reach you?

In order for you to find me easily, I will keep the name HarvHouHacker and continue to use the unofficial LineageOS April Fool's mascot as my avatar. On non-gaming sites, however, I go by CyanogenLover with a modified version of the CyanogenMod logo, but it's still me.

I'll have an account on ScoreHero where Koetsu (now StackOverflow0x) has his old guide; hopefully that site won't be going anywhere, as long as Harmonix continues to make Rock Band titles. I made a mistake though - I registered with an invalid email! Once I can get that resolved, I'll repost some of the things from here on there, if they'll let me.

I'm also on Customs Creators, but not to offer help, since StackO already does so much work there, and I don't want to conflict with what good he's doing there. I'm also not allowed to talk about what's on Wii discs or using the files from such (unlike here, God bless GBAtemp), so my questions will be about customs.

If GBAtemp moves their stuff over to 3DStemp or something similar, with the same kind of rules that are allowed here, I may reopen this kind of discussion in a new thread there. That way, it will be easier for everyone to reach me.

I am on Discord; I'm thinking on starting a Discord server dedicated to Rock Band Customs. More details on that later.

When are you leaving?

After the official announcement is made, no more posts on Rock Band will be made here. More details of where you can find my work on Rock Band Customs will be made available in another blog post, so tell all your Rock Band savvy friends to follow me! Even if you're mainly a Guitar Hero player, you can follow me too, because there might be something for GH customs later on. Although I don't play Guitar Hero, I know of some sources which may help.

Goodbye, GBAtemp

It's been nice coming here; I hope a lot of the stuff is already archived on the Wayback Machine. If there's a thread or some other GBAtemp page you want to save that might not already be saved:
  1. Go to the Wayback Machine. Put in the URL you want to save.
  2. If it's never been saved, it should ask you to save the URL. Click the link to do so. If it has been saved, you may want to save a more recent version.
Then you can visit it anytime you like. If the stuff gets moved, it won't matter as much, but even so, you're saving a piece of homebrew history!

Thank you to all followers! Thanks to @the_randomizer for being such a good pen pal. Thank you @alexander1970 and @NoNAND for so many likes. Thanks to @Chary for the really interesting news articles. Thanks to everyone for their help on Rock Band customs! God bless you all!

That post being in the EoF pretty much removed all credibility it had, which wasn't much to begin with.
