a Kuribo64 account is not a bank account, and you are not an admin. there's barely anything they could use to their benefit, so your account isn't enticing.

They could use it for spam.

I'm talking about a singular account specifically. why would they bother trying to hack your account if it's going to be a PITA to crack the password and there's no benefit to hacking this one in particular? they could use ANY account, or heck they could just create a new account and not go through the trouble.

the above assumes that the people who were hacked were only hacked because they had weak passwords. this would mean that for anyone whose password is complex enough to not be cracked with little effort, they do the logical thing: give up

see, that's the issue

we're all different there

I hate when they require special characters

point taken.

I'm pretty sure the most effective component of passwords remains length and unpredictability. a random word with a letter in the middle would be near impossible to guess or easily bruteforce.

weak passwords would then be common strings, such as the "obvious passwords" examples you gave ('123456', ...) or words/names commonly used on the internet (ie celebrity names).

my recommendation would be to add a minimum baseline just for the sake of preventing the use of dumb passwords: 8 characters and one number.


oh yeah by the way, does the board have any defenses against bruteforcing? I imagine stuff like that wouldn't go unnoticed if you have logs for login attempts

Despite the existence of Discord, ROM hacking boards can still survive. Look at SMWC!

but we aren't SMWC. that site is focused on modding SMW, which is massively popular.
other mario games, not so much. SM64DS lives in the shadow of SM64, for which modding has always been more popular as well as easier since it's much better documented.

SM64DS hacking isn't dead; all (or at least most) activity has moved to Discord; it'd be nice if we could get some Discord-onlies to register on the board too. Most new users here also register because they're interested in SM64DS hacking, including our newest user. Whether they post or not is a different thing. Arisotura could make something that sends an automated PM to every newly-registered user, saying hello and inviting them to introduce themselves in the introductions thread.

I never said it was dead; instead I was saying it's not something you can compare to SMW, which is extremely active; enough to keep SMW Central going, despite them having a Discord.

SM64DS, as you said, has migrated completely to Discord. it's active there, but running a board requires more activity, or else interest dies down pretty quick (as evidenced by this board).


Kuribo64, in its current form, is no longer a romhacking forum. it's more of a general chat/hangout place. and objectively speaking, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Indeed, it isn't a bad thing, considering K64's openness is even mentioned on the homepage:
Posted by the homepage
We're a small community centered over ROM hacking, but we also like discussing about whatever.
Probably when someone (not necessarily saying that'll be me) posts a thread about a promising SM64DS hacking project, the popularity of the SM64DS hacking subforums will spike again, but that isn't going on right now. Chances are it will happen again, though. Currently the subforums ain't getting any posts from users other than me. But I know that that might change someday. NSMBHD kinda has the same problem, though general discussion is less popular of a subject there. Still, sometimes, more than one thread pops up in NSMB Hacks in one day. Happened today.

But don't say there isn't any SM64DS hacking discussion going on on here currently: lately, I've been engaged in an active PM conversation with pants64 about that subject.

I only stumbled upon this board very recently. It'd be sad to see a piece of history go like that, but I guess what must be done has to be done eventually.

EDIT 331/3: If Kuribo64 gets revived as a new board, it needs a new name too. I have a genius one. Kuribo is Goomba, right? So we have Goomba. And now its successor. Goomba... Koopa! Nokonoko64! What do you think?

Holding back the urge to shikanoko nokonoko koshitantan rn 😭 jokes aside though, that's a pretty cool name

This thread is, from what I see, old news BTW. The reason Arisotura wanted to archive K64 was because of lots of inactive accounts getting hacked for spamming. A solution to this has been found in the meantime (I hope Arisotura didn't forget to work on the inactive-account-locking feature, though...). Another reason she wanted to archive the board was because of the low activity. Well, activity comes and goes in waves - currently we're in a period of low activity again - but we as K64 users can easily solve that: don't just lurk, post! All users who check this board (about six to nine users a day, usually (not even counting users who don't show up in the online users list)), don't be shy to post in the thread you're reading! (But please do make sure to not post meaningless nonsense. Don't postcount++, OK?)
Seriously, if every user who checks this board at least once a week, posted at least once every day they check the board, the board would be quite active again.

EDIT: W00t, I'm a Cheep-Cheep now!

*looks at sprite*

TF Stapul, that ain't no Cheep-Cheep, Cheep-Cheeps ain't green. That's a Deep-Cheep, ma'am!

When you Google search "Super Mario 64 DS Hacks" this forum is still the first place that pops up, so we still see it as a valuable asset for those of us who are still creating and releasing hacks.

That, Hailbot. This includes me. Guess why all the leet hackers are on Discord and why all the newbies are on this board, helpless because all leet hackers moved to Discord? (pants64 said that he might return soon™, when he's done with his over 9000 projects ;) ) It's also a reason to keep this board alive, but with more activity from leet hackers like you, to help the newbies out, so that the SM64DS hacking scene won't die.
How's Sunshine DS going BTW?

Oh man, I should probably be more active on this board, but I always forget about it, and when I remember about it there's a trillion new posts and I'm too lazy to keep track of all of them :(.

I've created my account some months ago because forums are fun and whatnot, but then I saw this forum wasn't active as it used to do before and that honestly makes me sad, I understand if Arisotura wants to archive the board, but would be really sad if she does :(.

Even when I'm more active on Discord, forums still hold a place in my heart, and forums don't necessarily need to dissapear just because of people being more active on Discord, they both can coexist like NSMBHD and the NSMB Central Server, NSMBHD is kinda like a dead desert at this point, but some people is still active from time to time and we have a channel with a "bot" that basically notifies every time a new post/thread is created, perhaps something similar could be done in the SM64DS Hacking Server, if they want that is.

And as for accounts being compromised, yeah, that seems like a big problem, I can't really comment too much on this topic but I hope y'all find a solution for this, and if you don't and want to archive the board, then that's completely understandable.

Maybe I'll consider making a post in the Misc. ROM Hacking section for my NSMB hack here too, just cba to do it right now :P.

Anyways, time to dissapear from this forum for other three months /j

pants64 had the same idea about the Discord.

Oh and BTW, there is activity on NSMBHD, me PM'ing another user whose hack I'm working on with level design. He's regularly PM'ing me updates about the levels he works on (World 1 isn't finished yet, so according to the board's rules, he's not allowed to post a hack thread yet).
