    That’s no good. Time to back up some of the resources I might need. Thanks for the heads-up!

    Wayback Machine archive - you’re welcome.

    Well, they aren’t closing the forum until the end of the year, so that’s plenty of time for people to scrape it.

      The issue is making it accessible for people new to it to be able to find.

    First RM2K.net, now this. What a shame. I hope people can manage to preserve stuff. Sadly I’m out of storage atm.

      Just in case you are not aware, there is at least a backup of the files from RM2K net. But sadly lot of metadata and description from the webpage is not preserved: rmn.rmarchiv.de and archive.org/details/rpgmaker-net-game-archive
