Can you please put the "NPCs" section before the "Enemies & Bosses" section? Thanks in advance.

Done!

This is a bit nitpicky but

http://www.spriters-resource.com/custom_...pgcustoms/

Shouldn't we call this "Super Mario RPG Customs"? Since these are custom sprites for Super Mario RPG and not Mario RPGs in general? Mainly so that both the actual game sprites and the custom sprites game icons actually show up next to each other when someone performs a search for them.

See when I search for "Mario RPG" they show up no where near each other:

http://www.spriters-resource.com/search/?q=Mario+RPG

I added the "Super" because you're right - it should be there. That said, if you were just searching for the games, this search would have been more efficient and would have also returned them both regardless of the inclusion of "Super" in the title:

Titling the section "Mario RPG Customs" instead of "Super Mario RPG Customs" was largely due to two reasons:

• Since the end goal was to reduce the large amount of sheets in the Mario section, the new section could house every character exclusive to a Mario RPG game (M&L included, though sprites particular to those games were never actually transferred for some reason).
  
• It would appear right beside the original section so it would still be closely associated with the regular Mario customs, making it easier to find when manually browsing.
  

I understand the change as the current section was never fully utilized for what it was set to accomplish. Regardless, I'd like to request the name be reverted to the original. I can then move the rest of the RPG related content over, since that was the intention from the beginning.

That makes sense. You should be able to edit the name so feel free to do so once it's actually being utilized as intended.

Eh. I put the Mario RPG stuff alone to shrink the main Mario series. Same with Paper Mario, Wario, and Yoshi. I left the Super off to keep it close to Mario proper. I'd leave M&L separate until those customs get big enough for their own section.

These pairs of games are the same games, but they're titled differently with different icons across the Spriters and Sounds resource.

Also, I wanted to bring up this game.

The game has the wrong genre; it's an RPG, not a racing game.

And another one: Can you please put the "Background Tilesets" section behind the "Backgrounds" section? Thanks in advance.

The above errors have been fixed!

That's fine. It's your call since splitting things up was your idea to begin with.

So, how long is VGFacts going to be down if there is an estimated time?

It should be back up within the next half hour. I'm in the process of moving the databases across now. Then, I just need to upload the site files, create the entries in the web server, and it should all be good to go.

Since I can't add an icon to a pending game (clicking on it takes me to the sheet uploading form), here's an icon for Hyrule Warriors Legends:

Done! For future reference though, it should be a .gif or .png. If you do that then I can link it straight away, this time I had to download and convert it.

Not sure if it's an error or not, or if it's due to the permissions I have (...am I the only retired staff left? wtf?), but I seemed to notice that I'm able to see on the forums if users have the TSR NSFW filter disabled. I don't like to call out specific people, but only because he's a regular member and thus a good example of what I mean. It shows up under his bio.

(Sorry, buddy - you just have it disabled but I can see it making you a perfect example)


Like...I know that's a thing we can have if we so choose to enable it, but I'm not exactly sure if that's necessarily info that members would want to publicly share, and would rather be hidden....? Or am I just being kind of a prude here? I'm not sure if I or other users are comfortable with broadcasting the idea that we love the pixel tiddy. lol

Nope, definitely an error and not supposed to be visible. It's now fixed so thanks for pointing it out!
