How will the merge affect things?

[shy summit]

Will everything be put into one big patcher or will I need to make it so I only get some things from one patcher and some from another?

Also what do I do about Wii Mail? The EVC, News and Forecast? I already have WiiLink24

[amber salmon]

Everything will be transferred over to the Riiconnect24 services.

[delicate crescent]

no that is incorrect

Wii Mail you will have to repatch with RiiConnect24. Send me your Wii Number then you can run the RiiConnect24 patcher

EVC, News and Forecast will remain the same as RC24 for now

As in EVC will run RiiConnect24 polls and News will still be RiiConnect24

[steel plinth]

i thought forecast channel was gonna be wiilink's?

[delicate crescent]

current rc24 users have to get the wiilink patch for that

We can’t just switch because there are too many cities

it would break thousands of consoles

well break their forecast

[pulsar violet]

does forecast channel url swapper work tho

[willow lagoon]

That's why when i send mails through riiconnect24 is slow

I'll repatch

[willow lagoon]

Nvm it doesn't works

Its already registered

I know i can patch using wiilink then riiconnect24

Nvm

[brave grail]

Wait so do we have to install the WiiLink Forecast Channel or not?

[quasi gale]

What do I have to do with my setup I only have riiconnect 24 I don't have Wii Link

I only have the riiconnect 24 channels will the patcher be updated or something

[quasi gale]

Hello?

[nocturne mantle]

People who’ve already connected to RC24 don’t have to do anything

It’s just WiiLink users who have to change stuff

for the message board at least

[raw edge]

How are you, I am under the water, please help me blpblbpbpblbobp

(sorry)

[quasi gale]

U made my night lol

@raw edge

[shell robin]

I'm assuming that Riiconnect and WiiLink services are going to be merged
will it still be using the Riiconnect24 branding and will i need to repatch channels for it to operate properly (i was using RC24 prior to the merger of development)

[amber salmon]

You don't need to do anything.

[steel plinth]

will riiconnect forecast channel be discontinued or will it still be up for use

[amber salmon]

"You do not need to modify your setup". That's what it says.

[shell robin]

Thank you
I apologize for the inconvenience, I saw it after I posted this

[steel plinth]

Oh ok

[edgy needle]

Question- what is the brand of this development project after the merger, is everything going to be called wiilink or riiconnect24?

[edgy needle]

What if it was called RiiLink24?

[edgy needle]

Rii and 24 from RiiConnect24, and Link from WiiLink

A piece of both

[steel plinth]

nah

wiiconnect24

[amber salmon]

Already taken by Nintendo

[pulsar violet]

it was sarcasm bro 😭

[edgy needle]

Do you guys think RiiLink24 is a good merged name of both brands?

[steel plinth]

just keep it riiconnect24

[pulsar violet]

[stark gale]

no

[worldly shale]

What Abt new users

[brittle oyster]

[amber salmon]

It's already taken by Nintendo

May I suggest Revolution Live 24?

[pulsar violet]

nuh uh

wiiconnect24

🐒

[stark gale]

no

😭

it (kind of) makes sense but

eh

[stark gale]

best name ever

[amber salmon]

Wiiconnect24 is already taken by Nintendo, we can't use it.

[edgy needle]

I think thats the joke XD

[amber salmon]

Well I don't get it.

I still think we should call it Revolution Live 24 if we were to rebrand.

[brittle oyster]

nah

it should be called wiiconnect24

[amber salmon]

I've said it multiple times I don't get the joke already.

And I'll say this again
NINTENDO
ALREADY
OWNS
THAT
NAME

[brittle oyster]

Get it then

[amber salmon]

Well, I'm sure you've got the whole squad laughing...

[stark gale]

thats the joke, Nintendo owns the name

its not that funny but still

[brittle oyster]

Yeah I know it's not funny anymore but still

[edgy needle]

All in favor of the RiiLink24 name?

[carmine forge]

Honestly, RiiConnect24 isn't the best name since it doesn't sound any different from WiiConnect24.

RiiLink24 isn't any different, but I'd rather have it sound like WiiLink24

[pulsar violet]

yes 💰

[pine brook]

I currently use the RC24 patched forecast channel. So should I use this patcher to get more cities?

[amber salmon]

No need, should've already applied. Mine showed NK's status.

[brave grail]

Pyongyang was in RiiConnect24 version too. I saw that there are more cities, but I don't know if they are all of them

[mortal stirrup]

would there be any harm in running that anyway?

[amber salmon]

It's really just unnecessary to do it.

[pulsar violet]

no

[edgy needle]

@delicate crescent sorry for ping. What do you think?

[pulsar violet]

whar

[past saffron]

We won't be using a combination of both service's names

[mortal stirrup]

yeah tbh i like both names of the services

[indigo blaze]

Question if somebody is using the new patcher for reconnect 24 will they need a discord account to link their Wii

[mortal stirrup]

no

[pulsar violet]

How will the merge affect things?

[delicate crescent]

you can stay but you get greatly reduced cities

[limpid depot]

ok thx

[hoary harbor]

That thing from the forecast channel Is wrong. You are using riiconnect24 version if you had it before, and it will not change for you automatically. You have to patch wiilink's one manually of u want it. Riiconnect24 cannot change it because it will brick many wiis if they do that kind of update.

[brave grail]

How can the Forecast Channel brick a Wii? (Besides a banner brick, obviously)

[hoary harbor]

No i mean that if they update it that way, it will brick many wiis

I don't really know, i'm not really smart.

But i still have the riiconnect24 version

[amber salmon]

Well I have the Riiconnect24 edition, and I'm able to look at NK's weather, so clearly it must have changed

[brave grail]

Pyongyang was there even in the RiiConnect24 version. Idk why people think it was only on WiiLink's version

[amber salmon]

Huh.

Still, I don't plan on repatching

[delicate crescent]

what????

we can't brick your wii

[past saffron]

Yeah the WiiLink Wii Bricker 3000 isn't out yet

[carmine forge]

it is really hard to brick a Wii...

[hoary harbor]

@delicate crescent yeah i know i'm dumb and i misunderstood like always

[brittle oyster]

How the fuck would a wii brick because of that

At worst case the forecast channel would just spit an error if something is not right

[hoary harbor]

I misunderstood okay?

I already told you that I know that i'm dumb and i misunderstood

@brittle oyster i thought that I readed about it somewhere but once again, i was wrong.

[brittle oyster]

ah ok

no i don't like it

So,in the end of the merging will we need to repatch some channels?

[carmine forge]

Well, we didn't think that the RiiConnect24 name was going in the first place to be changed due to grunt not indicating that.

Just to think that I was going to buy RiiConnect24 merch.

from the redbubble

If the name change happened after/if I bought it, I would've asked for a refund. The only reason I didn't was because I had trouble figuring out how I could get a pop socket on with the case. I encourage everyone who bought RiiConnect24 merch to ask for a refund.

[past saffron]

Why would you buy merch from RC24 😭

Also the money made from it is not in our possession afaik

That was a Larsen thing

We cannot process refunds bro

The name was held up for vote in the dev server with a majority on WiiLink

With the hopes of unifying all the services (WiiConnect24, region exclusives and WFC)

[carmine forge]

Sounds pretty bias coming from a WiiLink developer.

[past saffron]

Why the fuck would you buy WiiLink merch

I mean I could design it, but that wouldn't mean I'd go out wearing it 😭

[carmine forge]

Were RC24 devs involved in this too?

[past saffron]

RC24 devs are Larsen and KCR

Larsen is not a part of the project anymore and KCR was notified

Beforehand

[carmine forge]

Was KCRPL in the vote

[past saffron]

Overwhelming majority vote

[carmine forge]

Mhm

Alright, well, maybe that vote should've been earlier and decided which Discord server stayed.

You're changing the name of a Discord server to your old one then having all your members going there.

[past saffron]

Why should we use the old one?

It has less members

We gave everyone ample room to switch to this one so it's easier to manage

[past saffron]

Yeah

[unkempt scroll]

Why was the name change done as a hierarchy?

That's obv gunna annoy people, especially since rc24 been around far longer and is more well known than wiilink (no offence intended)

Also most of the work was and still is hosted/made/maintained by rc24 (giving credit to wiilink making the japenese channels and improvements to the nintendo and news chamnels), but credit is given exclusively to wiilink.. it's kinda a slap in the face to rc24 (again no offence intended)

Obviously I am slightly biased being here from early rc24 days however I still feel like it's been an injustice how it's gone down, in past major things like this have generally gone to a public vote and been on a majority rules basis which also has it's problems don't get me wrong.

[past saffron]

But ever since december WiiLink has been running everything, it's not like they're separate things

[unkempt scroll]

There's still quite a few things run by I can't say name or message blocked

[past saffron]

What is that?

[unkempt scroll]

Which I'm not complaining about just kinda weird

[past saffron]

To my knowledge all RiiConnect24 services are now run by us, including the development, hosting and maintenance

Personally I would've kept both names, but it wasn't up to me

[unkempt scroll]

Yea it's just my opinion on it, some will agree some won't

[past saffron]

Yeah absolutely

[mortal stirrup]

(i would buy wiilink merch like uh stickers or something)

[brittle oyster]

wiilink dlc

[opaque magnet]

Hi! So, as of when this merger happened I think, My disc light, where it would flash blue when I got something in the mail, doesn't do that anymore. The light isn't dead, because it lights up with everything else, aka inserting a disc, being on usbloader, etc
and the setting is on in the wii settings
but it stopped working after the merger

[worldly shale]

Give us the john Wiilink24 cookies

[nova nova]

you might have forgotten to run the rc24 mail patcher if you were previously on wiilink mail

[opaque magnet]

I wasn't previously on wii link mail though, it was through the old riiconnect24 patcher

Kinda figured out that the issue is wii mail isn't receiving rn

[storm parcel]

you are only contributing

[brittle oyster]

but how will the merge affect things

[carmine forge]

riiconnect24 is not part of the family, it just is thrown out altogether

It was better when they had RiiConnect24 as a WiiLink service

[past saffron]

I mean it changes nothing really

[carmine forge]

I mean, I can't get the original Nintendo Channel. It was changed without my permisson.

[past saffron]

What

[carmine forge]

I do not want a WiiLink24 banner

[past saffron]

It is our server

There's no way to change that

[carmine forge]

There wasn't a RiiConnect24 banner

[past saffron]

I have new banners designed

But they haven't been implemented

Because changing banners is a drag

[carmine forge]

Is there a setting I can change to remove the WiiLink banner?

[past saffron]

I don't recall there being one no

[carmine forge]

but I feel like that's a contradiction to a proposed design of "party like it's 2006"

I also didn't agree to this TOS when I downloaded the Nintendo Channel off the patcher.

[brittle oyster]

don't use it then

[vocal sparrow]

If you really don't like the current Nintendo Channel thumbnail you uninstall it so it isn't there

[brittle oyster]

yeah

[carmine forge]

Why wouldn't you have RiiConnect24 users re-patch their Wiis so they would be forced to agree to the WiiLink TOS?

@brittle oyster

Like what's the point of acting like a company if you're gonna make some people agree to the TOS but not others and enforce it on everyone?

[unkempt scroll]

It's essentially by using the service you agree, idk why it's worded weirdly

[vocal sparrow]

*RiiConnect24's Nintendo Channel having a WiiLink logo on the thumbnail
I think it is the way the Wii Channels are set up, they are updated on the server side until they are updated again. (which explains why Deliveroo still shows on there iirc) When the merge happened it switched some channels from RiiConnect24 to WiiLink automatically without notice.

What is the point of the ToS if it is gonna be ignored?
I don't even know, this is a fan service so expect rough transitions

[Don't have a problem with either by the way]

[lucid ginkgo]

other than deleting the nintendo channel save, no

[hoary harbor]

I noticed, that when they made the switch, (i had all riiconnect24 services) , mii contest channel and nintendo channel didn't work anymore properly. Mii contest channel had no contests, and nintendo channel videos weren't working, and just a tiny percent of the videos that was before the switch, was there. I think that those problems haven't been solved at least to this day when i send this message.

[hoary harbor]

That's actually a good question🤔

[vocal sparrow]

I had all RiiConnect24 channels and they all worked before and after they merged

Or well takeover XD

[hoary harbor]

No, nintendo channel videos do not work nowadays

And the staff knows it

Same with cmoc not having contests

[vocal sparrow]

I mean they functioned at the time, the videos on both were buffering every 5 seconds and CMOC had a few contests after the merge iirc

[hoary harbor]

Yeah..

But i just want them to work..

[vocal sparrow]

So true XD just make the channels work

[brittle oyster]

I guess it's cool and all, but you aren't seriously going to watch old game trailers in 240p in the nintendo channel

[vocal sparrow]

Lol it's for the channel's revival XD

[carmine forge]

When you say "switched" are you referring to the RiiConnect24 services using the same server as WiiLink just so you're not paying for two hosting services? I also feel like how a TOS normally works is that there's a pop up that does not allow you to move past it until you agree to it. I realize that this is far fetched for a revival service, but there are many ways WiiLink can force RiiConnect24 users to agree to their TOS.

[vocal sparrow]

When I said switched I meant the channels switch from the RiiConnect24 server to the WiiLink server done by someone. The ToS on Wii cannot be shown again after already agreeing so they can't make a new agreement iirc. They could have however sent a Wii Mail letter notifying the users.

[carmine forge]

Why do you think Instagram limits you from searching freely until you make an account? They want you to agree to their TOS. Why do you think some websites give a cookie disclaimer? Because they're legally required to.

[unkempt scroll]

Potentially in EU, in most places this isn't a legal requirement (laws are outdated)

[vocal sparrow]

WiiLink is a group softmodding a retro console, Meta Platforms is a multi-billion dollar company

[unkempt scroll]

Alot of sites simply state in their TOS that by using the service you agree, and if you don't you will stop using it

[vocal sparrow]

and if you don't you will stop using it
What aloz meant is that they switched his chanels without permissions given by another ToS I think

[unkempt scroll]

I don't even remember rc24s tos but I'm sure it covered this

If it didn't then I guess you're right notice should have been given but realistically not required, though maybe in the EU I'm not 100% on their laws but they are alot more strict on digital spaces

[vocal sparrow]

I don't even know if they had one

[carmine forge]

Yeah I know, the EU is very on the game in terms of what's going on in the tech world. The cookie popup went from something you had to agree to, to something that you had to give users an option to opt opt, to something that you can disable in the click of a button.

[unkempt scroll]

I think I remember it being on the dns which personally I didn't read lol

[carmine forge]

Oh yeah. I forgot RC did have a TOS when you put in the DNS.

I think it really just potentially allows Wii Sports Resort to use CMOC Miis in Table Tennis.

[unkempt scroll]

It used to help connections speed up slightly with wiimfii as well as allow use of the mk channel competition stat's amoung other minor things

Now it's almost entirely redundant

[carmine forge]

But L####n pushed that the DNS allowed RC24 channels in general to have better performance.

[unkempt scroll]

Yea I'm not sure why it's even still up

[carmine forge]

Speed up slightly? Doesn't wiimmfi have to partner with RC24 to help make that happen?

[unkempt scroll]

Idk the details of it but L did say that it made the connection work better somehow iirc

[carmine forge]

He did

[unkempt scroll]

But yea he did work with a lot of people from other projects behind the scenes to make these things work

Drama aside I miss his implementation of improvements

[carmine forge]

I did as well

but I feel like he wanted to take credit for a lot of the stuff he did

[unkempt scroll]

Is wiilink not doing the same

The whole rebrand still bothers me lol cause it went from minimal credits to big a** banners of wiilink everywhere

[vocal sparrow]

The big banners with WiiLink are on it's website only, and on Nintendo Channel because they haven't updated the thumbnail

[carmine forge]

I think different staff members switch between being the spokesperson. In the early stages, grunt was the main person who was making announcements, but now he's staying down.

I was not expecting grunt to actually type in here lol

[unkempt scroll]

Oh you mean in that regard iirc it was mainly L and kc running it prior

[prime rampart]

well at that point I wanted to help coordinate the merge and changes to the community (especially here) because this community is close to me

except now I have much more important shit to deal with in relation to my own life that trumps this community

I've done my job for the most part

[carmine forge]

Yeah, I mean, RC24 did not have that big of a development team. L####n would rather have more attention than have faster development.

I mean, the RC24 channel was just him talking. I enjoyed his content, but there wasn't much diversity among the staff.

[unkempt scroll]

Occasionally kc would post too, but you're right there wasn't much of anyone else

[vocal sparrow]

I wonder what WiiLink will be like after it fully becomes "finished". RiiConnect24 is probably gonna be gone and all RiiConnect24 content is transferred to the WiiLink website and they have their WiiLink WFC ready. Also the channels still in development

[carmine forge]

Also, if RC24 had a TOS, there must be a way that WiiLink easily smushed itself in there. When a big company buys a small company, there’s gotta be a sneaky way that they get the data. I'm not saying that's WiiLink, but I'm just making inferences.

[vocal sparrow]

When a big company buys a small company
Well not really "bought" but given iirc

[unkempt scroll]

Essentially L gave everything to wiilink there's still a few things he runs but for the most part it's them now

[carmine forge]

I don't really think RC24 had plans for anything new after CMOC. It was really just L####n creating drama for 2 years.

[unkempt scroll]

Yes

[unkempt scroll]

I'd have to disagree with that, I think drama found him regardless of if he wanted it or not, people just couldn't leave him alone lol

Still can't imo

[carmine forge]

He's running some things? I wouldn't have thought he would be interested in doing that.

[unkempt scroll]

I spoke to him awhile ago he's still in the scene alas alot less, but he wanted development to continue so he stepped down from rc24

[carmine forge]

Well, I mean, he stole code that allowed the Nintendo Channel to run without any errors at startup. I think WiiLink24 was justified to call him out on that.

[unkempt scroll]

Everyone steals eachothers code in this scene tbh

[vocal sparrow]

XD

[unkempt scroll]

It's really arguable if it was even stolen as well

It's not really different to "stealing" Nintendo's code to recover wc24

Reverse engineering to be more accurate

[vocal sparrow]

I heard someone say that too

I think they are saying that too add on to bad stuff he has done, But I don't know him.

[unkempt scroll]

Honestly i think encouraging mob mentality wasn't the best way to deal with that situation even if it was deleted after the fact

[carmine forge]

I do think you have a good point because someone on RC24 likely would've figured that error eventually.

[unkempt scroll]

Don't get me wrong he's said some dumb stuff but I don't think he deserves to be treated like an outcast and shunned but that's my opinion

[carmine forge]

However, collaboration looks like "hey, how did you fix this" not "I'm gonna figure out how you did this"

[carmine forge]

Is he banned?

[unkempt scroll]

Yes even saying his name gets auto moderated

Technically I don't think we'd even be allowed to have this conversation for "continuing drama" or the like lol

[carmine forge]

Some people were saying that people would never be able to move on if his name was allowed.

Why would L####n be helping out with 1 or 2 behind the scenes things if he's banned?

[unkempt scroll]

Bit of both, intention was to improve the service implementation was not so good

[unkempt scroll]

Idk probably for whatever reason he ran rc24 for

[carmine forge]

Have the staff confirmed that he's banned?

[unkempt scroll]

Yes he's 100% banned

[carmine forge]

Since the merger?

[unkempt scroll]

How long ago was the merger

[carmine forge]

Probally December maybe

[unkempt scroll]

Iirc he was banned before that idk the details

[carmine forge]

Oh really?

#service-announcements message

The merge was December 29th

[carmine forge]

Yeah. I can get he wanted a break. I think the Shop rival service he and his friend made really caused a lot of drama.

He was accused of leaking IPs when L####n denies it so evidence should be provided. I never saw evidence or multiple people (from both RC and WiiLink) saying it's true.

[unkempt scroll]

I'm still yet to see any proof of what he was accused of, what I did see was really far fetched accusing his friend or whatever of buying adult items when he's 14 iirc and it was a cheap $10 Amazon item.. whole thing seemed silly

[carmine forge]

Idk why that would be relevant. L####n is a weird dude

[unkempt scroll]

Only relevant because I asked if there was any proof, and that's what I was provided with 😅

[carmine forge]

Ohh I see. So, his freshman friend buying adult stuff was their proof that IPs were being doxxed?

Dang, what has this community come to.

[unkempt scroll]

That and heresay , Essentially he said she said

Yep I thought the exact same thing, how does this justify the public mass accusations

[carmine forge]

I think this was mostly brought upon by grunt

I have some responses from him that I'll share

I think they're pretty reasonable

here it is

I had a discussion about what his intentions were and he shared them with me. I think he's trying to warn people, but it also kind of makes it look like it's WiiLink bashing, not the individual.

[unkempt scroll]

Yea I don't know, I think it was reasonable to inform people, but provide proof as well

[carmine forge]

I think the intention was to shut it down for piracy reasons

[unkempt scroll]

Or at the least, speak to them first so they can rectify it first then announce hey this happened

[carmine forge]

but that might've been a combination of factors

I think we take what journalists do pergranted. They are required to speak to both sides before sharing the story.

[unkempt scroll]

The announcement imo was very defamatory and accusation heavy

[carmine forge]

I agree

I messaged grunt a lot about recent server changes and he actually started to address them, which I'll give him credit for, but then he stopped responding.

Speaking of which, I need to respond to his message from earlier

[carmine forge]

I completely understand priorities, but is there a staff member that I can redirect my unanswered questions to that was involved in the merger? You just completely ignored me instead of being straightforward if you wanted me to ask someone else which gives WiiLink a bad light in my eyes.

[prime rampart]

probably sketch but you have to understand they're busy too

I mean no disrespect out of any response that I didn't give you but when I say I have a lot on my shoulders right now, I've been struggling

consequentially responding to people hasn't been my top priority depending on the context

[carmine forge]

Wdym depending on context? ofc you're gonna respond to your irl friends, but do you only respond to some stuff regarding WiiLink?

[carmine forge]

I think also, there's a website recreation of the Wii Shop channel. I remember knowing it existed and looking up a certain WiiWare game on there to see if it allowed use of a Wiimote. I was surprised that it actually let me download stuff from there.

I was laughing and shocked

Like why hasn't that been called out?

[unkempt scroll]

Yea I found that too, it's quite cool but a matter of time before it gets a cease and desist

[carmine forge]

Like this website is blatantly on the top results of Google

it's so strange

[carmine forge]

yeah, just whenever Nintendo gets around to it

[unkempt scroll]

I think because they're not making a profit from it, it's low priority but nintendo are notorious for taking these things down

[unkempt scroll]

We both know the answer to this 😅

[carmine forge]

L####n isn't the owner?

At the same time L####n's main service that he's known for isn't down.

but I think that's cause it's been up for awhile

hard for Nintendo to find

back when I was first using it, I had to look up a certain tweet to remember what it was

[unkempt scroll]

Yea I find that surprising there's literally everything on there

Though I do know as long as you're not making money from it they're not nearly as harsh and quick to respond

[carmine forge]

Same. I mean, it's painful to search stuff up. I think it's easier to use the Wii Shop remake.

[unkempt scroll]

There's still a few different projects of that, if they ever come to fruition is another story

[carmine forge]

As long as it stays low, Nintendo's not going for it anytime soon

[unkempt scroll]

Pretty sure the code for r shop is still out there too so someone may continue it

[carmine forge]

lol

Back when Palworld was released, a bunch of people messaged Nintendo and they were forced to respond.

so Nintendo does listen

[unkempt scroll]

I don't think they have grounds to stand on with palworld

There's not enough similarities

[carmine forge]

Agree

[hoary harbor]

Nintendo week

[brittle oyster]

There are reuploads of that on youtube

[hoary harbor]

But when watching them from nintendo channel, it brings back memories

[vocal sparrow]

the whole point of the project is so it can revive channels

[brittle oyster]

yeah I get it

what i'm saying is that there are other ways to watch what there is on the nintendo channel

[vocal sparrow]

Same for weather, news, and votes XD

[carmine forge]

@unkempt scroll Do you think that grunt was a bit manipulative in order to get Dark to shut the project down? Money was made so idk. Maybe he actually would've been in "legal hot water" but if he wasn't making any money, he would've gotten a cease and desist order at the most.

[queen pewter]

honestly i think that way too.

[carmine forge]

Yeah. Nathan Boehm isn't blocked but L####n is. Wilder and I were just talking about the favoritism in terms of who they chose to go after.

[queen pewter]

i read the chat for a bit and i also think that they just went after them, honestly i don't think any "major leak" happened in "the shop", i was there in the chat and nothing seemed abnormal

[carmine forge]

Yeah, L####n freaked out trying to say what was said was false and I think Dark didn't know what to do and went to the nearest person who could help him.

Grunt said to me that he was trying to be informative, but he could've chosen to not say the name. I'm sure there was a way of warning people without giving any identifiable information. He's also saying it on behalf of the RiiConnect24 server which doesn't look good for the Wii Online Revival Community.

[queen pewter]

Exactly, also the atmosphere isn't the same anymore after the merge

[carmine forge]

Yeah. I preferred WiiLink and RiiConnect24 to be in their own separate worlds.

but it seems like L####n was cool with the merge so it seems like it did end up happening

[queen pewter]

same, there probably was something shady going on behind the scene, and there are even some things i can tell you privately about it

[carmine forge]

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that didn't see any evidence put forth in terms of the allegations that L####n was leaking console information.

[carmine forge]

Really? It's sad that there's all this drama just for a rivial service.

[vocal sparrow]

For real

Just make the channels work

[carmine forge]

I feel like they have way too many staff members on

Like 20 at least

[queen pewter]

Yes indeed, but the way some people act to be the of the good side, when they aren't makes me a bit upset yk what i mean

[prime rampart]

because the guy on the latter has done significantly more damage to the overall functioning and goodwill of this community

over a far longer course than the former

everything that has been done has been with the explicit intent of trying to minimize this childish fucking "drama" that has been going on for years within this place, I would know for how long I've been here, and sometimes we need to pick and choose these things out of principle
one fuckup isn't that big of a strike against my interpretation of someone really

[past saffron]

Honestly we should remove the word ban

The potential for drama is not as high as it was before

[prime rampart]

well it wasn't banned

[past saffron]

It's more annoying than anything

[prime rampart]

until a bunch of jackasses decided to embark on a campaign to spend their every waking moment talking about the mf

much less the people who were attempting to doxx him

[past saffron]

Also who the fuck is Nathan Boehm

[prime rampart]

yeah I have no idea

I'm thinking something to do with riishop from the context

[past saffron]

Yes but that was long ago

[prime rampart]

I don't have a problem with removing the word ban but if the talk about them gets excessive or we start seeing sus shit done again
then we probably need to put it back

[past saffron]

Sounds good

[prime rampart]

@daring anvil idfk if this is true and I made you do anything

this is a very confusing statement

[daring anvil]

I have no clue what they're on about

[prime rampart]

anyway you can say larsen again

don't abuse it

[vocal sparrow]

[carmine forge]

Right idea but it’s a more blatant

[carmine forge]

^

[carmine forge]

I was talking about Dakotath, not @daring anvil . Although it’s understandable because I thought the name started with Dark

[carmine forge]

So idk how many details I can say. I will delete if you want me to, but basically if you use the right search terms, there will be a site on the top of Google that looks like the regular Wii Shop Channel before it was discontinued. Except, it’s more than that.

[carmine forge]

It would make sense to say that compared to the new person I introduced. Larsen is older than Nathan (I think). Larsen is more well known than Nathan. Your term of “damaged” seems a bit vague, but I found some YouTuber group talking about it. https://youtu.be/_Z828KKKVr0?si=7kuMVNy4Om4iiAwr It is very hard to find the document shown in the video and I had to scroll along to find all the bullet points. According to that video, WiiLink has stated that Larsen has had an obsession in them. Does his history condone following him where he goes in the Wii community, or even outside of that? When I was talking about the shop revival by Larsen earlier and you look in the previous messages, I felt like no evidence was put forth in his alleged doxxing of console information. I was not the only one that felt like no evidence was put forth in this regard. In regards to the Nintendo Channel, @wilder94 had said earlier that reverse engineering had gone on earlier which is exactly what RiiConnect24 and WiiLink24 do on channels that they focus development on. How do you differentiate the term between what RiiConnect24 did to WiiConnect24 channels and what Larsen did to you? It is a bit of an entitlement to say something like “oh, you figured this out? Can I have it? If we can’t agree quick enough I’ll try to figure it out”, but wouldn’t it have been done eventually anyways? I also saw the Wii.guide mentioned which it is fucked up that Larsen was trying to insert the wrong discord server on purpose. I don’t think that should be done, but was the guide put on the WiiLink site instead? It also is ironic to mention that I had preferred using wii.guide to Wii.hacks.guide. I didn’t really like wii.hacks.guide because it was operated by the Nintendo HomeBrew people. I was willing to use wiiu.hacks.guide because there was no better guide. Isn’t redirecting users from Wii.guide to wiiu.hacks.guide hypocrisy in the notion of a monopoly existing?

Oml that was longer than I was expecting it to be

It is also worth mentioning that this discussion isn’t just about me, but it’s also other users that have made comments like @unkempt scroll and @queen pewter

[vocal sparrow]

holy shit i am not reading this /s

[carmine forge]

Thanks for doing this. The other staff members were less willing to look at it again. I can commit to using it in appropriate circumstances but I cannot speak for others.

[unkempt scroll]

Honestly I think it was blown way out of proportion, I don't really blame anyone as it was a joint effort from everyone involved but I do think it's unfair how it went down and how it's continued to be dealt with

[carmine forge]

Well, regardless of opinions regarding the length, grunt was talking about Larsen history so I felt like I had to dive deep into other controversies.

[unkempt scroll]

Also agree strongly with this

[carmine forge]

I’m surprised about your join date btw. How did you find this server?

@unkempt scroll

[prime rampart]

idfk who nathan is, nathan has never even interacted in this community as far as I can tell, they're running a website that quite frankly I couldn't care less about

[unkempt scroll]

I join and rejoin regularly

[prime rampart]

their name has never been said in the server prior to this thread

so I have zero concern with them

[unkempt scroll]

Mostly because I want Updates but I don't like the annoying announcements of stuff like the r shop one

(The way it was worded specifically not so much the warning itself)

[prime rampart]

I remember this channel and these videos, they're laughable
it would be a disservice to take them as anything more than people commentating over things that they don't quite have knowledge of

none of these people have seen internal operations afaik

I won't fault them though I used to dig deep into drama around this community when I was younger loooool

[unkempt scroll]

I haven't quite read/watched whatever he's sent yet, but what does internal operations have to do with any of the drama

[prime rampart]

when I say internal operations I mean knowing what is actually going on behind the scenes, having access to staff chats

[unkempt scroll]

I'm still confused on what that has to do with the topic, though I probably should read/ watch that first i guess

[prime rampart]

what he sent afaik doesn't have to do with anything besides a shitshow that happened almost a year ago when Larsen decided to fork WiiLink's code and use it in the RC24 Nintendo Channel application

and as for that, what I'm trying to say is that the authors of that video are unreliable narrators

it's nothing against them as people I'm just saying that you should take it for a grain of salt

[unkempt scroll]

Though you gotta admit the giant announcement wii link made about that was a major cause of drama

[prime rampart]

well yes because we felt highly motivated to speak out against it because of the nature of the situation

[unkempt scroll]

Also read very much like a we hate L so you should too

There's better ways of going about that though

[prime rampart]

quick question how long have you been around here

[unkempt scroll]

Uh

At a guess 2018/19

In and out though

[prime rampart]

as for any hate larsen has gotten and will continue to get in the future let me put things to rest by saying this

if you've had to deal with his shit as long as people like I have, you would feel motivated to spread the word whenever he comes back in and creates more and more problems for people
he is universally hated by community heads within the Nintendo sphere as far as I know going beyond this place, and by the time that announcement was made that you're referring to, there was no negotiating with a person that had already shown tenfold that he wants things to go his way and his way only

that can be demonstrated by his behavior within the community and outside

treated this place like his own personal server where he could do whatever the hell he wanted

[prime rampart]

but let me address this
while reusing open source code is not in its nature illegal, you have to put something into perspective
someone may want to correct me on this if I'm wrong because its been a while and I tend to discard this shit out of my mind after a while because I have better things to worry about
but larsen reused a significant amount of code and fixes within our version of the channel at the time to the point where there was literal leftover WiiLink branding within the channel when he deployed the update
the etiquette and behavior in doing this without much concrete attribution for a significant copy of our code was very bad especially considering that RC24's versions of the channel were magnitudes more popular than ours

it was predatory behavior

of course these problems are gone now that larsen is out of the picture, everything is merged, everything is operated by us

[prime rampart]

I also saw the Wii.guide mentioned which it is fucked up that Larsen was trying to insert the wrong discord server on purpose. I don’t think that should be done, but was the guide put on the WiiLink site instead? It also is ironic to mention that I had preferred using wii.guide to Wii.hacks.guide. I didn’t really like wii.hacks.guide because it was operated by the Nintendo HomeBrew people. I was willing to use wiiu.hacks.guide because there was no better guide. Isn’t redirecting users from Wii.guide to wiiu.hacks.guide hypocrisy in the notion of a monopoly existing?

wii.hacks.guide is operated by Nintendo Homebrew, but it is written by the exact same people that originally maintained wii.guide so I'm not sure where you're finding the differentiation at
obviously the domain is different but that's all

why is wii.guide just a redirect to wii.hacks.guide, because there is absolutely ZERO reason to keep directing people to an outdated source of information (that original guide that iirc you can still access on GitHub has not been updated in several upon several months because all of the maintainers are working on, yes, wii.hacks.guide now)

we are all confident in the changes that we made to the guide, and the entire migration was out of reasoning of larsen being a control freak (as always)

[unkempt scroll]

What problems did he create? From my perspective yes he did say some dumb crap and annoy people, but did a ton of good things for the community and ran/ maintained (to my understanding quite well) the rc24 servers etc I haven't heard of/seen the negativity towards him from other communities though I'm not very active elsewhere so my judgement may be biased

Essentially it was his server prior to the merger I still don't really see the harm (if any) he caused by running it, personal drama aside

[prime rampart]

the bad outweighs the negatives in several ways and you can see that demonstrated from not just me

@daring anvil you mind giving this person a rundown, I think you can do it better justice than me and seem less biased because you moderated this server independently before we took it over

[unkempt scroll]

I do agree the way he did that was not okay, but if you think about it, it was only for the betterment of the services** iirc there had always been hostility between wiilink and larsen despite saying the services were a collaboration, I feel it should have been worked on together rather than as if it was a competition would have worked in everyone's favour much more

[prime rampart]

I'm just gonna say that he got banned from this place while he still ran RC24, from his own community
that should be a good indicator

[unkempt scroll]

Yea I remember seeing him banned but nobody gave me a reason to why he was banned other than being a profanity person or the like

[prime rampart]

wiilink originally came about because of larsen's own stubbornness and mistreatment of the community, also because he refused to work on the japanese channels

wiilink wasn't even the first "competitor" to RC24, that accolade goes to disconnect24

again I don't remember it well but afaik larsen was very hostile towards disconnect24 and pressured them into merging all of their work into RC24, including the signfiicant mail server revamps they did

the services were never a collaboration

[unkempt scroll]

The site is not as clean as the old one was and somewhat difficult to navigate in comparison but that's my only complaint on that

[prime rampart]

wiilink was just filling in the gaps until we moved onto the main channels

at that point it became competitive whether or not we said so

[unkempt scroll]

It was for lack of a better word "marketed" as a collaboration for a long time

[prime rampart]

I understand your viewpoint and your desire for things to have turned out differently

but trust me, would have never happened because of larsen and the other attitudes over here as it pertains to development

by the time we took it over larsen was running a one man show and things had completely stagnated

trust me this is the best possible outcome

I'll be awaiting dark's input on larsen's bullshit

I'll go ahead and throw in the obligatory, larsen sent rule34 to dark as a minor without any notice

that's just one of the things he's done but it tends to be the one that gets people going "wtf"

also obviously the harassment and mistreatment he did to this community in his tenure over it, especially to certain individuals

[unkempt scroll]

It's not so much a desire for things to have turned out differently it's moreso a desire for transparency (within reason) as well as less again I don't have a better word but hostility in some of the announcements and such

[unkempt scroll]

What is rule 34

[prime rampart]

porn

[unkempt scroll]

I'm going to take your word on it because I don't want to see any proof of that lol

But in saying that, that's kinda what I mean, he has said and done some dumb stuff though this still seems more personal than anything else

[prime rampart]

at some point it stops being personal and starts being "this guy really isn't suitable to be running this kind of thing" after you've been making the same kinds of mistakes for years on end

showing no signs of progression or maturity even when you're 21

the guy needs to get off the internet, he needs legitimate help

[unkempt scroll]

While I agree that still doesn't justify those comments, do you see what I'm saying

[prime rampart]

what comments

[unkempt scroll]

Like this

[prime rampart]

this isn't even made as a jab to him this is what I have seen first hand

again, wait for dark to give his input on all of this, he'll probably reflect many of my comments

ask any of the other people that have been in this community for as long as I am and they'll most likely do the same

it's unfortunate that a lot of people come in, hear about this guy because he has this mystical fucking aura over the place that won't go away (makes sense because he's been with the service since the start)
but they don't seem to get the full grasp of what he's done

why we've gotten to this point, why he is a pariah now

@fluid lake I know you're not involved in this discussion, but as another longtime community member do you want to give some extra insight as to your experiences with larsen

[unkempt scroll]

I just think things like that continue and even add fuel to the drama surrounding him, I mean alot of the members here are easily influenced kids that will read that and make a larsens immature and a bad person parade especially from a moderator

For what it's worth and I may be wrong here I never seen Larson publicly make comments like that here about others

I don't get the full grasp either, but I am essentially an outsider looking in, I see he's done bad things and such and it's fair to condone that but I think it's a little unfair to do this A behind his back and B with personal grievances held

[prime rampart]

afaik there hasn't been any "drama" surrounding larsen for a while now

unless he's gone and done something else fucking stupid outside the community I have no idea

[fluid lake]

aw damn i have to read at midnight 😭

[unkempt scroll]

He still gets absolutely blasted from "leaking ips" which I haven't actually seen any evidence of

[prime rampart]

in an official capacity we haven't even mentioned larsen since riishop

[carmine forge]

at least in terms of the shop

[unkempt scroll]

Which while isn't in here directly it's still a direct result of this server

[fluid lake]

eh he was just kinda weird to me but in similar ways to other people

never privately, always in #general calling me his raccoon or doing weird homer searches or the like

[prime rampart]

if you're gonna pin anyone then don't pin the server, pin me because I drafted the announcement, I went into the server and did my own research overnight, after that place utterly fucking imploded

[fluid lake]

as far as the word ban i don't really care either way cause i've never really had to mention his name recently, and if i do anyone i'm talking to already knows who big L is

[unkempt scroll]

I'm not one to place blame on people especially for something like that, it was your announcement yes but alot of people from this server have fuelled that fire and absolutely s*** on him

[prime rampart]

word isn't even banned anymore

[fluid lake]

larsen

oh mb lol

[unkempt scroll]

So it's really a collective not one person

[prime rampart]

I am not responsible for the actions of other people nor is the server, and that's generally how things go

and I'll further elaborate even

if someone does decide to go on a campaign against someone else, that may be bannable

depends on the context

[unkempt scroll]

Which is why I'm not blaming you

Or pinning

[prime rampart]

but there is just no way that we can force people to stop going after this guy

he's already made plenty of enemies before we made that announcement

[unkempt scroll]

At this point no but it can be lessened in future

[daring anvil]

huh

[prime rampart]

check the messages above if you want context

[daring anvil]

are they asking about larsen?

[prime rampart]

What problems did [larsen] create? From my perspective yes he did say some dumb crap and annoy people, but did a ton of good things for the community and ran/ maintained (to my understanding quite well) the rc24 servers etc I haven't heard of/seen the negativity towards him from other communities though I'm not very active elsewhere so my judgement may be biased

[daring anvil]

he was actively holding back the service

[unkempt scroll]

It's more a discussion about the changes the stuff surrounding larsen, how things are said etcetc

[daring anvil]

like he wasn't improving anything because he was too busy worrying about what wiilink was doing

and actively burning bridges with literally everyone in the extended wii community

which reflected on the server as a whole

his stupidity was making everyone else look bad by association

[prime rampart]

as far as the discord server, this place was not maintained well and wasn't changed for really years, there was a lot of stagnation

[daring anvil]

he also refused to change at all

[prime rampart]

obviously after the merge we came in and gave the server a massive overhaul

[daring anvil]

yeah he just wouldn't hear anyone out

a majority of the changes are things we spent years requesting for

[unkempt scroll]

Like what?

[daring anvil]

like stricter shitposting rules

just more people to help maintain the server

cleaning all the cluttered channels

perms we never had as moderators

because all the admins had retired at that point

[fluid lake]

it's still kinda cluttered but it's actually useful clutter

[daring anvil]

also we finally got to undo all the petty bans from larsen

[fluid lake]

idk how rc24 used to run with like barely 4 or 5 mods

[daring anvil]

it was really only like 3

me snare and scooty

[prime rampart]

yeah it was a lot less than we anticipated wrong context

[daring anvil]

kcrpl was too busy to do much at the time

[prime rampart]

@delicate crescent obligatory @ we still need to fix the ban appeal form

[fluid lake]

yike

i feel bad for you guys

[daring anvil]

on top of that we had irl obligations

plus come september/october my depression peaked

I don't recall doing that much for the server around then

[unkempt scroll]

Is there a log of ban reasons or something?

[fluid lake]

there is with vortex

[daring anvil]

yes

a majority of bans by larsen are people that upset him

[prime rampart]

oh there's not much to hide with these I'll honestly fetch you some of the stupider ban reasons

I gotta see if I can find some

[unkempt scroll]

I don't need to see them was just asking if there was

[daring anvil]

I gurantee if you search up larsen or his id in the logs you will find some relatively quickly

like search up toxic

[unkempt scroll]

I miss scooty not active much at all any more 😦

[prime rampart]

@daring anvil lmfao

[daring anvil]

classic

[prime rampart]

oh this is a set

you know it's good when your ban reason is "being an idiot" and zero elaboration

[fluid lake]

damn i should have been banned like 3 years ago for that

[daring anvil]

remember when he kicked nick several times for accidentally pinging him on irc

[prime rampart]

ahahahahahaha

[carmine forge]

I assume the document is something that WiiLink24 has actually sent out? If so, I was mainly using the video to look at the document. I couldn't find it outside of the video.

[carmine forge]

Isn't that fighting fire with fire? I assume when you talk about problems you're referring to the shop. There were allegations made with no evidence presented to me or others. I may have missed you answer Wilder's question, but I don't believe I've seen an answer to this yet.

[unkempt scroll]

Yea this was a public announcement type post that has since been deleted, there was also a variation on their twitter/X account

Edit no it hasn't been deleted from twitter/x:

WiiLink 🌈 (@WiiLink24) on X

Twitter · Jan 8, 2023, 10:41 PM

Also highlighting the "we are a collaboration"

[unkempt scroll]

I don't think it was but I gave up when screens of random bans were posted felt like nothing I said was actually understood

[carmine forge]

He should've given credit, but I think in general, it gives a better experience to the user. I don't think Larsen was intrested in making any better changes, but I think he was keen on keeping up with the Wii community. I can see what you're saying though. A lot of small changes does add up. However, when I thought of WiiLink24 2 years ago, I thought of additional cities in forecast channel and Japanese channels. I think WiiLink stood out just as equally as RiiConnect24. I do apricate the WiiLink team + Strimn's work, and I look forward to watching some Kirby episodes soon :)

[carmine forge]

this is different than the document in the video I provided

[unkempt scroll]

They were separate from eachother I believe that document was sent in discord

[carmine forge]

That is good to know. Sounds silly to say but I guess my main issue was the contribtitors of wiiu.guide.hacks giving a lot of piracy warnings which I found was unnecessary. However, this doesn't really seem as bad as I thought since these aren't really as prevalent as I thought.

[carmine forge]

But you're sending it in the announcements...

[carmine forge]

It seemed like he was pretty responsive and mature when I messaged him. I'm not sure if was cause I wasn't a WiiLink staff member. He seemed pretty reasonable in dms. Ofc when I was going deep in something once he asked me to figure it out, but I was understanding about it because I messaged him with the understanding that he gets a lot of DMs from other people. I remember Krcpl used to be responsive to me, but he stopped responding at all. Is this a sign of RiiConnect24/WiiLink's drama?

[prime rampart]

there is no drama

the shop is done with
larsen is done with

we're just focusing for the future at this point

[carmine forge]

Well, I guess the stigma.

I sent messages to Kcrpl in July 2023 and January 2024 and he didn't respond to me. This is what I'm referring to.

July 2023 was before the shop drama

[charred iris]

I'm sorry, I don't check new DM's

Like

[carmine forge]

I'm just wondering if Kcrpl didn't want to deal with RiiConnect24 during the period of time that the official owner of the server was banned.

[charred iris]

At all

[charred iris]

Well, I'm the owner

[carmine forge]

I completely understand. I'm just wondering if Larsen being banned had to do with your response timing? I don't want to dive into personal issues (stress unrelated to this community, school, etc.) because I don't want to be a nosey person. I was just seeing if the Larsen and WiiLink24 drama impacted you responding.

[charred iris]

No worries

It's not that it stressed me

I'm just less active here these days because I changed my priorities in life

I don't spend as much time on my PC as before

And if I do, I'm probably playing something with my friends

or alone

[carmine forge]

Thank you for that clarification. That makes sense.

[charred iris]

Yeah so no worries

And me not checking DM's

I just stopped really checking them

and I know I should start doing it again

I stopped ever since they added the new tab for DM requests

back in the days it would just show a notification

and I would always answer

now I just don't check the tab

lol

[carmine forge]

I assumed that my new messages were going through since I messaged you previously before the feature was added.

[charred iris]

well then I probably just forgot

or just didn't answer

nothing personal lol

[carmine forge]

That's good to know. It seems like you're still active in other areas of this community but I understand dms not having as much of a priority. I used to mod a lot of Reddit and I would always try to get back to everything but at some point I just gave up and some people are probably not being answered.

[shy summit]

Never expected my message to get like, a thousand replies, and also get pinned

[brittle oyster]

yeah but I still don't know

how will the merge affect things

Is PiiConnect61 merging with 3DSLink49 or what's going on

[carmine forge]

I would have thought it would keep getting pushed up anyways lol

appearently the thread was pinned

I don't remember it being so

[pulsar violet]

3DSConnect69

[gaunt dirge]

https://tenor.com/view/woody-woody-toy-story-sora-kh3-kh-gif-27223516

but hear me out...

piiconnect25

but yeah moving the name to wiilink was the best idea

[brittle oyster]

Honestly

do you know what we could do?

We could bring back the original channels the Wii had when the WiiConnect24 was active

and idk we could call it RiiConnect24 or WiiLink

I think that is a good idea

[gaunt dirge]

guys guys hear me out

you know how wiimfi is closed source?

what if wiilink made their own open source alternative?

wait forget that

you guys know how Nintendo showed off some console called the revolution and never talked about it again?
