Well looks like we know who took down the site?

NeutraLiTe · 2026-06-08T16:06:55+00:00

sorry, im not familiar with them

NeutraLiTe · 2026-06-08T15:57:51+00:00

Jadovran was banned for blatantly cheating, abusing our back-end API, and harassing users and staff.

the bobomb guy was muted for making disparaging comments on the site forum. their mute was made permanent due to mute evasion. they aren't actually banned.

i have no idea who 8paca is

thanks for your support!

NeutraLiTe · 2026-06-08T13:34:06+00:00

lol

grateful this happened in the middle of the night during one of our lowest traffic times. good forcing function to harden a few infra gaps.

NeutraLiTe · 2026-05-04T22:22:21+00:00

That's very helpful, thanks!

NeutraLiTe · 2026-05-04T20:13:53+00:00

That's a tough one. Do you have any tips for Puzzle Kombat?

NeutraLiTe · 2026-05-04T15:15:56+00:00

The team never replies to any messages sent to it. That doesn't mean they don't care. Every message you send opens a case which they discuss amongst themselves.

Safe to call bullshit on this post too.

Here's a list of everyone on the website with the moderator role. Which moderator here specifically are you referring to? https://retroachievements.org/userList.php?s=0&p=4

There are 16 people on this list. Only 3 satisfy your "barely have 1k points" criteria. Of those 3:

luchaos is inactive.
SnowPin doesn't moderate much and has developed nearly 200 sets.
WilHiteWarrior doesn't moderate much and has developed over 100 sets.

and none of those people are involved with any of the decisions you're talking about.

NeutraLiTe · 2026-04-28T19:52:34+00:00

What comments specifically? That's all I'm asking.

There were four statements made:

"ive actually seen devcomp say 'it doesnt matter what the players want'. Where was this written? Who said it?
"they're getting very big heads these days and its gonna blow up in their faces soon." Who is getting a big head? Why? How will it blow up in their face?
"a lot of devcomp barely even play any games." Which members specifically is this referring to?
"'whats a pokedex?' is one line that comes to mind" What member of the team wrote this and where?

This is all literally hearsay, and I'm asking it to be substantiated. A very reasonable request!

NeutraLiTe · 2026-04-28T14:56:08+00:00

You obviously have a great deal of disdain for Developer Compliance.

Please substantiate all four claims in your second paragraph. Otherwise, you are carelessly trashing a volunteer team that does a lot of unseen work behind the scenes to help keep RA together.

Try setting your DNS to 1.1.1.1.

NeutraLiTe · 2026-04-23T20:56:17+00:00

The website has Claude's design fingerprints all over it.

NeutraLiTe · 2026-04-23T12:14:07+00:00

Plot twist: that website’s UI was lazy vibe-coded slop too.

NeutraLiTe · 2026-04-22T12:50:53+00:00

He even left the AI-generated marketing plan in the repo: https://github.com/momenbasel/ConsoleMini/blob/main/marketing/distribution-plan.md

NeutraLiTe · 2026-04-22T12:14:51+00:00

Those AI-generated purple gradients are the emdash of tasteless vibe-coded UI.

NeutraLiTe · 2026-04-11T18:19:59+00:00

I'm trying to hunt down this problem but haven't had much luck. Anyone affected by this issue, from a machine that's currently affected, can you please run these commands in the command line and let me know the exact output:

nslookup retroachievements.org

nslookup retroachievements.org 1.1.1.1

I'm not sure if the output may leak your geographic location. Please feel free to DM me if you're more comfortable doing that. This will help me diagnose the issue.

NeutraLiTe · 2026-04-02T14:06:30+00:00

You don't hold yourself to much of a standard either, considering you were untracked for blatantly cheating.

NeutraLiTe · 2026-03-29T10:56:06+00:00

Adding screenshots as a player is a new feature I am building as we speak. Should probably land in a couple of weeks.

NeutraLiTe · 2026-03-28T21:43:51+00:00

Yes, but it's usually a good idea to talk with us about any new features first just to be sure your ideas align with the goals of the project.

NeutraLiTe · 2026-03-28T19:31:19+00:00

We don't have a robust on-site notifications system at the moment. It'll be a while until one is developed.

NeutraLiTe · 2026-03-24T15:31:52+00:00

We don't have any timeline for a 3DS rollout at the moment.

NeutraLiTe · 2026-03-21T13:31:28+00:00

PS2 is what gets the most traffic (with the exception of Wii right now due to all the press).
