    New MKCentral Site - 2023 Progress Report

    Hey, glad to hear there's been good progress on the new registry site! I looked at the github briefly and I was really happy. Even if it's new code it was a big throwback to all the fun (and hard work) I put into MKC years ago. I take it there won't be any forums, right? And move to 100%...

    Message to the Community, '22

    Message to the Community, '22 Hi everyone! Four years ago, a group of talented and experienced community members set out to create MKCentral. Some of those who embarked on the shared vision are still around, even maintaining a leading role, myself included. Over the years we’ve seen plenty of...

    Opinions for the Betterment of the Community

    Yes, that's the perception I get (that it has improved). I do not think (as proposed in the OP) that removing him would have necessarily been the right move, or that there is a correct move to begin with (all options are too unpredictable due to the nature of things). I think to some extent he...

    MK8DX Booster Pass Abbreviations

    Yep, it's a gradual learning curve for maybe 12-20 months, and then for all of eternity we have to do it all at once. This is interesting, because if you are given the number you can locate it in the game faster, but if you know only the track you are imagining, you still have to know the cup...

    MK8DX Booster Pass Abbreviations

    The numbers are needlessly redundant here. If you have a conflict in the same wave (......b1CMx), then it adds no value. If you have a conflict in different waves, you're still adding a number you have to remember, instead of a letter (but it may be less intuitive to know the waves rather than...

    a/b/c is more to remember cause you have to remember which of the 3 to use. Using b for all is not as bad as that, since any suffix/etc would be an exception, not the rule to remember.

    MK8DX Booster Pass Abbreviations

    Is this their pronouncations (in call), or how they actually type it? I believe it to be the former. In that case, we shouldn't worry about how they say it, it's like we say "dry dry" or "bone dry", yet the abbreviations are separate and untouched. The max we would have is 5. most would be 4 or...

    MK8DX Booster Pass Abbreviations

    RaR is from MKSC, not SMK. Personally I've never used it, but there's a valid argument: MK64 did not keep RR while making Royal Raceway RRy as it is. It also made Rainbow Road RRd. And so following that pattern it is 100% fair to make GBA Rainbow Road "RaR" while Ribbon Road is "RiR"...

    MK8DX Booster Pass Abbreviations

    I prefer having the same rule that handles tracks that are ambiguous rather than two cases. But also, in this case 'o' and 'a' look (from a format perspective) the same as a suffix but they are part of a word, not an additional suffix. It's best not to have two rules when one will suffice...

    MK8DX Booster Pass Abbreviations

    We don't need to, since there are no conflicts which would require it. rRRy and rRRd do not need the suffix since it would make no difference (both N64, and they were the same way in MK64) dRiR could be dRRa and dRR be dRRs, but to be clear that was not the intent of the proposal. The...

    MK8DX Booster Pass Abbreviations

    For those that don't agree with my philosophy on allowing flexibility, I'm willing to give a definite proposal a shot: Default to 'b' prefix. e.g bPP, bTC In case of a conflict, use a suffix: CMw (Wii Coconut Mall) CM64 (N64 Choco Mountain) Other examples: MC1s (SNES/SFC Mario Circuit 1)...

    Yes and no. For something like MKLeaderboards, it would make sense to be consistent. Since a lot of people come to sites from MKLeaderboards from outside the community, it's also easier to understand. For talking in chat, people are still going to call the tracks what they want, which very...
