Latest News: Our step into the future - SMWC2 Open Beta
I'm pleased to unveil SMWC2: an ongoing long-term project to completely overhaul SMW Central's design. Today, SMWC2 enters an open beta phase in which you can experience the new design first-hand!
After much consideration, we've taken the decision to archive the Français forum under International SMW Hacking, and create a thread for French-speaking SMW hackers to discuss in instead. Due to the Français forum's low activity over the past couple of years, we decided it's best to condense any future activity into a smaller home. Should the French-speaking SMW hacking community grow or disagree with this decision, we can always take the steps to unarchive it in the future.
We've also moved the SMW Data Repository from being a subforum of the Resources & Tools Releases forum, to being a subforum of SMW Hacking Help. This change better reflects the forum's purpose as a repository of information.
Winter C3 2021 has officially begun! Find the dedicated forum here to see everything going on, share your latest creations and have some fun as we see how well you remember the past:
