So you’ve got a great idea for a hack, you just started working on it, and you can’t wait to tell everyone. STOP!
Do not make a “My New Hack” thread. If all you have so far is the idea, don’t post about it just yet. Once you have
something to show from your hack, a picture of the modification in action or something like that, post about it here. Look
through a few pages of the PK Hack section of the forum. You will notice many threads are of a new hacker announcing a
project, usually with a single picture or no picture at all, which will sometimes be locked and is never heard from again.
These are called Prospectus topics, and many involve the poster asking for people to help with parts of the hack. The
problem is most people don’t have the resolve to complete a hack, and those that are hacking are usually working on their
own project, or the current project that has attracted the group(currently the EB0 remake). The forum is littered with
these topics like skeletons in a wasteland. If you have something to share with the group, post it in the All Hackers
Thread. If you don’t, keep on hacking. Once your hack is finished make your own topic, then sit back and enjoy
knowing you actually finished an EarthBound hack. Inside the thread itself is a large collection of not only hacks in
progress, but various bits of info.
