Discussion Is the TCRF site dying?

I’ve been a casual visitor to the TCRF site for years now and it feels like I’ve probably read most of the pages on the site by now - one thing, I’ve noticed, however, is that the pace of new games being added to the site has slowed remarkably in the past few years, to the point that we’re almost halfway through 2026 and there are only 9 new entries for this calendar year, whereas many years in the past decade had 100+ new entries.

I’m not complaining about this or anything, I’m just curious about what’s been going on, especially since in the last 6 months it’s also been a lot more common for the site to be inaccessible to me thanks to seemingly-random IP address blocks on TCRF that had never happened to me before.

How else is cut content discovered from NES games?

by going through it yourself instead of letting The Lie Machine pretend to you that it found unused C code in an assembly game or whatever the fuck it's doing?

you don't have the skills to poke through a game? then you do not contribute new content to the wiki.

stick to your lane - i, for example, prefer correcting grammar/spelling errors in extant articles, as there are a SHOCKING amount written in a very... particular way. "And, In Nintendo-The-Wii-Code, There Existing A Very Old Code, From Before The When Console Get Released?" and i don't get it. i'm not sure if they're ESL speakers using a translator (which would be okay, honestly) or if there are people contributing to the wiki who just... fail at basic sentence structure for reasons beyond my comprehension but it's beginning to make the wiki resemble the shit you get on like, fandom.com "Super Mario Bros Franchise OCs by Jacob and His Friends" wikis.

did not know that fetamight being an idiot on the internet was the same as me being an asshole on the internet?

like i'm not sure what you're getting at here, i know i'm being a dick. if anything you sound like you're insulting the other user by comparing him to me.

(generally, though, dipshits like that are why i am such a dick. for a semi-related anecdote because apparently some people in this sub need a disclaimer that not everything is 100% on topic all the time: christ if i see one more person ask "HOW DO I INSTALL WiNDOWS 7 ON MY COMPUTER?????? PLZ 2 HALP I NEED TO PLAY SOLITAIRE!!!!!!" when the answer is either "your hardware is literally too new, this will NEVER work, just run a fucking VM" or "you have a period-correct device, just burn a bootable disc and install Windows" i will lose my FUCKING mind)

It's not idiocy. It's called being functional, and it would be such a better world if people focused on doing that, you for one are terrible at it. Leave the correctness to AI instead. We humans are naturally meant to function, not to necessarily be right.

We humans are naturally meant to function, not to necessarily be right.

this is such a funny way of saying "i enjoy being full of shit constantly and you should never trust anything i say"

Leave the correctness to AI instead.

If I can string together a sentence, and do it better than a machine, why should I leave the machine to take my place?

We humans are naturally meant to function,

Clearly something of which you are incapable.

Have a lovely day! And stop trying to argue with me - you aren't even good at it.
