Comasu
My first community around RPG Maker and forum software, now only an archive.
First release in this family: October 6, 2005
Back when rubber boots were still made of wood, there was software for building 2D games called RPG Maker. There was hardly anything comparable. At the same time, forums (bulletin boards) were a new thing. While I was interested in forum tech (PHP), a forum friend was wild about RPG Maker, so we teamed up and built Comasu: Community Maker Support. It was a place for RPG Maker fans to connect, ask questions, and share resources.
Over the years I kept swapping out the forum software, hence the different versions below.
By now... well, forums are largely a niche thing; I do other things, and Comasu now exists only as an archive.
Comasu v1
Launch of the "Community Maker Support" forum.
Comasu v2
Forum software update and new design.
Comasu v3
Now less RPG Maker and more focus on the forum ecosystem.
Comasu v4
Another forum software update, with a focus on RPG development.
Comasu v5
Fourth and final forum software update. Now only an archive for old forum posts.
