I was working on a pack called Project M Vinci Edition 3.5-1 which takes inspiration from Patt Edition because Patt Edition has been cancelled, and today i saw that Brawl Vault has been shut down probably because is a server error? i wanted to add skins for Marth and Roy, but since Patt Edition didn't have good Marth and Roy skins that consist of characters that i don't like i wanted to download skins from Brawl Vault, there's an alternative to Brawl Vault?

This happens pretty frequently. Just wait for a few min/hours (depending on how bad it is) and refresh. It'll work again soon enough.

It sometimes does that. It's annoying but it goes back up not too long after.

EDIT: It's actually working but it's extremely glitched.

This is exactly why we should all support and switch to Modulous.

Its a shame that we're past the boom of Brawl hacking, many of the artists who submitted their work to the Vault have since moved on to other things and without their permission, migrating these will be very very difficult.

On the other hand, we'll be able to keep a level of quality at Modulous by not having 24 different Shadow the Hedgehogs...

No. Pretentious garbage the website with "no adblock pls we need da money" isn't a suitable replacement for a website that only suffers from server errors while remaining ad free.

Because that's a bad thing, right.

I would honestly rather have ads then a server that always gives me problems. Even randomly it just gives me errors.

Server errors are only a recent occurrence. New faces in the hacking community aren't familiar with brawlvault to begin with, so of course you'll flock to mr. modern API.
Modulus has zero substance and a worse interface than brawlvault.

How long have you been using the internet exactly if you expect a website that's been around for several years to not experience server errors when run on the admin's personal income?

Brawl vault won't even let me register.

I've tried many times with multiple email addresses.

I'm not even wanting to be in this debate, but I do support modulous just because I can use it.

Edit; typo

That seems to be a common problem with SMF, moreso than BrawlVault. I myself had to wait a hefty while to get my confirmation after registration.

I'd obviously love it if BrawlVault's servers improved, but I'd much rather have a ****load of content with minor server errors.

Looks like that Brawl Vault is down again, but it owrks, but the load times are very slow.

Are you going to pay the bills? I'm currently paying modulous myself, do you really expect a 15 year old to have stable-enough income to pay the bills and server-costs?

Modulous ads are not a problem, literally the only ad you will ever see is in the footer of the page, non-intrusive, actually, you rarely even see it unless the pag is small enough to include the footer, you will never see sound-based ads, or popups, please don't act like i'm an evil person just for doing that.

I removed the minimum quality rule so bad quality content can exist, while I don't agree it's what the community wanted, I understand why they don't wanted it, so I did remove it.

Please stop spreading false information, I don't hate KC-MM, in fact I created modulous solely because I wanted people to have an alternative, KC-MM has done way more than Modulous will probably ever do.

I do not like the fact that kc-mm has issues, it's not about kc-mm, it's about it's issues.

You're listed as 25. Reason would believe you'd be working or have some source of stable income, not to mention being able to handle criticisms over the internet. I can't pull my punches after the fact.

This is more so a nitpick tied in with the age thing. I'm inclined to turn off adblock for sites and admins I care about, not ones who I believe to hold a position of maintaining their domain and server, not to mention one whom opened up the site with ads after a little over a month.

I removed the minimum quality rule so bad quality content can exist, while I don't agree it's what the community wanted, I understand why they don't wanted it, so I did remove it.
We may be in an age of high quality now, but brawl hacking started out as ****. Your site will draw in newcomers and at best, they won't know how to make anything more than a texture. Nobody wants to see "fan character the hedgchidnafox" but their mods have to start out somewhere.
Please stop spreading false information,
I'm making criticisms, not spreading misinformation. Saying the interface is bad, that it has no substance, or comes off as pretentious is an opinion, not absolute fact. But fine, I'll ease up.
I don't hate KC-MM, in fact I created modulous solely because I wanted people to have an alternative, KC-MM has done way more than Modulous will probably ever do.

Then please make it sound as such. The first impression I've gathered from your reddit debut posts as well as the screenshot I snapped above say to me "brawlvault is pretty outdated and hard to navigate, so I built this newer and still incomplete, thus harder to navigate, website as a replacement."
Newer faces in the hacking community will only ever see it as some buggy mess with server issues as they weren't around for all the **** that happened over the years including the hackdowns and ddos attacks, of which kcmm has never truly recovered from.

That really bites that it's a common error. I really wanted access to their tutorials and resources. I've been waiting for months, so I've really kind of given up. I don't want to keep checking my email for it anymore.

As a side note, I'm really impressed with the class of debate here. I wasn't expecting a direct conflict about modulous to blow over so fairly. Over the years, I suppose I've severely underestimated Smash modders.
