Medal Guide

Medals are back with a refreshed purpose! In an effort to make medals less restricted to few time events, we've retired a portion of the previous medals and introduced a new, generally attainable set of medals in lieu of them.

To help our administrators out, for any medal requests, please reach out through this Google form. Note that medals will not be awarded for events that never existed on the forums and will only be awarded for projects that currently exist on the forums and are compatible with at least MM8BDM V5.

As alluded to in Cutstuff's initial shutdown announcement, the official archive download is now here! Within the download below, you'll find a record of all threads that were public at the time of Cutstuff's closure in text format. Note that all post times are in GMT time zone.

In the interest of keeping this new site a fresh start with mostly up to date content, I'd like to ask that people don't use this archive to indiscriminately mirror old forum posts.

While the post format is purposefully similar, it isn't exactly the same, so many posts may not look right when directly copied over. Additionally, Cutstuff suffered rampant link rot (broken Discord / MediaFire links), so many older threads simply won't have useful downloads whenever mirrored.

My exception to this is for any content creators / maintainers who have relatively up to date mods. If using this archive helps you get your projects mirrored to this new forum sooner, then by all means go ahead. I'd just again recommend that you preview the thread to make sure it looks and downloads right when transferred over.

As a final note, some of the archive's older posts may contain unsavory or inappropriate content, some of which might be considered harassment today. Please keep in mind that the people who have made these posts will have moved on and many of them have grown past the more abrasive tendencies demonstrated by some of these posts.

Just because something was posted on the old forums does not mean it is appropriate to do or say here.

Welcome to the new Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch website!

Unfortunately, Cutstuff became a bit unmanageable with its age, so with that in mind, we've built this new site custom for MM8BDM with newer tools. With this new site, you'll find better integration between the forum and news blog so that new projects and events get a spotlight in their own dedicated section.

Additionally, with the introduction of a brand new server browser and Discord hub, it'll be easier than ever for new players to hop right into the action. We hope that this'll help new players become active in the community much quicker.

Let us know if you encounter any issues with the new site and we'll get it patched up quick!
