The State of The Mega Man Network - 12/17/20

“Life is what happens to us while we are making other plans.” ― Allen Saunders 

Today marks the 33rd anniversary of our beloved Blue Bomber, Mega Man. As such, this was the day I was hoping that The Mega Man Network would be live once again, but it's been one of those years. Actually, for me, personally, it's been a couple of those years.

The last time The Mega Man Network updated was on June 27th, unless you want to count the shift to the ambiguous landing page we added on September 2nd that lasted way longer than I ever expected it to. But the truth is, what we've been doing has been in the works for the better part of two years. It's been a long, painfully arduous road, and regretfully, we're not done yet. Nevertheless, for those who have been wondering, I felt an explanation was overdue.

Suffice to say, we're making changes to the site. Plans are in motion, but life comes at you fast and life comes at you hard, and you know what they say about the best laid plans. We're not deterred, however, merely encumbered.

As it currently stands, we have just recently hit a roadblock, and are currently at a standstill. We need help.

Specifically, if anyone is familiar with PHP, we could really use a knowledgable assist in that field to get things going again. In addition, if anyone has ever successfully migrated a site from SquareSpace to WordPress? Well, we could really use a hand with that, too, as the two have not been playing nice for us so far. If you're able to help, reach out to @themmnetwork on Twitter or email the.mega.man.network (at) gmail(dot)com, and I'll put you in touch with Lance, and hopefully we can get things rolling again.

There are still a lot of pieces which need to be moved into place, but it is my sincere hope that the next time The Mega Man Network is live, it will not only be bigger and better than before, but also have the necessary room for growth that I know so many of you want.

With that, I'll see you on the other side.

Happy Holidays (and Happy 33rd Anniversary, Mega Man!),
