Just let me know if there are any issues and I'll send an e-mail to the webmaster.
Usually things get fixed within a day or two.

I'm guessing by ReVamped, you're thinking something much closer to The Adventure than ReBirth beat-by-beat, but still a step up in gameplay and graphics (perhaps more like Haunted Castle Revisited?).  Perhaps a Castlevania The Adventure ReVisited?

Basically this. I'm thinking they'll likely be a remake of sorts, potentially like Adventure Rebirth, which doesn't sit exactly with the OG, but rather follows the stage-by-stage formatting of the ClassicVania's.

i’ve had my share of scares - just yesterday couldn’t load the forums, but fortunately it has always come back if you wait long enough.  hopefully that will remain the case for a long time to come.

The discord is still pretty active. I think it's happening to almost all communities in general: Discord seems to have eclipsed internet forums, since to a large extent it can serve their functions as well (separate discussion topics into different channels, everything is archived and searchable, etc). Here's an invite link if you want, maybe we can get a permanent one later

Cool.  What do you consider "ReVamped"?  I'm not familiar with the term as far as how it might differ from a remake or a remaster.  You're hoping that putting two of the GB games in the Anniversary Collection and releasing Legends in a Nintendo Switch Online doesn't mean that they're done with those titles.  I'm guessing by ReVamped, you're thinking something much closer to The Adventure than ReBirth beat-by-beat, but still a step up in gameplay and graphics (perhaps more like Haunted Castle Revisited?).  Perhaps a Castlevania The Adventure ReVisited?

I feel you. I will say that I feel like I have things in common and have gotten to know a handful of members here, on one hand.

On the other hand - again, outside of a few members - I never really hear from anyone on here, even on an irregular basis, half the time the site seems to be down (perhaps partly because I'm in Australia) while I love the aspect of retaining older sites, writing reviews occasionally and so forth, a) there's been very little 'newness' in Castlevania for a very long time, and b) I assume the heavyhitters and olderheads like myself have moved on and are doing other things in life.   

So yeah, it is what it is. Greatful for the admin, mods and anyone involved in keeping the forums alive.

I reckon there's definitely going to be two more collections, one being ReVamped GB games (with Adventure Rebirth as the bonus title). These may be released more slowly over time, then collated later down the track; one with the 3d games, with what I hope will be a ReVamped Resurrection, similar to what Nintendo did with Starfox 2 for the SNES Classic Mini.

If you ever play Castlevania: The Arcade, you can always pretend that Vampire Hunter is this Belmont that you're imagining.  He's pretty much a blank slate and he's got a look that could work with it.  Although you sadly wouldn't be able to fight him.

I hope "this" isn't the only fall surprise for this year.  Good for people liking to collect games on GOG though.
