Hey there! Thanks for your interest in my hack. I think you're the only one who noticed that the thread was closed.
I asked the admin to close the thread because I wanted to create a new account and start a new Aurum thread when there's a playable Beta. I personally hate seeing threads of fun-looking hacks with nice screenshots that aren't updated so I thought I'd try to get the thread removed.
To be very honest with you, I haven't touched the Aurum hack at all since last November I believe. I was really busy with life stuff and I started working on a semi-mini hack. It's inspired by Mateo's Pokemon Christmas Hack if you haven't played that, and I'm using this new Christmas mini-hack to learn how to script effectively before I plunge into Aurum. So, hang in there! I'm also planning to release the mini-hack once I get a decent playable Beta possible. Once I finish that to my satisfaction, I'll go back to Aurum.
One more thing that you might be interested in: seeing my cousin play B&W has convinced me to put all Dragon Pokemon in Aurum, with the exception of Dragon legendaries.
Thanks for your interest in my hack once again!
