Hi everyone, happy new year! As we bid farewell to '23, let's take a moment to
|
|
reflect on the remarkable journey FMHY has had this year:
|
|
|
|
- We made a new website, enriched with an array of handcrafted features (by me,
|
|
of course) to enhance your experience and make browsing the wiki pleasant on
|
|
all devices (mobile included!)
|
|
- We opened our Discord server and reached 10k members, which introduced many
|
|
new great people to this community and made contribution easy
|
|
- We've reached 250k+ members and 31 million views on reddit!
|
|
- Our FMHYedit repository oversaw an impressive 1k+ pull requests made by the
|
|
community and merged over 8k commits!
|
|
- This wiki has grown to be more than just a piracy index, so we felt it is about
|
|
time other sections get some love. As such, we organized and separated tools
|
|
sections into their own pages, which allowed us to move a lot of useful tools
|
|
out of storage and make it a lot easier to discover them
|
|
- We started the debloat arc of FMHY and went from 27k links to 24k! We've
|
|
removed a lot of dead, useless, and niche links / categories, as well as
|
|
re-organized a lot of sections for better clarity and easier navigation
|
|
|
|
As we enter 2024, we eagerly expect to build on our achievements and
|
|
evolving together. FMHY wouldn't be what it is today without the love and
|
|
support of everyone in this community. Thank you for being an integral part of
|
|
FMHY. Here's to another year of growth and success! 💙

# Things Removed
|
|
|
|
- Removed SevenGamers as they've
|
|
[decided to shut down](https://i.imgur.com/C5sgVqI.png).
|
|
|
|
- Removed YasDL as they uploaded a version of StarDock with the same malware
|
|
that FilecCR and others have gotten removed for.
|
|
|
|
- Removed Torrentz2 as they've stopped indexing new torrents.
|
|
|
|
- Unstarred LookMovie as they've added a
|
|
[10-second wait](https://i.imgur.com/I0D9Hyt.png) before videos play.
|
|
|
|
- Unstarred DS4Windows in gaming tools. You can just add games to steam and turn
|
|
on PS4 controller support by right-clicking the game.
|
|
|
|
- Unstarred Ideogram as it is no longer unlimited.
|
|
|
|
- Removed EveryNoiseAtOnce as the dev has been
|
|
[let go from Spotify](https://i.imgur.com/AaIrcAc.png).
|
|
|
|
- Removed CryptoStorm as its [possibly unsafe](https://i.imgur.com/VDlSY1T.png).
|
|
The owner has no ties to it anymore apparently, but It is still hard to trust a
|
|
company with a history this dark.
|
|
|
|
- Removed our backups from NotABug. Their site goes down nearly
|
|
[every day](https://i.imgur.com/Vx8Ou68.png) at this point, and its become a
|
|
nightmare to keep 25 wiki pages updated there. If they ever fix their issues,
|
|
we may bring it back.
