Site Feedback / We're...back?
« on: November 10, 2025, 08:31:53 PM »
Maybe. It's a one-man operation right now. It's taking a while to clear out the cobwebs and fix things that are long broken. Some of the site has actually managed to stay online this whole time.
First order of business is trying to get these forums back online. We were running an extremely outdated version of IPB (the last version they provided to "lifetime" license holders). There's really no way to convert the database, especially to anything current, yet here we are.
Please be patient, I expect some bugs, and not everything will have transferred over correctly (especially file attachments, not sure what to do about those). It also seems to have randomly locked lots of topics...as old as they are, I probably won't bother fixing that.
