Title: i did it
Post by: rtil on October 2, 2023 04:17 AM
after 3+ years of me not fixing the forum i finally did it

unfortunately the forum software was so goddamn old that the only way to do this meant sacrificing the old theme, so everything looks very default now

if there's any interest in actually using the forum i think it would be fun to re-shape it into something more unique, but we'll see

obviously part of the reason why i didn't bother for so long was that we've all long since moved on to discord, but i know a lot of people (including myself) have many fond (or horrible) memories here, which is why i made it a point to keep all the posts intact

speaking of which, there's probably a lot of broken images, missing avatars, autoplays/swfs don't work anymore, etc etc. i can't do much about that if they are not hosted here. but all things considered, i'm pretty happy that the upgrade worked without anything exploding.

just a heads up something is wrong with the email service atm so if you need to recover your password or something you probably won't get an email. you can message me on discord to reset it manually in the meantime

Here's a shitty userstyle (https://gist.githubusercontent.com/voidn/01e8b3277fffe260d52cae18c265cd13/raw/51cf2f6c27b6cbeb9137ee456f1ac9663636f924/DarkAlley.user.css) to darken the forums while we wait for God to bless us.

If it breaks anything, rant and rave at your postman, he'll know what to do.
