So it's becoming increasingly less of a secret that a migration of some sort is imminent. I'm going to be using this opportunity to sever some limbs and fix a lot of the stuff that has been left broken around here for a little too long. One of those broken things is SMF 2.0.6, and more specifically, karma.
From SMF 2.0 on, stuff we used to love/hate around here, like karma reasons, has been unsupported and curiously just keeps on remaining unsupported. It's getting to the point where the only way to build the Brontoforums we deserve need want is to drop SMF and try to find something that's got the kind of candy we're looking for. This of course will necessarily require a fresh start.
Now, that doesn't mean we have to delete stuff. We've already demonstrated that you can comfortably run an entirely separate instance of the forum (Wrath) on the same server and not be any worse off for it. I can pretty easily restore this thing, and stuff it in a subdomain like prehistoric.brontoforum.us (or go buy apatoforum.us just to be punchy) so that people can still go back and read The End and stuff. Either way I sort of have to rebuild SMF and figure out a way to stick all the past several years of posts back in*, because we're going to be salting the Earth pretty hard when this move takes place.
People get attached to things, though, so I'm putting it up for debate now while there's still a pretty good lead time on whatever is about to happen. Take your vote and comment if you've got any suggestions about what we can do to make this place more tyrannical!!!
I mean, gnilley.
This place is already pretty tyrannical.
* Which I already did once when we moved from gamespite to brontoforum, so it must not be that hard. I just kinda forget absolutely everything about how to do it.
