i seriously bet you could recreate the basic forum infrastructure with a version one with about a month's worth of work maybe it won't have everything all at once, but that's again the lowtax perfectionism start with the basics knowing what the forum looks like now, and make your way there slowly

the hardest part is the poo poo that's not software: the existing data, the image attachments, the countless hyperlinks but you have to accept that some of that poo poo is just not gonna make it

community features poast of the weak v3.11 requires new or $2 yearly sub integrate some of the goon sideprojects - make awfull app and goontube official (how? DUNNO) integrated wiki make my phone beep when I get quoted, or when there are posts in threads I pick. fps module maybe extra $2/yr to access a dumb sitewide ts/mumble more youtubes? add coverage of ACTUAL events to frontpage? Dumb nerd newsblogs get mad hitts yall change the number of memes, more or less

horse mans posted:i seriously bet you could recreate the basic forum infrastructure with a version one with about a month's worth of work yeah this is how you'd actually fix it. it's not a lot of work to replace the forums, forum, and thread view which is the server bottleneck the existing url structure could be maintained:
those are the core features that can be fixed without much effort (a month or so) the hardest bit is cache invalidation but that's just a dependency graph horse mans posted:you have to accept that some of that poo poo is just not gonna make it there's a lot of fat to trim
all of these don't really matter and aren't the bottleneck. so you could eventually support them but it's (imo) not very important N.Z.'s Champion fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Sep 28, 2015 |

are you people serious the spit-and-bailing-wire nature of the forums is part of the appeal sa feels like an old club that's never been remodeled and still has graffiti from decades ago, where the bathrooms don't work half the time, the bartender is deaf, the bands are all terrible, there's a back room that's been walled up after a fire because there wasn't any money to rebuild it, the regulars are all assholes, and you keep going there anyway because the alternative is one of the shiny new clubs that's filled with people who are "dancing" to dubstep and unironically want to attend sxsw

Space-Pope posted:literally being scammed for over a decade by a guy whose credentials included "worked for planetquake for a year" Lowtax posted:Early on, when he first came on board, things were good. He would actually, you know, DO THINGS. He added a lot of features to the forums, built a CMS for the front page, and handled tech support. So he showed the capability, and I guess that's what always stuck in my mind when I was debating firing him.
