Facebook Aunt posted:It's not that it's hard, it's that they've been waiting for version 2.0 to be ready. Version 2.0 has been delayed. dunno i think Lowtax said, buried deep in the Neogaf thread, that it's actually gonna be hard and expensive. He intends to keep all of our existing features, and the database setup is really bad, so he's going to have to pay the Xenforo people to migrate all the threads and poo poo over. He said it would be easy if this was stock vB, but since it's customized so much, the existing import tools won't work so it'll need to be done with customized tools. He won't know when/how much it'll cost until 2.0 is released and he can work with their devs or whoever to build a migration plan. edit: Lowtax posted:Still waiting for 2.0, then gotta figure out the costs to migrate and get all the custom code put in, since I've blown through the jpeg spaceship money on hosting costs and poo poo. I'll be able to get an estimate once they release 2.0 and I'm able to talk to coders / modders about the time requirements and amount of code needed for importing and adding all current features. Also layout-wise (or design-wise), the site would pretty much be the same, except certain functions (the purchase system, mobile versions, etc) would be enhanced. Lowtax posted:Okay, if we had a stock, unmodified version of vB, we could, in theory, easily transfer everything over to a stock, unmodified version of xenForo. Unfortunately, the forums software is so heavily modded that roughly 80% of it is custom code hacked together over the years. This was done because, back in the early 2000s, there weren't mods available for things like buying an account, putting users on probation, bookmarking threads, buying custom titles, etc etc etc, so radium + the other coders had to manually edit the php of the core vB code to support these features. Now most of these features are (somewhat) available for forums, but the problem is that when we added these features, they were in-house and hacks to the existing vB code. So not only will all the custom db tables (like rap sheet, bookmarks, colored threads, etc etc) have to be manually recoded, but also converted to a new table and a new type of custom code. It comes down to the fact that none of the features we wanted were available at the time (as plugins), so we had to code them in-house. Now a lot of those features are supported, but to move ours over to a new system, it's like having to translate and convert every single mod. `Nemesis fucked around with this message at 07:43 on Nov 8, 2017 |

Nefarious 2.0 posted:the forums aren't actually going to change the forums are going to change actually. not in any major way, which would be annoying but something you could get over after the dust settled if you decided to stay. no, they're going to change in the worst possible way. they're going to seem the same while actually being slightly different. a very visible minority is going to go vocally and violently insane for at least a month if not more while most people just go about their business. anarchy will reign for a while. there will be a lot of bans. then the new forum will assert itself and within a pretty small timeframe the new will become normal and people will stop caring. until then it's gonna be a wild ride

Has the SA forums ever been hacked? Security by obscurity seems to be working out pretty well in this case, radium must have been some kind of savant

Lowtax trying to change the font size by 1 broke like a million things. I'm sure the XenForo upgrade will go smoothly and we'll all be posting like nothing even happened.

Forums revenue is now currently 8% of what it used to be, right now it takes roughly half a month *just* to pay for hosting costs, and I've had to take out loans to cover bills, and I've had to take a $10,000 penalty to withdraw $10,000 from my IRA to cover costs, so we might have to wait a little bit before I can amass enough money to pay for pretty much anything at this point. Aint nobody buying nothing on the forums.

Yes and he should probably mention it from time to time because the last time he did it shot up from $250-ish to $600/month overnight https://graphtreon.com/creator/GamingGarbage https://www.patreon.com/GamingGarbage/ I am pretty sure that if Lowtax actually starts losing money on this place the most loyal goons would adjust their pledge to make sure it breaks even at least.
