Modding something like this is feasible tho, and not too hard. Lowtax give me administration access and all your passwords and I will do it. https://github.com/carry0987/Imgur-Upload

Unironically I am at the point where I don’t care about my regdate nor my post count, I would rather make sure that the community survives and that we move to xenforo/some other option ASAP so we can stop tossing money down the drain for bandwidth costs that would most likely be significantly reduced with more modern software Xenforo license is 140$ + 50$ for enhanced search + 60$ for the resource manager + 40$/yr for extended support. We don’t need gangtags, plat, or whatever else and xenforo comes built in with paid upgrade features so it should be easy as hell I really really don’t want to go to forums.somethingawful.com and get a 404 then go to your twitter to see “hey yeah so rip the forums I’m living out of my GTR right now and needless to say it is very cramped” or whatever

The back to top arrow could use a more graceful acceleration arc. Also all button clicks should have vibrations https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Vibration_API Just sayin

Auto refresh is very annoying especially for at work posting. Twitter stuff and back to top button are annoying but meh. Auto refresh forces me to close the tab.

if cloudflare is charging you more than $0.01/GB you could move "fi.somethingawful.com" to point to a digital ocean droplet. you don't even have to move the images there, just setup a cache like varnish. assuming cloudflare is charging you $0.04, and you move ~25TB/month, and "fi" is 80% of that, it'd save you about... ~$500/month StabbinHobo fucked around with this message at 04:19 on Jun 15, 2018 |

I hate to complain about effort put into the forums, but I'm not a fan of things that clutter up the screen and the new back-to-top button just doesn't seem useful. It's a slower and more obnoxious version of the one that's already there, which I never use anyway, because I have both a scroll wheel and a home key. The share/refresh things I'm indifferent about, and the post caching thing seems genuinely useful once you get the bugs worked out.Lowtax posted:Nah, rickroll has no place here. SA has a proud history of goatse and I will continue that tradition.

Weener Beater posted:Agreed, what would it take to do a migration and rehost? No, no migration. Start anew with empty forums and subforums. A blank slate. All threads start from scratch. I'm not joking; keep the links to the old threads working but don't bother listing them on the new platform. Now the migration challenge is gone and the only challenge is to choose a generic forum software and host and configure it to your liking.

Weener Beater posted:Agreed, what would it take to do a migration and rehost? A megafuckton of work. Even just migrating a moderately large database without breaking things isn't easy (source: I'm in the middle of a migration that should have finished nine months ago), God only knows what rehosting 17 years of glorious shitposting will take. Lowtax does not get the credit he deserves for running this place.

What we should do is have everyone memorize their posts and be sure to remake them on Xenforo.

As someone who likes to have the thread list of frequently visited subforums open all the time (Tree Style Tab makes it easy and convenient) the new automatic refresh feature kills my CPU, battery and Lowtax' bandwith. Can this be toggled off somehow?
