Not sure. Maybe the same person who's prophesied to untangle the knot of Radium code and bring us to true paradise on functioning forum software?

Lowtax change it so that unregistered users can't list forums in the panel. Some piece of logic in the code decided that not being able to list forums means it should show the banned page. The banned page shows your username - it'd say something like "CONGRATULATIONS fishmech!!!". However, logged in users do not have a username, and get set to a default one. Thanks to literally radium, this default was "Unregistered human being".

I turned off the "logged out users can't see forums" setting for now, and pushed this patch to remove the slurs:

And instead of doing something about it, the overall reaction being to scream at us to "Stop talking about it. I SAID STOP TALKING ABOUT IT! THE PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY IF YOU JUST SHUT THE gently caress UP ABOUT IT"

Okay there's tons of drama going around right now, I do not prefer to spend my time dealing with forums drama. From now on, FYAD will stay in FYAD. That means no dumping on any other posters or threads on this forum, without explicit admin approval. We've got forums hating other forums, communities falling apart, and all this internet forum drama is overwhelming and unnecessary. As for the other moderation issues, we're working on that. Right now the admin team is stretched very thin, and is having a difficult time dealing with all the fires. Please allow us some time to address that. Thanks and happy new year!

PS: the mods and admins have my support in cracking down on inter-forum grudges, mockery, and helldumping. This is a comedy website, not a drama website, and we'd like to keep it that way. I'm sorry for any hurtful things I've done; my intention for SA is for it to be seen as a welcoming community.

does anyone have that initial announcement from last month right after this all started and FYAD and GCS was closed, where Smythe posted about how "FYAD is an important part of the forum's history and will continue to be." while not mentioning AT ALL the horrible poo poo they got closed for? It was so hilariously tone deaf, like if one kid hospitalized another at school and the announcement that went out to parents about the incident was basically "We value ALL our students here at Something Awful High School"
