astral posted:Personally I'm more worried about their escalating anti-adblock masures. The forums have so many imgur images at this point that I would hate to see it go the way of imageshack, waffleimages, etc. All the more reason to have our own service. So many classic goldmine threads are there because of the images in them. A lot are now kinda pointless because the images are now lost when imageshack and the like died.

The SA imageshack archive still exists, but whether it's hooked up properly to the relevant posts is another question. Some of the waffleimages still exist on what I believe to be their last-surviving mirror so there is hope of preserving many of those, as well.

astral posted:Before the 2016 cloud move, the hosting costs were, in fact, much higher, but my understanding is the forums also made even more money back then. what was the old server layout from back then? I think ZDR had talked about it before during the move but I don't know where to look at to find it. The physical servers must have been just mental on how they worked and with how things are described we largely were trusting god knows how old hardware with no backups for the forums for drat near 15 years.

LITERALLY A BIRD posted:I actually tried to keep it Quote Yellow but it was pretty eye-searing. I went for a nice rich blue instead. Thoughts? The blue kind of blends in with the rest of dark mode. Maybe something with contrast but not so hard on the eyes, like a soft and light pink? Or lavender?  No, forget it, it's awful.

You wish to pay the writers but not the posters? Top posters, such as myself, deserve at least a fraction of a penny for every time their post is viewed, a la the Spotify model. If my posts earned even a mere $0.001 per view, I would surely be a  aire at this point.

astral posted:Over the last week we've largely rectified this. We've taken backups, spun up three new database servers (2 live forums, 1 archives), imported all the data, set up replication (meaning changes to the main database server are sent to the replica database server), and after the cloud provider maintenance is behind us we'll work on migrating the forums from the old database servers to the new (timeline TBD). I mean zero shade by this, but thank you for bringing the forums into 2006. Chief McHeath posted:You wish to pay the writers but not the posters?

Thanks for all of this! I am one of the old timers that came back when I heard there were changed happening. I'm loving dark more so far. Much easier on the eyes at night.

Overall dark mode looks great, but can we get some slightly separate highlight colours for threads in the user control panel when using dark mode? Some bright pink and purple or other stuff that's easier to tell apart. The current colours are kinda hard to distinguish with dark mode in their darker form.

The Kins posted:They still have their API so you can upload poo poo via ShareX on desktop (or probably like 20 different mobile apps) and hotlink it here without ever having to so much as see their website. If they start putting the screws on that, then yeah, it's a good time to panic. yeah i was gonna say even the program i use to make xcom clips is able to hook in and upload them anonymously, and then vomit back the url i need to post there is a weird situation where doing it through that can sometimes produce urls like ABCD123h.gifv and there is a set of terminating characters that form thumbnails, lowercase h is for huge and if you don't manually cut that one off it won't load when you go to preview posts. Also it seems to arbitrarily fail for no known reason sometimes? It gives an error in programmer speak that I can't understand. it's not super optimal because it's still a host that's not by goons for goons™ or whatever and they could go out of business or something, but I think it should be completely possible for you to be able to click "insert pic" and your browser asks for the file, and then it uploads it to imgur for you, and then it loads the url into the post. I know this kind of stuff already works on other forums but not the details of how it works  . I think there are other hosts that let you do the same thing.

This looks good, visible and not eye-searing. FWIW the Awful App uses green for quotes and that also works well in darker themes.
