JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

sup, bitch?
instead of a website, new forums will be a desktop application with an xul-based ui and plugins using DCOM.

It will probably be a jarring experience where awful app stops working and people decide to switch to reddit instead. At best it will have no effect on the userbase.

obviously there would be a published API and a dev server for app developers to test against prior to the final migration going online.

lol just kidding, it's gonna be a shitshow.

I unironically thought about working on a service-based forum as a side project but realized that even if I cared enough to keep doing it I would be tied to lowtax and well hmmmm.

if the dude who own funny.computer wants to work on the offsite though txt me :3: there will be a place for you all
