Uncle Enzo posted:was there a good reason given as why the forum's rewrite wasn't publicly hosted on github or similar? people could help maybe. understand why the old code can't be distributed due to some being proprietary, but getting a copyright agreement and licensing from new contributors should be straightforward? I'd like this but I'm not sure how much it'd help since People Who Know Elixir isn't a large community don't really understand that decision instead of something like Python/golang/C#

I don't think language choice is triviata, it's a problem that any architect has to think about given the strength of talent/community/tools surrounding a language

Worst case you end up with another Radium-esque situation where the one person who can untangle the bespoke functional forums code quits and it ends up accumulating debt + security vulnerabilities

hopefully xenforo has crazy rear end features like paginating the private message list so it doesn't crash the forums by loading+templating all of a user's messages

ugh why not build a simple archives viewer instead of trying to jam it into xenforo just throw it up on elasticsearch or something and make people pay to use the frontend

cis autodrag posted:yeah this is what I mean. when your average open minded millennial sees our main forum full of "I'm gay lol a tranny boob thread" they get turned off and go somewhere else. You mean an enlightened and extremely popular medium like Reddit, right

Millennials "on average" aren't particularly open minded or brilliant or anything SA is just a pretty negative, repetitive place regardless of the politics, YOSPOS falls into a pattern of the same handful of people saying "Javascript sucks" SA is a case study for how poor management and cultural rot can slowly ruin a community

How is the infrastructure for the forums so hosed that the server clocks are managing to get out of sync

Lowtax has dozens of nerds who will run the forums for him for free, or who will at least run service ntpd restart for him All development on the forums is basically goons making extensions/apps around the horribleness anyway LinYutang fucked around with this message at 11:50 on May 8, 2017 |
