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.

This is legally murky as the code is still based on vbulletin 2. While large parts of it have been replaced, some of the code is very much still owned by jelsoft, and I cannot release that. I don't know to what extent they are litigious but I gotta cover our collective asses here. This isn't the only barrier but it's a big one. Working towards getting more of the forums code out is definitely in my long term vision for this place, but it's not going to happen tomorrow, or this year.

The javascript and css can and will be open at least. It's theoretically accessible now though I don't think we've put out any documentation for it.

Jelsoft appears to be property of million-pound-gorilla KKR Private Equity by way of having been rolled into the successor company of https://www.carsdirect.com

so, no, do not cross them.

Something I have seen in other forums in 2001 is automatically replacing some words for other word in html. Like the forum could replace every instance of rear end for butt in bold with pink letters.

This way SA can be a proper christian forum.

The forums seriously has needed a little icon that pops up in the corner whenever you’re quoted that will bring you to the quoted post. That will spur a lot of engagement, which means more active and retained users, which means traffic, which means more revenue for the servers and stuff. Why not done???

The posting gloryhole should track emptyquotes
