i like the changes but i have one issue to report, it seems there has been a mistake and someone forgot to make me a mod, can one of the admins look into that please? TIA

I agree, someone should mod Nooner, and also make some donations to Nooner's patreon.

Why a patreon instead of something on forum? IDK how big their cut is but they’re also made to charge VAT in the uk for some stupid reason.

Everyone, thank you again for bearing with us during the various site maintenances of the last week or so. You might not be surprised to learn that there were some missing pieces in SA's infrastructure. Perhaps most appallingly among those, there had not been a database replica server running for several years. Further, if the site had a backup process in place before, it must have lived on that missing replica; there did not seem to be anything configured. You read that correctly—for many years, these forums were one malformed shell command, bad SQL query, or hardware failure away from vanishing in a puff of magic smoke.

loving lmao

Thanks for your work to make this site better

Thanks so much for the enhancements!

Just a minor nitpick regarding the announcement for server moving on April 25 2021: CDT is GMT -5, not GMT -6.

Dark mode looks very nice. Would rather have some elements be ever so slightly darker, but it's nice.

Dark Mode's pretty nice, but I'm not too sure on the text hue. I think maybe it could stand to be a few shades brighter, as it's offsetting blue and gray doesn't contrast as cleanly imo.

I do miss the satisfying yellow goodness of being quoted. Fortunately I don't get quoted often so I won't have to miss it too much. Worth it

It'd be good to get some fresh Goons on the forums, if there's any budget for getting the word out about SA. Even the internet young uns would surely appreciate SA's unique environment.

Also, great job on saving the site.

Doesn't SA already do this though (or farm it out to whoever)? Oh, I guess it's different if you're charging every month, I seee

still bitter about patreon VAT. where's the value added?!?!?! (PCI compliance apparently)

Thanks for the info Jeffrey!

And thanks for fixing up all the horrifying database things astral :gonk:

I'm very interested to see what happens when the front page gets up and running again. Maybe this place will actually attract new membership? Wouldn't that be something awful :v:.

Dark mode feedback:

Its good, probably needs a little more delineation between posts (possibly the two background colors are too similar).
