Ok, so, we're going to be getting the server for two years. We may have to renew this server at a shitty rate for one more month, so if someone wants to donate (or multiple people) up to $120, that would be amazing. Otherwise, I'll cover it, whatever.
We MAY be upgrading Simple Machines. This could be a train wreck and the reason this shit takes a month. This would result in an ugly as fuck theme for a bit. Speak now about not wanting that or forever hold your piece. Amen. #firstworldproblems

Pros and Cons to the upgrade? My only desire is a more mobile-friendly option, otherwise everything here works fine and change is bad, get off my lawn, etc.

Users love it. I know nothing about the backend. I use it for a handful of forums. It's... usable.

What Trippy said. I want a site that looks less annoying on my cellphone, not a stupid app I'll just refuse to download.

Fine, we won't have Tapatalk. I don't actually care about it.

Error 404: Title not found.

I don't access this enough on my phone to care, but if it fucked up my browsing at home and work (the majority of where I waste my time here) I'd be pissed off.

It wouldn't fuck it up, you would just have a Not Exactly The Same Skin as we currently have until I adapted these graphics to that version of the forum.

Server has been bought. Phase 1 begins now.
What is Phase 1? The phase before Phase 2: The Second Phase, Return of the Phase.

We are now considering switching to different forum software. For the first time since uh, time began here. We've been on SMF since day 1. So this will be fun.
That said, merge tools exist for both of the options we're looking at so it should be awkward but painless.

If you could get vanilla with a theme like this and expand-to-window-width I'd be fine with that. If it's going to be a fixed width affair I will be sad.

How much do I need to donate to have Trippy write a script that deletes every post I ever made in Politics?

We're approaching donation season again folks. Last time we got two years out of the way. Can we do it again? Will make a thread in a week or so.

I'm tempted to see if I can swing donating enough to get a title, just to see what I'd end up with. "Most Invisible Poster"?
So tempting...

I paid for the self-grief title in the previous drive and never thought of anything good. |

And f13 is still ready to accept your money again and give you a grief title when you come up with it.

Damn, you're making him pay for a grief title again? Nothing for something, indeed. |

I so badly wish we could do badges. Would have to migrate I think to SMF 2.x and I don't know what that would do to the forums.

I feel like I'd be more sitting in a chair after having lit a cigarette with the flames, amusing myself by singing Rocket Man.
But yea, it wouldn't be good for the forums.

Maybe we could bring back animated sigs, instead. I miss mine. We could give badges for the most annoying ones.
