How are you all doing?

I'm off the next two days, I'm doing just dandy!

We're almost finished with the skin conversion for Revision Reviews: Classic.

I get paid this Thursday and I'm always looking forward to payday!

Good evening everyone.

Morning everyone. I’ve been on the edge of getting sick the last few days, but this morning I think it’s really breaking through.

Heaven help me, I’m actually considering spinning up a new forum, and not a weird RP one (it’s been a while…)

It's about time. Love that feeling. What's it about?

It’s overdue in some respects. It’s still a lot fuzzy in my head as I think about the different elements I want to bring into it (or not, I have very extensive notes but some are less relevant than others now), but it’s about writing. I’m thinking about resources for writers, reviews/comparisons of writing software (there’s quite a lot out there in fact)

I am of course thinking about all my tech choices - I have licences for XF and IPS I could use for this without any trouble but I am of course trying to weigh up if I need to bring in AMS or something else if I go XF.

Trying to not get bogged down in the technical fluff though. There’s plenty of other things to do in content first, and I’m in that period where I’m full of ideas but it’s not clear which of them will survive or become something else.

IPS is promising, and I think for a project like yours, probably the better choice. Especially with the customization possible. Pages also look very good and with some knowledge, able to turn in something absolutely satisfying. But the code in XenForo is easier. Well, that's my opinion/experience of course.

I've been doing a project on IPS, but I'm not sure if it will see daylight. It's adult themed and I'm not sure if I want to proceed with it.

You stop getting sick, Mr!

My mother and father are about to see a Cyndi Lauper concert.

I thought it was an interesting concept but I could see it needing careful moderation.

I’m not above writing my own plugins for either platform (not like this is particularly hard in the scheme of things) but there’s a lot of questions about how much forum and how much non-forum this project turns out to be and how much I care about the article experience over other things.

I have some ideas for features that give me an edge which will need custom dev in any circumstance (and incidentally some of those features could have been made into unexpected.ly’s original purpose, but would sit better part of something more cohesive)

Tonight is going to be fun, a 700+ piece truck with one less person than usual. Usually, the truck is 500 - 600 pieces.
