Anyone Still Here: Redux

[UncleJoseph]

I drive by from time to time. Hope we get some more activity someday.

It doesn't seem like it, does it?

[ak404]

That's what happens when you try to stay away from most forms of social media.

[Bishop]

It gives me the SADS.

Ironically, a year of plague would have been a very reasonable period to have something like Bulldrek to fill the time, but alas it was rather badly broken at the time. Control seems to have sorted all that, though.

[Bishop]

Thanks, Control. Had to redo the whole thing?

The plan for years had been to just hold it exactly how it was, but holy shit spam control was a real problem, and security became an increasing issue. I looked at making it a static archive, but that comes with a huge variety of challenges all its own.

Fortunately, there was still an upgrade path from 2.x to 3.x, so at some point it makes more sense to put a new engine in rather than just keep dusting and grinding out the rust. Whatever the current public opinion about Bulldrek, it means that we all have a home no matter what else happens.

[Bishop]

I like new engines. Like having a home, too.
