[OLD] RR v5! Board Upgrade Incoming! - Grim - 09-03-2014
Our forum software has just released a major new version, which basically gives me a perfect segue into a major revamp/cleanup of this place. Over the past couple of years I've noticed a lot of accumulated creaking and groaning on the dark corners of the entire site, and this is an opportunity for a fresh start again.
Also, it's perfect timing, since we're seeing a rash of inactivity anyway, this is the time to upgrade and break stuff without affecting anyone much. At best, the upgrade/cleanup process will be quick and you won't even know it happened. At worst, you'll still be able to use the board but some functions won't work. Even so, I think it'll be fine.
Expect it to happen sometime over the next two weeks. When it does, immediately the following stuff will be on the docket:
- Updated forum skins. RavenTwilight and Old School are going first of course, and honest-to-God, they will be followed by something new. At last.
- Use of ads. Don't worry, it won't be much or overly intrusive, but I'll put it there to help with the income stream a little.
- General cleanup/update of subsites. Some of the stuff hasn't been used nor visited in ages. There's nothing wrong with that, but I'll consider removing some of the stuff if there's really no use for it. For the others, I'll just keep updating the versions so it's still there if someone wants to use it.
- A working chat module. One that doesn't break after a week. Come back guys, and get off Skype!
- I'm thinking of bringing these things back in one shape or form. You know, for the lulz.
As always, your suggestions/comments for our virtual home/crack den are welcome. I know by now must of us are old enough now to not really care about any of this stuff anymore (LOL don't worry, I know it's true), but that won't stop me from doing it.

I've been using this Raven Twilight ver.3 since 2008 at the very least.

Oo wag haha. Failed experiment yung mga yun. Except yung Old School. Basically kinopya ko lang yung default look dati ni RR, nung cjb.net days pa (those were some days).

Congrats and good luck on the upgrades!
Hopefully nothing breaks, cause holy shit. Nothing ruins a day faster.

That's where most of RR's hang out, at least for now.
