Status on Tasks from Update Thread, Fundraising, and Thank Yous

[TitansGuru]

Updates from the to-do tasks from the main thread (Strike-through text denotes task has been completed.):

• Restore speed and stability
• Move back off of Cloudflare
• Purchase DDoS protection from someone like Sucuri. I'm open to suggestions.
  Currently trying to fund this, but I will do something about it regardless of whether or not it gets funded
• Recreate old caching rules (for Litespeed server)
• Audit of everything on the server and all processes to see if there are anymore potential offenders 
• Change the behavior of clicking on a thread title to go to the first unread post. 
• Modify the reactions/likes  to be more reflective of the forum's culture. 
• Work on the mobile version to improve the experience and appearance there.
• Visual improvement and polishing of the website throughout.
• Bringing some of the new features out. 
  Will do this over the coming weeks to allow for documentation and evaluation to improve adoption.

 

Other notes:

• Visual improvements/polishing have happened in large part but it will be an ongoing process.
• Podcast feed has been restored. It was unintentionally down.
• I have also added a Paypal option for donations in addition to the Patreon option.
• Of course, I am open to any suggestions that you think might improve this place. Shoot them to me privately or on here.

This thread isn't about me, bro. I always appreciate the sentiment, though.

 

Oh, I messaged the guy about the fake betting app again this morning.

Does the 61% of goal mean 61% to $527 or to the first goal of $240? Sent in $25 just to pitch in a bit.

Now is a good time as ever to point out that donations help pay for upgrades that come with new features.

 

New features such as the WTF  and Bird  reactions for people like...Jamal.

 

 

 I kid. I kid.

I really appreciate it, man. It means 61% to the $527. If we hit that I will start one for the next goal.

One thing I knew but keep forgetting to point out for people who aren't aware. If you ever paste an image and it is too big, hold down CTRL and right click the image. It causes a box to pop up that lets you edit the image.

Hope that helps.
