The old forums are still somewhat alive
Posted: 26 Oct 2017, 18:37
By some miracle and almost no sleep, I was able to rebuild all 72 SQL DB entries for the old forum. As such, it actually now works and can be found over at http://legacy.cn-knights.net.
The forum is OFF though so you can only see the front page. If I turn it on, you can log in, post, and read stuff but the formatting is a bit garbled and there's a lot of php script errors all over the place because phpBB 3.0.14 doesn't work with PHP7 which is what we're using with this version.
I will say though that modification and customization of the new forums are much easier than before. 50% less coding time to add something neat like collapsible forum sections, Google translate, or portals.
Anyway, just wanted to let you know that we'll keep the old forums around for posterity and as an archive.
Cheers,
