LEARN TO READ, WAB

Whatup. I missed everyone that doesn't like the way the other forum runs so I made this one. Rest of y'all should make some fresh meat topics to reintroduce yourselves, especially those that have been away a while. I love you all. What's new with me in the last little while? Got married to Jovanna. She's awesome. A hell of a lot more relaxed than my ex and also a professional event planner (going on vacations with her is fucking awesome). I visited Europe on the honeymoon. Got to meet a bunch of the Londish there. Basically one of my lifelong dreams (not being sarcastic) along with you know, actually seeing Europe. I just had a babbo. Her name is Luna. We somewhat named her after Luna Lovegood but I also got her a stuffed Luna cat from Sailor Moon. It's awesome and she's awesome. I'm on leave for 4 months from work. Going back May 20th. Seems like I'd have a lot of free time but I do not. If the baby is awake, she requires constant attention. So yeah hi.

Update: Thanks @Anelle for finally helping this end! Oh also @Garlic Junior do please stick around and help mod. Truth be told I don't think I'm going to quite have the same "cut it off" sensibilities than y'all do so I want to put others in charge of enforcing. That said, yeah, I think it will probably be fine all on its own.

If we're gonna do it you think we can just do a topic or two and just keep it there? I think people would rather it not branch out into every topic.

Also, one of my favorite scenes :

Out of habit? Because some folks still think it’s fun / interesting / etc.? I’m not super hyped about it either, but no need to be a wet blanket.

Worked my last shift yesterday. Was pretty chill. Spent three hours deleting emails and scrubbing my name from everything I've created for past few years, went to my empty ass office to hand back my laptop etc. One of my boss's was there (we need 24/7 emergency coverage) and he had his new puppy with him, so got to finally meet the pupster, got the pleasure of literally dumping my equipment outside my office, and he had left me a bottle of rum and a nice card outside too. This was at like lunchtime too was I fuck doing a full shift my last day. Got notification that my education money got approved, getting my final pay in three weeks and then I can make my proper 3 year budget but I think, if my rough calculation is correct, I'll actually have enough to finance myself for an extra six months after my education. If I can get a decent part time job I might actually look into doing a post graduate year. Super happy today

Like I did on the Center, I'll come here to tell you all the cool things I've done/changed around officially. Created widgets for Top Posters and Top Forums (like the days of old) for the portal. Took me a while because I had to learn this shit from scratch. Created a widget called Quick Links for the portal with links to various places our members are part of. I will keep updating it with things anyone wants to add. Let me know. Fixed the fancy URLs after I broke it. Your bookmarks should be working again. Woops. I've changed the text color selector to the old color wheel but the catch is...the current one is cached in your browser and you'll have to clear the cache to see it. I tried like hell to figure out how the fuck to version it but it is SO ingrained in the board that you're just gonna have to do that. IF you're not sure how to do that, google it. I am going to keep trying to figure out how to do that so it updates for everyone. Set the name switching to 1 time every 60 days. If you derp, PM me and I'll fix it but for the most part, let's keep it reasonable. I hate when people change names. On that note, there are lots of new profile fields now. USE THE ALIAS FIELD. Some of us don't know what your new names are. I've also added lots of gaming and chat related profile fields as well. Go nuts. I've now created lots of plugins to take care of all the little edits to this and that old thing. This should, again, make it easier for me to keep the board updated. Next test I'll be doing is an upgrade to 4.4 as we're on the newest 4.3.x line right now. I fully expect shit to break. Created several posting ranks for various post counts. We can make a fun topic to choose them all from here though. I'm not attached to it. I have re-created the Serious Business skin for this board. I've also made several small edits to make things look right (like getting rid of the circle avatars everywhere and adding borders where needed). Created Vote and Intensify buttons for the editor. I'm still working on making vote work the way it did in the old days. Will update as we go. If anyone has feelings on what buttons are available on the editor at various screen sizes, let me know. I can add buttons to the mobile view if you want them. I tried to keep it relatively simple for now. That should cover most noticeable things I've done since the forum opened. I've got a few things to tweak and I'll update again when I finish things.
