Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

Sorry for leaping in here unannounced but I have a theoretical question.

Another board I frequent is soon-to-be homeless, as in, the software they were using is no longer going to be free any more.

What is the Buffista policy on use of their board software by others? (Provided financial renumeration can be agreed of course). Is it something that's ever come up before? Would The Powers That Be even consider it?

This is actually a couple of pretty neat ex-TT communities (one frequented by Buffistas like myself, Angus, mark, Jim etc.) who would like to continue in some form, so I just thought I'd throw the question out here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Right now the board code is like a slightly messy house. There are at least two outstanding (non-critical, but should still be addresses) bugs for which I can point to the code that needs to be fixed. I just haven't.

Also, all the admin pages are not spiffed up to the level of the pages you guys see. So there's that.

I'm just way behind on coding stuff. My brain is so not there. Hell, I recoded a large part of the board about a year ago, and haven't had the oomph to fix that one IE issue and roll it into production (although I've been running on that code the whole time. Just not using IE).

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I just got a fatal error. I copied it to bring it over here and then lost it again. I was posting in Bitches at the time.

With Steve.

On the moon.

There has been an error. It's of the type we call fatal. Please don't be scared. You're not the one that's going to die.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Quit touching stuff!

God damn that error. I just can't replicate the steps that lead up to it. The details it gives should be impossible. Let me dedicate some of next week to more rigourous error-checking.

Hey!

This is why we can't have nice things.
