I didn't have any time this weekend and I don't usually get much time during the week so it will be a bit.
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

I started a branch for migrating to the pdo mysql driver. There are two reasons for doing this. One is that it will close a security vulnerability and two is that the current mysql driver was removed from PHP 7 so we can't upgrade with the old driver. Then I can work on removing another vulnerability and fixing registration and logout.
When I get further along, I can set up a staging board for doing some testing.
I'd be more specific out the vulnerability, but I don't feel comfortable explaining how to attack the site in public.

Is that the mysqli vs. mysql thing?

Sort of. There are three PHP mysql drivers. The old mysqld which was removed from PHP 7.0. Mysqli and the PDO Mysql. The PDO driver is pretty much the standard one nowadays.

Got it. I thought this article explains well the work involved.

Yep. That's what I've started doing. I'm also moving all the database interaction into a set of database access objects so it won't be mixed in with the rest of the code.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Yeah, good choice, even if we hadn't needed to update drivers.
