Boards having some problems with their migration. Down for 3 days now (instead of the expected half day) with another day to go still at least.

Are they changing software does anyone know? I assume they’re going to Xenforo or something. They’ll surely stick with 19th century pagination.

Pagination is still a sore spot. Don’t you be opening it up again. The glory days of tfk

Do people still use pagination?
Do they send the posts by fax and then someone scans them online ?

The lads on the other side of the Atlantic will have to wait for the lads on the other side of the Pacific to see what fucked up.

It’s really strange that they can’t keep the old site open during a migration. They’ll have taken a copy of the old data to migrate so they should be able to just keep going then and do a catch up migration after.

But seems like they’re not really in control of their own destiny anymore.
