Disconnecting the main site and forum
Posted on June 23, 2013 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Site updates
Well, it looks like the time has come… and sooner than I originally anticipated. I think it’s time to disconnect the forum and main site. Some important aspects can’t be fixed until that connection is broken, so now’s as good a time as any!
The forum’s news sub-board will still exist. When everything is finished, I’m considering opening it fully so that anyone can post a topic. If it becomes superfluous or you guys think it’s silly, I’ll remove it.
No exact timetable for the disconnect since I have a lot of items to take care of beforehand, but I wanted to give everyone a heads up as to what our plans are. What we’ll likely end up doing is implementing Disqus for comments going forward. It works well enough on GE, and a lot of people already have accounts since it’s a widely-used comments system.
Thoughts, complaints, or anything else? Post in the comments, forum, or send us an email!
