Hey, Lowtax. I didn't even notice those ads, and I can't complain about this, but I'll mention the whole unpaid front page articles thing. Why not pay for all published articles, just pay less for the first 5-8 or so (e.g., 20 instead of the full 40)? This would cost you just as much as not paying for the first 'trial' month at all, but will guarantee that people are actually paid for all published articles. It's a good compromise, imo. Maths! Hope that makes sense.

The ad code manager for some reason copied over some jabbascript on an inactive test ad thingy and started showing awful bottom ads to every user, despite userclass. I have no idea why it selectively chose and copied that code, but hey, this is Something Awful. My apologies!!!

Not to get off topic here, but what features do you want or need that we currently lack here? The ad manager thing is a completely separate coded entity, and I just hosed it up probably. Honestly asking: compared to other forums, what essential features are ours missing?

Mandatory 2FA to make every post.


For real tho about the front page stuff are you going through that by your lonesome? That's gotta be chewing tons of time going through what I can only assume is tons of pure quality and super serious submissions... do you have some proofreaders giving you a hand to free you up for other crap to tackle?

I doubt it is any one feature so much as any time a feature is asked for, the response is that its an impossibility because of the code. So we’d like a forum that can be easily customized without having to download browser extensions or 3rd party apps.
