Whatever website we migrate to, lets ensure we have a SSL certificate so our account information is SAFE.
Let’s Encrypt (https://letsencrypt.org/) is a is a non-profit Certificate Authority sponsored by many big named companies such as: Google, Mozilla, and Facebook. Their mission is to create a more secure and privacy-respecting Web by letting people and organizations around the world obtain, renew, and manage FREE SSL/TLS certificates. This means websites can enable secure (encrypted) HTTPS connections.
However not all web hosts allow Let’s Encrypt support because SSL certificates sales generate a lot of revenue for web hosts.
List of supported web hosts: https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/web-hosting-who-support-lets-encrypt/6920A2Hosting (https://www.a2hosting.com/) is a good and fast (well known + good reviews) web host that offers Let’s Encrypt support. However with the amount of traffic SRK gets, dedicated hosting may be needed. VPS should be the bare minimum however. More research should be done though.
A2 Hosting also supports vanillaforums with plenty of documentation, so doing a MySQL dump of SRK’s databases shouldn’t be too much of a hassle. Yes it will be work to ensure a smooth transition, but it IS POSSIBLE without too much time.

hahaha I was just ribbing ya man, it’s all good. We are all nerds here.
make new board name corny: downrightfierce.com
DRF represent.
Edit: Not gonna lie now, DownRightFierce sounds kinda dope.
If you want to do something similar to the SRK logo where there are arrows in the letters showing the shoryuken command DRF actually works for the hadoken command.
But shin shoryuken also cool.
Hehe I’m liking all the name suggestions.
Anyway, some progress:
User CP is 100% done. Thread view is almost done too – once I finish this the forum is actually usable. I’ll start working on the fancier stuff next (more aesthetic improvements, user styles, etc.)
I’m going to need some beta testers soon!
Discourse, huh?
Are they installing it themselves or still paying for a cloud service?
I researched Discourse when I was looking for new software options. Hope it’s not too new-school for some of you. hehe
Discussion about the next-generation open source Discourse forum software
FuckSmash.com ain’t bad either.
Also props to all the great peeps not giving up and working out a rescue effort. I am keeping the empty cold feeling at bay and retaining hope. Hope is dangerous though
Well, with the recent news

JOKE’S ON YOU I ONLY SPENT 11.99 FOR SRK2.COM.
Seriously I’m still ready to drop at least another couple hundred if the new discourse board blows.
What is discourse ?
Is it better than Vanilla ?

Ugh, i hope is easy parametrizable or has enough pluggins because that layout looks all kinds of terrible.

I know SRK implementation of Vanilla was bad, but based on what I’ve used of it it’s a very nice piece of software.
Discourse is a modern forum that is very light and streamlined. It’s pretty different from traditional forums.

I’m not sure how extendable it is. Basic forum already seems to include like/badge systems. Theming is pretty straightforward but I’m pretty sure most sites will look just like the default. I wouldn’t expect it to be modified much.

The layout is definitely terrible. The avatars also suck ass… but better this than nothing.
Looks like fucking shit
Looks like fucking shit
Don’t worry. I think I’ll continue development anyway. It’s lookin’ pretty fine right now. n_n

Way better.
I’m not gonna lie. I’m extremely attracted to SR$2K or some variation of it. n_n
Yes I’m a dork…
…also my layout is done!
Theme selector is gonna be like a stage select. Pick different stages, get different theme w/background.
Even if I never have to launch this thing now it’s still fun building this. =3
