And you guys thought this blog would never get updated…

Well to recap what’s happened since April(!), we launched the new forum without too terribly much of a hitch. There’s been a few hiccups along the way, things not working after caching issues, Passenger issues (which, thankfully, have been fixed with the later versions), Textile issues, logins ’sticking’ instead of forcing people to logout, and login issues with the main site. While my list shrinks, there’s still more to do!

After the jump, I explain the upcoming future for the main site.

The main site’s going to get an evolution. (Perhaps, as one might say, a Pokévolution.) Reid’s busy with like a billion other things. In addition to some of the awesome stuff he’s going to debut real soon, he’s still doing some freelance stuff to eat. (Ruby needs food too!) So the new *layout* might not happen in awhile. Instead I’m going to ninja-move the main site.

One day, the main site’s going to run on the new code in the background, but it’ll still look the same. Not only will I not bug Reid with “GIMME CSS NOW! GIMME CSS NOW! GIMME CSS NOW!”, it’ll provide a nice foundation for him to work on. You guys will benefit from having a real search engine on the site’s submissions as well as other fancy toys that are being planned?

So what can you do now? The best thing you can do is continue to find bugs on the forum. I still keep an eye out on the Bugs and Features forum. Even if I don’t get to you, the bug will still be on my list of things to do. You may have to fight me for some features since I really don’t like add special preferences that only two people will use, or added random links that significantly clutter the page. I’m trying to keep things clean and simple. (It doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t fight though! Keep up the good fight and stuff!)

Hopefully I’ll update the blog more often.
