Uh, after a bit of deep code diving, tons of trial-and-error, and countless pack of cigarettes, I finally got past the problem of not being able to upgrade the forum script. So this is just a notice to all members that Open Tech Support will be down temporarily on Wednesday, April 16, for the much needed, much hyped, and MUCH DELAYED site upgrade I mentioned about, oh, more than two years ago
The skinny? Forum script upgrade is pretty much the main gist of the update. This will also update the front page script, as well.
Since this is a complete overhaul of the script, there are a ton of things that'll disappear, some permanently. For starters, the gallery, journal, arcade, reviews, and downloads section are pretty much history. I "might" be able to rebuild the gallery, reviews and downloads section (and that's a BIG might)... but judging from the overall usefulness of these sections (or the lack thereof), I'm sure not many people are gonna miss them anyway...
Another possible big question: new layout? Maybe, maybe not... really depends... but anyway, this is just a heads up for those of you who still visit the site - and read the updates subforum
After I finish the update, I'm gonna have to show my flaky face in here regularly again... I missed you guys
