Can you clarify? I can't find a dalecosp on StackOverflow 😢

    Only other tech forum I spend any time at is Webdeveloper.com -- which is a sister site which is also being transferred to the same new owners. I'm on KBoards.com with the same handle, though I don't spend a lot of time there any more as it's been (figuratively) taken over by e-book authors instead of e-book readers. I keep thinking about starting up a reading forum some day, with the goal of keeping it reader-centric, but, well, life. ¯_(&#12484😉_/¯

    OK I'm a member of Webdeveloper forum too and I see you over there too -- although it's quite a mess as well. This kind of consolidation is unsettling and I'm still fairly alarmed that forums like this are going away. Should we become friends on gasp social media or something?

      My Twitter handle is public, so @CWReaceJr if anyone cares. 🙂

            Well, we got something shiny & new, at least. Will take some getting used to after two decades of vBulletin 😃

              Maybe we should skin this to look EXACTLY like the previous version...haha... Ummm, no.

                What forum software is this, I've never seen it before?

                  Too much whitespace IMHO. No visual delineation of topics either, from what I can see. I.e., it's hard to see which sub-forum a question belongs to. Also seems to invite random and unrelated commentary.

                    I also find it visually nice but confusing. At least it works though!

                    I'm started to get it figured out. Main thing I see is that it's not full-featured compared to the vB software. Whether or not we really ''needed'' all that functionality is something else, I guess ...

                      To mirror NogDog's sentiment... I can be found on Twitter @irish1381, SO or css-tricks.com. Though, I enjoy this community of regulars. You all have been great help and teachers. Hope to see this site continue.

                      Isn't the real money on clandestine meeting places in the case of an apocalypse on Paraguay? Or, was it Uruguay? One of those...who's in?!

                        I am also at Webdeveloper.com as far as i know they have adopted the same forum look so i guess you guys need a third backup location. I like this, i dont prefer it over v bulletin, but i think in terms of keeping the forum looking more up to date and a user experience akin to that of social media ( UUUGGHH dont shoot me please ) may keep some members around and prevent some of the general dying of forums.

                        This new forum has killed it for me. I dont come here anymore.

                          Ya... Every time my wife gets a drastic haircut I divorce her even though everything else about her is the same.
