and the conversion will be completed, not get stuck somewhere in the middle. I hope people spend the important time with tweaking the details. I know that making huge relaunch is always more fun than the 80% of the remaining boring part of making result polished and perfect.
My patience is thin. What are you talking about? All this was done a year ago. It's been on the test server all that time. You do know that I do this shit professionally, right?
First of all, a while back, JK just straight up deleted over a year's worth of professional redesign that was done to the site, forums and wiki, and that shit looked GOOD too. But JK just deleted it off of the test server, because fuck you that's why. I should have told abma to go pound sand when he asked me to move it over to the spring test server, but I did so in good faith, and a year's worth of hard work went up in smoke because <strings of expletives>. Abma also bears some of the responsibility because he refused to keep the wp db separate from all the other databases (Which would have prevented 99% of the issue). I tried to explain why putting all your eggs into one basket was a bad idea, but over the course of a month he refused to be persuaded. I have no wish to publicly excoriate Abma, because he honestly didn't know any better and thought he was doing what was right. Who could have foreseen someone having such blatant disregard for everyone else.
But oh, thanks to JK we got ugly as fuck red title bars, so that was totally worth deleting everything we were working on.
No one fucks with the front page because everyone here is terrified of FOSS like wordpress, which nearly every new professional site is built upon because it beats the brakes of of anything even remotely similar. Ain't no one trying to do this shit manually.
I even have a framework that would allow me to redo the site in mere minutes. Ain't nobody (professional) tryna fuck with doing this shit manually, fuck that.
There are multiple professional web developers here (Myself, AF, etc), but the people who don't know horseshit from peanut butter are the ones that tell everyone how shit is supposed to be.
Forb! I hope this is not one of your hurray-missions
And what exactly the hell is this supposed to mean anyway?
EDIT: This is where I think ZK's site shines. There is complete integration between "site", "forum" and "wiki", so much that it might as well just be one entity.
The ZK site is a fucking travesty.
