I have holiday stuff next week BUT with the weekend and then me also being off work the week of the new year for the most part, I can definitely see this getting to a state where we can make the alpha test live in January.

We'll see.

Yeah probably haha. I know my timeline claims have been completely off by like... a year, but it's in a pretty decent spot right now.

Oh wow, this all looks great. Might bring me back around

Alerts are working on the server side for replies. I have it kinda like Reddit too (in addition to replies), where the back end will scan posts for up to 3 tags like: u/cheat. Posts will auto link to profiles AND sends a notification to that user.

Alerts are done on the mobile side. I'm gonna post a video in the discord of it in action. The stuff I need to finish is embedding the component on desktop and also I need to make the post preview component that the alert routes to on click (right now if I would click on a notification it would 404 cuz I don't have that page / route setup on a component).

Alerts are done 100%.

I also got board / thread settings at least mostly in place. The only things really missing from the forum stuff that is critical are a report system and a few moderation tools (delete thread, moderate user, etc.) as well as profile pages for navigating to something like u/cheat.

I mentioned this but you can tag people in posts:

Once I get the above stuff done I'm going to push through the alpha. PMs / groups will be done post-launch.

Report system is done!

Any Ninja / user with moderation privileges on the board the post exists in will get an alert. Any mod can then close the report or take action on the post (both of which close the report).

Thread tools are mostly done! I just need to add the option to delete threads for mods. For users: I'm introducing a new mechanic. You will be able to disavow a thread in order to basically scrub it from your account. I was having trouble figuring out what was fair (because I want users to have 100% control over if their content exists on the site), and letting users delete their thread would let them basically delete other users' posts.

With disavow: the thread owner changes from you to ... nobody. It belongs to user 0 (deleted / anonymous). It also deletes your OP. This keeps all other posts in the thread; the OP just gets nuked.

What style for staff do you like more btw? The first is the current implementation and the second is based off the OG / 2.0 colors.

We're so fucking back

Bans are working.

At this point... I just need to make user profile pages (they will be suuuuper basic at launch and just something so the page doesn't 404) and setup some sort of homepage and we should be good to launch.

Cheat · January 11, 2025, 04:42:24 PM

Alpha time, baby. Tomorrow.

Busta Nut · January 12, 2025, 12:06:43 PM

Glad I checked my email when I did. Probably one of the first to join, too.

Hey uh

What happens to this old place when the Alpha becomes Beta and officially 3.0?

Shutdown? Will the domain change or will both take you to the current septagon.net?

Not asking for archive reasons but wondering in general.

Once we are either out of beta or suuuuper close to being stable, I will make this forum read-only and then attempt to get the wayback machine to archive everything.

Eventually this site will close and the domain will redirect to the new site. The server for this environment is actually SUPER expensive compared to the decentralized setup I have for 3.0.
