New thefpl.us should launch before the end of the year. [point to schlong]

Update: The backlog of comments will be purged. I've tried to copy them over, but it's just not gonna work. I think the new commenting system (Disqus, with anonymity options) is a better method than what we're using now, but the system we're currently using (jcomments) is a black box, and genuinely they only want to let you export jcomments into other versions of jcomments. Fuckers. Plus the shit uses mootools.

Anyway, to reiterate, please save any comments you think are too precious to lose, because they'll be going away soon.

In there defense, it has way different connotations in the UK than in the USA. In the UK it's (iirc) a slur against people with motor control issues and it's not unreasonable for someone to be surprised or upset to hear it if they don't know that in the USA it's just a blanket term for "flailing nerd."

I'm personally gonna miss the argument about the legitimacy of creepypasta.

[Frank West]

I'm going to miss that guy who hates me, even though I think I know who it is.

[EYE OF ZA]

Please reconsider using disqus. I like my privacy, so I use ghostery, which blocks disqus. I also like the comments on the site, but not so much that I'm willing to let disqus collect my personal information. Please don't use disqus.

I apreciate your concern, but there's not an option #2. The site has no database, and we need to use something which will allow comments, store them somewhere else, and it's also gotta be our filtering system, because the current F+ site was receiving about 200 junk spammy comments a day at its peak (now it's down to about 12 a day). I need to just hand that commenting system over to something else because nothing else is worth it.

The thing is, Disqus doesn't really have to track your personal information. You can still post anonymously (as a guest - It will ask for your email address, but it won't verify), and that's only data about you it's received.

Rip in peace old comments. We'll never forget all the good times like, uh, that dude who came in to defend Malatora?

"All these...moments...will be lost...like...disqus...in ghostery. Time...to die..." ~The old comment system, 2007-2014

Seriously though, I'll have to scan through the comments when finals are over, see if I can't salvage some gold.

[Ashto]

While there may not be an option to scrape the old comments, what if we got some volunteers to go through and manually archive them with the hopes of reinstating them in the future? I for one could probably get through a few pages worth of comments during downtime at work.

[Mister Smalls]

what would the point of that be

[positive stress]

Losing the old comments is whatever, as long as we save Forthelove's drawings and this.
