Hi all!
I've had a busy Summer (this is mostly a good thing!) and am scrambling to get us game ready. I had been waiting and hoping that Xenforo 2 would be released before the season started, so I've been holding off on major front-end upgrades for that reason, but the back-end is good to go. It may be that I have to migrate the software in-season this year, but that's not the end of the world; it's a pretty seamless process these days (anyone remember when it was a 12-16 hour ordeal because I had to hack back in all of our code modifications by hand?).
I have done a lot of work to limit the number of annoying ads. My hope is that the instances of blaring sound or obnoxious ad behavior is largely behind us (there will always be some bad actors).
Huge thanks and credit to those mods and admins who held the fort down over the Summer, I love this family here.
Elise is doing well, starting preschool THIS WEEK (she's so ready, I am not) and generally being a little bad ass. I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone and seeing how they and their families are.
Let's have a great season! I'm going to get back to kickstarting my behind in gear.
