Meta: Drupal 6 End of Life
Drupal 6, the content management system and version MGoBlog runs, has reached its end of life. No more support for bug fixes or security patches [LINK]. Beside the inevitable hacking of everyone's social security number, credit card information and first-of-kin PII, I take this to be a harbinger of good things. Need is the mother of web-development progress and we're now much closer to getting a new MGoBlog.

I knew a girl in college who had that nickname.

Time for a responsive theme built on WordPress / bbPress.

You know I want me some aspNET - it's not convoluted and terrible at all. Nope.

Let's just code it by hand. I'll bring Notepad.exe and 56k modem, you bring the Mountain Dew.

I just got asked to do an SEO quote for a client whose website "wasn't coming up in google at all". I checked a couple of engines, and they were correct. It didn't exist in search.
domain.com/robots.txt > User-Agent: * Disallow: /
I'm thinking about suggesting this job will take at least 80 hours to clean up and get them ranked, and then "working from home so there's no distractions" while I "fix it".

Don't forget the rush rate. They need to appear in the results ASAP, so you will need to charge them the rush rate to move this to your top priority.
February 25th, 2016 at 1:32 PM ^
All of my site crawls are being rejected by the disallow, so I can't even run a standard auditor. Yeesh!
February 25th, 2016 at 1:18 PM ^
I don't think Notepad.exe and 56k overlapped; you need to load up Edlin from your external cassette drive.

Notepad debuted in 1985. 56k in 1997.

That $100k license makes it easier to swallow too or maybe that was Sitefinity. Either way, its the same tire fire to me.

Hopefully, they'll just go straight to Drupal 8.
February 25th, 2016 at 11:43 AM ^
Yeah, someone has been working on a change for the past month or so.
February 25th, 2016 at 12:00 PM ^
He was looking for a contractor to help with migrating the site to Drupal 8:

February 25th, 2016 at 11:45 AM ^
that the general layout of mgoblog doesn't change. I don't like the stupid hipster-y .io web sites that flash their HTML5 and CSS3. I like how mgoblog is structured, God knows i don't want it looking like eleven warriors or the like.

I'd sure like to have threads on MGoBoard stay on the front page based on activity and on not date of creation. Often lively conversation dies because the thread is not visible unless you choose to open it in another browser window and then, activity is virtually gone.
It would also be nice to have embedding, highlighting of quotes, spell check, and other features native to most blog sites included in the next upgrade.

I'd like to know when someone replies to my comment. I don't need an email but some sort of notification while I'm logged into the site would be helpful.

OP, fantastic gif links in your signature line (particularly man ball). That is all.
February 25th, 2016 at 3:06 PM ^
I tried to have a GIF of Harden elbowing him in the face but only two image links are allowed in the signature line. Hopefully a critical shortcoming to be addressed with the new MGoBlog.

Please, please, pretty please:
1. Ability to get to page two and beyond of message board without Jackie Chan Web-fu.
2. Ability to embed media without getting help from Jackie Chan getting help from the (not sad) Ghost of Steve Jobs.
3. Links to my posts that actually go to my posts instead of the approximate location on the page where my post was before 1200 other posts got interspersed. As-is, I have about as much chance to find my posts as an average linebacker had of tackling Barry Sanders.
February 25th, 2016 at 12:49 PM ^
There's a page 2?
February 25th, 2016 at 1:05 PM ^
picturing Jackie Chan trying to tackle Barry Sanders...
