Meta: Site Relaunch Date?
Just wondering if there was any update on HUEL's progress with the site relaunch and beta testing. I remember a post saying that there were some unforeseen timeline difficulties. Not trying to be snarky at all here, just curious and excited for MGoBlog 3.0!
Edited title to include question mark and calm WD's shit

Talk about a cock tease. I thought this was some kind of news on the release date.

Worse than poking a Rutgers fan

Are making me thirsty!

Just watched this very episode last night.
September 6th, 2017 at 10:41 AM ^
Cool!

Seinfeld is on all the time. At least two channels

These pretzels... are making me THIRSTY.

No, see that's no good. You don't know how to act.
September 6th, 2017 at 10:35 AM ^
Boo this man.
September 6th, 2017 at 11:58 AM ^
They are actually saying Boo-urns!

Every time someone complains about the site or the app a puppy dies. This is far and away the best Michigan sports content available and it's free! Say thank you and stfu or donate.

This isn't a complaint. I tried to make that clear in the OP. Just curiosity. Excited for the relaunch, as it's been extensively previewed.
September 6th, 2017 at 10:53 AM ^
Wait, are you killing a puppy each time? Because I've been killing a puppy each time someone complains, and I really didn't intend for two puppies to die each time there's a complaint. We really need to coordinate this better.
September 6th, 2017 at 11:08 AM ^
And I have been killing kittens this whole time. Oops.

target the Bye week (if things are ready in time) to minimize the risk in-season.
At least that is what I would do if I were Brian/Ace/Seth.

Might want to add a question mark to the end of your thread title as your current title indicates a statement and not an inquiry.
September 6th, 2017 at 10:46 AM ^
either that or start looking up flights to Bolivia

to make any major site changes. Wtf are we all going to do if it goes wrong? M-Live comment section?
September 6th, 2017 at 12:03 PM ^
Of course, that's what has been said for a couple offseasons now, so with everything and everyone that is apparently now on board with this, hopefully it comes in this offseason at the latest if not sooner. I will say, however, that I am at a point where I am just going to try to be pleasantly surprised when / if it happens and free my thinking of a solid timeline. My main concern is what the administrative functions (which let me do what I do) will look like.
September 6th, 2017 at 11:02 AM ^
Wait, you think the redesign was an actual thing? Man you are stupid. Maybe you just haven't been around long enough to get the jokes.

As someone who does consulting for software implementations for a living, I can say that schedule delays often come up for a whole host of reasons. Based on the latest update that Seth provided, it sounds like they encountered some unforeseen obstacles and had to adjust their timeline. I am sure that the schedule is very visible to everyone involved in the project work, but it makes sense that they wouldn't share it with the masses.
The best we can do is trust that they are taking their time to release a solid product, rather than rush a subpar solution to Production. I am sure the craziness of the season adds a layer of complexity to everything as well.
September 6th, 2017 at 11:08 AM ^
We slowed down the whole process because the season started. We're aiming for beta in a few weeks and a bye week release. We've switched from all-hands-on-deck pushing it out to a few key people solving one issue at a time.
The two biggies right now are moving the server to Nexcess, which we did, and moving the Podcasts to Podbean, which is this week's project. The former should have this site WAY more stable and working faster. The latter is the reason for the remaining slowdowns and getting those files off our server should dramatically pick up the speed of the site on days podcasts run.
September 6th, 2017 at 11:13 AM ^
Thanks for the update, Seth! Really looking forward to seeing the finished product.
September 6th, 2017 at 1:56 PM ^
Funny you are using podbean as I had to download podcast addict specifically because I couldn't find mgoblog on the podbean search function.
September 6th, 2017 at 2:17 PM ^
Any chance at a new app whenever the Site is relaunched?
September 6th, 2017 at 12:21 PM ^
HUEL, you say?
HELL YEAH.
September 6th, 2017 at 10:48 PM ^
Just pretend you never heard about this, then when it actually happens (if it does) you will be very happily suprised!
