Hey nobody!
Yeah, this forum never really came to light, sadly.
The intent was to heavily integrate it with the Minecraft server, but I didn't end up sticking to that project for very long, it just wasn't all that fun in the end.
So this forum has had zero active users in its lifetime, and with Discord being as big as it is Forums are pretty much dying, and nearly impossible to grow today.
I could try and promote it, but in the end, I prefer to spend time on my new blog https://blog.chrispro.live which people seem to be loving!
I think the site turned out well and how I wanted it to, the automatic YouTube video posting makes a cool front page.
The site is effectively in read-only mode now, new members all need approval from me, so if you want to join idk message me on Discord or something.
I fully expect that this page will at some point get hacked, defaced, maybe people will even find a way into my web server and hit my other sites.
But I'm not giving Xenforo more money for a dead page, so there's no more support and security updates for me, and I'm not doing maintenance here.
A hack will at least make for a good blog post, once I remediate and restore from backups.
Yes, I know I'm not being very clever by running outdated forum software, I'm accepting the risk, because I'm lazy.
I might remove some of the forum sections, make the page super simple, idk, cba really.
There's some content here that I posted to preserve for myself, but I've got other places for that now.
This domain might become something else at some point, or it might not.
I have no ongoing costs with keeping the forum running, it's included in my blog webhosting package, but if I decide I need the resources it's using it might go poof.
Laters.

Why don't I shut the forum down?
Well, I invested money into building this site, I think it was initially $300 just for xenforo, and then 50-60$ for any plugins I needed,I think the site turned out well and how I wanted it to, the automatic YouTube video posting makes a cool front page.
