Play Fish

Though I don't have a nifty little image to go with that title, I do have a new bit of news in the form of a story.
Two years ago I started holding my breath, simply waiting for the new version of phpBB to be released. And though, the newest version has reached a beta stage, the time it has taken phpBB to mature to where the beta is now has been much too long. And the number of security fixes that have been released along the way has added much to my stress these past several months. Without the time to really dig into Outload as I used to, and still yearning to find something... better, lead me down a long path before I stumbled upon http://drupal.org. To keep this short I'll say this, my phpbb install is/was a few version behind the recent security fixes. And it is so because I know I need a large chunk of time to do the manual updates required when you have mods installed. Even their automatic update scripts give me hell, as they did last time when it took me about 3.5 hours to preform a simple update. Whereas tonight, I blew the dust of the 4.7 Drupal installation I had, installed and ran a module to import the phpbb database, and upgraded Drupal to the new 5.0 Beta... all in about 2 hours (I've been chatting with Koby...)

So here it is. It will be improving and growing. Yes all your accounts are here and should be working fine, if you have problems, contact me. Enjoy.
