Well, I let the software for the forum lapse. And then I upgraded the entire website to PHP 8. Which killed the forum. I've downgraded to 7.

I've got to figure out a path forward
 
Ya yeah. I'm almost bored and depressed enough again to start work on it again. For realisies this time.
Well then get more bored and depressed buddy, we miss you round here! Have you tried being unemployed for long stretches at a time? Maybe getting a divorce? Well, I've been informed that you've recently gotten a divorce, sir. Bad timing on that joke I guess. Gallows humor, and all that.
But hey, I want you to really listen to this part, as one fellow divorcee to another: I am 100% able to turn off the cheekiness and lend an actual sensitive ear if you need it. Ditto on the depression front; I know its sting well, and can be much more sympathetic than you'd expect from a guy who gets called a "troll" as often as I do. You're literally surrounded by people who hang off every word you write in these parts. There's no stigma about reaching out in this camp, buddy.

Sting? I've been divorced five times. (I like to think I do really well at everything I do, getting marri d, getting not married ...)

I'm chill. It's just the ennui of a well examined life, abandonment of everything and everyone in it, and cutting back on the coke, hookers and liquor that served to distract. As soon as my fucking gallbladder gets out then I can get back to it!
 
Gallbladder! You can take my hookers'n blow, but what is life without saturated fats?!!!
 
Like I said, I like to think I'm good at everything I do. Everyone is excited, at firt, about someone with high energy ... and then I just want to sit down :)

Except typing, apparently. "Firt" indeed.

I'll just say it - Bryce, you suck at typing. For someone renowned for writing, and who is so critical of the writings of others, that's... not a good look. Do you write all this stuff on your phone, or what's the deal here?
 
Speaking of site issues...I've noticed the Trending Articles are now pointing to the first post in the thread instead of the last one. Also, this morning when I was trying to look at a few threads I got hit with "resource limit reached". Bryce, is there anything you can do about this?

Hmmm, I'm not seeing an option. I've added it to my to do list, and I should have a chance to look at it in more depth this weekend.

Looks like a reported bug

I think it's probably also related to this:

Before the upgrade this would always update with the threads that had received recent replies. They'd also list out the user and the date of the reply. Now it seems awfully static. This thread, "Site Upgrade Issues", should have been displayed at the very top but it wasn't even added to Trending Content.
