I thought all the cool kids had gone on to Discord?

 

[Rochdale]

Well, the decrepit old men are on Discord. Not sure we have any cool kids anymore

 

[Pictelf]

Did we ever?

 

[Rochdale]

I was cool, I was cool like Fonzie.

I still am

 

[Pictelf]

Heeeyyyyyyy *in Fonzie tones*

 

[Rochdale]

 

[Pictelf]

Yeah, I never really got Fonzie. Didn't dislike him, just couldn't see what the all fuss was about.

A 28yo guy hanging around with high school kids, nothing freaky about that at all.

 

[Pictelf]

That might have had something to do with it
Was young enough not to suss how old he was but yeah he was too old for that crowd. I was probably young enough to think maybe that's one of the many weird thing grown-ups did.

Annual visit?

 

[Rochdale]

I got an email to tell me someone actually used the forums

 

[Rochdale]

And I fixed all the legacy smilies, I forgot they were all on the clanuk.org.uk domain, so I put in some cloudflare redirects as that site doesn't exist anymore.

 

[Pictelf]

I did wonder why it wiznae working Tbh it was the email that alerted me too.

 

[Rochdale]

So the new forum was back originally www.clanuk.org.uk, then I got the clanuk.co.uk domain back so switched to using that.

The imported legacy smilies were originally hosted on clanuk.org.uk, so the forum config has that URL and path in for each, so even though they were copied over to the clanuk.co.uk site the config is still pointing to the old domain. Instead of fixing the config for god knows how many images I just put some cloudflare page rules to redirect traffic from the old domain to the new because I still own both.
So the config is still wrong but Cloudflare is handling that for us. It's a bit lazy, but it works, so meh
