FluxBB

I love this forum, everything is so responsive and neatly arranged
However, the FluxBB github has not seen any commits for 4 years now and the official homepage is dead

Does this mean that we need to change our forum software at some point or is this really not a big deal?

I hope we will never use discourse. I strongly dislike everything about it.

Re: FluxBB

@ alphalpha . . . Yes, FluxBB is a good fit for Devuan. The software was old even when it was first installed. I have no idea if there have been any "official" updates since then but there have been some custom modifications. Here's the story of how we got to FluxBB . . .

Devuan's first forum was Discourse. It was not very well received by Devuan users. So I created and self-hosted Dev1Galaxy as the "The Officially Unofficial Devuan Forum!" alternative. Two or so years later, Discourse was mothballed and Dev1Galaxy became the "Officially Official Devuan Forum!".

As long as it works, why would there be any reason to change it? SNS is not exactly Devuan's style . . .
