A Birthday Missed
Blog
6th September 2024
Today's SoCoder's 18th birthday.
Happy Birthday, SoCoder! So very old, now. -=-=- Happy 18th Birthday, SoCoder 18 years ago, CodersWorkshop unceremoniously got stripped away without warning, and I scrambled to put together a "temporary" forum to keep things going in the meantime. 18 years on, and the site's still up and running, which I guess is a testament to just how sturdy I tried to make it in the first place. It's got a complete and total rewrite back in 2017, where I finally took the time to neaten up all my gnatty code, and upgraded the SQL code to work a little better, but the database is 100% exactly how it was. It even has leftover spaces for MSN/AIM/ICQ/YahooChat and GoogleChat! .. Not even Google+!! So many old bits and pieces. Leftovers from almost 2 decades of old bits of data shoved into a database that's never been cleared out. But, hey, at least it's still going! And though 99% of the users are no longer active on the site, it's still a cosy home from home to all, and they're welcome to return at any point. Except one or two bad-actors over the years. .. There's always one. Last year I had plans to integrate JSE into SoCoder a little more, so that users could register on SoCoder, then use that login on JSE, so it'd cloud-save all your code. I never got around to that, as a giant upheaval happened at home. Maybe this year I should do that. Sure would've been nice to have had that done for today, but .. Hey, ho... Oh well. Keep going, SoCoder. I can't imagine it'll still be in the same form in the future, though. I mean, it was already old looking when I launched it! Maybe it's time for an upheaval of its own. What form could that be, though? How do you do a modern re-interpretation of a classic Forum? Thoughts in the comments? Happy 18th Birthday, SoCoder A.I.
