create your own software

I like Flarum. Thread locked.

One or the reasons why we haven't migrated from flarum yet is that it's a rather difficult and tedious process to move from one forum software into another.

So why would making a brand new forum software from the ground up be a more viable idea?

Again, you've been told about the lack of developers as recently as yesterday. You're more than aware of the current server situation, and you have been told countless times to stop making suggestions for the sake of making suggestions.

Please actually put thought, time and effort into suggestions in future.

↩  matscalle again, as I said in my original post, making a forum software from the ground up is tedious and requires a lot of fucking effort. There's a reason why nearly every forum out there uses third party software - whether it be flarum, proboards, xenoforo etc.

This suggestion also directly contradicts your other suggestions to rush adding plugins and shit. Something like this would require full 100% developer attention (i.e working on nothing else) for several months if not longer.

↩  matscalle go create it yourself. can you make a forum software?

↩  matscalle I encourage you to stop making suggestions and go run your own freedom server so you can see how fucking stressful it is

↩  matscalle why not make your own?

we have 4 devs who are currently working through literal mountains of tickets that need to be fixed
do you have any idea how hard and time consuming it is to create a brand new forum software from scratch?

Well it seems you really did ‘skip’ what I and others said in the other suggestion thread…

Object.

It is true that a lot of users here do not like Flarum, but that doesn't mean that there is no forum software that they would be happy with. Making something from scratch is typically reserved for when it turns out that there is nothing that meets your requirements, but we are definitely not at that point yet.

Just directly modify the software and change what people don't like.

↩  enchy i'm also a high school senior xd very stressful

we should run tf forum on wix guys!!!111 (bonus points to anyone who gets the reference)

↩  heliumpluto pretty sure matscalle already suggested something like this (and it was likely rejected but whatever)

In short no. It's exceptionally technically complex and as a general rule creating something that already exists and is done elsewhere better than you could do it, is a bad idea.

Denied.
