Ya, I suspect he finally got his dad's former professional server box and is installing his phpBB so he can be the next magnora7 - assuming anyone wants to learn a new non-Reddit-like forum interface (a big ask for many IMO).

You say that like it's a bad thing. What are we going to do during the next outage? I've used phpBB forums in the past, it's not a problem for me although I did mention on Sessions that it looks dated by default.

It's not a bad thing. He went MIA, which was not good. PhpBB is not decentralized which is what it is.

Dated by comparison to what? I looked at phpBB and MyBB and others. Sadly there aren't any strong decentralized BB or forums. The best seem big and corporate (and likely compromised).

Nobody said that was the final step, let's face it, this whole thing is not going to pop out of our asses like a beautiful golden egg, fully formed and valuable. We're going to have to divide and conquer, break it down into steps and stages.

Also decentralized can be achieved in other ways, like simply by letting users download the message base. That has a number of advantages to it too, like it's simple. Keep it Simple Stupid is a fantastic principle.

You are correct. I have yet to discover all that's shitty about Lenny. Decentralization is the giant leap forward, along with fair open management - both huge improvements, despite whatever setbacks and hurdles.

Yes, backing up the system and providing it to download is a critical top priority.
