What happened to the lifein19x19 forum? It's back 🥳

That has actually existed for years already! Life in 19x19 · GitHub

It never did get much traction from anyone else, though I think Kirby did use it originally to get some of the scripts going. (But yes, I’ll definitely update both of those repos on Github with the latest changes and deployment files)

Made more progress tonight - got some theming back, and all the diagram generation code working with the newest version of PHP (which required an almost complete rewrite, as the old code used a very unsafe exec block that was completely removed in PHP 8.4).

Release is imminent!

So much awesome news!

Say, @apetresc, do you have plans to somehow inform all L19 members?

Because I believe that, after such a long time of being offline, many people will not visit L19 every few days or weeks like I do to see whether something has changed.

We’re back! https://lifein19x19.com should be ready now.

Please read the announcement post with some additional details at LifeIn19x19.com v2.0! - Life In 19x19 , and I re-iterate my call for admins/mods to help with hunting down any remaining bugs and doing a reorganization of some sub-communities that have become obsolete.

I’ve also (hopefully!) resolved the e-mail sending issue that was blocking new registrations even before the outage, so we should theoretically be able to turn those back on. Hopefully Kirby or trohde or one of the other admins can confirm.

Thanks again for your patience everyone!

Good idea. The bulk-email functionality is working again so we should be able to do that from the admin panel itself. Let’s just iron out all the bugs amongst the die-hards first before we open the floodgates with an e-mail. Hopefully this weekend.

An example index page of my posts: Index of Uberdude's detailed technical Go posts - Life In 19x19

Though the links in the first comment aren’t working, but some later ones do e.g. reviewing SL articles using LZ and criticism - Page 5 - Life In 19x19 or Reviewing Shuko's book with bots - Life In 19x19.

My journal is back Uberdude's journal - Life In 19x19 plus my holiday journal where I met my wife: Uberdude's Go holiday journal - Life In 19x19

Thanks again Adrian.

Ah, those were just not working because they were from so long ago that they still used the /forum/ path which stopped existing ages ago. I’ve updated them for you, they all work now :slight_smile:

Glad it’s back!

Yes, lots. This 'n' that - Life In 19x19 is a treasure trove (for those who have enough time to dig). And Uberdude’s links above. And much more.
