Hey, whats up with a concept i've suggested some time ago? I found it lying om my drive and wonder why not to ask.
If you're looking forward to upgrading current one one day, i can optimize it a while, include any wishes on what may seem unfit or bad, add dynamic width support and offer an upgrades of some parts like pms and gallery to bring some usability.
I've heard you have troubles with webmastery, but this one supposed to fit existing logics without any (or at least major) reprogramming, although i think we can find someone in a community to put it on some rails.
Care you?

I like it a lot, I just wonder how much effort it would be to implement... I'll try to have a look at it soon.

If we're gonna do something new, it'll be a new forum software (probably Vanilla or Flarum) without any home screen/news stuff that nobody uses and a separate, better curated/cleaned up downloads section (and maybe the wiki, it's also pretty dead). I'd also completely redo the branding and color scheme.

Thing is, that transition is a pain in the ass, so it's highly unlikely to happen.

I prefer mybb for classics... Simple and bit modern than phpbb

I don't disagree, but rather than trying to make a singular unified CMS as was the trend when The Starport started, I'd favor separate sites with a simple global navigation bar somewhere to go between them. Makes the creation and update process dramatically easier. The wiki can probably be updated directly from what we have now since it's just MediaWiki with some crap added to fit in Xoops, but the forums are going to be a nightmare to port to anything and the downloads are half broken as is.

It's just a big time investment for what I mostly see as an archive for a game of days past, which I don't think w0dk4 or I have time for.

While there is not much activity these days, I still think it would be bad to lose it. I like the thorough explanations in the modding database, as opposed to sifting through outdated forum posts.

Which is also why I added way more wiki articles than forum threads.

Yeah, I see what you mean.
At least the technological development would sooner or later force you to upgrade. e.g. the recently pretty fast development of new php standards and fact that older standard no longer are supported and therefore require new frontend solutions or at least version adjustments.

I've stopped believing this community could collaborate to such an extent years ago. We don't really have the skilled manpower for such an undertaking anymore anyway.
