Accidentally did a load test of the server. Handled it well. Too bad it flooded the board with a metric fuckton of messages in some (now deleted) test rooms.

Eh, at least I know this thing can handle some activity.

Never did set the server time properly.

Have since done such and restarted citadel.

Let's see how posts are dated now. Hopefully to match Central time.

Hey everyone,

I realized that having so many categories to post in could be quite overwhelming for a new user, so I've taken time to consolidate the majority of them into their broader topics and I think it really fits the core of what this BBS is intended to be about... so far.

This is of course, a Citadel instance, and as such it can be modified quite trivially with new rooms and sub-rooms, as well as new general areas (floors, in Citadel parlance) to cover new subject areas if / when need for them arises.

I'm trying my best to provide a sane categorization to all of the possible conversations I'd hope to have happen here, but it's quite the challenge. While studying book classification systems has helped me to come up with ideas, such methods don't fully transfer over to active discussion as they do for cataloging archived texts, so there's still plenty of wiggle room to be had that I'm not quite comfortable with, but at least I can use those classifications as general guides to keep things going smoothly as this place, hopefully, grows.

I really should get around to promoting it again... but I'm lazy.

Due to redundancy and a change in content plans for the BBS moving forward, the "Mid-South Weather" room will be retired by January 1st of 2025.

UPDATE: Decision has been made to conduct immediate retirement of room.

Please file all complaints with management.
