An update on the Hackers for the Resistance platform

Well, a month after the soft-launch, I've upgraded the Hackers for the Resistance platform, and we're now about 95% of the way to the "final" implementation.

I'm having a bad pain day today, and have plans to hit an indoor range later (to do more testing of my CZ-P09F Nocturne, which I just got back from being repaired a couple days ago), so I'm going to keep this short.

While I liked the previous software (Flarum), it is a bit of a complicated setup with limited aftermarket support, and I knew I'd have to migrate to something else later (most likely XenForo), which meant coding up an importer to migrate users & content over.. Which I honestly did no want to do.

So, I decided to take my income from patch and other merch sales and buy a license for XenForo + the Resources Manager while we're still in the poking-people-with-sticks-to-get-them-to-join-and-contribute phase (You can register on the community platform here - DO IT NOW PLEAAASE).

Overall, XF is a much more stable and extensible platform, and more importantly, I have years of experience working with it.. Case in point, it took a little over an hour to get everything set up and themed.. And it's search visibility is solid, which is going to be critical here.

Eventually I'll probably be adding more nodes (forums), and will also flesh out the resources categories as we see how things develop on the content side, but for now I'll just keep posting by myself and sharing it with the hopes that some of you find something you think is worth registering to share on it.

Stay strong, and Foxtrot Delta Tango friends.
