Migrating the site to Xenforo

[JJ Husker]

Speaking for myself, I would pay the $24/year to go ad free. I’d still want to use my blocking browser because it prevents much more than just ads. Malware, phishing, trackers etc. My monthly report makes HB look like the most dangerous place on the internet with all the crap it blocks.

And to reiterate, using the blocking browser was never done with the thought of harming your income stream. It was only employed to protect my phone/computer and to make the site usable. Everyone knows it costs money to keep a site like this running. So, not freeloading even though it has the same effect from your POV. I’ll gladly pay $2/mo.

I hear you. The migration to Xenforo is in the works and it will have the ad free subscription option and a new ad agency that will screen out the click bait/malware ads.

In the meantime I have disabled all the ads except the bottom and top anchor ads.

The migration to Xenforo is scheduled for this Thursday at 10 AM Central time. 

The site will be down for up to two hours.

Well, the programmer forgot Thursday is a Holiday and his wife will be off so it has been rescheduled for Monday at the same time.

Oh yeah, Thursday is a holiday!

I never knew programmers worked bank hours!  :lol:

Well this is going to take awhile to get used to

Isn't this what Huskermax looks like?

That was before posters using ad blockers. It's an option that I am putting out there. No more freeloading by those dishonest enough to circumvent the funding to keep this site going. It's like taking your bacon and eggs to the restaurant and ask them to cook it for free. A larger portion of the regulars on this board are doing exactly that and I am exploring options to keep this site going.

Posters are using ad blockers because this site was borderline unusable at times. Respectfully. It was to the point where half of my posts were getting deleted mid paragraph. If I hadn't been here for so long I wouldn't have stayed.

I'm assuming there are still adjustments that need to be made. For instance, tweets aren't showing up.

Also who had the bright idea to let guests start threads? Please for the love of god go look at how many threads there are with spam now.

Looks like on my phone some of the P&R posts hadn't loaded from the last few days. I am assuming they had only backed the data up from Thursday?

There are a number of threads that I can only view the first page. It won't let even go to the last page.

Oof. Have also noticed every thread is spammed with Russian bots.
