Technical hurdles mounting, how about Reddit?

[Vegard B. Havdal]

Hi guys, we have some difficulties with this forum, I'd like to hear what you think about moving the community over to for example https://www.reddit.com/r/motorpsycho/? Do anyone know the people running that reddit, can you vouch for them, or not? Comments?

@Vegard.

I would be very sorry indeed to see this site close, but I'm sure you have done and are doing all you can to keep it running. I have zero experience with Reddit, so I can't help in that regard. Wherever you take us, I intend to follow. Good luck.

I prefer the traditional forum layout, but at least that Reddit-page does not contain that horrible "short interview with Bent" thread.

Why not Discord? It's very user-friendly.

I think we should definitely stay here as long as it technically possible or, respectively, as long as it isn't too much hassle for Vegard to maintain.

Dear vegard, i dont know what the issues are but it would be awesome if you can keep it here…REDDIT is such an unpleasant environment. But whatever you choose to do big thanks for upkeeping this place as long as you have. @LANGBEIN : hahaha…i know what you mean!

Thanks so much for your effort Vegard! Another forum I saw uses phpBB software. Don’t know if that could be feasible or would fit.

Hi Vegard, what are the issues? Maybe I can help.

Was wondering the same – can we help in any form? If there are costs to have this forum running I would be glad to donate and keep it alive. The technical standard is fine and mpUnoff somehow the "online soul" of motorpsycho = cultural heritage :STG:

In case there is a functional idea behind it (in connection with their official website mp.no f.e.) us psychonauts will be happy to get engaged … just make sure to keep the exact hex colours: dark green is digital motorhome :MPD:

Thanks guys. It’s not about cost, and it’s just about this forum. If any of you are good with forum software on Unix,

could you email me on vbhavdal@gmail.com.

Discord might be the right place.

Thanks Vegard for dealing with this forum through the years.

Huge thanks to Vegard! Even if I'm not very active here I appreciate this forum A LOT! One of the few places I visit every day.

Sorry for not having any ideas or suggestions concerning the technical part of things. I would donate if it was about the cost. If due to hassle you can't keep this forum going, I won't blame you.

Oops. Wrong thread.
