Looks like the current codebase is a bit of a tangled mess, and they’re reworking things to make it cleaner and easier to manage—especially around features like notifications and theming.

Here’s the gist from the article:

The current forum system is built on a fork of Minibord but feels more like its own beast now.



The code has some structural issues, making adding new features complicated.



A full redesign is underway, with progress visible here: https://staging.cy-x.net/forum/index.php



Admin is still figuring out some parts but wants community feedback and hype.

What do you all think? Any features you wish the new forum would have? Pain points you’ve experienced? Or just thoughts about the direction it’s taking?

Personally, I hope it keeps the privacy and open-source spirit strong while improving usability.

Let’s talk!
