UBB Code™ is enabled.
[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cartman: [QB] TLDR: everybody became old fat fucks. A webservice tied to a flat-file DB (probably a binary format given that UBB is ancient proprietary code, but who knows) backend in 2014, awesome. No wonder the perl interpreter chokes on it. This might just be the last UBB.classic board in existence, a relic in more ways than one. Maybe we should arrange for it to be protected as a historical site. I'm guessing the only DB admin tool is the forum software itself and the DB format is either undocumented or lost to history. That would make low-level cleanup or importing to SQL (with associated migration to phpBB or w/e) rather hard, although apparently [URL=http://www.piranhamethod.com/development-blog/converting-a-ubb-forum-to-phpbb-fireboard-kunena/]not impossible[/URL]. How big is Flare's DB anyway? Is there an automated backup policy? Does anyone besides Charles even have remote server access or is this *still* a one-man show? [/QB][/QUOTE]
