only one request, don't fuck it up when you update like tos did. every time over the years when they updated, it would be all fucked up and not work right for months then when they did try to fix it it would fuck it up even more, or never get fix all all.

and please please don't change the emoji's to ones like theirs, piss ass poor excuse for emoji's i've ever seen. i like the ones here better than any other sites i've been on.

one of the newest problems on tos, is no uploading of images, it's because of a security certificate problem on https so they say but it's been almost a month, month and a half and still doesn't work right.

There is usually a "shakedown" period after any major update where the bugs are worked out, but we strive to minimize such periods and we had traditionally looked around at other sites with the same underlying software that have updated in order to get an idea of what those bugs might be so that we have a head start on fixing them, also to minimize member frustrations with the update. TOS runs on custom software coded by Skeptic Overlord for the most part, so they don't have that advantage of seeing what the updates did to someone else first.

Most of the emojis here were Guohua's choice, so I don't see them changing much at all. The woman loved her emojis, probably because they had a way of getting her point across quickly, without having to translate from Mandarin to English. I don't even recognize TOS emojis AS emojis.

I tried to implement https:// here, but failed. I plead technical ineptitude in the matter. I tried for about a month before I finally threw in the towel and admitted defeat, admitted that a machine finally kicked my ass. It's something I'd like to implement if I could find someone to do it, as the lack of a "connection secure" icon in the address bar is offputting to some folks who would otherwise be members I think. It was suggested to me by one of the honchos at a social media site  who visited, and that was when I started trying but ultimately failing to implement it. The documentation for MyBB utterly lost me when I was having at it, otherwise it might have gotten done.

I don't think it actually matters all that much, as https:// was designed to implement e-commerce and keep it secure, and e-commerce isn't done here. About all it really would protect here would be login information from a "man in the middle" attack, but still folks get used to it and expect it, even if it only gives them a sense of security that isn't really necessary.
