Who de-tags old threads from being ‘announcements’?

Just noticing that the announcement section here is getting quite cluttered and could do with some spring cleaning.
Is that a Mod or Dev thing?

Sometimes they're bad at this but you can actually do it yourself. There's a circle with 3 dots in it next to every post. If something is an Announcement, it'll give you the option to Dismiss it, and it'll turn into a regular post for you.

This forum software is sorta weird.

Somewhere (Discord?) sokun recently said they were looking at the forum to be….upgraded? Replaced? Something. In the near-ish future.

Could have been referring to the somewhat-abandoned MPQ website though.

Ah, perhaps they’re upgrading it to Unity? 😳

I'm sure everyone will be shocked to hear that the last time they upgraded the forum it was a huge mess, and we lost a bunch of historical content from the early days that never came back.

I don't know how many people still care about what it was like in the early days, but I think it's pretty cool that (most of) the history of MPQ has been preserved here.

Probably a new upcoming mod would deal with all this nonsense

It's a mod job. I'll sort it when I get 5 mins. Was never very good at doing that bit.

Hopefully better now. Think @Alfje17 also did some. 🙂
