This person: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/xaerun

is an admin again, though I don't know how long they've been restored. He describes himself as a "toxic and negative" person:
...

Note that a) it's in quotes and b) he's appears to have been demoted from forum admin back down to supermod (along with ArielMT). I would hazard a guess that someone cited him as being "toxic and negative" as the reason for his demotion, and he's expressing it in the only way that won't simply get him banned for sharing private information. It's more likely though that the demotions were chase removing them because they're not active enough for his liking (I doubt 'neer would care). The quote may or may not be related to that, but I assume that it is a quote.

So... this thing all fixed now or what?

No, some stuff happened with the thing, and then that whatsit ended up doing something or other.

Looks like it's still charmander working alone. What is it with pokemon recoding FA?

This would be better if FA staff actually used this hard-hammer approach on actual tracers, but if you TT a work, it takes months before they even bother to look into it, usually deleted by then.

Posting a thread on /furi/ is far more effective.

So an update came out today, and it turns out that Project Phoenix is open source.

How the hell did someone manage to convince 'neer to make it open source? What about the EVIL ANTI-FA HACKERS seeing all the code? And Zaush is presumably okay with it too? He's prepared to give up being SUPREME GLORIOUS TEAM LEADER of the SUPER ELITE CODING GROUP?

I must've stepped through a portal to opposite world.

As for the journal, this comment chain is hilarious.

if it is going to be under higher security, why is it posted out where all to see? Seems like a pretty amateur move to make to me.

Publicity of code doesn’t have much bearing on security. When it does, it’s usually positive. Take Linux, for example.

never heard of Linux, tbh.

work was beginning on coding custom forum software because it was decided vBulletin was "bad"

Coding their own custom forum software is clearly the best solution, since vBulletin is the only forum software in the world, and there definitely aren't many other ones they could use instead. I look forward to the upcoming forum beta around 2016.

FA Forums user Benanderson reveals some serious security issues in FA's code

This is FA's broken architecture rather than its code. It's better than it was 3 years ago (unless someone else can find even more flaws), but still pretty fucky.

I think it's terrible that bad dragon are just perpetuating the myth that all friesian's have massive dongs.

Oh no, I'm starting to become irrelevant again! BETTER DRINK MY OWN PISS MAKE SOMETHING UP

don't

If you'd told me that earlier it would've saved a lot of time
