FreeGameDev

It seems we seem to have an oldish version of phpbb as there is no way to number of things -

a. If I want to link a discussion to some social media account and share the content there or get feedback from either here to there or vice-versa don't think it's possible.

b. Something like thumbs up or thumbs down so that we can give reactions to what is shared by people.

An old one

Tl;dr: there isn't an easy upgrade path and due to ownership, time and access issues this forum will likely have to be replace with something else and started from scratch sooner or later.

P.s. please have a look at social.freegamedev.net but that also needs an update It's a Hubzilla instance that allows interacting with Mastodon etc.
