The Dinner Table Talk at Internet Relay Chat (IRC)

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 22, 2023

THE IRC community replaces what used to be the "Forums" back when we used Drupal (until summer of 2022). A month ago we finally converted all the forum pages into static pages and threw away Drupal. It had been planned for years already.
