    Hi, ever since I joined back in January, I've seen a banner explaining how the site is planning on pushing out a major update this year. However I can't seem to find any information about this update at all; I don't see anything about it in the sections and the site itself doesn't seem to have any info about it either. Is a 2023 release still planned? What will the update consist of? I'm just a bit confused about the whole situation.

    Hi! The planned update referenced is actually a migration to completely different forum software. PC has been running for years (decades....) on outdated vBulletin software that was heavily customized by many different people over many different years, which is very hard to keep running well and doesn't give opportunity to add many modern features. Sheep has been working with someone to make sure that all of our PC-specific features and atmosphere are retained when we migrate, which is fiddly work considering all our customizations. I know it's late in the year already, but a 2023 release is still being aimed for! The site shouldn't be too different when we migrate, especially on the user-end, but it'll allow us to introduce and use more features with far less hassle over time. :)
