Someone in a Monero chat suggested that our forum would look better with a dark theme - I couldn’t agree more. Using a bit of AI magic and some tweaks, the forum is now in dark mode. If you notice any styling glitches, please let me know!

I'm making this thread to warn others not to use the hosting company coin.host. They market themself as a crypto friendly hosting service but require you to provide your personal information after you pay them and if you don't they will not give you a server and will just keep the crypto.
Avoid this shitty scummy company at all costs!

I’ve had a hard time working on this forum because the MyBB community support site no longer functions. Whenever I try to visit it, I’m immediately redirected back to the MyBB homepage. It’s frustrating, because when I need help or am searching for a plugin, I can’t access any of the threads. The Wayback Machine hasn’t indexed most of their discussions, so that content is effectively lost.
Anyone know what's up?
