Sorta been working on this for a while now. The old codebase got a little bit too difficult to work on, and honestly was itching to work on something new as far as a codebase, framework, etc. I always desired to add new features but it just wasn't going to happen on the current site. So, I started from scratch. And this was the result:

https://next.slaent.com

There's a ton of new and familiar features, mostly re-imagined.

When and missing items
There won’t be an immediate switch-over to the new version. In fact, even after it happens the old website will be made accessible on a sub-domain for those who prefer. It will be for all intents and purposes deprecated, with minor compatibility updates to make it work with changes to the new version.

What’s still missing?

Bugs, feedback, etc. are all applicable here! I encourage everyone to explore and particularly check-out Settings. Should be something in there to customize things a bit to your liking.

Also, Yurt, ffs, stop using single and mix-case bbcode tags 😭
