WHY DID ADMIN-NIG DIS TABLECAT-SAMA?

Why would the admin here reprogram the underlying operating components of this site and abandon the existing architecture earlier engineered by Tablecat who worked very hard on it (and recently released an updated version with awesome quote backlinks and other features)? I dunno, is it just me or is the whole situation a bit of a harsh "fuck you" to Tablecat from the owner of this place?

Because tablecat's software is unusable and extremely difficult to modify. It just parses everything with regex, and doesn't organize things well. The admin interface was starting to take 60+ seconds to load threads older than a month. That's why I had to force anti-necroposting in the software.

It's the same language, just a rewrite to use sqlite. Try using his software for a BBS with 60,000 posts. It's shit, it doesn't scale. The only things I used from tablecat was some of his formatting functions, and his bbcode parser.

Basically, you're a retard. The tablecat software I was using was from 2011, because that's the only one that was available when I started the site. I had to modify it heavily to make it usable in the first place, so that fast posting wouldn't just start corrupting threads, and to put in spam prevention (since it didn't have any, at all, not even per-IP limits). If I wanted to "upgrade", he provided no way to convert old threads to the new software, so I'd have had to delete all the threads and start the board again.

Tablecat mainly works on the software for his own use, and doesn't pay much attention to how others use it, and it's clear from the code / his practices.
