Server Migration & Forum Porting - Eos - 2026-07-04
Southperry is very old by technology standards.
It's had to move servers multiple times in it's life but its more or less always lived in a heavily modified vBulletin that's now decades out of date and bled security issues like a Wizet game.
So for this year's anniversary of my ownership I had to choose between mothballing it for good, or moving it to something modern and stable and letting it lose a lot of the features and functionality that are frankly moot at this point anyway.
Since you're reading this instead of a couldn't be reached message, I obviously opted for the latter.
It's mostly here. It's familiar if not quite identical. There are probably some quirks I've missed from the porting that just as likely don't matter that much to the four people who will wander through looking for nostalgia.
Happy 4th people.

Thank you for keeping it going, Eos!
I, for one, greatly appreciate the archive of game and community history represented by Southperry.

I still have the ratings and whatnot but haven't figured out quite how to integrate them this with one and put back the ability to rate.
I do actually consider those an important cultural aspect of our history, so maybe one day in the the near future.
