Two days ago, a Friday, a full day's work below was the last update: https://github.com/epochtalk/epochtalk/commit/1a34230c77bfe43a9960bd5a1785a9a4dca12277

// get lastActive for this user
     request.db.users.getLastActive(userId)
     .then(function(lastActive) {
-      console.log(lastActive);
       // if no lastActive, then just update
       if (!lastActive) { return true; }

I'm not a coder, so I haven't a clue if the above needs more commas or cowbells.

I can undersand that you are not a coder; as a coder would notice that the Epochtalk forum software has been split up into modules and most of the development no-longer happens in the core module.

Please see:

Since you seem to know what's going on, when will the new software be ready for prime time? I've been hearing about it since Matthew N. Wright was giving theymos so much shit over its completion that he got permabanned and that was 2013. There's a ton of Linux distros that took less than three years to develop that likely had fewer people working on them and a much smaller budget. Are they coding the forum in a new language they're developing? Maybe developing a new kind of math to go with it? Base 8 math anyone?
