Should we make the Legacy Survey discussion Site better?

Can we turn this into something like this?

Or add new plug-in features?

I have created a poll for those interested. Should we make it better?

If there’s a specific theme or some plugins you think would be interesting, let me know, I haven’t customized any of the look at the site!

I’ve heard that the site is pretty outdated (from other Discourse forums) practically, if you go to the TOS version, it does not have the names filled out and the FAQ has the default Discourse addon to it, and pretty much all the unedited comments placed by @system (Discourse system based user setup) or something else. Many of these is pretty much confusing to new users…

If you can elect me as one of the website super admins, I might be able to fix them since I read many things about discourse admins and you. I have read the admin documentation/tips and tricks.

And some information:

If you are an admin, you’re in charge of the forum. You can completely reconfigure the whole site, with access to every site setting. With great power comes great responsibility! Here’s the place to go for guides and instructions.

Wow, @ChrisSnell88 I kinda like DarkPixlz’s Modern Theme and it would be cool if you could put an image of the Coma Cluster right in the middle, and include blurry tiles and

May we include it? Feedback/suggestions?

Possible setup tools:

Really cool features too, pity that this discourse isn’t fully set up. I knew about this since I joined back in December of 2022

What do you mean “isn’t fully set up”? What do you think is missing?
thanks,

Cool, I added that DarkPixlz’s Modern Theme, with (roughly) the background image you suggested.

You can select it for yourself by going to

cheers,

(I tried it out myself, but on Firefox it feels slow, like there’s a slight delay when scrolling)
