Are IGN moving to XenForo?

[-1313-Evil_Homer]

Anybody know what software they're currently running? Just curious.

Our current software is called "snowboards", or at least thats what the author, ZeroSleep, dubbed them many moons ago. You can check out an old interview he did for Big-Boards if anyone is interested.

Oh, Im Teddy, lead admin at IGN for the last 8 years. Nice to meet everyone

Currently it is an old ASP.net home grown solution. We are in the process though of moving to XenForo. A public beta will be available sometime this year.

You made the right decision! Will you be adding other modifications like XFArcade or XenMedio? With XenMedio you would then be able to compete with GameTrailers user-submitted videos.

Not to bump an old topic , but I bet they will make their own addons to insure stability and have faster fixes when they need it.

Depends if they have time for all of that.

Are there plans to upgrade the old vnboards?

Are there plans to upgrade the old vnboards?

Yes. We will be migrating almost everything. Some systems are not active at all so they won't be. But 99.99% will be migrated when we are done.

 

[Jesepi]

That is going to be amazing. After 10 years of waiting... a functioning forum search.

When is the migration going to happen? Before 2012?

 

[Carlos]

I'm thinking when 1.1 is gold. They're [IGN] not completely finished with coding the software yet. The infrastructure at IGN requires a subscription model.

And, to boot, they'd have import the entirity of millions of posts on the site - it IS massive. What's even worse is that the software IGN was using, it's not officially supported through the importer, so either the programmer has to import it himself with some coding, or he and Kier are working together getting the whole thing transferred over.

 

[Mike Tougeron]

When is the migration going to happen? Before 2012?

We're targeting early/mid Dec for the Prime subscriber boards as part of an early access benefit. Depending on the feedback from that we'll set the next target date, but it should be sometime in January.

Maybe you could share a screenshot/teaser with us?

It's still a work in progress but this is the basic layout
