The biohack.me forums were originally run on Vanilla and ran from January 2011 to July 2024. They are preserved here as a read-only archive. If you had an account on the forums and are in the archive and wish to have either your posts anonymized or removed entirely, email us and let us know.

While we are no longer running Vanilla, Patreon badges are still being awarded, and shoutout forum posts are being created, because this is done directly in the database via an automated task.

Sorry to write it but there is a delay

There was an update that did not play nice with our ability to import the data. The Go-Live has been pushed back a couple of days while Mmuyskens, BirdMachine, tekniklr and other kind tech souls to lend a hand to figure out the best fix. If you want to help, jump into the #website Slack channel. More updates as we make progress.

*******
New Website Go-Live is TBD
Forums
We are switching to new forums software which has a different look and a (finally!) mobile friendly platform. The threads on this site will be locked down and then the migration will take place. Once complete we will flip over to the new site and everyone can settle in.

All user accounts will be migrated over, however each user will need to:
* Do a password reset to set their password on the new system
* Upload an avatar picture if they want one (we aren’t able to bring them over) 
    
Wiki
The wiki content will be moved over to a basic wiki. The community can then clean it up and make use of real wiki formatting. 

But we aren't stopping with this release, upcoming features (2017-2018):
* QA site (Stack Overflow style) * Project boards * Groups pages * Resources list

A big thanks to Bird and Mmuyskens, their skills and generous donation of time and materials is what has made this happen. 

Thanks also to everyone who contributed, tested and pitched in to keep things moving, including Meanderpaul, BoboTheEpic, Zwytechhacker, JohnDoe, Jupiter, TheGreyKnight, Alex, Jack, rpyka, TimmyCNinja, and AmosKamal. (I apologize if I missed anyone)

    if you want to talk about discord, which is unrelated to this announcement, create a discussion in site suggestions.

    but, in short, this has come up in the slack a few times. those of us at defcon talked about it, briefly, and at this time we aren't creating a discord. slack has better integrations with project management tools we are looking to adopt, and the only advantage discord has is voice chat, which is already being done in other ways.
