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multiple times in it's life but its more or less always lived in a heavily modified vBulletin that's now decades out of date and bled security issues like a Wizet game.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.

And my Axe! so glad to see the site actually running properly again.

shame i can't pineapple your post, but alas. a sacrifice had to be made i'm sure.

EDIT: also, i don't browse just for nostalgia's sake. to this day i still come in looking for info that may have been lost to the annals of time.

I appreciate the forum still being alive!

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.

This is great. Thanks for keeping this going. I went looking for this site the other day.

Great job!

Just saw this, it's alive!

Thank you for keeping this old fossil alive, Eos.

Looking forward to seeing some of you old birds in Classic! 

.....Even if Nexon is doing their typical stupid crap regarding the release 

Hahaha I was wondering what happened here. Glad to see you're still maintaining the site.

(Also I'm glad you picked MyBB - maybe I'm just old fashioned, but I've seen a handful of "modern" forum softwares by now and they all look... wrong. At least the UI does.)

EDIT: Thank you for whatever you did to make the database actually searchable again. Out of curiosity I went to go look at some of my first posts on this forum; vBulletin shat the bed when I tried to do this, but this new arrangement you've got has queries executing really quickly. Love being able to read my old cringe.

Thank you for preserving the site Eos. If there ever is a day you wish to mothball, I'm sure someone else would pick up the steward hat.

We appreciate you. I hope life is treating you well.
