Rebuilding in public
Same tea.
Much better pot.
Guru Gossip is being rebuilt from the ground up — a brand new home for the boards that made you log in every day. Faster than the old phpBB, thumb-friendly on a phone, and comfortable on a 27-inch monitor.

Why rebuild
What we're changing
The old forum ran on a shared phpBB host and it showed. Here is what actually changes, in plain English.
Phone first, then desktop
Threaded, thumb-reachable layouts on small screens and a wide three-column view on big ones. Neither is an afterthought.
Search that works
Full-text search across every post, with filters for board, author and date. Your 2014 receipts are findable again.
You choose the pings
Replies, mentions and a weekly digest — or nothing at all. Nobody gets spammed into muting the whole site.
Polls and spoilers
Vote inside a thread, and wrap reveals in spoiler tags so the drama lands on your terms.
Handles, not real names
Post under a handle. We never ask for a legal name, and we publish what moderators do.
The roster
Boards, old and new
Every board you know is coming across, plus a few we think you have been asking for. Vote in the survey if you think something is missing.
