 The plus side is that it's highly configurable and the downside is there's a
learning curve if you don't know JavaScript, and if you do, you may have to
unlearn some stuff that's currently not supported.

Well I used to run a board and got pretty good at Baja. JavaScript went right
over my head. I won’t run another board again, especially synchronet. 
I would ask a question and get ripped a new one. People would be mean to me and
always, always, said read the documentation. lol, I read the documentation.  I
probably read it more than most, spent days and nights. Sometimes the
documentation went over my head and when I would ask. Certain sysops would rip
in to me. They are still around actually. The only two that were nice to me was
rob and night fox. Heaven forbid you forget a coma or accidentally used bad
grammar. It turned me off from the whole scene and I have been away since 2013.

Besides, I don’t have a pc anymore lol. Can’t afford one and I also grown
to hate windows or anything made by Microsoft. Yeah I could use Linux or Mac,
but I’m not buying anymore or building anymore computers. Too much trouble.
The last pc I built had a bad gpu. I send that thing back probably ten times
and got the same results, screen artifacts. All I have now is game consoles and
an iPad.
