Some exceptions apply, such as the safe-haven and randomness sections, and only the first few hundreds of characters of BBCode are used, but basically, I figured that with the low amount of website news in the la...

On October 23rd 2014, late in the evening (or night for many of our users), discussions about the creation of a new calculator forum immediately started in private, where CodeWalrus would be eventually chosen as the name. During its first three years the forums and especially IRC/WalrusIRC chat managed to serve their purpose of recreating a former calculator community discussion environment. In mid 2017, all staff either became busy or stepped down and CodeWalrus activity declined considerably d...

We got a new theme that adds some of the features we wanted a long time ago, such as defaulting to the global list of recent topics.

Of course this means we will have to change themes again once SMF 3.0 comes out. In the meantime it's still possible to switch back to one of the previous themes (dark or light), although some f...

PSA: Drama in the shoutbox and IRC

As IRC and chatrooms are real-time discussion mediums, when people post there they usually don't preview what they wrote, since it appears publicly as soon as they hit Enter. This increases the risks of drama in case of misunderstanding or tense atmosphere and people are more at risk of breaking the rules by accident. Also, contrary to popular belief, some IRC channels, which includes #Codewalrus (which is relayed to WalrusIRC) are publicly log...
