We moved. Same garage, new lift.

If you can read this, the migration worked.

We picked up the whole site — every post, every comment, every like, every member — and dropped it onto a brand-new platform. Same MadWay, same garage, just a new lift in the shop and a fresh coat of paint on the walls.

What stayed

• Your account. Same username, same password. Log in like nothing happened.
• Every post. All 1,200+ of them, going back years.
• Every comment. Nothing was nuked.
• Every like. Your upvotes on comments came along too.
• Your bookmarks, tags, categories. All here.
• Old links. If someone linked to madway.net/posts/123-some-slug.html somewhere on the internet in 2018, that link still works — it now quietly redirects to the new topic URL.
• Avatars. If you had one, it's still your ugly face.

What's new

• The forum runs faster. Way faster. Pages that used to take 2 seconds now take 200ms.
• The editor is cleaner. Markdown is the default, but you can still paste YouTube/Vimeo/Twitter/SoundCloud links and they embed automatically. Images, videos, quotes, lists — all work.
• Mobile is actually usable now. Like, really usable. Try it.
• Daily check-ins, points, leaderboards — all the stuff is new futures.
• Dark mode and light mode toggle in the header. Pick your poison.

What's maybe a little different

• A handful of features from the old site didn't make the trip: photo albums, private messages, the activity feed, polls, user groups/clubs. We may bring some of these back later, we may not. The forum itself — the part that matters — is fully intact.
• If you had an old MD5 password (very old accounts from years ago), the new system couldn't read it. You'll get a "password reset" prompt when you try to log in. Click it, set a new one, you're in. Took me 20 seconds when I tested it.
• Some images embedded inside very old posts might point at old paths. If you spot a broken image, drop a comment below and I'll fix it.

Found a bug?

Reply to this thread. I'll be watching it. Migration is 99% done — there's always a 1% of weirdness that only shows up when real humans start clicking around. Be specific: URL, what you expected, what you got. Screenshot if it's visual.

Final word

The internet is 90% bullshit. We post the other 10%. That didn't change. Same rule applies here as before: no bots, no politics. Just a website, and the things actually worth your time.

Thanks for sticking around through the move. The garage is open.
