The First Entry

It always gets me a bit - naming your website after your own name or common handle. In this case though, it sort of makes sense.

Since the welcome page is apt to change over time, I will go over my goals for this site here.

First and foremost, I want to put my technical articles here - about securing Windows, optimizing Debian, hacking Simple Machines Forum, whatever. In addition to being an adult forum, Elliquiy is rather large, and placing it there only makes it all the more intimidating if people ever come to Elliquiy for that sort of thing.

Secondly, well, an idea came to me after Personal Roleplaying was proposed. Elliquiy runs on Simple Machines Forum, and is currently one of the largest and most active of such forums. Blue Moon runs on phpBB, due to it being more familiar for its client base, and has likewise become quite sizable. I'm hoping that, with MyBB, Personal Roleplaying will also be rather active, and I can analyze a multitude of forum software in a fairly objective manner.

I'm not stopping with those three, of course. The forums here are open for anyone to join, and I have two additional projects that I want to apply PunBB and Vanilla to. My extensive experience with SMF probably biases me a bit, but I do want to look at them all through an objective lens.

I can't guarantee I will look at everything, of course. Drupal implies giving Joomla another chance (I tried... I really did try), as well as Wordpress/BBPress, in order to compare it with more fully fledged CMS solutions.

We'll see what people want, I suppose : )
