Just so everyone knows, I'm still alive and kicking!

I've been deep in development work, creating an enterprise-level donation plugin for #SimpleMachinesForum. Once it's complete and fully tested on my own site, I plan to release it to the #SMF community free of charge.

For #trans #POC people, or anyone else — here's an image of a #black and #brown phoenix with trans flag color wings, please feel free to use it however you'd like — I created it with AI and it's yours to take.

@llewelly No. That would be great, though maybe impossible?

My forums run on #SMF software #SimpleMachines #SimpleMachinesForum
