This isn’t some basement BBS, and you don’t want an amateur fooling with it, least of all me. It won’t be much comfort, but I have a weekly conference call with CL management about the Straight Dope, and I can tell you two things: (1) a lot of folks’ hopes are riding on TSD, not just yours and mine, and (2) small but steady progress is being made, although I make no predictions on when you’ll see any sign of it. I remind you that the company is in bankruptcy. I’m one of those guys who would have found reasons for optimism on the Titanic, but the real question isn’t whether we’ll get this or that featured fixed, but whether we’ll continue at all. Thank you for the update Mr Zotti. It is appreciated. I think you know there are many of us hoping that the Straight Dope and SDMB make it through intact and many of us are ready to help if we can. Is it safe to say that we can expect no progress until the Chapter 11 is resolved or might we some additional changes before then? --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/current-status-of-sdmb-upgrade/462854)._
