Really, Slashcode is just unbelievably horrible. I ran it myself. It's stupidly fragile, you can break it by altering things in the interface and it stores its weblogs in the MySQL database.
I eventually moved everything to WordPress and stopped wanting to STAB MYSELF IN THE FACE REPEATEDLY whenever I wanted to make a post.
Slashcode is not my favourite CMS.
Can you explain this to me? this seems like exactly what wordpress does..?
Maybe it doesn't do that any more. BUT SOMEONE EVER THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA.
We've been discussing migrating over to PostgreSQL and rearchitecting the database to run on stored proceedures and views; almost all the DB calls are already abstracted in MySQL.pm, so this is relatively straight forward (if a bit tedious).
