Installed the newest version of Gallery and have begun migrating some of the old content. If you don’t see any content, that’s because it’s the NSFW content. You can register for Wordpress access as a member, and you’ll be synched to the Gallery. Then simply join the NSFW group in PHPBB3. There’s really not a catch-all integration between Wordpress and PHPBB3, so this is a manual synchronization by myself or Larry.

I realize that having multiple site technologies is a pain, but a fairly inconspicuous one. Once you’re logged in, cookies should manage the rest.

It’s going to take some time for Larry and I to get things in order. Most folks will want the forums.
