Says site owner Benjamin in an announcement post here:

The concept for this new version came from the realization that XenForo and WordPress didn’t really work well together. Plus, there were a lot of issues with WordPress. (Although it’s still a very good CMS, it just wasn’t right for this site.)

So I decided to rebuild the site from scratch using two frameworks:

  • Laravel for the content section.
  • XenForo for the community section.

The two work together perfectly and allow us to combine the strengths of both.

This new version comes with many changes.

  • New Design
  • New User Management
  • New Submission Form
  • Addition of Clubs
  • New Home Page
  • Improvements to the ROM Patcher and ROM Hasher
  • Improved Filters
  • Addition of the “Play Online” Feature
  • Documentation Available
  • Switch to Open Source
