Also, just a note, over the lifetime of the forums we have had three admins who were "coders". Myself, Scott, and Hugh. Hugh has not been around for many years did mostly back end stuff on the linux side and did a bit here and there on the PHP/HTML side. Scott has created some truly great PHP plugins for the forums (and the HTML to go with it), the ones we use every day. I currently code mostly in PHP and more recently in C#/Unity. I really like app programming in a game engine (but not games, building apps). It's very powerful and very creative. So, personally, I spend most of my "coding time" in C# these days and write PHP code as needed to support my Unity app development.

Note: some of my recently app prototyping in Unity was featured on ResearchGate this year:

Cybersecurity experts team up on ResearchGate to make threats in cyberspace easier to see

.... so naturally, I am keen on this type of visual "virtualized application" programming these days. Also, note that I had no experience in C# or Unity before I started this project in the 4th quarter of 2016, so even old dogs like me can learn new fun tricks!

Edit: If you need some inspiration on the future of multi player gaming in an infinite multiverse, check out Star Citizen:

Also, it is kinda ironic that my collaborator (R. Zuech) who introduced me to the idea of using Unity for the project above has yet to write a single line of production code (due to his work schedule at his full time job) so I have written every line of code for the project features above on RG myself - and I am the "old guy" ... LOL It's funny. I thought Rich would do all the C# coding (because he had prior experience coding in C#), but it turned out to be just the opposite!
