01-22-2025: I wasted the entire day working on an old RavenNuke project. Why do I keep doing that?

RavenNuke was once a worthy CMS. But for years, it's been dead on the vine. For some strange reason, I can't describe, I picked it up and tried to make something out of it. It's a complete waste of time. RavenNuke was a fork of PHP Nuke and there have been a lot of people writing code for it so needless to say it is code-heavy. When you look at PHP8 and compare it to PHP5 the difference is night and day. 

To resurrect RavenNuke would require a complete rewrite. The core of the security relies on a function that has been removed from PHP altogether. So, occasionally, I think about RavenNuke and the team that worked on it and how they all abandoned it at once. It's kind of sad in a way.
