For now, it stays where it is ugly code and all, and will not be changed. Development on its HTML5-based, independent successor is underway, but it has been stalled due to real-life issues and that I'm the only person with the proper development experience who gives a damn about this right now.
When the new version is up, it will replace the old one; a reset may happen, in which case we will keep the old system running in parallel for about 90 days from the point the new one goes live.
I'm finding some time, now that I have a PC (it's a Microsoft Surface Pro, pretty legit), to get back to work on it, and maintain the original codebase a bit more, but the plan remains, to move FETO (and these forums) to a new, independent system with a unified account management system, and also to update our cache of data with FE:A goodies.
I now have the ability to decrypt and rip the ROM contents for FE:A, and transcode it to something meaningful (BCWAV/BCSTM -> FLAC and MP3) and I can acquire a copy generously from a local library, or a certain friend in Australia.
I'm also going to contribute towards funding the site and server, as well, in the coming month or so. I do have projects which use some of the frameworks and ideas which I'm working on putting into the new site architecture.
I can't give a launch date, as we all live very dynamic lives, but I can assure you, the old FETO isn't planned to go offline yet, and the new FETO isn't cancelled yet.
Also, if it means anything, I'm typing this all from work. Gotta multitask. ;p
That'll be $34.59, swipe your card. Credit?
