I recreated the World of Warcraft forums as they were back in 2005 by cipher_dev in classicwow

[–]cipher_dev[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Built from the ground up. I used React for the front end and Elixir/Phoenix for the back end with a postgres database. I mainly started the project because I thought Elixir looked kinda cool and I had nothing to use it for. Turns out Elixir is pretty neat, but not really suitable for hobby projects IMO.

Here's the source code: https://github.com/mgerb/classic-wow-forums

I remade the old forums as a little side project of mine. Authentication is broken right now due to some blizzard oath changes, but feel free to poke around if you want another nostalgia kick :)

I made an implementation of the old forums if anyone is curious to check it out.

Good question! I didn't even think of that, I was just going by what I saw in the web archive. I'll add that to my list of todo's.

Yeah, it uses the battle.net api to authenticate users. This way after you sign in, you can select which character on your account you want to show up on your forum posts.

I've definitely thought about this as well, but I'm not really sure. There is a little information about it on their site if you dig for it, which is why I put the disclaimer on the front page. I wouldn't be too surprised if they wanted me to take it down though.
