zerok forum language switch question

Hello
it is only a checkout who would / could contribute to port current zerok forums to another weblanguage like PHP (I know php has it cons and enough haters but it is more known as .NET)
I assume there would be more developers or code writers to help than there would be bug reports. To take the facts: nearly noone here knows .NET, PHP is well known and simple bug fixes like battle search or mark forums read could be fixed by more people. Current devs are busy with zerok itself (which is good and thats why we all are here)
Where could be problems when porting it to PHP. All data which is needed is in the database and the HTML / CSS could be taken over after some facelifting. :)
Much more important is what the core devs and how they would like it. They would have more time for zerok :-)

This is so HOT!

Funny that Nightwatch is a member of Rising rather than Hegemony...

Why not just learn .NET and contribute? If writing anything in PHP seems like a good idea to you, you have much to learn.

Because .NET is from Microsoft and in my opinion it doesn't fit to open source game.
PHP was just a starting hint. Personally I would use some python framework.
btw. there are very good websites written in php and they are still secure.

And how does Nightwatch communicates with website, isn't it using any protocol and why is an bot hardcoded in a website?

As an outside observator with no knowledge of coding stuff, I think you are quite harsh with @smaggy whose original post was not aggresive at all...
