Different forums out there?

Anybody knows the difference between forum one and forum two?

https://forum.processing.org/one/

https://forum.processing.org/two

This post caught my attention: https://forum.processing.org/one/topic/new-forum-wednesday-night-gmt-4-this-forum-will-be-locked.html

forum 1 was the first. forum 2 was the second. 8)

it says on that thread

The idea is to archive the forums like this:

http://forum.processing.org/alpha  // Alpha forum, YaBB
http://forum.processing.org/beta  // Beta forum, YaBB
http://forum.processing.org/one  // 1.0+ forum, Zoho Discussions
http://forum.processing.org/two  // 2.0+ forum, Vanilla 

forum one was closed a few years ago - don't believe the '11 days ago' messages - they were snapshotted and aren't accurate.

That is why I was confused. So it is not 13 days ago but years ago. Good to know. Thxs @koogs.

@kfrajer -- the answer is in that post by Casey: each forum has been locked, but is still hosted. The current forum is "two". Past forums are:

• http://forum.processing.org/alpha // Alpha forum, YaBB
• http://forum.processing.org/beta // Beta forum, YaBB
• http://forum.processing.org/one // 1.0+ forum, Zoho Discussions
• http://forum.processing.org/two // 2.0+ forum, Vanilla

The misleading thing about Forum One is that it is almost three years old, but has relative dates that are from the day it was turned off, making posts appear recent. For example, Casey's post that you linked says "16 days ago": however if you inspect that tag you will see that was 01-Oct-2013 03:14 PM -- 1251 days ago.

Edit: I somehow missed that this was an already-answered question before giving almost the same answer. Old browser tab, perhaps.
