Summary

This is the archived GitHub repository for the old EA Forum codebase, forked from ForumMagnum. It represents the legacy implementation of the Effective Altruism Forum platform before development was consolidated into the main ForumMagnum repository.

Key Points

  • Archived read-only repository of the EA Forum, officially archived in January 2026
  • Forked from ForumMagnum/ForumMagnum, which serves as the shared codebase for both EA Forum and LessWrong
  • Repository is significantly behind the upstream ForumMagnum codebase (28,549 commits behind at time of archival)
  • Reflects the historical separation of EA Forum development before consolidation into the main ForumMagnum project
