Nothing much to report,

patches to use OOJS, changes to hide/delete/suppress topics
still working on Cirrus search in a board
cache issues, we occasionally have topics in cache that aren't in DB so we run a purge script.

#142 (Citoid deployment) moved a little bit, still waiting on Alex K. He said he'd work on it today or tomorrow
Nothing much going on, breaking things at the regular pace. Probably landing a big scary change on Thursday
