A fun little feature of the forums is to take you to an interim page, when clicking on a link to an external webpage... we all know this, and it's a good thing, most of the time.
However, it seems like the forums don't understand that the GSWiki is still on the play.net domain, and goes to said interim "Now leaving play.net, waiting 15 seconds!" page before continuing on to the gswiki.play.net webpage. Is this something that can be fixed in the forum code, since the wiki is still on play.net?

So far as I know, this is being looked into. It requires people on-sight to do stuff though, so far as I know, and is probably not a huge priority.

Me: Updating is silly. Just remove the entire "feature" of 15 second redirect, please.
Solomon: Yeah, this is a throwback to the early days of interneting and something I've asked to be removed entirely.

Bump.
Is this really a big deal? It's quite archaic, and ought to be an easy technical fix. Are there really members of staff who are defending this redirect page in 2016?
