In October 2012, the website was completely replaced with a shinier, newer, completely re-written site based on Django (a Python web framework). Despite the shiny new design, we immediately regretted this decision. The site was put live before it was ready - features were missing and never were fully implemented on this generation, and large amounts of it relied on a completely new database schema, so all of the Members' Internal website tools broke with the replacement. It suffered in service for less than a year before it was retired on August 2013.

Sticking with the Python, Matt Windsor again went on an endeavour for a better website. With an entirely new codebase in Pyramid (another Python web framework) and SQLAlchemy, and a few shinifications to the actual design itself, this site went into production in August 2013, at the same time as our upgrade to Apache 2.4 and the replacement of Members' Internal with MyURY. Over the remainder of the Summer Holidays, MyURY was expanded to ensure it had capabilities to actually maintain this website, and so shiny Banner and Podcast systems were available and the site once again looked pretty.

The current version of the site, amusingly enough codenamed 2016-site, for it was started in 2016 but only released in 2018 (arguably still not finished...), was designed by Brooke Hatton and coded up by himself alongside (at various times) Matthew Stratford, Chris Taylor, Matt Windsor, Natalie Harris, Danny Roberts, and many others. Out went Python, and in came the modern programming language ''du jour'', Go. In between, MyURY was replaced by (read: renamed to) MyRadio, which feeds it everything - scheduling, podcasts, team info, you name it.
