2010 Recap

In the foruming world what has been your highlights and lowlights?

 

Highlight - Joining AdminBB

Lowlight - Being Banned from a forum

 

Highlight - Joining AdminBB

Lowlight - Joining forums that are in-active

 

Thanks means alot

 

Np

Joining this forum means a lot to me

 

Lowpoint - Joining AdminBB ;D

Highpoint - Moving to MyBB on my birthday.
Lowpoint - Had a forum shut down because my host went under and I didn't have a backup. :/

 

Sad... yea I try to keep backups every 24 hours. By the way what was Dashing on before MyBB?

 

I think one of the high points for me, recently, has been the release of XenForo. I was getting really sick of vBulletin becoming more and more cluttered. With XF I feel like posting and running forums has become fun again. I will probably never move my "big board" to XF because it would mean a significant drop in revenue but I'll use it on all new projects.

 

Me and you both

 

High point of 2010 - Being made GFX Leader on AdminBB
Low Point of 2010 - Closing gamingisland.co.uk & opening .net forgetting to backup

 

Ahh didnt know the low point. Well GI is doing good.

 

High point: the awesome advancements the internal MyBB 2.0 theme mockups have made
Low point: watching several once stellar forums die (none my own, though)

 

Ahh interested now how mybb 2.0 will turn out.

 

Unfortunately you'll have to wait a bit. All we have right now are HTML mockups, not anything functioning yet.

 

Haha thanks for the info. Im with xenforo, but im just interested in MyBB because its the best free script and I use to use it.. xenforo is the best paid software I'd say. So yea 2.0 should be awesome, cant wait to see how it will turn out. Do you have a estimated time or anything? like years, or months?

 

No, no estimate yet - not even internally. It's hard to predict timing with a complete re-write like 2.0, and as it's still in planning currently, there's not really anything to gauge the timeframe by, anyway.

 

Ah I see, very interesting.. yea should take a while as it will be a complete re write. I hope the new Devs will do a good job.

 

Highpoint: Having a forum sposnored by a web hosting company
Lowpoint: Been hacked by turkish hackers -.-

 

Nice, and sad to hear

 

It;s sad some people are so stupid :-) Especially when they just random choose ebsites because they have the keyword "hellenic" or "greek" before community :-)
