Agreed. Back when I first started running boards (~2006) it seemed like a chat room or at the very least a shoutbox was damn near required to keep...
I had been working with Joomla quite a bit recently. My client had me replace his WP install with it and swore up and down it was better. I told...
I'm one of the XF converts. I still find it interesting that feature for feature vB 4 has more than XF. However, vB 4 is dead and XF keeps...
Except for major things like platform switches I'm usually a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants type of guy. Last year, I fleshed out adding a WP power...
At first it was all out of pocket mostly on credit cards. A few people sent donations early on which made me feel awesome about all the work I was...
I found that yearly billing was a helluva a lot easier than trying to go month to month. A first we started off with a 6 months term. One guy...
I'm not big on TV news either. A lot of it is fluff peices that they advertise to get to watch the news. Last night I was clearing recordings...
Never trust a man who doesn't drink coffee or like dogs! :D I drink 2-3 large cups in the morning. Usually I'll have a big iced coffee or two at...
I too like owning things. For me the biggest issue with SaaS is can I get my data out any old time I want without asking or jumping through...
Congrats to the developers but I don't understand the economics of it. The valuation is way off base IMHO
I don't know about that. Look at how far behind their installs are. I'm guessing IB has their in house devs patch up the old versions to maintain...
+1 a million times over. The people first concept took me the longest to grasp when I started running boards. If there is a sense of community...
Most of IB's money making boards are still on 3.x. It's far fetched but what if the plan was to tank their competition by putting out crappy...
I think IB has learned not to talk up new releases because nothing works right out of the box. They get a whole bunch of angry customers anytime...
I don't know how similar Discourse is to the software powering Stack Exchange sites. Because Discourse is ROR it doubtful that I'll ever run an...
Same here. Except for PurevB (who does awesome work - cannot wait for them to start doing XF skins) nearly everyone I used to work with on the...
I'm with @CM30 on this one. The sig spammers and one liner posters that add absolutely nothing to community are the reasons I shy away from all...
Most definitely. The only constant in life is change. Some new company will come up with an awesome way to index and search the web to supplant...
Never read the release notice before coffee Translated in my mind to 1.2.5 being a major release with add-on breakage and me promptly searching...
Xenforo's download is pretty large too. I forget the size exactly ~5 MB. I usually upload the whole zip then extract and move the files server...
