This board sucks....

Anon

You guys need to upgrade, it's too confusing to reply and read replies.

Anon

Yes, you should get Ikonboard:
www.ikonboard.com
or
yabb(yet another bulletin board)http://www.yabbforum.com/
or
yabbse
http://www.yabb.info/
or phpbb
www.phpbb.com

anything but this

I agree, but this board in a way HAS to be simple.. Imagine how large the database for this thing is.. and if they add a bunch of "Bells and whistles" it won't run very fast anymore

I agree with Dean here. This board has to follow the KISS rule; Keep It Simple Stupid. People have problems working stuff in PHP, they don't need problems working a message board, too. 🙂

note the following: see how nobody said that it was too confusing to post on here, well here is my input, if you can't figure out how to post on here and reply then you need to get the heck away from it. Sorry but the facts are facts. I don't see how you can think you know php and not be able to work this forum thats like knowing how to drive a car but not knowing how to push the gas petal. I mean come on. It's a nie board and i don't understand why you are critisizing it (spelling but who gives). It wouldn't be the same phpbuilder.com that we know and love if you changed it to some retarded forum system like ikon. So shove it, get a life, and you probly need to stay away from this board from now on.

YOU MUST BE THICK IF YOU THINK THIS BOARD IS COMPLICATED

"you guys" have given up on phpbuilder a long time ago, there's nobody actually maintaining it anymore.

Apart from that, this forum is perfectly simple, and works like a charm.

The only major drawback is that the only way to find out wether someone has replied to a thread is by navigating to that thread.
Very annoying.

Luckaly YAPF does have email-notification of new replies, and a cute overview of the latest replies in threads you have replied/posted in.

A forum, a FAQ, email notification, what else do you need?

Time to YAPF!: http://www.hvt-automation.nl/yapf/

YEA I agree skripty. I think its great that this board is simple. I hate (With a passion) other sites that use a premade forum (i.e. Vbuilliten, Koni(or something like that)) so just write your own forum. I know its easy to just get one but comon flex your own muscels. Ok I <b>cannot</b> spell! This forum does follow the KISS rule. It could use a little color change but other than that its all good with me.

ermmm...
What about the new and 'improved' banner ads?

That's a major upgrade in and of itself.
And lord knows that PHP accounts for 99% of the porn sites on the web, so banner ad upgrades are essential.

Personally, I've talked to Tim (the flounder of this here board-thang) and not only is he an ABSOLUTE PRICK, but a total idiot as well.
Let's see...
He sold the site to Internet.com and STILL HAS A DAY JOB!

What a losing deal.
Not only is he still a wage slave, but this lil' baby of his is an anal-whore for Internet.com marketing reps.

But then again...
unlike me, most programmers can't make a good business deal to save their lives, which is the main reason I get the clientel I do.
Most common remark:
"you can speak our language"
...ya, because I know they only care about ROI and market share, not the actual damn code itself.

"What about the new and 'improved' banner ads? "

That wouldn't have anything to do with your portals project now would it? :-)

As for Tim, he seemed knowledgable enough when he was running phpbuilder, he just sold it to the wrong guys, probably because be wanted to get rid of it and could give a hoots ass about who bought it.

On the other hand, seeing how internet.com is treating phpbuilder, I'd say they were not that desperate to take it over, and they probably didn't want to pay much for it either.

Maybe you should write an FAQ: "business deals for dummies" :-)
