Yes, it works with SQL Server 08
Do we not need the Database Schema ??
Finnaly got my server working and I must say you guys have done a good job on it! You have done allot.
PunBB.NET demo is available here
Demo: I must say that it loads very nice - good speed - smooth transition. Nice job.
Never tried PunBB, yet I got to love it very quickly, for it's simplicity and ease of costumization.
I still prefer PHP that's a non-Micro$oft language. And because I alredy understand and know how to deal with it 
Still good news for those that like it 
Thx you guys
We've just opened our SVN with all the information about PunBB.NET.
http://punbb.informer.com/punbbnet/svn
(I promise that comments we will write in English only ).
what a shame... you would better work on pure PunBB instead of shitty NET -.-
Working on .NET is a good side path for Punbb which has a rather large development team.

I wouldn't go so far as calling .NET shitty, it's better than ActiveX any day of the week.
What I call shitty is the way Microsoft lured Anders Heljsberg away from Delphi so he could create C#. Anders was like a programming God to many of us, by him selling out, he lost his aura, he lost his glow. The .NET platform was more about slowing Sun's Java than to give me or you a really nice programming language, it's the way M$ works, protect the cash cow (Office) at any and all costs.

Did you mean to say sidetrack 
I know that the PunBB team could do anything they desire, after all, this is Open Source, scratch your own itch and all that. But creating a .NET equivalent of PunBB sends the wrong signal.

So, it's the fault of M$ and not the programmer who, (one can only assume), buggered off purely and simply for money, (or some other equally shallow motive)?

I doubt the overall Pun image can be tarnished much further than it already has been.

Btw, can we please have the bog standard quote system reinstated. This damned quick quote setup is highly annoying.

Here is an Anders Hejlsberg tribute page I put up back in 1998. The majority of the links are dead, but I saved the message that Anders sent to Compuserve on his departure and Chuck Jazdzewski's Usenet posting about Anders.

I guess it proves what we'd been told on the Flux forums.
please, though, surprise me, but i'm interpreting this as writing-on-the-wall for php-centric punbb. i came to these forums to grab documentation on the 1.3 api to write some extensions, but i'm put off now.
Same there. I was feeling bad I didn't find the time to finish my extension, now I'm pretty happy with that... When I saw this PunBB.Net news I almost had an heart attack. Now I just need to find another OS BBS...

All you guys who are so discouraged because of PunBB.NET should understand that this project will make absolutely no harm to PHP PunBB. I've already wrote it here, but it seems to me i should do it again. PunBB and PunBB.NET are two separate projects. If you don't want to support PunBB.NET it's your choice. And we assure you that PunBB.NET won't replace PHP PunBB.

I think you should finish your extension
Since there are 2 developers working in punbb.net that are not working on punbb.org, there is the loss for punbb I think. Why have 2 teams while could have one bigger more powerfull team?
Also, punbb 1.3 took so long to launch, and now I don't see a punbb 1.3.3 until maybe the end of 2009. I will rather see more mod finished and maybe an upgrade routine that does not truncate all of your 1.2 forum text in your DB(migration to UTF-8 is broken and should not ship).
Of course there is place for all programing languages, but maintaing 2 code base is like shipping a forum with custom implementation of php5 in php4, a lost of time in my view. "Reuse as much as you can" should be the idea.
Good luck and let see how this evolves

I'm sad to see your development team broken in half, this will only slow down PunBB development. I've never heard of a company support a web product for 2 platforms. 
Especially if you try to keep them at the same level with the same features, I just dont see that working out good at all. Building more extensions for PunBB would of increased its popularity a lot more than any .NET version.
PHP and .NET programming skills are very different. PunBB.NET devs are not too good in PHP and we are not good in .NET. So we couldn't just join .NET-team to PHP-team - this would be useless. And vice versa.
So why don't you hire two more php devels? I have no problem against ASP, but I only have fear that punbb 1.4 will take the same time to develop that 1.3 did.
If .net developers are not hired, then just ignore this message
Very nice indeed.
I must say, .NET 1 seemed a bit crappy, but I've had a chance to use .NET 3.5 at work, with VS2008, and it is AWESOME
Also note that it is not ASP, but ASP.NET. Worlds of difference between them
