I think the plan is to give away the razor and charge for the blades.

PunBB will remain free but Extensions will cost money down the line. It's the only viable way I see to keep PunBB going, since the staff of PunBB are paid employees, not volunteers.

And then one day you find two years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

I thought I was dreaming

Congrats to everyone involved, from Rickard to the current team.

Yes, I agree, it's gotten much better than it was at first.

Well, you seem to be the project leader. I would address it to your boss, but he prefers to stay behind the scenes.

I emphasized open because it's very important, and it doesn't just mean the code base. Open communication is more important to a project than having anonymous SVN access. Anyone can spit code out for all to see, it's those projects that first and foremost value transparency that garner the strong community. An excellent example of this is Joomla!, when they split from Mambo, they opened up to their community, what ensued was nothing short of amazing.

Anatoly, Slava, Roman and Mikhail. If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

I'm learning it at this point, using it as my personal forum and at a new project we started.

I await the finished conversion script, so I can convert my last 2 PunBB forums.

All Phorum needs is a slick template, just haven't had the time to make one.

Automattic raised $29.5 million in a Series B Round of funding.

Also, it comes down to leadership. Dries Buytaert and Matt Mullenweg took their respective code bases to new heights. What they started, they finished.

Had Dean Allen continued with Textpattern, when he branched off to form Textdrive. We would have a very different landscape in the CMS/Blog world this day.

That's a question that only Anatoly and his fellow programmers can answer. Speaking as a long time community member, I would like to see the project stick around for the long haul. As for top of the heap, that's only going to come about when a forum realizes that they are just one part of the big picture and starts making it easier to integrate itself with a CMS, Blog, Gallery, Wiki or any other application a web developer needs to fuse together.

Ahh, so your only a community organizer

The larger and more complex the system, the more questions and problems will arise. That's why I stick with simple systems.

You should hire someone with broad based experience. Anyone can memorize the backend of Drupal or Wordpress, but throw them MODx and see what he or she can accomplish.

Addons can be a security nightmare, a lot of the attempts to crack into PHPXref are using known Mambot vulnerabilities. But I hear you and addons, if really needed, can be useful. But more often, addons are thrust upon users that don't really see the need for them.

Mike, remember one thing, this is Open Source and it plays by different rules than commercial software. Where number of users counts for bottom line revenue for vBulletin, a project like PunBB was created and nurtured out of personal love of programming. Rickard never imagined it would garner the number of followers it did and he never marketed the product, it was the community that pushed it out there.

Nice, really nice.

As for the copyright, Rickard had already stated a while back that it was fine to remove it and PunBB 1.2.19 does not contain the line in a default install.

Anatoly,

The PunBB trunk copyrights update makes the changed files zip contain more files than were actually changed due to issues found.

I think it would be better to have the changed files zip only to contain what files need updating, this would speed up the adoption of these security patches.

Also, should this release announcement be on the front page?

Thanks.

Avatars seem to be broken.
