It is certainly not a suprising change, and doesn't seem unreasonable in itself. I've seen a lot of people complaining that they shouldn't have to pay for the software. That's clearly up to Invision Power Services. It was never an open source model.

However...

Yes, we're pushing our paid services harder, but we're still offering a free product that is fully functional. This has always been our vision and it's not going to change. "They" said 1.1 wouldn't be free, it was. "They" said 1.2 wouldn't be free, it was. "They" said 1.3 wouldn't be free, it was. "They" say 2.0 won't be free - and it will be.

How many times do we have to prove "them" wrong?

That's cached here, and has since been deleted from the IPS forums...

When people say they've been lied to, I'd have to agree, and that doesn't seem so reasonable. Still, life goes on.

Am I correct in thinking that the password hashes from IPB 1.x would be compatible with PunBB?

If so, a good solution for those converting from IPB 1.x to PunBB via the IPB 2 upgrade could be to grab the password hashes before upgrading to IPB 2, and drop them back into PunBB after the conversion. I think that'd work?
