I picked MySQL as well, but mainly because it's the database I am most comfortable with. I am quite aware that it lacks certain "enterprise features", but that doesn't really affect me. I also like the fact that MySQL works just as well on Windows as it does in *NIX-like operating systems.
I'm pretty intimate with MSSQL as well (which wasn't even on the list, I might add), but with MSSQL, I never quite feel as if I'm in full control.
Rickard goes by the Chinese calendar, which gives him till February 18 of 2007
Yes, did I forget to mention that? 
About documentation, the http://punbb.org/docs/install.html is not up to date :
There are several "1.2.12" in place of "1.2.14" (and a "12_to_1212_update.php" of course).
Sorry to only discover serious problems(note; the install.html file in 1.2.14 zip package is OK)
Updated. I must have forgotten it. Thanks.
Actually, my wife and I only had to wait 13 and a half hours in line to get ours at midnight.
ONLY?!
I'd like to get one as well, but right now, I'm leaning more towards an XBox360. That Gears of War just looks so pretty.
This reminds me of my English professor of the previous two years. All conversations during those classes were in English only (I'm from Belgium, Flanders to be more precise, so we speak Dutch) and whenever someone said just a single word in Dutch, she said she did not understand Swahili. lol
Which reminds me of my favorite line from Austin Powers - Goldmember:
- I'm from Holland. Isn't that viieeeerd?
My biggest gripe with ASP.NET, and this may very well be what you're referring to, is that the event model is realized using client side scripting. Now, I'm not sure there's really a way around this if you want stuff like viewstate, but it does have it's downsides. One such downside it that most ASP.NET apps just won't work with JavaScript disabled.
It also complicates things when you for example integrate a third party Javascript library into your app. I've been using Dojo Toolkit and one very cool feature of Dojo is its file upload capabilities. However, when using Dojo for this purpose, what you end up with is a mix of event based ASP.NET code and regular linear page logic in the OnLoad method (because Dojo doesn't know how to trigger a .NET event). It isn't very pretty.
It's from the same people who made http://mydreamapp.com/
I'm a big fan of .net, but asp.net drives me crazy (unfortunately I work for the company who does all of United Way's donation tracking software and its all asp.net). maybe its because I'm more of a windows .net guy but my biggest pet peeve about asp.net is that they try to make it "look and feel" like doing windows development, but when I create a window, it doesn't get built up and destroyed every time its drawn, but a "web control" does. they have a ton of "life cycle" stuff going on, and supposed to have "events" but I always just want to end up putting all my page logic in the OnLoad override like I would any normal server side procedurally loaded "page" which kind of defeats the whole purpose of what its supposed to be.
I agree, at least to some agree. I kind of like the event system though. I think it comes in handy especially when you have a very complex form.
Mark, I belive it stands for Alot of Stupid Problems ... most of the time followed by Mass Suicide.
./me starts praying for Rickards health and sanity
I've been doing this for a little over a year now. I haven't felt anything yet, but I guess mental illness creeps up on you without you ever noticing 
First, about money. Are you now splitting up donations and income from ads? Maybe just income from donations?
I'm keeping them for now. Think of it as salary for keeping the site up and running. We're saving up donations to give back to the community though. We've been thinking about having a style and extension competition when 1.3 is finished. I think a $500 price in each category should get the creative juices flowing 
Either that or maybe give away $100 for every security vulnerability that is reported during a month or so (and hope it doesn't exceed 10 ).
Also, with this move, are you ever planning on releasing a pay for version, or are you going to stick with the free version. Personally, I wouldn't mind paying for it if you ever decided to do that.
No pay version.
Well, Rickard is doing something in ASP (god have his sanity)
That's ASP.NET and there's a huge difference
You can find one in the extras-folder of the download.
Even if the field names "password" and "message" are reserved, it must be possible to somehow escape them. For example, in MySQL, you can use reserved names as long as you enclose them in ´backticks´. I believe Microsoft SQL Server does something similar but with [square brackets].
Moved into the modifications forum.
That's surprising (really). The stereotype I hear here in the U.S. tends towards the opposite, i.e. "Sveden ya!"
Well, I guess it works both ways sometimes
Hmm.. This must really be cause of your creepy accent, never heard it before around here
I'm talking national television. I hear it all the time. And my accent isn't creepy
The problem with supporting additional databases is not so much adding the initial support. It's the continued support that's hard. And we can't just drop support for a database down the road.

I love the part about "crappy haircuts and mis-matched retro skaterware"
what kind of commitment is it? I don't have a lot of time but meet the requirements.
That's entirely up to you. I just want someone to give it a go now and then over a week or two and report any problems to me. It's not quite ready for beta testing, but it should be in a few days.
One thing I must say though, I am always extremely impressed with your english, I am sure it is better than mine
Thank the Swedish government for not dubbing non-Swedish television shows and movies
I'm glad you brought up "Swenglish". I was actually planning on blogging about this, but I guess I'll write it down here instead. One thing in particular regarding Swenglish that annoys the hell out of me, is how Swedes have a tendency to confuse the letter v for w. Pretty much every day I hear someone on Swedish television pronounce MTV as MTWE, Windows Vista as Windows Wista or Eurovision as Eurowision. I throw up a little in my mouth every time I hear someone say it. I have no idea where this comes from. The letter W wasn't even properly included in the Swedish alphabet until earlier this year (going from 28 to 29 letters). I guess one potential cause for the confusion is the fact that the English translation of many Swedish words have v swapped out with w:
Vete -> Wheat
Vi -> We
Sverige -> Sweden
I don't know. Still bugs me though.
Anyone?
I'm looking for a couple of people to help me out with beta testing a commercial ASP.NET application. I can't really reveal all that much about the application, but it has to do with PowerPoint presentations. The ideal beta tester for this project is someone who
1. works for an organisation in which people author PowerPoint presentations on a relatively frequent basis.
2. has access to an ASP.NET 2.0 capable web server and knows a thing or two about how to install a web application in IIS.
3. is willing to help me out in tracking down bugs.
I understand that these criteria are a bit narrow. That's why I labled it the "ideal beta tester". Number 2 and 3 are crucial, number 1 not so much. If you would like to take part in this, please contact me. In it for you and your organisation is a free license once the application is released.
The project is not related to PunBB in any way.
Because we would have no use for it?
Yup, I got rid of the adsense ads here at punbb.org, so that's the reason they're not showing here at least.
Any of you running PunBB on SQLite? If so, is there any particular reason?
