Smarty concern is very simple. people have been happy the way Rick and team handled and supported users and development. With limited information of ownership change, people are bit worried about its future path. While there are assurances from the original team, the way acquisition was communicated is probably  causing a panic. Remember similar issues with UBB was acquired, incidentally name of the guy behind ubb was also Rick additionally committing that Rick will pork out if necessary adds the uncertainty.

If as a user, I am using punbb, today I don't know, if next versions will be available for free? will it become a paid software? will developers really continue with same dedication? (while assurances are there), and Qs like these are not answered. Like if I am starting a new board today, I will have a hesitation to use punbb, as I do not know whether "future versions" will remain free? or it will take route of minibb....its bit of a risk for my forum if I don't know the future impact of these changes

May be some one from the new company coming to these forums and announcing their vision would have helped to clear many of these concerns. Keeping everything under wraps is what creating these ripples, confusion and slowly loosing confidence.

To give an excellent way of communicating sudden changes I suggest you go thro http://thevbgeek.com If Rick would have communicated in similar fashion taking the community in full confidence, people would have welcomed it with open mind.

just my few cents

I read the entire thread If you can read between the line....there is no garuntee that future versions will be free

thank you so much serina, I am no way a programer from any angles so trying to learn things slowly

Thanks for the pointers, I will work on them

I will chip in too

It looks quite interesting! I don't know whats your plan, but I am keenly interested in something like article manager where posts can be displayed as multipage article (similar to GARS for VB)

Will this be a feature in near future?

Are these spam bots by any chance?
