Upgrading from RC2 to 1.0 can take a while, they probably ran into some problems with the conversion script or something. It's not an end though, it's a beginning. ;)

I've been keeping some track of Ikonboard, they might be switching to a paid board. I hope phpBB stays up.

Huh? :confused:

Anyway, their forum is up again now. They were busily coming up with an uglier template set... fortunately the old better template sets will be included in the final release also.

Niels was the original creator of OpenBB. I didn't know you could fire your creator... funny.

Maybe he's going to make OpenBB 2 into a paid forum or something.

well Niels the fired person is only young he probably has school to go to and got tied up in that but it is a shame he has the full rights to it!

Yes, Niels leaving means OBB 2 is gone, unfortunately. However, since Niels had been off by himself working on OBB 2 since about November, and it's been Ace and co. working on taking OBB 1 from beta through to 1.0, it makes little difference for OBB 1.

At least people can't say OBB is run by a 14 year old anymore. ;)

I don't either, much anyway.

But boards like UBB suck! Free PHP ones are much better and it costs more than vB!!! $200

Yes, I had made a post earlier.. Shortly thereafter, Niels rejoined the team. Looks like Niels rejoined the team after all.
