Simple Machines Restructuring

[Arantor]

Especially when you consider my first post was April 9th, 2009 - yes, that means I've been posting for just under 10 months.

[Orstio]

Actually last post was October 20, 2009 and Arantor isn't far away from catching up to [Unkown] in posts

Yeah, but Arantor wasn't writing SMF 1.0 while making all of his posts.

[catfished]

I remember when I converted my IPB forum to SMF and joined this community, [Unknown] was one of the first people to reply to my support requests. Another one I remember is Oldiesman.

Considering how long I've been a member of this community (Date Registered:December 06, 2004) and my post count, I guess I'm the opposite of a "POSTWHORE". I'm still trying to get past Junior Member status.

[Arantor]

True enough, though in that 9 months I did also release 45 (small) mods.

And my posting has slowed down while I write SimpleDesk.

I think it's great Kindred got promoted to Project Manager. My mind is actually a bit at ease now that I know someone who is, IMO, trustworthy, is now PM.

Congratulations Kindred! ^_^

[Garou]

Its nice to know that whatever happens, in the end SMF will strive to continue to be the best and then to be even better.

[gisfreak]

hem, i hope for the best. 

stick to this thread...

Indeed, lets hope he's not alone in wanting to get changes done. A team after all, are only the sum of its parts - not just one person.

[Jorin]

One outcome of this [...] will lead to other projects under the SimpleMachines umbrella.

Congratulations.

Will this mean there is a chance to build a better base for the contact between Simple Machines LLC and local support forums for SMF?

Avoidance of recognition of some problem - for example Gulf War syndrome or the like - in order to officially bury (hide) a possible problem and thus avoid accusations, investigations or liability.

Have a nice day. 

Is Echelon working on SMF?

[Kindred]

I am not sure what you mean Jorin...   There is only one official SMF support site, and that is simplemachines.org. There may be other sites which run SMF and know about programming in PHP and/or support SMF mods and themes. However, all official SMF support comes from this site.

CultureGlue,  Echelon?

[CultureGlue]

I quoted the first reply in this topic.. And the topicstarter tried to explain why smf is not open source. If you look at the first reply you can see he is suspicious about that fact.

Echelon is a project to monitor us all! Cellphones, creditcardinfo, surfing, surveillance camera, what we buy

Big Brothers real name

And it is real!

Yeah, I know that. I only wish there could be more than just a friendly ignorating of these sites. Maybe a list in the admin control center with links to the best known sites for portals, themes and such. Or a list here at your site. Or any possible kind of working together, sharing (personal) ressources and ideas for coming releases.

That's what I meant. Not really necessary, but would be nice to have and could give a feeling of community without borders. 

[Garou]

Generally the best known sites for portals, themes and such would be here at SMF itself. There are support threads for every 3rd party modification that has been officially submitted to, tested by, and deemed stable by SMF. There should be no need to go anyplace else for support and no way for SMF to monitor it.

That said if a developer is providing support for something they have created on another site for sometimes valid reasons they  will provide a link within their profile, the support page, and or in the distribution package itself.

[Jorin]

Sure, you're right. Maybe really the best way, as all modifications are here in the download sector and also have their own support thread.

Anyway...I don't know who Unknown is. Sounds like he's a legendary around here...

He is the God of Smf.

Anyway...I don't know who Unknown is. Sounds like he's a legendary around here...

He is the God of Smf.

Because...? He post alot, he's from the dev team, he help people?

No. He is the chosen one. (just kidding).

the team itself making these changes intentionally or this change is a decision forced by outside the team? I'm not clearly understand that.

Change was forced on the team .

Joke?
