dont see what people are so worried about, SMF have made an announcement that there will be restructuring, and some how thats been turned into the day the world ends...... erm WTF, the idea from that, that people have gotten that SMF is about to shut down and close up shop..... bemuses and amuses me

as far as i can see SMF have announced there will be changes and some people are throwing in a few sniping comments (sour grapes perhaps) but other than that its just SMF stating there will be changes made to try push smf forwards and onwards -

new software + new theme + new year + new changes = progression in my eyes

and untill there is announcement stating SMF is shutting down then i dont see how folks are claiming the end is nigh

Thanks for letting us know. I hope everything goes smoothly.

Best of luck :)

People''s perceptivities are relative. (We all read different things through the lines of the announcement.)

Personally I really hope that things will take a turn for the better as I still care a lot about Smf.

Some read it like it is meant, some read between the lines, some try to read between the lines but fail,
some hope this is something, and others know this is something. Everyone has their own point of view,
and their own way of thinking. On top of that, the announcement was pretty vague, and strangely put together -
so you can pretty much expect confusion...

In this instance, anything negative is most likely to be wrong. I want to know how people found SMF going down.

..Apologetics for SMF... lol

Arantor

I've been using it since 1.1 RC2, and not once looked back at other software. I'd also hate to have to try integrating a SimpleDesk-like package into anything else...

Interesting topic.

I find it concerning to see so many people concerned.

Reading this does make people like myself wonder what the heck is happening. I really like using SMF but when you read all of this and hear some rumors it does make you wonder.  IMHO

bjraines

I guess the question is
1) why is their a need for restructuring
2) if their is a need, why does it need to be made public
3) what does jerm know that we don't that made him run away

Owdy

jerm hasnt run away. What makes you think that?

Don't believe everything you have heard/read unless it's from the official SMF Team or Founder.
"There is no god, and that's the simple truth. If every trace of any single religion were wiped out and nothing were passed on, it would never be created exactly that way again. There might be some other nonsense in its place, but not that exact nonsense. If all of science were wiped out, it would still be true and someone would find a way to figure it all out again."

As long as the software works, does it, really, matter?
