A big kudos to the past and current SMF team! It was a long tough battle to get through, but with a little persistence you all managed to make the release of 2.0 finally happen.
I know people will already be thinking ahead to the future at what comes next, but please take just a moment to appreciate the product we have now. It appears to be stable, secure, fast and customizable with a large selection of mods and themes contributed by many people from the community and SMF team. Most important, SMF is free, and it always will be.
It was a good time serving the SMF team for many years and I couldn't be more happy signing my name to finalize the transfer to an NPO. I think Simple Machines will have a bright future to come. The BSD license change will likely make things interesting and exciting for years to come!
Best of luck! Here's to 2.0!
