Congratulations to both of you.
Without this entire operation, people like me would be in the dark and running a bulletin board.

[Beelzeboss]

[Pyrhel]

Where can we find more what's the role of the PM here?
With this position rook, will the regular users, like me, see any change, like speedup development?

[ModelBoatMayhem]

 Congrats 'n all that!
What projects are planned for SMF?  🙂

[Mike66]

Great stuff, thanks both of you and to all the team 

In this world of crazy social media and all that it brings with it ..... SMF really is something special and we don't say thank you often enough!

The PM role is greatly an overseer and arbitrator role - Not so much a director role.

Congrats 'n all that!
What projects are planned for SMF?  🙂

SMF has plans for a 2.1 release in the future, also some smaller projects are ongoing that are dependent on that 2.1.
SMF in itself is a project though, so the greatest plan is to continue I guess

Uh, no. Being a member here for ten years you should already know SMF is developed and supported by volunteers working in their free time, which most team members don't have a lot of.

Wow, Aleksi, congrats!!

I think I have been following this forum and using SMF longer during Illori's "reign", so have to thank you

I can't even image how much time you have to use for SMF, since only running a couple of forums for me is already a huge volunteer work.
Really appreciate what you do.
