Forum Software Discontinued


shought

Recommended Posts

It has come to our attention that the forum software we have been using has been discontinued. An announcement on their company forums describes how several severe security issues have rendered the software suite unsafe for use and as such it leaves our server open to compromises. You can read the entire announcement in the post below.

We've narrowed the search for alternatives down to three options:
- Yazd (Demo: http://www.forum-software.org/demo/yazd);
- ProBoards (Demo: http://www.forum-software.org/demo/proboards);
- OSQA (Demo: http://meta.osqa.net/).

Please let us know which of the above you would prefer (I'll be creating a poll later today).

There will obviously be some inconveniences due to this change, but we're confident that we will overcome all of those.

Just to make sure everyone gets it: this was definitely an April fools' joke.

I've been involved with many forums, and that's why I had to try them myself. There is only one important thing, to build good - it must be easy to use and has a good look. And those security problems - forget once already - what have here safeguard?

See, this is the latest phpBB3 version 3.0.11 + my updates. True, it is still pending. Always is something to change, something update.

Actually never thought that this might be a prank. XD

I was too busy looking at the replacement cr*ap, wondering why did the visual bliss have to end. xD

Thought this year's prank was quite tame. -_-

We can't be 'taken down' by the authorities every year though ;) :P
