Smart kids are all-powerful behind their keyboard. They can spell hypochondriasis!

Or at least they don't admit they looked it up on Wikipedia. Because they're smart. See?

First up, I like the name Wedge. It's strong and it makes good sense.. in more than one language.

Secondly, I want to show my complete support and excitement for what you are both doing here. Standing up for your ideas. And creating something worthwhile out of something that ended up so hostile. I for one will be whole heartedly supporting this project.

I have fought an uphill battle with SMF for near on 4 years now. A lot of the time I've been so frustrated by their decisions and their whole dynamic that I felt like giving up. The thing is I've pigeon-holed myself into SMF as it's a structure and layout I'm so familiar with. For something that started out so strong and promised so much, I feel very let down. I'm left wishing I'd opted for phpbb *shudder* back at the beginning of my site launch.

I will be watching very closely as you near your first release and will look forward to a future of eventually migrating my community to a strong, vibrant Wedge release.

Thanks

Or maybe there's another, unknown but much better fork waiting until 2.0 release before announcing itself :niark:

It's possible, but somewhat unlikely, I think.

I like the name Wedge.

If you are not familiar with Dick Dale, the king of surf Guitar, listen to his tune called The Wedge.

The Wedge was was also a Mopar motor - see image below

And so the forum software name seems appropriate to me.

I suspect this is the truth. I only went with SMF because of the simple fact I was used to administrating it and SSI.php made bridging it easy for the lazy (e.g. me). I doubt there will be another serious fork on the scale of Wedge in regards to SMF unless Jeff Lewis or Unknown starts one.
