...And we'll release within a couple of months after their gold version, hopefully. (Ideally, a couple of weeks. But I don't know where we'll be when they release. If I'm right in the middle of integrating AeMe and I still have dozens of bugs, we can't release obviously. Same for blog support, etc.)

If it were anyone else this would be possible, but them?  We might be lucky if we see SMF 2.0 Gold this year although I'm really hoping I'm wrong.

Well besides when they release 2.0 gold so that wedge can start releasing :-P
That's all I go there to check for nowadays.
Basically the same for me.  I stopped looking at the forums (not that I posted) back around when Nao was post banned and all the AeMe threads were merged.
Bender: Ahhh, what an awful dream. Ones and zeroes everywhere... and I thought I saw a two.
Fry: Don't worry, Bender.  There's no such thing as two.

Do you mean there are people who actually got hurt just as much as I got hurt by the SMF team's behavior at the time? :sob:

Last year saw a lot of people, mostly good people, getting hurt. We were far from the only casualties.

Oh yes, that I know and sympathize.
But I just didn't think that someone would take offense for seeing me banned. I thought most people didn't even notice... :^^;: (Since the fact that I'm banned is one of the subjects that is subject to a potential ban over there............)

It's not, I've made mention of it more than once, usually in response to people asking for support.

Well, they locked topics at the time just because it was mentioned.

I don't really remember, I just know it was handled badly.

It was really.... not pretty.

Then again, have you ever seen the SMF team handle a crisis in a pretty way?

Not since a long, long time ago when there were different people in charge, judging by the archives of the team discussion boards.

I wasn't directly hurt by them, but I thought the way they handled the situation was just really not the best way at all or even close.  So I pretty much stopped watching the thread after that and moved over to reading the AeMe section at Noisen.  I definitely think there are people who got hurt by it.  I don't know if as much, but enough to completely forget about going to the SMF forums in my case.  Personally I only go there now when an update comes out, so yeah not too often.

Yes I definitely did notice if only because I read about what happened over at Noisen.  Though even if I hadn't I'd of probably found out eventually.

Not that I've ever heard about and just the fact they'd ban the creator of the most popular mod for their software just shows how they really don't think about the consequences of their actions or even the actions themself sometimes.

In the end what they did to you and the fact there hasn't really been any new development to SMF (New Features) in a few years now made my decision to switch to Wedge when it comes out extremely easy and a very fast decision.  Pretty much "Simple math."  :lol:

The reason i chose to switch is the fact that arantor wad hands down the most helpful person on sm.org, and he teamed up with the author of THE top mod. I tend to side with the one that volenteerily works to be the best they can be. There is no doubt in my mind wedge will be one of the top brands for forum type software if not the best within 1 year of debut. And i will consider it an honor for their copyright to reside at the bottom of every page view once im able to covert to wedge software. Keep up the kick ass work guys, just dont get too stoned in the english channel, save some for me. :)
LOGIC is a FOUR letter word! :)

@Pete> Yeah... 'twas a different team. Their names shall remain to me as those of the true builders of SMF. Those who actually made it into a worthy platform.
The new generation is in... And it didn't have to do a single effort to get the platform to what it is now. All it has to do is maintain it. And they can't even do that... And to add insult to injury, they can't even handle the human aspects of the job. Yeah.... Good job indeed! ::)
