UBB.Developers Forums General Discussion Suggestions and Feedback NOOO YOU CANT DO THIS

Ted and Rick,

I think I know what everone's concern is... It isn't we arn't going to get a good product especially since we know Rick will still be the head programer...

The issue is that we have come to enjoy working with Rick and his prices are very fair and understand... Especially for those of us who run a non-profit web site and all money spent on the web site comes from our pockets..

I do think Infopop will be able to help support the w3t system... However one of the biggest advantages w3t has had... was the community support. The people who use the product are more then willing to help each other out and new people out as well. We don't want to lose that.

I know I really don't want a product where if I have questions or suggestions it takes 20 people to decide on weather to answer it or take the suggestion and grow with it... Currently it is 1 person who makes all the choices I believe... I currently work for the government... and watch all the loops they have to go through just to get an i with a dot above it is a pain in the butt.

What I would really suggest you all do before you announce this merger offically is come up with an FAQ or something explianing what is going to happen... What changes Infopop will do that will change the way the software is developed. Also come out with a reasonable pricing system.

There is alot that needs explaining cause I know alot of us who use w3t are using it cause it is the better product out there for BBS/Forum systems. I had the choice of going with UBB... But I don't like how it works... I had a choice of using YABB but... I wanted something that was good... What I am affraid of is losing this product and it as someone else has said... yes in the begining being 2 seperate product but in the end going down to 1 product leaving most of us wanting something better...

That is my 2 cents... I will continue to use w3t and will continue to call it w3t... I will watch how the merger will go... but if it does look like it goes down hill... I wont hesitate to pull out and find something else if not create something on my own. So Rick... keep up the great work and Ted... Please attempt to understand where most of us come from and realize we had a choice of going with UBB or W3T and we picked W3T...
