UBB.Developers Forums General Discussion Suggestions and Feedback Questions for Ted O'Neill@Infopop, and Scream

Gerrit hit it right on the money....so to speak.

Quality and reliability of the product are what most of us are concerned about. The thing that was the deciding factor for alot of us who have chosen to build our entire community around this W3T scriptset is the man....Rick Baker....and the community that aligns itself with him and his work.

We all know it's the community working with him that makes it possible, but it's his devotion to the community that has made this product what it is. If he had just set the scripts out on the web and gone about his life without all the hacks and alts he's done....and all the work all of you have contributed....this W3T would be just another wannabe.

I have to agree with Gerrit though.....that we will just have to wait and see if InfoPop can take on the role of a big brother and not a corporate Big Brother. I only hope Rick doesn't find his codebase....and his years of work....swallowed up and taken out of his control. Me and my staff would like to see this project reach it's potential and I think that is what Matty is projecting with his words and thoughts as well.

There's a whole new world opening up to W3T here.....how it is used will determine whether W3T is absorbed into the UBB machine....or kicks it's tail down the list of most popular scriptsets....like you can't see where my money is bet, huh? {:o)

I'm sure Mateo is working on a new list of wishes for the next major upgrade as we read this..... {:o)

BTW - CEO Ted.....I have to agree with some of the comments about the new name " UBBThreads" being objectionable.

I really get a funny feeling seeing the UBB attached to the W3T name. I know brand recognition is critical, but a killer product will cross pollinate without all the obvious brand infiltration, don't you agree? What if every General Motors car had a GM in front of the Chev or Olds or Caddy?

Let W3T stand on it's own name....and UBB on it's own name....it shows you have confidence in the products you sell not to need a crutch to support each other...ya'know?

It's been great fun, guys.....let's hope for the best and do what we can to make it happen....Bobby.
