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

Ole Brewskie's gonna chime in here.....

I agree with everybody that the main reason to buy and keep w3t has been Rick. He is simply the best developer I have yet to see. In support, and development you can't find a better person.

I looked at infopops lineup before I started using w3t a long while back. And, to put it bluntly, I thought infopops lisencing truly sucked. And it still sucks. The infopop lisence is so draconian that you can't even remove their stupid logo and copyright notice from your board.....which you have to pay dearly for in the first place. It's obvious to me that infopop is another one of those small companies trying to look big....and charging like the big boys. I would wager it will be only a small matter of time before w3t is priced in the stratusphere...I mean all you have to do is compare the feature list of UBB with w3t and then look at what they charge for UBB. Believe me.....w3t is gonna really cost you some money to use.

There may be a lot of good thoughts for the great work Rick does with w3t but my feelings are greater for my web site, which I have spent countless hours developing. My priorties lie with my site and my regular visitors. And like most sites it is a labor of love and not of money. How many people here are actually making money off their site? A very small percentage are! Like with me.....I don't make a dime off my site.....why would I want to put up with infopop's crap, which is surely to come?

Naw....I'm gonna have to pass on the future of w3t unless infopop changes their act.
