UBB.Developers Forums General Discussion Chit Chat Is this the end of threadsdev?

I have done thousands changes to the templates of ubb.t and implemented lots of hacks and hundreds of changes. Also I have to maintain two more languages with every new release. Will all that work be lost? Do I have to start from scratch?

*lol* - i've been running bbs/forums for more than half a decade now, earlier i had some dialin-bbs, even multi-node bbs running with quickbb, remoteaccess and majorbbs. being one of the first-time-customers of an ultimatebb i'm used to start in a period of about 18 months from scratch, rebuilding the look&feel and usability by tweaking, hacking, patching and modifying by coding uncountable lines, removing and adding and de-bugging. so, this is MY JOB to keep the site up and running using future technologies, this is why my 13.000 users love me because i do take care about new features, a more stable and powerful and fast engine... it takes loads of times, sometimes i got rid of hacking things again, but on the other hand it's fun seing more and more useful features using a brighter technology...

so, i guess the new product will be some sort of downloadable eve including a hopefully modular structure to allow users to drag&drop new infopop-products&/features like an link-engine, an build-in myspace-file-explorer, a gallery, a build in chat-module and some cms-features to give that upcoming product (ubb.new7.x? adam *G* ?) an additional portal-feature to competite with pjp/postnuke... just some ideas but i guess this might be the way infopop is gonna do... :-)
