Excactly chillin, your thoughts keep me busy almost every day! I so much wish the new infopop product will blast all other bbs away, but I know it's just wishfull thinking....
If you see how big other communities as vbulletin and phpbb are at the moment, then you realize that infopop will never be able to catch up with them! The bigger the community, the more people can help eachother and the faster a product grows and the more add-ons, mods and styles are created. Especially the care for the "design" is something that I always missed in .threads. Using the same icons/graphics/stylesheets for more then 5 years now is pretty sad
With this new product, I doubt that there will be any big changes. Also fusionbb still looks kinda old-fashioned. If only they could do something about that, I'm 100% sure it would be a great succes!! I'll keep an eye on them.
Right now I thinking about moving to phpbb. I've just installed a version on my site and so far I'm impressed. But before I would make a switch, I'll first wait for infopop and fusionbb. Maybe they'll will still be able to change my mind.
