Goldi just banned Brian for an anti- Semitic remark.
Considering that she allows the unabashed slander of the entire Islamic faith, the hypocrisy is getting too much to take.
Let me know if you are going to license this software for use generally as you once indicated. I have had a hunger to start a forum for quite some time, and your software is far better then any other open source offering out there.

I've not released it for public use as of yet. I'm unsure if I'll go through with that, but I am hosting new forums myself at a cost I think is reasonable. (Pinguinite.com has info on that). Releasing to the public means creating an installation program and efficient upgrade system for remote users anytime there are changes and that's one of the reasons I'm in not so much of a hurry. I'm also uncertain of the financial benefit for me over just having my own forum shop,
But I'm open to working with people to have it work with them in any particular arrangement. If a ton of people would want to run it themselves on their own servers, then I'll work in that direction. It's just a question of efficient economics. Forums I host are always running the latest and greatest without any special effort from me. If it's hosted remotely, I would probably need to be called in from time to time to fix things and/or do upgrades and stuff which I would bill for.
Or if licensing would not be under GPL, but by fee then that's another thing, but being the lousy salesman than I am and always have been, I don't think attaching a price for it's use is something I can persue on any scale. It would be tough enough for a real salesman, I think. But if you're serious, send me a note and we'll talk.
Thanks, I shall. There is an entire dormant online community that is lamenting not having a home anymore that used to be at Time.Com /Politics.
In any event, it is good to see you open this venue. And it will be getting my article posting business from now on, and I look forward to seeing it grow and develop. Not to mention helping it do so in whatever small ways I can.
Missed? I did pay a visit on LP within the last couple weeks to help celebrate Badeye's 60,000th post. Didn't want him to pass that milestone without some recognition.
Yeah, but I was only an infrequent poster until I got banned from TOS last April...I know you and Goldi have your differences, but I think she does a decent job keeping that place from being over-moderated. Playing webmaster ain't a job I'd ever want...MUD
