The problem is the people they keep bringing in to develop and or for support. ALL are kids. There is ZERO Professionalism over there. They almost ( may have?? ) lost another contributor ( Aaron ) and thus plugin developer because the one kid overreacted. What makes it worse is they are contributing to the issues as well with flaming etc. They have ZERO tact and are extremely rude. Sorry but that crap does not belong on a support site. It makes the whole project look bad.

Go take a peak over there. It wont be hard to find who/what the issues are related to.

I know some are not gonna like this part of what i am about to say. All i can say is that if it upsets you then the chances are high that i am correct. Instead of getting upset and arguing with me you would be much better served just taking it all in and maybe correcting it IF by chance it does apply to you.

Hate saying it but ever since Chris Boulton took a step back the place has really started to go into the dumps. Chris needs to wake the hell up and understand that a 18/17yr old need not be leading such a project. Yes He has put a ton of effort into it ( probably more then anyone ) but he is not a leader and the age factor has alot to do with it and it shows well with all the issues going on over there. You question them and like kids they blow up, you don't agree with them and they blow up, They worry about their friends more then the project itself, You point out a issue and it turns into a battle till proven to be a actual issue. Then you add the load of schoolwork on top of doing this and yes it becomes too much to handle and like anyone with little experience they don't deal with it well. I am sure if they see this reply they will start up. Like all kids they HATE EVER admitting they are wrong and this is the biggest problem of all. Sorry but ALL is wrong at one point or another. Nobody is perfect.

Now i am NOT saying a kid cant run a forum but i am saying there is some things they should not be involved in without ANY adult influence around simply because they just cannot handle it never having been in the real world and thus interacting with older people etc. This is why you don't see this same shit at ANY of the other forum software sites. IF anyone has please do point it out and thus show me a example of it. Yes i frequent many of the others as well and know this to be the case.

And yes before anyone says it i know there is adults who act like kids as well. Usually though there is other adults around to correct the situation. We don't have that at MYBB ( if there is one would never know it by what is going on over there ) and thus the problems which seem to be getting worse.

And no i am not saying the whole team is bad either but there IS some problem people and issues that need to be addressed.
