ZiNgA BuRgA - Please, don't give up

Hi ZB,

Yep! the attitude at MyBB Community wears one down from time to time, if not most of the time. MyBB needs to stabilise its code for a long period and not keep upgrading and breaking everything that others have made for it. Blame the "Management" for the lack of / and loss of coders who were once interested in MyBB but eventually tired of continually upgrading their work, and for what? Just to do it all over again and again. MyBB and some of the dyed-in-the-wool senior members / mods there are of the opinion that MyBB is the greatest thing since sliced-bread! and seem to expect that everyone else should think the same; and that they should contribute a lot of time for not even so much as a thank you. Such as it is.

Even the Beta-Testers they ask to participate are treated like idiots by he who-sits-on-tall-buildings yelling to the world how good he is.

I dunno, I like to try different things at times, which is one reason why I've decided to move on.

Good suggestion, as any other experience is a valuable tool to build on.

Quote:My project, MyBBThemes, was not intended to be a competitor either. Not to all the big designers who can code. I was simply interested in giving the communities more themes, but people are making it a competition to see who can design the best, and the fastest. I'm not in it for that.

I agree with the fact that I also will be departing from the MyBB Community before long. I am losing interest in making themes, plus some of my experiences with the staff there haven't been the best. Not something I'd want to repeat.

I couldn't agree more, and that's why I've gone here - all by myself - doing my own thing.

I like to make themes, but I don't like the way parasites just come and take them without so much as a thank you for the effort one puts into these things.

MyBB also has nothing suitable to control access and downloads; but one day it may come of age if it can get enough slaves to do its bidding for little or no thanks.

End of Bitching!

Sorry to see you pulling the plug ZB - But after reading what I just wrote, I gave myself more reasons to do the same thing.
