Cool. Did you know that vBulletin currently has only 7 people working on the entire project?:)

...and since John is one of them, I suggest we use my forums instead of this one.:D

It's in my signature.

we have to make this forum very very customizabe. we should try and make a built in chat room for each forum too. it seems that everyone at VBW is doing good with the one they set up. I know some java, and i am sure if i brush up on it and learn a little more i could make a cool chat applet.

hmm...for some reason, doesn't having a chat applet make the forums obsolete?:confused:

This forum chat is nice because it use the account of the forum :)

We could make a seperate chat app that can be intergraded into the forum and promote them as 2 products

A Spell Checker! that is a must for our forum. I can't spell worth **** and there are like no forums that have a spell checker (that I have seen)

Not a spell checker

it will make everything too slow.

Read the posts in forum feedback about spell checker...

i don't think john will mind, nor will he try to borrow our ideas :p

We could make it an option (someone clicks the spell checker button and it checks etc...)

yeah nah

It is a waste. Most people don't care.

If you care that much about your spelling and grammar, paste it into word before you post it :rolleyes:

I don't care that much.

Okay no spell checker :)

good

we're starting from scratch, yes?

I think so, if we run into problems we can allways look at openbb to figure it out.

Just what to start with is a problem :rolleyes:

Maybe start by making a basic forum with catagorys and then work on adding all the cool features. meanwhile eiSecure can work on a cool design and sail can help out with what he knows so far. I'm allmost done my php book.

also since not everyone is happy with "PhatBB" think we should still disscuss the name I guess for now we can use PhatBB and at a later time maybe when we are almost done can make a cool name that suites the forum

Aight, perhaps over my thanksgiving break i will start working seriously on this forum.

that's my christmas break...

I'll do alot of work on my christmas break..

ditto

we gotta start posting useful stuff. i don't want this moved to chit chat.

Here's a demo control pannel from vBulletin. It's pretty good.

http://vbulletin.com/admindemo/admin/

Login with both username and password as "admin".

Does the OpenBB GNU license permit us to use their code?

well, i don't want to use others code anyway. we gotta get a fresh start.

Of course!

What I'm saying is that we can look at how they've got their MySQL tables organized and how they used GZLib and stuff.:)

ok, i was expecting that we would do that. ;)

At least the light version...

We don't have to use their tables all we need to do is look and see how its all done then make our own (even if they look identical lol)

*ahem* been done *ahem*

nope, you can get that from

No, it's not vBulletin Lite. It's Woltlab's Burning Board.

Pretty dodgy :p
