I'd like to point again: my words are not the words of PunBB owners. I'm just a developer telling my personal vision "from here" and I'm trying to make the situation as clear as possible (as I understand in now and as far as I'm allowed to). No one should build long term plans and conclusion based on my words. Because only PunBB owners see all the picture and direct their resources here or there. There are official announcements they take responsibility for: 1, 2. That's all.

My personal nature is to be constructive: I'm finding and pointing out the ways Flux and Pun "can quite happily co-exist". That is why I'm here. Nothing more.

PunBB will become like Netscape Navigator, and FluxBB will become like Mozilla Firefox. Won't they?

IMHO, it is good analogy.

I hope so, when you think of the time and effort everybody, especially Rickard, put into PunBB I would hope it thrives. The important thing is the projects become distinct sooner rather than later.

PunBB is a recognised name. smile

Maintaining the two projects along have a sense ONLY if the core is different.
I agree with hcgtv : PunBB is dead, point. I don't see why Anatoly try to save the name "PunBB" as he admits there will be no difference between Punbb and FluxBB.
(beside, i'm pretty sure that extensions made by Anatoly's team would be more successful if named "extension for FluxBB" than "extension for PunBB").

A warranty is money. A serious talk to the developer is a joke, they don't care. The only thing that matter is money: what constitute a downtime? What constitute a data loss? How much am I getting paid for those?

And I know that MS is offering a lot (just think of MSDN or the Knowledge base) and also some phone support, yes.
And that the perfect software will be never born is also obvious to me. But when I pay for service (compare xt:commerce f.e.) and a bug is found, I expect the programmers to fix it asap.
And that is something I would expect. In an project like FluxBB I hope it is fixed asap, but I would never persist on it...
