Questions for team members

[Ryan Loos]

Staff members will start writing up their answers in the coming days, so if your question isn't here before then they will not be able to answer it.

Some great questions so far, feel free to ask more than one if you like.

No, MyBB has no origins with PHPBB, it was originally forked from XMBB but has since been totally rewritten, there is more history here http://www.mybboard.net/about/mybb

No it means while legally you may remove the MyBB copyright you will not receive support here as well as a few other draw backs if you do remove it.

Q1: How do you see Vbulletin and IPB leaving the basic "Message Board" function, to become "Social Network" scripts too?
Q2: Will mybb use such features in next major releases?

@All Staff: What forum software did you use before MyBB (if any)?

[Tim B.]

Basically you can't advertise it on these forums including showcase and your signature i think, of course as long as you leave the copyright there you are free to do so and will receive the same top quality support as always.
