So i plan on changing the structure of mybb's standard threaded system. I want to replace for example newthread.php with newgossip.php and memberlist.php with peoplelist.php... and others too. This whole change will be based on a game for smartphones and users that join pay for being part of the town structure of the game. I know i wont be able to get support by doing this but, i will always keep the Powered By <a href="http://mybb.com/" target="_blank">MyBB</a>, © 2002-2014 <a href="http://mybb.com/" target="_blank">MyBB Group</a> , at the footer of my game system, and when i am profitable to donate to mybb for helping me make the game possible. With the above named changes and others more, will it be considered a fork of the original mybb software ? Like Ubuntu is a fork of the Debian Operating system.
or should the footer copyright say , " {$lang->my_game_name} is a fork of <a href="http://mybb.com/" target="_blank">MyBB</a>, created by the <a href="http://mybb.com/about" target="_blank">MyBB Group</a> " ?
Are you making major edits to them as well? I see no reason to change the file names themselves. It's just going to lead to headaches for you in the future more than likely when updates and what not come around.

Well my game runs mostly via a big plugin i wana make in mybb. And ofcourse the whole structure style of mybb itself will be totally different. I have to change the names like "threads" and "members" to be able for the players to understand the game , so that have to be "gossip" and "people" . How else can i do it without changing the core of mybb ? The /newthread.php?=... etc filenames in the url will confuse me and others too.
You could simply use URL Rewrites or am I missing something?

I am using an nginx server. I used to do url rewrites in apache that confused me. Still its confusing having to link example "threads" with "gossip" in the many plugin files. CHanging the file names in the core of mybb seems easier to me, but there could also be another way without having to change the core structure.

For non URL related items you should also be able to change the language file to get threads and members changed on the board (except on images)

Yes i already have that sorted with my own language files for the game. Where i converted "members" to "people" etc... Its just the core file and sql names in mybb that is conflicting with my big plugin.
