Hi n00b here....very very new
just curious...who are the people behind MyBB ? Does it have a "history" ?
Is it like 3 under-20 geeks in parents basement ?

Welcome matelot. We hope you enjoy MyBB. Yes, as with anything, MyBB has a history. But to make things easier, I'll sum up. Chris used to make DevBB and XMB, but left to make his own software, MyBB. The developers were originally Chris, Wj, Dine, Javaman, and Kasper. But when the last 4 left the project, Chris was developing it on his own, until MusicalMidget started helping, and within recent months, DennisTT and myself have also gotten the opertunity to code it. That's basically it

I see k776 has simply ignored the '3 under-20 geeks' comment

I was in a rush And I think its more 4 under-20 geeks in their bedrooms (I think MM's under 20 )

I don't code MyBB, but I like to think I had a hand in it, concidering its still using the colors and gradients I came up with for the default theme a few releases ago. I'm over 20 (25 to be exact), and I'm in my bedroom.

Weclome to MyBB matelot.

no wonder why this software is so good, Chris already had experience in making a board.

Well, the develepors did a fantastic job in creating this software and like I said before, I hope future versions keep on getting better and better.

Thank You

Well it can only get better and better or worse and worse. 50% chance .

But we do intend to make it better

By the way, please keep it a FREE license!

Yes. Chris has said that MyBB will always be free.
