It's really dull with ugly images that look pencil drawn.

I just checked out my demo. It is DISGUSTING! Maybe it's a prank?

The trouble with future trends is nobody knows what they are. Who would have thought back in 2007 that Twitter would be making 65 million tweets a day? Every conference I go to, there's always something different or is "the next big thing".

To be honest though, I agree. I wouldn't be at all surprised that the plans we've laid out over the past 12 months change going through development. I'm not sure if you've seen Justin's latest work, but he's made a fantastic job of incorporating those "future trends" without losing MyBB's core appeal of being forum software.

Very true. I'm sure Justin's work on the new theme is great but I mean trends in more of a general societal way, i.e. it's clear that everything is moving toward NUI's (touch, visual interfaces) and portability (smart phones, tablets) and directing parts of MyBB development towards integrating those type of improvements I think will become a large part of MyBB's future over the next several years, as the drive for those type of technologies is adopted and improved rapidly.

hahahaha

If I may ask, who is Justin?

This.

MyBB is really great. I've actually ended up rewriting some of the core files to implement things I want. I'm not really skilled in plug-ins so I do things this way instead. Including things into templates is very easy to understand.

I think the biggest problem for myBB feature is the lack of plugins and themes. Other scripts have alot more then myBB does. I think this has to do with other communities having alot more of Plugin Developers and Theme Makers. And the developers here, always try to make it a sign up to there site sort of deal. Why should I pay for plugins when say "OtherBB" offers it for free?

There are a lot of plugins and themes for Mybb. Maybe you aren't looking hard enough. And, if the developers want to make you pay for plugins, then you can either pay or not pay. Not everything in life is free.
