Dev. Team Needed (Not for YaBB SE)

[tdodnz]

I am looking for a development team for the IceCube BB Project.

The IceCube BB Project is the project of making a forum similar to YaBB SE
But we write it from scratch to avoid any possible conflict with the YaBB GPL.

This forum would be a community project as such where users are able to send in mods that they have made and with the next version released all of the mods hat we accepted would be put in place.

Also it would be built the first time to have everything that YaBB SE has with any mods that we come up with or we see in the Mod Ideas Board (This one).

If you are interested in this large project send an email to [email protected]

Sometimes im just confeused why wouldn't you want to join the dev team. Itd be fun to develop a forum with everything we can do, if your a good moder you should be able to do it considering you know how most forums are built I make mods for around 5 of em

Except everyone here is here because of YaBBSE which is a forum being developed already.

I can think of a few possible reasons you may want to develop your own new board from scratch, instead of using YaBB SE:

1) You want a whole slew of new features
2) You want to build a board using a completely different underlying structure
3) You want to own the board and/or use a non-open source license
4) You want the challenge of building a new board from scratch, or...
5) You hate YaBB SE.

To which I say:

1) Thats what modding is for. Pointless to build yourself a new board when you can save time and modify an existing one.
2) A legitimate reason, although rumor has it YSE2 is going to be a big step on the path to a drastically improved internal structure, and it sounds like 1.5 is a strong indicator of that
3) Again, understandable, if you want to go to the trouble, building your own board with a privately-held license gives you more control over what is done with it. But the Open Source movement is not only noble, its also very practical for ensuring the long-term life of the board.
4) Good luck, you've got a lot more patience and ambition than I have. I'd rather use an existing system and modify it to my needs.
5) Please don't take this the wrong way or too personally, because I mean it in the very kindest possible way: Get out! If you don't like the software, what on earth are you doing here? That's what this forum is all about!

I don't hate YaBBSE I love it but if a can't find a way to join their dev team ill start my own  

I want to develop it in an easy to mod way as such with a wicked admin center where mods are easily integrated into admin area.

Also where from mod installs you are able to add columns and tables to the database. (Running on XML of course the package thing would)

Point 2 the challenge I enjoy a challenge thats why I take on all the hard mods  

Point 3 thte YaBB SE structure is good but it is not how I would do it nor my friends so, I was going to do it my way (Which is easy to mod, it will be a modifications board I just need a good team that gets along)

Also its PHP it has to be open source  
what you on about  

APoint 4 lots of new features every single mod that we can come up with we will make and add to the board before we release it.

Im good at mods i wan't to see if I can do the board (Probably  )

Anyway if you want to join just do what I said above

Not true, actually. Buiilding commercial applications with PHP and/or MySQL does not violate the open source license for either product, in the same sense that using YaBB SE on a commercial website is not in violation of the license. The violation occurs if you modify the code and then try to sell it under a different license. Essentially, the GPL (as I understand it) is only violated if you actually make changes to the license itself, or try to distribute the product without the GPL license included.

And you're currently showing as the last poster to fifteen topics in a row on this board (sixteen before I replied to the one before this). Do you really have that much of value to say?

PS Sorry... seventeen!

[tdodnz]

lol well i try to keep up with the mods so that if someone wants it I can make it (I enjoy making mods  )

Just because i enjoy scripting, the main reason is because I need ideas and r casting my opinion on a new mod being made on addons to it and so on.
