Happy Birthday!

Even though this place is dead, it is still worth making a topic about!

I noticed you keep saying SZ is dead/dying... is it?

We already lost SoCal. Can't lose SZ.

<_< There is truth in all three statements.

And I'm late, but happy birthday Quilford. :)

Last time I was here was 2009. The place wasn't buzzing as it did back in 2005-07 but it was decently active. Guess 3 years is too long. Do you guys think activity will pick up again when PBv5 comes along?

That's a Chris question. It *has* the potential. But I won't talk about v5 until I see it, considering it has been in the workds for over 3-4 years now (that's when we heard it was about ready)

I really miss ProBoards' glory years. When design boards such as SZ and SoCal were brimming with activity. I blame Facebook for the demise of forum communities. :P

Kathy: If I can find time, then activity will pick back up. :P I do plan to do a lot with v5 as does Ben, but we're both extremely busy with school and life.

Jack: You can go view v5 currently... you know that, right? (http://v5.proboards.com)

: As long as SZ isn't a total graveyard, I'm glad. This is one of the longest-standing PB coding & design board. Fingers crossed for v5.

: Oh yeah, v5 is indeed in open beta. I'm still unsure if I like the live shoutbox or not.

I'll always be around to post... Scorp's here spam protecting too. :P I just need to get my ass in gear for code requests/support.

As for the shoutbox... that's why you can disable it. Won't be enabled on SZ most likely. :P

I'm aware Chris. But I meant that I don't think a release is coming anytime too soon. After all, 3-4 years and they can show a preview of it. w00t. I bet it will be next year when it is actually released, tbh.

But credit to them if they're spending this time smoothing out bugs - it would be an extremely laborious task to rewrite ProBoards.. especially with the features v5 promises.

I'd rather have it late but polished, than early and buggy.

I do hope they make the update to v5 optional for the first run like how vBulletin does it if I'm correct. While I'm excited with v5, I fear massive code incompatibilities.

Beating a dead horse thread here.

Seeing how Ben would design it. I would agree with him it wouldn't even be considered to be on the website. It really draws good content away from SZ.

A live preview with working ACP? So, you know, 90% done. :P Trust me, they're very far along. In fact, I think I'm too blame for it not being done in May. Haha. I convinced them to add a few features that are enough to make the wait worth while.

Can you reveal what those features are? Or will I have to wait to find out..
