i see wwwthreads in the url.<br><br>can you tell me if this is wwwthreads software and what version, please?<br><br>peace

Yes, it is WWWThreads. From the FAQ:<br><br>Can I run my own forum?<br><br>Yes, WWWThreads is available at www.wwwthreads.com<br><br><br>Don't know what the version is, but it's pretty old. Why?<br><br>

the version they are running goes back to AT LEAST 2002 - and probably earlier. It hasn't been updated since I signed up here (in 2002).<br><br>CreativeGuy for daily tips, tricks and commentary on all things graphic design.

wonder whatever happened to the Russian programmer?<br><br>

I signed up in 2001 and it was the same back then too.<br><br>Do you mean Misha, John? I think there was a falling out of some sort. Misha seems to have been a well-traveled kinda guy, if you know what I mean.<br><br>&#63743; &#63743; &#63743; &#63743;

No, I remember Misha. He came from MacNN.<br><br>This was Slavic or something.<br><br>As far as the board goes, I don't think they have updated but surely they have installed updates to this version? Like say this is 10.1, then updated it to 10.1.1, etc<br><br>I'm not sure why it was never updated to the newer version of WWWThreads and not sure if it does need updating.<br><br>

Slav is probably busy with Unsanity. What is more troublesome is that this discussion has been going on for nearly 2 years with absolutely no commentary from Stan. He could put an end to it with some open discussion (not that he owes it to us, mind you).<br><br>CreativeGuy for daily tips, tricks and commentary on all things graphic design.

Or, it could be this scenario:<br><br>The boards are running error free. No problems other than it's out-dated, but it's running just fine.<br><br>To Stan, it may be something that's not cost/time effective. I'm not sure how it's set up, but let's say he decides to upgrade the board. Well, he has to pay someone to install the software and test it out. This probably isn't cheap, but I really don't know the cost.<br><br>Then, after making sure that it's running smoothly, you have to transition everything over or lose all the threads here.<br><br>He apparently started to go through with this until some members here kinda ruined it.<br><br><br>So, if you were Stan and had those choices, which would you choose? Would you invest any money into this forum if it's running just fine? Perhaps he doesn't have the discretionary funds to do this?<br><br>

I bet you're right, John. If it ain't broke . . . .<br><br>&#63743; &#63743; &#63743; &#63743;

Oh, and another thing...if the posters here don't click on the ads or have them blocked, he gains no income from this forum, correct?<br><br>
