IPB

[Tux]

Just a suggestion I had in mind that we can change this to an IPB forum. Now for those of you who do not know what IPB is I will enlighten you:

IPB includes the following:

-Chatbox
-Status Updates
-Blogs

What do you guys think?

I know that the chat box has been suggested before but was never implemented though:/ I wish it was....

 

[Flippy]

The forum will never switch over to IPB, as to the chat not being implemented that is so the forum doesn't lose activity by people posting in the chat.

A status update mod is available for myBB.
As I know of, there is no blog mod available for myBB.
There's definitely a chatbox plugin available.

IMO myBB is better than IPB in many different ways, but I don't feel like listing them.

A chat box is a great idea that has been suggested many times already, but I do not feel a blog or status update would work well. We do not want to be facebookV2

 

[Michael]

There will never be a chat box and as for IPB, I completely disagree. I dislike it thoroughly!

 

[ಠ_ಠ]

IPB is terrible compared to what you can do with myBB

 

[Painkiller]

I mean no offense but you can't just immediately join a forum and start suggesting huge changes. You obviously just need to get used to MyBB; it is a beautiful forum platform with endless possibilities regarding plugins and themes.

IPBoard's code is messy and unorganized and is full of bugs. MyBB is a community open-source forum platform that is free on the contrary of the expensive IPBoard.

Chatbox is one of the most useless features that can be added to forums. Forum =/= chatbox. The whole purpose of a forum is public (threads / posts) or private (private messages) discussion. Everything else above that isn't forum related.

Same for blogs - if you want a blog solution(s) use a (micro)blogging services. Vbulletin added a blog, usegroups (pages, discussions) and other social features and ended up with 40% of useless stuff that is disabled / removed.

IPB sucks, seriously, I hate that software.
