I still have a UBB license and now and then look at their site.
Can you believe that UBB 6.1 is still in BETA! Now up to Beta 2.1 !!
They finally are admiting that UBB 6 is heavier on the server.
They are still promising basic features like who's online and polls for 6.2 soon (actually Ted said September so they've missed that already).
I paid these guys for another years member access back in January and I have had no value from it since they have still not produced a functional and performant release of UBB 6.
Of course in the meantime I migrated to VB but the delays are simply a joke over at UBB land. To cap it all they are moving the UBB support forums to OpenTopic so the users can enjoy the superior features of OT.
That really says it all - a site that chooses another BB product (albeit one they make) to host the support BB of UBB.
Oh- and InfoPop have just bought WWWThreads. They will develop it in PHP to offer more scalability for self-hosted boards...hmmm.
Of course they will keep developing all three BB products! I have heard that line many times before in the software business.
My personal view is that IP have realised that the Perl and flatfile format of UBB is a dead-end.
