What's the status w/ that new forum software?

[Mr Felt]

Did the mods here get taken for a ride or something?

Posting in this topic because its hilarious.
Usually I save the drama for my babys momma, but I just cant resist.
(Not like I care if Theymos cashed out every bitcoin for himself but anyways...)

It'd be funnier if just tragically late, but I'm not sure that's the case here.  

Looks like they are working on a pokemon go-themed forum based on the epochtalk.com homepage.  Glad that got funded . . .

Is that you Matthew? Long time no see.

Love your magazine by the way. ROTFLMAO

The software will come. The public beta is currently up at https://beta.bitcointalk.org/. You can track the development progress at https://github.com/epochtalk/epochtalk. As you can see, it is still actively being worked on.

Two days ago, a Friday, a full day's work below was the last update: https://github.com/epochtalk/epochtalk/commit/1a34230c77bfe43a9960bd5a1785a9a4dca12277

// get lastActive for this user
     request.db.users.getLastActive(userId)
     .then(function(lastActive) {
-      console.log(lastActive);
       // if no lastActive, then just update
       if (!lastActive) { return true; }

I'm not a coder, so I haven't a clue if the above needs more commas or cowbells.

I can undersand that you are not a coder; as a coder would notice that the Epochtalk forum software has been split up into modules and most of the development no-longer happens in the core module.

Since you seem to know what's going on, when will the new software be ready for prime time? I've been hearing about it since Matthew N. Wright was giving theymos so much shit over its completion that he got permabanned and that was 2013. There's a ton of Linux distros that took less than three years to develop that likely had fewer people working on them and a much smaller budget. Are they coding the forum in a new language they're developing? Maybe developing a new kind of math to go with it? Base 8 math anyone?

Not only that, but it is entirely possible for one day's work result in one line of code change due to debugging. Debugging can take such a long time to and result in only a few lines changed in order to fix that bug.

Thanks to you both for the insight. I'll go back to doin' what I do best.

Bitcointalk admin Thermos (WOT:theymos) continues to feel pressure from disgruntled forum users with a recent post highlighting the frustrations of users who have poured countless Bitcoin into the scam waiting for results. Thermos stated later in the thread that "The forum money I held has largely been spent now", having paid around $100,000 monthly to an unknown friend of a friend of Greg Maxwell to develop the new EpochTalk software. Over $1.2 million USD has been poured into the project which he describes as being "entirely functional" at it's core, though users are still burdened with the original SMF software that is often subjects to bugs, hacks, and denial-of-service attacks. Theymos stated further in the post "There will be a public beta before the end of the month, I think" which likely means a delay of several more months before signature campaign spammers have a new home to post in.

Just read the CoinTelegraph article that noted $100,000 per month is being spent on building new forum software.

What, pray tell, will this software do that a $399 license from vBulletin won't accomplish?

Daily blowjobs for everyone for a year with Legendary status.

Casual and social software games have a development cost of roughly (having a development cycle of 6 months) between $30k and $300k. Mobile and iPhone games cost even less, generally in the range of $5k – $20K per title. Software games are immensely complex and difficult to develop compared to framework forums where much of the base code already exists.

Simple Machines started as a project under Lewis Media, Inc. In 2007, the Simple Machines Forum project was split off and formed its own company, organized as Simple Machines, LLC. In June of 2010, Simple Machines reformed as a not-for-profit organization (NPO) registered in Nevada. The transfer of assets from LLC to NPO was completed in April of 2011 and in May of 2011, Simple Machines, LLC was dissolved. It's estimated that the original SMF forum cost in the neighborhood of $60k to develop.

So is Epochtalk actually epic? The beta site seems a little slow.  Default GUI is bare.  Not sure how customizable it is.  Just wondering if the product is actually better than current bulletin boards.

I tried using the beta.bitcointalk.org software, however I have to reset my password for it :/
I'll just wait for it to be released.. maybe 10-15 years time? haha.

Dang, so true. I had taken an 8-month hiatus to better my life (college, work, friendships, etc.) and I come back to the same forum design... One day it'll come!

I was not aware about this beta.bitcointalk.org site but i think the night version of bitcointalk its so dark and i think better to don't change the theme what we are using right now because its simple and we can read easily..unlike in dark version..
