I did a little bit of research on Slickage ...They also have a website but all it does is link to their Twitter and Github accounts. I'm curious how they were able to get this job.
Slickage Studios' website is their economy $500,000 version. The new $1,500,000.00 forum is going to be even better & more full-featured. |

I really like the idea of signing something with your PGP key instead ofusing a password. Also using SQRL login which using the bitcoin style signing but with a cell phone is even more secure. Using secret questions and answers is kind of like a rotating password list you can't change.

It will be added. Fancy Authentication
In addition to normal password authentication, the forum should support various kinds of of alternative authentication. At least password auth, email verification, secret questions, OpenID, PGP, OpenVPN (automatic creation of subnets + IP source verification), and Bitcoin address signing should be supported, with multiple allowable credentials for each auth type. Users should have the option of requiring any combination of these auth types. Like "pgp OR (password AND OpenID)". And users should be able to require that changes to some or all auth types as well as the required combination of types not take effect for some configurable number of days. This allows for different types of recovery methods.
Also, it should be possible to limit the access for each auth type. So one type might be able to only read, but not post, etc. If the Web interface uses the same API that is exposed publicly, then these permissions can be in the form of allowed API commands.
It might be nice to make this functionality into a self-contained library that other sites can use.

I really hope that Slickage can do something incredibly awesome...  And not something that I can do for free for the same amount of time. |

It would be really funny if it ended up being $140 XenForo and they paid the extra $250 to remove the branding so they could resell it for a cool $1.5 million. LOL |

LOL Haha but the forum would probably not be amused that he just used 1.5 million of our donated money to pay for some shit forum. I don't think I can say I would be laughing if this was the case. |

I bet I could get sixteen guys to work on this for a year for that sum of money. It is just crazy.

I want to see that. Cost for hiring experts are very high. You may think it don't cost that much but it will. Step into a work like this and you can see for yourself. |

At the end one year is not too much, most probable the new forum software will be released on April or May (or at least I hope). The slickage team (by word of theymos) are really expert coders. |

Step into a work like this and you can see for yourself. 15 workers working for an entire year would allow for 100k per person which is a very high salary and 15 people probably isn't even necessary. |

It's even less than that. For shits and giggles I called vbulletin to inquire about a custom application of their latest 5 connect community software. They claim for less than $100k they could custom design per your specifications a version of their forum software and include 2 years of tech support. LOL |

LOL Lol for some reason I don't think theymos would fall for something like that. You need to remember that the forum needs to have a lot of security measures as there are going to be a lot of attempts to hack it and user accounts. As well as have a very robust backend/moderation/administration functions as there are a lot of people that break the rules and try to evade their bans. |

You know this new forum will have a big, come and get me hackers, bullseye painted on it, right? It better be bulletproof and Cosby proof. |

There is a huge amount of commerce that takes place on the forum that getting access to a well trusted account could result in a huge scam. The same goes for if an attacker was able to intercept/change PMs at the DB level. |

Now instead of being a target for thieves and scammers it's a target just because. |

I saw that BadBeatr mention that a lot of the backend functions are not very efficient which makes the current forum more difficult to manage eg handle spammers and other rule breakers |

Well its not his money, its the "forums" money which we donated. We didn't pay all this money for the development of theymos, we did for the development of the forum. So this money should only be spent on the forum. |

So this money should only be spent on the forum. That's bullshit. The donations were made during a time when mining was easy and 50 coins was nothing. I donated a few myself but not enough to get the special perks of donator/VIP. That's why people donated BTW. They wanted to help the forum survive and get the perks of donator status. Back then it would have taken 50 coins just to pay for hosting. When I donated the exchange rate was $2-5. I think it's stupid to overpay for forum software. I would much prefer theymos blow it on hookers and beer or have a huge party and invite everyone. |
