Landal Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Hi All! Do whether you wish open outdated version of IP Board - 1.3.1 under a license GNU LGPL? I think it is a Great Idea! And a very good contribution to the development of open source software! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex K. Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 IP.Board 1.3 is so outdated that it's not really worth working with anymore. Newer open-source forums are far better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoorMadeEasy Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Phpbb and mybb and smf is much more better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex K. Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 ^ Only compared to IPB 1.3 and earlier versions of 2.x. ;) Personally, I'd still rather use IPB 2.3.x than the newer versions of most free forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axel Wers Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Maybe PHP 5.x and MySQL 5.x incompatibility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziv Grosu Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Landal, purchasing of a new board will be the best choice for ya. You can choose whether if vBulletin or IP.Board but I would recommend you to use IPB 3.2.2 for your community. Its worth the money and everything goes simpler.. As the nice people said above; IPB 1.3 is outdated and is written in history, IPB 3.2.2 and vB 4 don't look back even if there are so many boards that are recommended for you if you are looking for a free community. myBB, punBB, phpBB3, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrej Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Why not? :sad: Because it is so old and outdated. Why do you want 1.3 at all?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat B Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Why not? :sad: Aren't there enough open source security vulnerabilities in the world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misi Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Why not? :sad:And a very good contribution to the development of open source software! IPB competing against IPB ? Who would buy the paid version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoorMadeEasy Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Try to go to simple machine forum it is free and more feature then ip1.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.time Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Try to go to simple machine forum it is free and more feature then ip1.3 MyBB > SMF. I don't think IPB 1.3 would even run on a modern server... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevo Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 The problem with running 1.3 is it requires outdated versions of mysql and php. A server would only be able to host 1.3 OR 2.x, 3.x. I think that if IPS had spare time, they could rewrite Invision power board based on their 1.3 within the new server environment and release it as another product. I think that that will help solve the real reason why most came to invision power in the first place since we all loved 1.3 and its simplicity. At the end of the day, i still use 2.3, 3.1, and now have 3.2. If IPS did consider this, i would be one of the people who'd buy another license for 1.3 since i enjoyed how simple it used to be.... if you compare to the 3rd gen versions.

Jυra Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I'd recommend PunBB or the sorta forked version FluxBB. FluxBB has faster development, though. IPB is worth it the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landal Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 The old 1.3 version of the IP Board will never be competitive new IP Board. And the older version of IP Board will not buy because there are many new, fast, and open internet forums: phpBB, myBB, SMF, PunBB and others.
