Thank you.

How many developers / coders / designers are with IPB?

Thats good to read. I am asking this question, because many vbulletin owners are concerned about the future and about development of the forum platform they use.

Could you please look into posting an overview of past releases?

When comparing vbulletin to IPB, it seems to me that IPB's advantage is its development of supported products and addons.

It would be very useful if you could post an overview of release dates of major versions and new software. It will show us vbulletin customers what IPB's development speed is.

You could upgrade to vb 3.8.3 first. Then migrate.

Damn. IPB gets more and more appealing. Even though I am not interested in a chat service, I am definitely interested in an advance chat application.

Controversial content can be legal in one country, while illegal in other countries. I know a Dutch website that gives hooker reviews, while another gives Amsterdam coffeeshop reviews. All perfectly legal in The Netherlands where these sites reside, but probably illegal under US law. I think there must be plenty examples of controversial content thats legal within specific areas. Plus: its virtually impossible to know exactly what has been posted on your forums. Unless you approve each post, before it becomes visible. But try that on a busy site.

With canned replies, I mean standard reply texts, that you can insert into posts, PM, etc.

Regarding wiki; I currently use a native wiki system: i.e. wiki articles in posts. Its an important part of my site.

Where can I find the IPB license agreement?
Does it restrict forum content in any way?

Any ideas how to substitute this:

• bounced email handling
• wiki
• cyb advanced forum rules
• GARS (reviews)
• Invitation system
• reputation system
• reputation comments in posts
• reputation moderation
• multiple account detection and handling
• post report system
• vb's infraction system
• member help / support / ticket system
• real IP detection (see trough proxies)
• reciprocal links directory
• verify email before registration
• facebook like chat
• full featured chat room
• canned replies
• vb's thread prefixes
• donation system
• vbexperience
