Dare I should show my office (man cave) and risk a take-over?  Location:  On the water somewhere in Missouri.  And yes it "rocks", literally.

was just looking for the best forum software back in November of 2002.

A trusted friend recommended you to me and said it would be great if my taste was for something more professional... I dipped straight in early 4.0 and have not regretted that decision.
Great work from the team here.

I started with I think was some forum that was a cgi script every post was a file on the server - blew past all quotas very quickly. Then went to UBBThreads that had a database back end - was good their till development team fractured and started a new company InteractivePHP and their product FuisonBB then development tapered off (they all had day jobs) and like many came to IPB, been happy here ever since.

I needed a forum software but at that time I only knew about vbulletin  phpbb and smf. I don't like vbulletin, and the others don't look professional to me. So I needed to goggle for options.
Instead of googling "forum software", I did what I normally do to find competitors. I typed in google "vbulletin vs " and all the options appeared to me.
 

I started with IPB in 2004. I was with phpbb before that. we were using 1.3 back then. Every time there was an upgrade I would have to pull an all-nighter to edit all the skins and files for modifications. Crazy days. We have come a long way since then.
 

I got involved with forums soon after I got married (in 2003). My husband had a job with extremely late hours, we had no kids yet, and I was home from my own job by 6:00 and very, VERY bored. My husband is an avid fan of the New York Yankees, and really wanted me to join him at the games, so I started to learn a little more about baseball. I wanted to sound halfway intelligent, so I began spending time on the YES Network forums to see what other fans were saying. (Solid choice, Esther, hang around with crazy trolls. Excellent decision-making skills.)
After a couple of months there, one of the more active members decided he was fed up with the sheer number of trolls and total lack of moderation - there was 1 moderator for nearly 1 million members. This guy was asking around to see if anyone could help him get the site up and running. As I mentioned, I was VERY bored, so I figured I'd do it.
The site was running IPB 2.2, and I started poking around and learning how to customize things. Taught myself PHP by implementing the modifications, then started making my own. 
Our site ran for nearly 5 years (and was really popular) before we had to shut it down simply because we had no time to run it. By then I was distributing my own minor modifications and doing really small custom pieces. 
In 2010, I quit my job to go out on my own and do this full time. I love this job. I love that my customers never ever want the same things twice, I love that nearly anything is possible with IPS. I'm really enjoying watching the framework "grow up", so to speak. 

Invision always teasing us with interesting features but no release date so we refresh the blog on a daily (sometimes more) basis

Then just do it.  

Yes, thanks! 
Now, i wait REST API for Clubs 

I hope this covers now everything what you wanted to see
 

I keep coming back to this one. 
You guys have really stepped it up a level with integrating all the pieces into a crisp, usable, visually stunning package. 
4.3 is gonna really deliver. 

Could you clarify this? There are no new form field types in 4.3.

Literally everything on this page is built via extensions ( 4.3 will have 2 new extension types which are used to build the ACP member profile)
@Mark did an amazing job here.

Yes! Awesome! Loving 4.3 already! <3
I’m hoping that device management will be included in REST API too
Thanks for everything!

The new look is great (of course ), but I definetly like the filterable Recent Account Activity the most.
