Development Discussion Board

why do you all capitalize "mod" as "MOD"?? It's not an acronym) To differentiate it from moderator which is often shortened to "mod". I can't remember exactly why modifications was used instead of hack. Probably because of the negative connotations that come with the t...

His point is still valid. People who have contributed haven't seen their work be released yet. Igor and Oleg are two that I can think of off the top of my head.

Wordpress was a pretty good blog. Then they added custom post types and then they became a pretty good CMS as well as a blog. phpBB doesn't have to be just your basic forum.

And, that jquery is popular, but I already knew that. Blinded by your own personal opinion that you fail to see the fact that majority of the popular Ja...

On the other side diffs that are hard to read tend to just go unmerged which probably is also not in phpBB's interest. You keep saying it is hard to read. What is hard to read about it?
