Do you think..?

Post by Twillingate.info »

Do you think Olympus will be just as good as some of the other very-expensive forum solutions? I think they'll lose a lot of customers (including me) when Olympus is released...

But they always say, the best things in life are free.

I mean, why pay for renewing your IPB or vB or whatever license when you can have phpBB software for free, for life?

:) Thanks phpBB!

do not underestimate the psychological unwillingness to change, let alone the technical troublesome of converting/integrating forum software with something else. :)

I'm looking forward to converting my Invision Power Board site so I don't have to pay for subscriptions anymore.
