Re: PHP-Nuke new development direction (part 2) (Score: 1)

Well, and then there's this: "Since those ideas are big ones, I decided to have two coders under my direction. I'll pay them for the work and they agreed to pass any code's copyright to me, that's part of the contract."

OK, so they do the work and you get the copyright? Yeah, so it's a contract they agreed to apparently by choice, but I would never agree to such a thing! MY work, MY copyright. Period. Are these coders going to get credit for their work, or is it only going to be FB's name in the files like usual? (Barring Tom's name in many of the phpBB port files; guess FB couldn't get Tom to sign over HIS copyright for a few pennies, eh?)

I never go to phpnuke.org anymore. One, I paid for FB's "club" so that I could get the new (then 7.0) release of Nuke, and then not even a week later it was available everywhere. (My mistake, of course, but I won't make it again!) And the supposed myriads of "extras" that a Club member gets.... HAH! Some images (mostly blank ones as templates; I could have done that myself; hell, my 13 yr. old could have) and I think a theme or two? WOW, I spent money on that.... phpnuke.org makes their "club" sound like you get all these great benefits as a member, you sign up (also out of wanting to contribute to the programmers, which I truly did BTW), and find out after you spend your money that what you thought you might get is a universe away from what you DO get.

Furthermore.... my membership at phpnuke.org went bye bye the day that my "club" membership ended. HUH??? I'd been a member on that site already, with the same username and account info, before joining that club. Now I don't exist as a member on that site.

Now, IF PHP-Nuke puts out a better CMS than what I've experienced with it (6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1), then I'll gladly use it and announce to everyone how great it is. But I've dumped Nuke for now; got tired of spending every waking minute addressing the help forums posts from my site members reporting yet another error/bug, helping them out with the errors/bugs, and fixing and/or searching for fixes.

I'm now using stand alone phpBB with portals (also because I got really tired of trying to hack the forums and because it's ported nothing would work), and it's much faster and more functional than when I was using PHP-Nuke. My site members love the setup, and I don't spend all day and night addressing errors/bugs anymore like I did with Nuke (literally!) I actually get time to myself now.

Unfortunately, many site members left during the process.... they were tired of the bugs/errors. So my site is now 100% from scratch. But that's OK, the remaining & new members are "raving" about how much better my site is now.... now that I dropped Nuke, that is.

I haven't given up 100% on PHP-Nuke.... but it's definitely on the back burner for ME until I see that it's more functional, is rid of the crap that no one uses, has functions that people do use, and oh yes it definitely would be wonderful IF the ported phpBB were ever to function like the stand alone phpBB.... some of use like to mod/hack the forums, and can't the way it's set up in Nuke.

OK, done with my "rant".... and BTW, nukecops ROCKS! You need support, they give it to you. Nuke gets buggie, they fix it. You want to download addons/blocks/mods, they don't charge you for it. Truly opensource site here, if I were a drinker I'd raise a toast to nukecops!
