this software is worth using even though development is suspended

 I use elfBBB to put up small forums for multiple independent projects.
No administration at all, I just copy it into a folder for a project
and permit users with .htaccess
I have never had to teach a client how to use it, and I have made very
few easy mods (RSS feed for new messages, turn off the language options).

This is a great free tool.

Wow! Thank you! This is the kind of feedback that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside :-)

It's true, development has stalled - sad but true. It's not by choice, and I'm still hoping to continue to finish at least the targets I have set on my roadmap to version 2.0. Currently, sadly, this is impossible due to lack of time, due to other projects. (The excuse is always the same.) I do already have a few new ideas in store, but won't get into them until I reach my previously set goals.

If you would send in your RSS-modification, I could shove them in into the base and let others benefit from them as well. Turning off the language menu is already a feature, you can find it on the General-page in the Configuration-screen.

You can reach me by e-mail at nikc iki fi. The @ before iki, and a dot before fi.

The roadmap (actually a TODO-list) and it's status can be seen on the development site:

Oh by the way. I added a small fix to the core, fixing slash stripping while loading. I noticed I had missed this, thanks to you. (That hyphen in your name did the trick.)

It seems as though every time someone either compliments, or in any way comments, on ElfBB progress happens.

Several small fixes and changes were made today that improved ElfBB a little.

Keep those messages coming won't you, that way ElfBB 2.0 will be finished in no time at all :-)
