Some of you might already have heard, others might not have. Because of the new LVP Media setup, we're going to majorly change the forums. We have purchased a Simple Machines Forums Charter Membership, which allows us to get premium support, feature requests with higher priority and best of all: immediate access to new versions. The idea is considerably simple: starting from SMF Beta 3 we will be running our own version of the forum.
It will start off with basic modifications, feature additions, our own bugfixes, until the SMF 2.0 final will be released. After that moment we'll wait for some news on the subject of version 3 of Simple Machines Forums. Unless the feature line-up for version 3 is truly amazing (which I honestly doubt), we will be forking the software and changing it until it perfectly suits what we need.
This board will start off with early plans, discussions and other related pieces of information. In time, developers who will focus on the forum software will be granted access in here as well.
