:cool: I’ve been using this incredible forum software since 2002. From it’s early development stage I’ve seen Invision Forum Board (used to be IBF, now IPB) version 1.0, then 1.1, tranform into a dependable and manageable forum script. Back then I’m only aware of forum softwares like Vbulletin, PhpBB, IkonBoard and the likes. I learned how to hack IPB and create small code modifications. At that point I wanted to learn PHP to create my own complex mods but until now I have not done that. LOL.
When IPB released version 1.2 I decided to use it in my high school online community forums. Now at version 1.3 I still use IPB to run Munsci.net forums.
Version 2.0 is currenly in pre-release version 2 with a new twist in licensing… the user must acquire a license for permanent use. I guess it’s only true that “what you get is what you pay for” but then — the best things in life are free! Isn’t it?
Invision Power Board is a great software and I also think that it is just fair for Invision Power Service to change its terms of service to be more stable and competitive. I just wish I have the fortune to buy a license. :(
For the past few days I’ve been active in IPB forum spotting bugs and making suggestions. It’s my pleasure to participate in bug-hunting to make IPB better. More power to IPB developer, Matt.
