in 2011 the forum software was insufficient for their needs and here it is 2013 using the same stuff. Why in the world the thousands of dollars worth of donations they have haven't done any custom software is just baffling.

At this point it's time for people to start demanding the upgrade...

Where is the money?

Where did all the donations go?

Why have none of the hundreds of inquiries been answered and or addressed?

There are hundreds of competent people on this forum ready to work.

WHY ARE WE STILL USING SMF?

This site is missing some of the best plugins and addons around, and of course can't use them since it is such an old version of SMF. Shouldn't be using SMF to begin with, and could have very professional custom software written easily with all the funds they have from donations. Pretty pathetic the site goes down every week. Site operators, seriously, what's the hold up? Don't tell me you can't find a programmer to do the work.

5500 BTC @ $340 => $1,870,000

Surely you can convert $1m into mutual funds or even government bonds and use the proceeds to hire someone full time Cheesy

Yah right. Where are you going to find someone to code a forum for a million bucks. Roll Eyes

Nah you don't get this, whoever is supposed to do this is expected to receive payment in Bitcoins. As of today no software development company specializing in forums software is willing to do that.
So the scenarios here is: Wait till somebody does, wait till somebody competent enough joins the Bitcoin community, wait till Bitcoins are obsolete
or if all else fails... close down the forum and claim to have been 'hacked' <- works every time Grin

They don't need to find a company that specializes in forum software. They just need to hire someone that can program. Apparently this has been going on for years now and no one smart enough really expects it to get done. One day, eventually, that coffer will be empty and people will have disappeared.

I think most people here believe that BTC is a better investment than mutual funds or government bonds.

Is this offer still in any shape active? I am a web developer specialising in PHP, and am willing to work on this full time. I can work on a fixed price (probably well under the bounty) paid bi-weekly in small instalments (so this will work in a salaried job type arrangement) and in return theymos or whoever gets access to the GitHub repository so they can monitor the progress themselves. Interested?

No, don't lose your time.

Ah well, worth a shot. Thanks

You guys been talking about this on your site for quite some time now and it finally happened. Using old, out dated software and that's "free" should be a NO to begin with with, All the hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars this place to update the software and never did only shows your procrastination and your youth and some greed in there. When BTC was rising over into thw 200+ ranges I bet a software change would never have been though of then. Now that some information has been compromised, it really is in your best interest to get this updated. When I see this place is still running SMF 1.1 and the chauffeurs are full of money just make me think of greed.

Amd if you don't come out with something custom and secure, then another group will just do it better and make it more secure. This was bound to happen and talking about it for a few months just wasn't the best approach . I use to read those posts months and months back on how you should make the forum better and all I heard was who can hold onto the funds securely since BTC is rising. Immature mistake kids would make.

Good luck, but I'll never post private info on here and personal information and pretty much take most content at a grain of salt.

10000% agree, it is retarded that the forum has such old software and has so much bitcoins to make a new one.
