My assumption is it will be released in 1-3 months. Slickage staff said beta for staff will be in near future.

I prefer Zakir over Muhammed when mentioning me!
I've been away from the forums for a while. I take it the deadline hasn't been changed since? Has anything been announced yet, even?

I've just read two threads regarding the "$1.5 million forum software" that has yet to be released and we, as Bitcointalkg users, are the ones who's gonna be using it. Can't wait what's in store for us bitcoiners! 
Well we don't need to be in a hurry though. The developers might as well do their best to fix the bugs and other security issues rather than to rush the work and deliver it to the deadline. You don't want the $1.5m to be spent on rubbish, do you?
I don't care about the deadline, I am happy with how the forum is currently, but the upgrade would be nice to get earlier, needs a change of design quick. I'd rather have it released 100% completed and bug tested instead of some buggy forum which can get hacked. ... And it is passed another month (from their deadline February 2015). What do you think guys, will the new forum software be finished before the end of April? I think yes and you?

Looking forward to the new forum and there seems to be people testing it now so shouldn't be too long hopefully. I normally expect a project of this size should be available within the next 6 months the beta stage is nice to see is it only selected members who can test it?
I'm not sure why people care so much about a missed guestimate from 8 months ago. Its done when its done. Why does it matter? This probably isn't one of those things that you want rushed, so theres no point in getting butthurt over a missed expected finish date. Or would you rather we use a shoddy not complete forum software full of bugs and security holes.
What makes you think that? Have you been beta testing it and seen the progress being made? What are you basing your guess on?
If you think it will be done before the end of 2015, you are crazy. 2016 isn't looking too hot, either.

Why are you thinking that ? This is not a game or a guess...Looking at current development status (github etc..), it's unlikely that epochtalk will be finished before the end of April !
NB : Don't ask me when, I don't have any ETA or other infos
It was just my personal opinion and I don't care much if the forum will not be released by the end of April or end of 2015, and I will not ask you when it will be released (don't worry).

i think it wont happen. easy money. classic.
It's nice having the only avatar in most threads.
I disagree.
For 1.5 million dollars it better be good. Think that most large companies don't even have websites that cost 1.5 million to make. So I am pretty excited for what is to come with the changes!
Personally, I hope the new forum software is delayed for some time...

Makes it easier to locate my post.
What? Me selfish?

Even if the software turns out to be amazing, who's going to maintain it? Proprietary forum software developed by a temporary association of overpriced devs is a security disaster waiting to happen. Im pretty sure this will also prove why companies usually dont put inexperienced ~18 year olds in charge of large software development projects
I give it 3 to 6 months before this 1.5M software is dumped in favor of some standard platform.

Fuck... no shit here. This is a disaster from every single aspect you could look at it. I'm glad we paid so much for something that, years later, doesn't even have basic working features. Then the ongoing maintenance, bug fixing, etc... is going to be non-existent. Unless it's so amazing and so much better than everything else out there, the open source community isn't going to keep it updated worth a shit, in favor of other existing companies products, so it will languish and eventually be so security bug ridden that only insane people will use it.
What a fucking waste of 1,500,000 dollars.
There were a few posted in this forum a few weeks back. Looks wise it hasn't changed that much. As far as theme design, there will be one for this forum done at some point. Please be patient as a lot of data migration and import issues are taken care of.
Actually, it's not proprietary. It's open source and built on open standards. Any issues with that can go on our github: https://github.com/epochtalk/epochtalk
Hey wangbus, any screenshots of the software in action?
