I think that there were utterances surrounding new forum software back when I registered in 2013.

I registered in 2015, and I think I heard the same thing now and again. For a while I was expecting the forum to morph into something quite different, and I thought it was coming soon. Then after a couple of years I kind of stopped paying attention to all the talk of new forum software. At present, I'm indifferent about it.

I agree. But it looks like we are finally coming close to its release (this time for real).

I'll believe it when I see it rolled out and ready to use. Not sure if I'm in the minority, but I really like bitcointalk the way it is--there's an elegant simplicity to it that just works for me, and I'd hate to see changes made the way eBay constantly does them, i.e., frequently and with no rhyme or reason. There's nothing on this site that's completely broken, so it isn't as though a lot of things need to get fixed.

Anyway, maybe I'll love the new forum software. I try not to project negativity about it, but I'm not a big fan of change when it comes to websites I frequent.

theymos (or someone from the dev team...?) said that they are in the bug catching phase and there is even an beta forum online which people can try and bug hunt. See: https://cryptos-currencies.com

Sure there is. Everyone's used to SMF. Nobody asked for a new system.

There is no reasons to keep using SMF after paying some big money for a new forum software and many years of development.

Why can’t you try on your mobile. That’s one of the best features.

My bad mate, even browsing the internet takes some times. Just because of this...

Even if I try using space clean up it just turns back into that state.

Then does this mean that we will now be getting updates sooner?
Just what do you think will be more environmentally friendly? the current one or the epochtalk?

Probably. We are close since 95% of the development is done.

I liked the new forum. It may take some time to adapt but it is way user-friendly (at least on mobile since it has an responsive design). There will also be more features as well (like tagging users), 2FA and future updates.

... but the current one is working well now.

what current one? AFAIK, there isn't new running forum except the one we are using right now...

Most part of it is done and now bugs are being fixed.

It has been years since the first time I heard there will be a new forum, but the current one is working well now.

This doesn't mean changes can't happen.

The new forum software is currently in beta. Most part of it is done and now bugs are being fixed.

In short: If you want the software quicker, go run your own forum with it, and work to get any problems or missing features you find resolved via bug reports, etc. This would increase public interest, provide much-needed testing, and I might even hire you to work on bitcointalk.org when we're ready to do the final transition here.

Why don't you do a bounty? At the end of it, the one with the best skills and suggestions and bounty points (?) gets a full time job?

Would BTCT run on SMF 2.1? It is responsive, which is the main eye-catcher for mobile users.

It could. But it won’t.

theymos paid a considerable amount of money for the new forum software. There is no reasons to keep using SMF.

Honestly, new SMF is much better than new forum software that is still in developmet.

Well, it's a WIP. I assume new features will be released in the course of time. Maybe it will be better in the long term, or maybe it's just a "waste of time"; we can't really know.

Good to know the current situation of the new forum software and that it is actually close to complete. The number of topics about Epochtalk has been increasing, seems to be leading to a big stream.
