: Hmm.. right. Why do we not make $$ (to cover the cost at
: least) and have fun at the same time. One Q popped up in
: my mind lately: If the new script is a total rewrite, and
: use MySQL as backend, why do we stick to using WebBBS as
: it's title. Is there much value left in the name WebBBS?

: My thinking at this moment: If we are to further develop
: WebBBS, WebBBS should remain to be shareware; If we are to
: start a new project and do it for fun, freeware.

Well, you know I did try a complete rewrite from scratch two years ago where I had a lot of time.
Nobody ever joined and due to private circumstances I was forced to make it very low priority.

The next point: We could have started a fresh project all the time, why didn't we do it?
Plus: even if we would decide to start from scratch why now where most of us don't have time for a new project.

With all your mods in the system it will take a long time to catch up with a new script written from scratch.

Opposed to these:
If we start from existing WebBBS-Tarty-moded-version to turn things over step by step we'll always have running code and don't *loose* features. They may be old code but not *lost*.
Plus: there are still lot's of old boards out there, all their creditlinks pointing to our project

I must admit I don't know if all this works. It's a new attempt to an old problem
