In Topic: IP.Board & The Forum Will Be Dead Within 5 Years

The web is moving towards simplicity is how I see it.
Technology is becoming more dumbed down, not just online but everywhere. Take cars for example, humans are now so pathetic we need cars to park themselves, turn lights on when it's dark as well as turn the windscreen wipers on when it rains.

It's not that hard to see that at the rate of technology growing, there will be a tipping point.

This topic is comparing software with end user websites... which is like comparing PHP to HTML.

Adapt or die.
I'd rather my forums die then adapt to other websites not owned by me if it came to that. My forums don't generate money, so it's quite an easy decision for me.

pretty unprofessional.

I like how people make their own views of what 'professional' is and judge others by it. Makes me laugh.

"Quick Selective Quoting (Built in)"

- If you mean the ability to highlight text in a post only to quote that part, that is not built in. However there is a hook made to do this.

In Topic: IP.Board & The Forum Will Be Dead Within 5 Years

IP.Board won't be dead in 1, 2 or even 5 years unless IPS decided to scrap it.

Forums are different to FB and such sites like it. FB or other social sites will never replace forum communities, they play two different roles. Other than that there are people who hate social sites like FB, G+ etc and will not hand over their lives to them.

FB will not be around forever... like MySpace, it will eventually be overshadowed by some other site eventually.

In Topic: Timeline also in IPB?

11 April 2012 - 06:52 AM

I think the idea of the 'timeline system' is actually good. I understand most people wish to burry the past because they maybe ashamed of their postings, but for website centered on content only and not so much chatter, I don't see how a timeline of postings is bad and maybe help get content noticed.

Unless you have something to hide, I haven't seen any other reasons why timelines are bad. So care to share why timelines are bad aside from the previous point? I would like to know as I do not know much about FB's implementation of it other than people complaining about it bringing up their past. Regarding that, if you are ashamed of something you have written, why write it in the first place....
