Hello all.

As you are probably aware of, this hack hasn't received any updates for quite some time.
The fact that I am busy with the college life is only partially the truth. Long story short, I lost motivation to work on this hack.
I don't want to explain this any more in-depth, so let's just leave it at that.

As for the future of the hack, I can say with 99% certainty that I won't be doing any updates for the immediate future.

However; two months ago, I gave a member called "Foghorn Deadhor" permission to have a coder he knows post a bugfix version. I wanted to let the two of them take over the hack, but his coder didn't have the time.

As it would appear that no such version has appeared (also, the member himself seems to have vanished from the Members List), so that leaves me no other choice than to ask the general public to find me someone who would be either willing to bugfix it, or (preferably) take it over completely.
However, I don't want just anybody to take over what I spent 3 years working on.

Requirements for posting bugfix version:
  • Good command of the English language.
  • Good knowledge of PHP, including elements of OOP.
  • Ability to identify bugs and work together with users to determine the nature of the bugs (or lack thereof) and promptly fix it/them.
Requirements for taking over the hack:
  • All of the above.
  • Either:
    • Keep the hack free.
    • Release a free version with NO LESS features than the CURRENT hack.
      If you want to release a paid version, I would like to see a small percentage of the sales based on the level of participation I have in the development, as well as the amount of my code you are using.
      To be discussed.
  • Agree with my vision of making the hack INTEGRATED with the forum (unlike Inferno, which is purely a separate page of the forum. I want it to become a PART of the forum, not just something on the sidelines).
If you are interested in taking over the hack, I want to work together with you/your team to provide feature suggestions, help maintain the vision of the hack and possibly also be a part of the development team (though just not as primary developer, if I could do that then I wouldn't be posting this post).

Please contact me through the EMAIL feature in my profile.
I will not respond to ANY Private Messages on the matter.
If you email me to tell me I suck for stopping development, I will add you to GMail's spam filter.
If you email me to tell me how much you love this hack but you can't help, I won't reply to you but know that I am sorry for how things turned out. I'm hoping it will get better in the immediate future.

In closing, I have a few messages to the various kinds of people in this thread (which I haven't read for ages, so don't think this is personal):
  • To everybody who called me lame, scammer, failure, or anything insulting:
    Learn2code or gtfo.
  • To everybody who have been struggling with bugs but managed to be civil:
    I am sorry.
  • To everybody who helped people with bugs and installation problems:
    You have my deepest respect, thank you very much.
And finally, let me reiterate that I am sorry for how things turned out.
