I don't think there should be any 2.2.9 hacks, since vb3 is soo close. I think it would be a waste to code something new when you have to recode it again for vb3.

Just a thought.

Vb3's release is so close, but is it close to replace our 2.2.x boards in our servers?

Many experienced users are not considering upgrading to 3.x for a long time since it would be very likely to be buggy in its first few months. V2.x.x is around for years but there still security patches, bug fixes nearly everymonth, do you think vb3 with radical algorithm and structure changes will be rock stable when it's released? I doubt it.

Besides there may be other users whose (owner) licences expired and would not considering a repayment to renew it so will stick to 2.2.x from now on.

I dont agree vb2.x.x hacks should halt, but it's true that it's very awkward time for hackers to decide to code a hack (especially major ones) as they dont know whether vb3 would include the feature or not. It's also true that they are reluctant as they need to revise tthe code after vb3 release. But let's not discourage them more anyway. :glasses:

I agree with some of the major hacks. Although I personally won't be using vB3, perhaps at all, I understand why people are reluctant to release hacks now. ButI don't see why development of hacks for 2.2.x should stop, espeically when there is no release date for vB3 yet other than Q1 of next year, which is could be the full 4 months or more till it comes out of beta.

Is there a scheduled release date on vb3 yet?

NTLDR · #5 11-28-2002, 04:23 PM

Beta is posible before Christmas for public use and final in Q1 of 2003.

I think the full public comes out in Q2...not sure though...

zajako has still to finish his famous RPG hack for vB2.

That sounds like a major hack.

I don't think the vb 2.2.9 hacks should stop but I do see reluctance on anything big as far as hacks go. I myself have been working on a huge Clan CMS and decided to wait on vb3 to complete as I am really wanting the conditional templates to make my life easier. I may however port my existing pieces to MrLister's portal.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
