Yeah but that's a company that promissed to always keep things free and they turned into Microsoft on us. Hopefully more people like me will rebel against it and switch to a different script.

2-3 months is not bad red it tells me they had a market plan going one which would make them money by getting everyone using their stuff then change their stuff and make everyone pay to upgrade? seems normal to me.

I'm not going to post a link or anything, but let's just say that it's awfully easy to get a truly 'unlimited trial'

They went from 100% free, to free but pay for support, to not free at all, but unlimited trial, to no trial. All this within about 2-3 months. And check this out: http://www.invisionboard.com/?triallimited They encode it so no one can even see the code. Talk about paranoid for a company that had free as a promise. We won't be upgrading any time soon and when we do it won't be to IPB. It will be to ZB which I need to get off my butt and finish up! Lots to be put into it still. Christmas vacations should be a perfect time to work on it. As for the encoded version of IPB, I'm sure there's a way to decode it to get the source. You know, just for coding ideas and what not. Suposely somewhere in the source they actually state that they stole code from another script! I did not see it for myself but someone else told me. It's really sad how this company just went in the pits. They turned in Microsoft. Or Enron.
