Why, it's another phpBB subversion!
I woke up today, and saw in the oh-so-awesome phpBB administration panel that version 2.0.19, "we wish you all a happy new year", has been released, and guess what? It fixes even MORE security holes! Jesus Christ! When is this going to end? I'm sick of having to upgrade manually all my files, because my board is already heavily modified.
This wouldn't happen if phpBB was actually built with security and modularity in mind! I can't believe new exploits are always found. It's just insane how shitty the phpBB coders are. I know, they work for free, and give their time and sweat so people like me can run websites for significantly less, but why is this piece of shit the #1 used forum software?
Enough ranting. For those of you who care: I've finally gotten my new monitor, and i'ts awesome! I currently am unable to start work on r3b1rth (lmao) because I have gotten an offer to work on another project, and it's at max priority right now. I'll be done January 7th, so check back later!

Hey, I like PHPBB! It's horrible coding interface, messy organization, and unnessessary reformatting of random variables makes me feel right at home working on an O'Reilly book.
Lmao Trash, does anyone even read these??
LOL I was upgrading my phpBB installation (like you I heavily modded mine) and I came across this:
$strip_var_list = array('username' => 'username', 'email' => 'email', 'icq' => 'icq', 'aim' => 'aim', 'msn' => 'msn', 'yim' => 'yim', 'website' => 'website', 'location' => 'location', 'occupation' => 'occupation', 'interests' => 'interests');
$strip_var_list['confirm_code'] = 'confirm_code';
WTF that has got to be the worse coding I have ever seen.
I'm not looking to incite a flaming or anything, but I'm curious why you are not going to release this to the general public when you are done. Not even the full version but just a cut down, simple and easy to use BBS system.
I might release it, but I don't really expect a revolution.
You see I'm not the type of guy that cares if a certain script works in an environment different from mine. I'm never going to implement a crazy database abstraction layer or a friendly installation system (god I hate making that shit).
^^
Ironically, making the database abstraction layer makes making the installation script 100 times simplier. Well, that was the case for AxDCMS atleast.
this is why i run vbulletin - so i don't have to do that. am running six versions out of date and still haven't been hacked. vbulletin may have bugs but they're manageable and forgivable and they don't have vulnerabilities. i think that says a lot about how talented the vbulletin team is.
