April 29, 2008MOD Topics at phpbb.com
I have been doing a lot of thinking about how to best prepare for the phpBB2.x retirement. The first conclusion that I have come to is that I won’t start any new MOD development topics. It took me well over a year to complete development and release for the Page Permissions MOD, and I don’t anticipate that I would be able to (or interested in) releasing my other 2.x MODs on an accelerated schedule to avoid the pending shutdown for MOD submissions. As a result, I have tabled the MOD development topics at phpbb.com.
However, some of these MODs might still prove to be useful. So what to do?
At the moment I am still planning to complete the Post Notes MOD I wrote about a while back. But I will need somewhere to do that. I have two sites up and running now where I can do that: here or at phpbb2mods.com. The board at phpbb2mods.com is already public, and I already have some MODs there that I took over from AbelaJohnB some years back. The board associated with this site is private, at least so far. But I have built a number of MOD tools that are installed on this site and not on the other.
Decisions, decisions. 
I really don’t know which site I will use. What I do know is that I will be opening up one board or the other for MOD development topics so that folks can ask questions / get support / provide feedback and suggestions. I will be opening a support topic for each of my released MODs as well.
Watch this space for more details as I figure this out.
