I'm just hoping his initials are S and D... (unlikely )

Rick...good luck with this new venture....we also are a "mom and pop" and OH MY GOSH...how did you ever get the courage to let go after so many years of faithful service here!??!!

That takes a lot of guts!

We've had UBB for as long as UBB Classic existed. It is the most stable program we have used over the years...and we use a lot of programs on our now busy site....that actually got us out of our day jobs!!! THANK YOU!... and you have always been available for support.

GOOD, GOOD LUCK! Our best to your family!

Hello Everyone,

We've been following UBB software for over 10 years and are very excited about the opportunity to work with this community and continue on where Rick has left off. While the ownership has changed, the direction hasn't and Rick has agreed to continue as a consultant to assist us with the learning curve.

We're going to be working on things behind the scenes and around the net to increase awareness, traffic, and ultimately revenue to assist with further developing UBB.

Thanks for your understanding and support!

Wow, this wasn't the posting I was expecting or looking forward to. Good luck with the new job Rick.

That's what I was kind of hoping as well.

Let's put it this way, I have no plans any time soon to change forums for my site. Let's see how this all goes.

Brooks, can you give us a little info. on your background and desires with UBB? It might put everyone at ease. Thanks.

Hear hear!

...and whether licences remain valid, T&C remain the same, etc etc...?

Brooks, Congratulations with UBB.

I have a couple of questions for you (and Rick maybe):

1. Who is going to do the development of future releases of UBB? Rick, Brooke or a complete new team? I can imagine that Rick finishes UBB8, but after that, what are your plans?

2. I have a lifetime license now. Will this still be valid in the future?

3. When does UBB8 go into bèta. Does this change of ownership mean any more delay or should we expect UBB8 soon?

I hope you can answer this questions, you'll take some questions away and I can at least sleep well tonight

After almost 15 years of doing it, it somewhat became second nature. But, also realizing my kids are getting older and I've had little time for them, or my wife for that matter, kinda made me realize I had to make some type of change.

Ok, it was clear to me that the 'glitches' in fact had a totally different reason.

I'm quit sure I will be migrating to IB.Board of vBulletin now.

As someone new is going to dig into someone else code, a 6 month delay for version 8 is the least we have to count with.

What a huge disappointment!

i was never asked about the possibility, so i'm just as in the dark as the rest..
