I've been using UBB since around '98. I used several other scripts before finding the classic UBB script. I loved the move over to PHP even though the CGI version had a lot of features the PHP script lacked. Over the years UBB Threads has come a long way and I love the newest version, I just wish a few features where a little more developed.
In all the years of using UBB I've made two suggestions, both of which where arrogantly dismissed by your replies.
The first idea was to make life simpler for admin and mods by giving the users a bit of control over their private forums. Not a huge feature request but one that seemed to have been offered before based on your response. The last request, and I mean last request, was for some functionality that is built into a lot of other calendar scripts. Having event types and custom fields is not revolutionary, some of my other ideas for the calendar might have been but you didn't comment on those.
So no more feature requests from me, God forbid upsetting the balance of the global userbase by making a suggesting. It is kind of ironic though.... 8 years ago the "global userbase" was all CGI.... very little demand for PHP scripts... where is the classic version of UBB now?
Content Islands, user verification, topic watching, RSS syndication, censoring tools and even the calendar feature are very important features to some users and completely useless to other users. Right now, the calendar is one of those useless features for all my sites. I'd love to use it instead of buying another script or paying for a hack that has to be reworked after each upgrade. But from now on I'll keep quiet and realize that this section for feature requests is not for me.... being one of the "select few" as you put it.
