I have been with Ultimate Bulletin Board/infopop/groupie/ etc since 1998. I have seen forums eveolved and UBB was always one of the best until the recent development slow down and transition.
As many website owners know "new" Social Media (the forum was the first form of Social Media) has taken away traffic from our forums. We will need our forums to adapt and integrate social media. I know the "tweet" and "like" functions are there however the exchange of content and allowing users login through social media to share content would be great.
It important to meet users where they are and how they connect. I know the work is being done on a new version but social media needs to be integrated quickly or forums will become a dinosaur that never was able to adapt. vBulletin has taken steps to integrate social media with their
Facebook options/app. I would love to see UBBthreads do the same in version 8.0.
It is critical to the survival of forums that we are integrated with social media...
