I've been keeping my board up to date over the years, but I've let things slip a little, recently.
I am still running 6.7.1 because I thought (at the time) this would have been the last ubb release.
Anyhow, with that thought in mind - I installed some very minor ubbdev hacks. (Flags and Admin-password)
Although I could reset my board to the pre 6.7.1 settings, I was wondering whether I could be lazy and just wait for the next gen product and upgrade from there?
Or will everyone have to be at 6.7.3 (or latest) at the time of release?
IMO, there isn't any big reason to upgrade within 6.7.x until we're ready for the "NextGen" product; myself i'm staying with 6.7.2 until then, the only reason to upgrade for me is for the upgrades to the importer...
Well, if you're not planning on exporting to another forum type there is no reason to upgrade just for the importer <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
You will need to upgrade in order to move to "NextGen"... however, it won't be to 6.7.3, but to a new version of Classic that will be released around the same time.

1 year after the planned NextGen beta relase that never happened, is there a release date yet today?
Perhaps in a month, or a year at least? ANY information?

There hasn't been any recent informaiton provided by Infopop/Groupee about a release date to the public yet, stay tuned to the newsletters, thats where everyone gets their intel.
We did reach our internal date goal scheduled for earlier this month, which was what I was referencing in my last post in this topic. At the time, I kinda assumed we'd be able to tell everyone what was going on after that date, but that isn't the case quite yet.
There will be an announcement in the relatively near future.
Patience Grasshopper. Remeber they are on the West Coast, so they are a couple of hours behind us. We've already waited this long, a little while longer never hurt anyone.
Has anyone else noticed CC's title has been changed? CC == Best Admin we've ever had at a UBB Community <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Charles is no longer with the company, he has left us, and he will be missed. Please understand that for privacy reasons it would be most improper for us to say any more than that.
We wish Charles the best of luck in the future and thank him for his contributions.

Did he left because he was as disappointed with Groupee as most of the ubbthreads users are at the moment? Was it because there will be no more downloadable product from Groupee in the future?

Excuse me but I think we, UBB.classic fans, deserve an explanation after this situation. I knew that Charles Capps was one of the lead programmers of NGP, am I wrong? And could you tell why he left this project after so many years and when he said that there will be an announcement soon?
Judging from Charles' comments over on UBBdev - notably, the part about picking a time to leave Groupee that wouldn't hurt the product - I'm guessing it's quite close to completion, if not already totally done and ready to go. Of course, I could be way off. But that's sorta the way I read into what he said.
That being said, everyone and their brother asking 'when' ain't gonna get it here any faster. I'm just as anxious as the next guy. But these guys seem to operate on a philosophy similar to Blizzard. "It may take a lot longer than we told you originally... and we may strip out some of the stuff that we promised would be there... but when it does come out, it'll still rock your freakin' face off."

"Please... for the love of everything sacred and holy... give us SOMETHING! Give us a screenshot. Give us a release date. Give us access to just ONE beta demo site. I don't care. Just give us ANYTHING!"

To be fair, though, that's one post, made several months ago. I count at least 7 from you in the last week.
But who's counting? The announcement's up now, that's all that matters. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
